"We had a wonderful stay. Rooms, property and pool were very clean. Staff, both front desk and housekeeping were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was as you would expect in a buffet breakfast room - some stuff you like, some you don't. We were very pleased with it, as there was enough variety to always leave satisfied, including fresh fruit and yogurt daily. The breakfast cooks were so, so friendly, we just loved them! Not 1 complaint about anything from us! Next trip to PEI, we will definitely book there again!"

"Affordable place to stay. Quiet. Older building so don't expect fancy. For me that's not a problem. Didn't really like that the only door you needed your key for was your actual room. Didn't need it for any outside doors or pool. But PEI is a pretty safe place so.."

"Everything was great! The furniture was outdated but we didn't mind. In general, the whole place has the aura of days gone by, so fussy modernists may complain. My only true complaint was that the curtains were not room darkening. When we arrived, the bathroom was missing hand soap and shampoo, but someone brought them up to us immediately. Great service! Breakfast was fine, similar to a Quality Inn."

"The property was close to the beach and sightseeing spots, only a few minutes of drive away. The ocean was visible from afar on clear days. The cottage was adequately equipped, with toiletries, dishwasher detergent, salt and pepper, oven, microwave, refrigerator and a dishwasher. There wasn't much space to stove away or hang our clothes in though. A few extra hooks would be nice. Also, not much of recycling happening."
