We stayed at the Inn because of its reasonable cost and its proximity to the ferry across to PEI. It is also within easy walking distance to good restaurants on the harbor.
The Inn is close to the charming harbor.

Such a charming old hotel with lots of history. Comfortable sleep and wonderful breakfast included in a huge dining area. However there are no elevators and our room was in 2nd story so not wheelchair friendly

Stayed 4 nights. Same continental breakfast every morning. Rooms are clean and grounds well kept. Lots of deer sightings. A little annoyed they wanted extra $ to extend our check out for 1 hour … especially after staying 4 nights. Too bad!
