My partner and I stayed at the Maple Hill Guest House in Prince Edward Island last week and it was…read morean incredible experience. We found it on purpleroofs.com and we were very lucky to have discovered it. We were visiting my partner's nephew who was working on an organic farm on PEI for the summer and our stay at Maple Hill was an added and unexpected pleasure. We had never been to PEI before and did not know what to expect. Mike and Paul are the proprietors and they could not have done more to make our visit more perfect. Their guest house is nestled on the side of a wonderfully landscaped hill with expansive and private views of the green and plush countryside. We stayed in a beautifully converted barn that was spacious, decorated and incredibly comfortable. Their flower garden is absolutely stunning (Paul is a landscape architect) and the "Pidgeonnair" (a little room house located on a private end of the farm) was great for yoga, meditation or just relaxing in a private area. They actually farm and have several cows so the experience was absolutely complete. Breakfast was superb and we had a traditional lobster dinner (the other choice was a harvest farm dinner), that could not be beat. We also enjoyed their company and they even invited us to a concert in a nearby town (in an old church), which just made the trip all the more complete. Stunning, spectacular, fun, quiet, peaceful, beautiful and everything in between. I highly, highly recommend Maple Hill Guest House not only when visiting PEI but also as a destination. Mike and Paul have got it down. We look forward to going back and repeating our incredible experience. Really a true find!!!!!

You need some time away from the city…read more.. But this "away" needs to be a staycation (cause you can't just fly to Vegas on a whim and if you can let me borrow a few bucks will ya). You want a place that's secluded but not too far from finding good coffee and good food. You want a place you can walk trails, sit by a pool, cook up a juicy steak (or some veggie kabobs if you don't partake in meat) or sit on your private deck and look out from the top of a mountain side for a few hours each day (in between the daily naps and cribbage games)... But where to go? Stonehame should be the first thought that comes to mind. Having just spent a lovely 3 days there celebrating my first Anniversary I'm surprised no one had done a review on this place before. The 2 hour drive from Halifax puts you smack in the middle of farm country and as soon as you arrive to Stonehame you'll forget all your worries! There is a simplicity to this lodge / chalet that is not only much needed when living in the city but much appreciated. We stayed in one of the chalets (they have 9) and while ours was one of the smaller chalets (loft) it was precisely the right size for a romantic getaway. The staff was extremey friendly and other than a welcoming check in, unobtrusive. Each chalet comes fully equipped with dishes, pots and pans (though if you like to make fancy meals one frying pan may not suffice) and a gas BBQ on your private deck. Miles of trails are literally just outside your door or you can watch the horses (and lone llama) as they graze just feet from the deck. Working wood stoves inside or fire pits outside make any night at Stonehame a relaxing night. Even though all the chalets were booked while we were there it didn't feel like we were crowding each other. Noise level was minimal even with a few larger families on one side of us. We loved it there. We're pretty sure you will too.

The cottage feels like a summer home, is decent driving distance to everything, and has all the facilities you could hope for. Nancy is a great owner and is always relaxed and friendly. She's always busy taking care of something and is available to text / call if you have any questions. This stay was way above our expectations and we wish we were staying longer. I can't wait for next time.

4.5 stars I'm really…read moreglad that we chose this hotel out of all the ones I found online. Jacob helped us check-in and even assisted with taking one of our suitcases up to our room. Once we were settled we inquired about dining options and he marked them on a map of the area. In the morning the manager, Rod, was able to help us narrow down some places we could visit during our stay in Charlottetown and on our last morning he suggested a route for us to take getting to Cape Breton. He even told us to call the hotel if we had any issues in finding our way there. Our room was located on the top floor, same side as the front of the hotel. It was a decently sized room with a desk, tv, armchair and closet. The bathroom was a decent size but the shower stall was quite small and the water took a long time to warm up. Our on last morning we let the manager know that we enjoyed our stay but that the mattress was way too soft for our liking and he let us know that he's heard the same comment from other guests and that the mattress is actually new. In our section of the hotel there were a few rooms with a (small) common kitchen, dining table and a sitting area. Within the whole hotel there were a few common sitting areas both indoor and outdoors. By the front entrance there were coffee and ice machines along with filtered water. Breakfast was served in two dining rooms. There was all the makings of a continental breakfast (toast, juice, coffee, tea, yogurt, cereal) and servers would come by periodically to take orders from their menu and remove plates. There was a selection of six items to choose from and most came with locally grown potatoes (omelette, scrambled eggs or tofu, eggs benedict, oatmeal, waffles). Portions aren't big but if it's not enough then it's easy to grab some toast or yogurt to go along with it.

