We stayed here for two nights while on holidays in August 2025. The location was great for us and very convenient. However, the room itself was quite outdated and small. The outlet near the head of the bed was blocked by the fixed headboard, which made charging devices difficult. The bathroom was very small as well, with little to no storage space. The carpet was quite old and wrinkled, which took away from the overall feel of the room. On the positive side, the staff were pleasant, friendly, and very helpful throughout our stay. Breakfast was included and offered a good variety of choices, which we appreciated. Overall, while the location and staff were excellent, the rooms would really benefit from some updates.

My adult daughter and I just spent a lovely August weekend here in the Inn’s King Suite. The suite itself was very comfortable. The Inn staff were really friendly and helpful. It is walking distance to many Ann of Green Gables sites and very close to the beach. It is also close to the road to other seaside towns. We had a wonderful time.

Brilliant location but inn is tired. It's not as pretty and antique inspired as it could be so instead of feeling romantic, it feels a bit sad and in need of a fave lift. Breakfast was poor compared with other places costing a similar price. Disappointed overall.

We enjoyed staying in the main building. Our room had 2 twin beds. Breakfast had a good variety of breakfast items including scrambled eggs, bagel, cereal, juice, cheese, yogurt. Breakfast is available from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. I realize the square footage of our room was small which left no room for a chair or desk although there is a beautiful sitting room on the main floor.

Tiny suite accessible using rickety stairs. Floor sloped in our room. Staff was nice. Nice deck to sit on in the evening. Traffic noise. No restaurants besides Tim’s in the immediate area.

The room was a good size for two people. We really wish for a small fridge to keep things cold and maybe at least one chair to sit on in the room. Staff was great, very helpful and there was no issues with the Inn

We stayed in the main Inn with a 2 room suite. Even though it was old, it had a lot of character! The bathroom floor was on a slant, but all the fixtures were updated and worked well. Nice breakfast and friendly staff.

The staff are very accommodating. This place is a bit older but has a rustic charm. Can tell it’s very well maintained. Wish there were a few more options at breakfast but it was definitely acceptable. Overall, a wonderful stay, would stay again :)
