We chose shinning waters because of its convenient location to the confederation trail, it had a breakfast. , and the price was decent. We were just off season so there was very few people. I think it would be a great spot for families in the summer.

The Inn was lovely. The room was large and comfortable, with a jetted tub. We didnt use the pool, but it looked inviting. The breakfast was excellent. The Inn is close the PEI National Park and the Anne of Green Gables Heritage site. Highly recommend.