My father, brother, and I just had an amazing weekend in two of these beautiful, rustic, cottages…read more The physical environment alone is enough to transport travellers to a refreshing vacation that is both relaxed and sufficiently equipped for comfort. The number of cottages (some spacious and some small with a redeemingly cuteness) helps to ensure availability and provides a village-like walkabout. You can chose to use the outdoor communal furniture and fire pit to socialize with neighbouring travellers while the young'ns use the playground, or you can borrow a portable bbq and hang out on your patio with a good book. Beyond it's physical beauty, the new owners Wendy and Jay, and their staff, fill this space with an accommodating and welcoming energy. I felt immediately welcome and continued to be surprised by their generous dedication to making sure my family had the most comfortable stay possible. Riverview cottages is close to many amenities and is a 15 minute walk to "downtown Parrsboro". I have stayed in these cottages on many occasions and it is a sure good time. Even though the river (which is actually an aboiteau) now runs low, this place is rushing with welcoming feelings and relaxing vibes.

We booked our cabins with the previous owners over a year ago as we were planning a family reunion…read more Once the new owners came on board we discussed that we wanted as many of the cabins as possible - so we were able to secure 7 cabins for about 20 people and 4 dogs. Everyone stayed a minimum of 2 nights with half of us staying 5-7 days. When we discussed our plans with the new owners back in April 2012. They were aware that we were a large group, that we wanted to be able to put the children to bed and stay up with the adults and socialize with our family we only get to see every few years. They assured us that they planned on putting in fire pits and that this would not be a problem. Family travelled from around North America to come to this reunion. When we arrived we find multiple signs all over the place stating 11pm quiet time. The signs say noise after 11pm police will be called, this is your final warning and so on. We also found out that there were no fire pits built. We offered to buy a stand alone movable pit to use during out stay and that we would leave it. We were given a firm/rude "no". The quiet time is more like a curfew. At 10:55 each night the owners come around and ask you to go into your cabins. The cabins are rustic, which I like, but there is no insulation for noise so when 15 people are crowded into one cabin to visit, it get noisy. If there had been fire pits away from the cabins, we would have happily hung out there. There were also a number of instances where they said rude/strange things to members of our group. They definitely lack customer service skills and they customer is not always right. Here are some examples: 1. Family with two kids drives into the cabins and asks "where is the office?" Answer: "Didn't you see the signs???" 2. For two groups of people when they arrived from long distances in the early afternoon, they were made to wait for the 3pm check in time even though their cabins were completely ready. This meant a mom and two kids under 4 napped in their car in the heat. 3. Husband arrives a day later than his wife. Comment from owners "well check in isn't until 3pm - why are you here???" His wife had checked in the day before so it wasn't an issue so then they said "Those dogs better be friendly - we have guests who are afraid of dogs." They website clearly states pet friendly and we all called and made sure they knew we were bringing dogs. We had previously thought we might book the whole complex for the next reunion weekend n 2 years. After the way we were all treated we will be looking elsewhere. The cottages themselves are great - very rustic but charming unto themselves. Very much unlike the owners.

LOVE love LOVED the Planter's Barracks Bed & Breakfast. From the lovely and informative manager,…read moreErin, to the doll of a housekeeper, Bee, this place was a hit from start to finish! Originally Fort Hughes, the barracks were built in 1778 as rest quarters for the military during the war. Although we visited in the fall (late October) and it was far too cold to enjoy the yard, fire pit, or deck - the grounds are absolutely beautiful. There are six suites here each with a private washroom and shower or tub. Every room has a different feel with a slightly different layout. Each room has an electric fireplace fit into where the original fireplaces were. Of course there are some odd nuances here like sloping or creaky floors - however, I love it all! Erin is a gem! She's bursting with knowledge and history on the barracks as well as the local area. Ask her for a suggestion or idea, she won't let you down! Um and hello, how did I almost forget the amazing food?!?! With a focus on local, everything from the morning coffee (Just Us Coffee) to the produce, you are in for a gourmet and elegant treat! The breakfast was among if not the best I've ever had on vacation. The yogurt parfait was to die for. The cottage cheese frittata was light and fluffy like a dream! Of course, everyday is different. Also, upstairs there is a small communal kitchen with freshly baked muffins, coffee, tea, sweets and a fridge to chill your local wine or keep your gelato frozen until late night treat time. Everything you need is right there from a corkscrew to red or white wineglasses. Planter's Barracks has really thought of it all. Even the complimentary toiletries are earth friendly. I could go on and on. But really, check out their website or give Erin a call to find out more! You won't be disappointed. I only wish we could have changed our flights and stayed longer! https://plantersbarracks.com
