Loved the view and breakfast had lots of fresh fruit. But there are lots of stairs - even within the suite to the bathroom. That was a struggle for my elderly mother.

Cliffside BnB was wonderful. Amanda was very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and nicely decorated. The breakfast had a variety of food to pick from. There was oatmeal, muffins, meats and cheeses to pick from, fresh fruit, croissants and breads, coffee and tea and more. The view of the ocean was beautiful. Lots of birds, and a nice breeze. I had a very nice experience at this BnB. I would stay again! Thank you Amanda :)

We loved our stay at Cliffside Inn! The inn is in a beautifully landscaped location right by the ocean. It was a short drive from where we arrived from the ferry from Pictou. The owners were very helpful and friendly. A wonderful continental breakfast each morning with excellent coffee. We were in a room apart from the main inn, so very private. The room was large and clean, with all the amenities we needed including a coffeemaker. We loved it!

A beautiful setting with a view of open waters and sky from the deck off our room! Truly meant for nature lovers and visitors looking for serenity. The room was clean and spacious. The host was over the top helpful with things to do, maps and places to eat! Breakfast was good with a wide selection of breads and fruits…only thing missing was cooked eggs and meat. We were so impressed with the host’s genuine hospitality to us. We’d return to Cliffside Inn in a heartbeat!

You won't find a more spectacular setting. The property overlooks the Northumberland Strait. It's not fancy, but intelligently designed, a little rustic, and spotless. They've had a challenging year, so some things are overdue for maintenance, but Amber is on top of making sure all needs are met. And then she goes above and beyond, offering special nights when she serves chowder, etc. Her gardens are gorgeous, she's warm and welcoming, and she nurtures the animals who come around. Just a lovely time!

A little gem on the south coast of PEI

While only an overnight stay this little inn tucked in on the south coast of PEI offered a magnificent view of the St Lawrence, comfy king sized beds and a home cooked breakfast. The owners were welcoming and friendly and made sure we had everything we needed.

My boyfriend and I couldn’t have asked for a better spot to stay for our last night in PEI. While you do feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere that’s half the charm. The property was beautiful the breakfast they served was delicious and we couldn’t have asked for more out of our stay. We will certainly to try stay here again the next time we’re on the east coast!

The inn has magnificent views of the ocean, is centrally located, and serves delicious breakfasts. Hosts are friendly and very accommodating. One area of improvement would be in providing better lighting upon entering unit....both outside and inside. Overall, a lovely place to stay.
