Property Description

The Elmwood Heritage Inn has seven unique units and is rated Three Diamonds from AAA/CAA and has been awarded Five Stars for fourteen years from Canada Select Accommodation Grading System. This was the first Five Star accommodation rating given to any property in PEI, and only the sixth Five Star Bed and Breakfast rating granted in all of Canada.

This “oasis in the heart of the city” is the only Charlottetown area B&B not located on the street or at a corner for those who value privacy, peace and quiet. Street noises fade away in this elegant nineteenth-century estate. Antique wrought iron gates frame the entrance to Elmwood which is hidden up a majestic 350 foot long elm edged drive on a secluded park-like acre.

Built in 1889 for The Hon. Arthur Peters, grandson of Sir Samuel Cunard, Elmwood is outside Charlottetown’s business core and so avoids the sounds and noises of late night bars and restaurants. Yet for being “off the beaten track”, we are not “out of the way” since Elmwood is just 12 blocks (a 3 1/2 minute drive or a 15-20 minute walk) from the main intersection downtown at the Confederation Centre of the Arts Theatre, Province House, shopping and restaurants and a mere 4 blocks to Victoria Park and the harbour. Pamper yourself for your vacation, business or convention stay, or that special honeymoon in PEI’s first Five Star Victorian Bed and Breakfast, one of the finest in Canada. “We hope you come as guests and leave as friends.”

We are 20 minutes from supervised beaches, twenty golf courses are within a 45 minute radius (the closest just 8 minutes across town), PEI’s National Park and Anne of Green Gables can be reached in 30 minutes and rolling hills, interesting architecture, lighthouses and ocean views abound. Elmwood is a wonderful destination for all seasons and all reasons.

Breakfast

Breakfast is always served by candlelight downstairs in the Main Reception Hall and the 24 foot Dining Room with a black faux marble fireplace, lit except on the hottest days. Our breakfast includes fresh squeezed orange juice, fresh fruit, cereals, a hot daily entrée, home baking and preserves, hot fair-traded coffee and specialty teas steeped in silver pots. We are pleased to offer vegetarian and vegan items for breakfast, and have adapted many recipes for sugar-free, gluten-free, egg-free, and milk-free baking, as well. More details and a recipe can be found by clicking the Breakfasts and Recipes Page.

“Elmwood” set a standard for the elegant Charlottetown home of the 1890′s. It was a home built for comfort and entertaining; hardly a day went by when family or friends didn’t stop in for a cup of tea in the afternoon. Now, as a Five Star Bed & Breakfast Inn, it is again. We hope our period antiques, colourful bed quilts, and heartfelt hospitality will enhance your vacation, honeymoon or business trip to Prince Edward Island. We love the comment our guests have often made, “It’s just like coming home.” We look forward to your visit.
