Fine resort! Nothing glamorous in the regular motel rooms but it was clean and quiet and the property was green and beautiful.

The best choice in Cavendish
The cottage is a lovely place, perfect for easy traveling in the countryside. It is in a very relaxed setting, and within walking distance of the beach and Green Gable. The room is so clean that I feel comfortable to wear no slippers in the room. I give it 10 rating in all criteria.

So charming!
Loved the little room we got at this charming little hotel. It was very homey, comfortable and felt very much like a home away from home. We were able to use the barbecue one night, and were delighted that there were barbecue tools provided. Only things that were not as good were the stair case to our cabin/hotel was off, which left a gap between the porch and the staircase. But overall an excellent little place to stay in PEI!

Great large cottage with a kitchen and living room as well as a BBQ. Lots of room for a whole family of 6 in the 3 room cottage. The playground in the lot is great for kids. Not a lot of options for food later at night so make sure you eat early or go to the Lost Anchor restaurant on the corner. Walking distance to the Anne of Green Gables site.

Cottages were quiet for the most part. Very clean but needed some TLC in places. I personally wouldn’t regard them as “luxury” but all essentials were provided. I would book next door for a single cottage next time rather than sharing a wall with next door.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Staff were wonderful and friendly. The grounds were clean, with two pools, a gym, and laundry facilities. The location was unbeatable. We were able to walk to most attractions. However, our cottage was in need of repairs. The floors were slanted, cracked walls, and the decor was horribly outdated, making it feel like Grandma's place. Which I could have overlooked, given the price, if it was clean. Lots of hair all over the place, spiders, and a fake eyelash stuck to the pillowcase wrecked it for us.

Cute cottage
Lovely little cottage, and thus a lovely little stay in PEI. Cottage was clean. The single beds were comfortable, the couch and double/queen bed weren’t very comfortable, but for 3 nights we made do. Was nice to have a kitchen to cook, needed scissors in the kitchen though! The pool was amazing, but may want to let people know they need to bring towels for the pool. Overall we would stay here again.

Our kitchenette rooms could use some upgrades. The air conditioning window units are so loud they wake you out of a sound sleep. Kitchenette is good - new and functional. Bathroom sink in one unit was broken and you couldn't fill it with water. In the other unit the bathroom was fine. Close to lots of activities and restaurants and shopping. Located in a very family-oriented area. The rooms could be better but we weren't in them very long (out doing touristy stuff). For us the location was the biggest factor.
