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.
