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.

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.

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.

Anne of Green Gables National Park within walking distance. Lovely old Inn built in 1942. Needs updating. Reliable WiFi. Clean throughout. Helpful staff. Room could use a chair to watch TV or use a laptop, and a small refrigerator. Some breakfast items were in short supply. Parking was free. Located next door to the Lost Anchor Seafood restaurant! Good value for money.

The location was great, very near Anne of Green Gables Park, where we enjoyed the trails. Make sure you walk up to the cemetery, and to the Post Office that has a beautiful display! The location was great, not far to the beach, the dunes and Lake of shining waters. There is a small village nearby with dining options. Try the Turkey place! The staff was really nice and helpful here. Our room with twin beds was adequate and the beds were comfortable.
