Loved everything about our stay! The room was comfortable and spacious. It was nice to have breakfast included and had good options. The staff were so kind, and really made us feel welcomed.
The pool is also amazing and well maintained.
The Inn was lovely. The room was large and comfortable, with a jetted tub. We didnt use the pool, but it looked inviting. The breakfast was excellent. The Inn is close the PEI National Park and the Anne of Green Gables Heritage site. Highly recommend.

Great place to stay for the price. Real friendly staff and great location
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.
Our room was so cute! It was centrally located on the island and easy to get to everything. The staff were very kind and knowledgeable about the area and the history. I wouls certainly stay here again.
Near everything. Asked for 2 extra pillows and gladly accommodated my request. With a heated pool also open until dusk. Definitely recommend if you are staying in Cavendish.
This property was a surprise for how lovely it is. The room was large and well appointed. It seems that it was renovated recently. Very comfortable and spacious.The large jacuzzi tub was a nice surprise. The location is excellent for the Cavendish area, Parking is very convenient. Definitely recommend
Have been here a few times always great and a good location. Friendly staff with an included breakfast The Inn is old and slanted in places but is a great value
Great location and great staff, would recommend it to anyone.

We had a lovely room with a view of the ocean from one window and a view beyond the Cavendish visitor center from the other. The staff, especially Emily, were polite, professional and very helpful . . . she also made a nice breakfast he next morning. We visited in the second week of October and found many restaurants and businesses had already closed for the winter. There is an easy half mile walk to the beautiful beach on the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The “Anne of Green Gables” sites are very close and most enjoyable.
