This is a beautiful house in a neighborhood perfect for walking and exploring Charlottetown. The bed is comfortable and the room spacious. This is also, in our opinion, owned by people who are not meant to run an inn or bed and breakfast. We booked our room two months in advance. When we arrived, we were met by the owner, who said we were being upgraded because the owners were leaving for their son's swim match. We were the only guests in this eight room inn. Further, we were told there was no breakfast but we were given vouchers that they thought had credit, to be used for breakfast in town. The owner hurredly outlined information about the room, and because English was not the first language, we did not fully understand the information. We had to ask for coffee for the coffee pot and only learned after the owners left that there were no coffee filters, no cream or milk, no soap, and we were given one log for the fire (for our two night stay). We were given no contact information for anyone. We essentially felt abandoned. We tried to use the partial vouchers and learned their value was significantly less then reported. The worst piece was realizing none of the windows could open, and we witnessed the owner locking doors - and we worried about what we might do in case of fire in this old house. Although the owners did give us a refund equal to two day's breakfast, we strongly believe the owners should have contacted us as soon as they knew they would have no one to act as host and given us the option to rebook elsewhere. The entire experience felt unsafe and highly disturbing.

Very friendly staff with clean and spacious rooms. I really enjoyed the layout and character of this house. Delicious breakfasts included each morning with a nice one on one dining experience for my girlfriend and I. Also within a nice walking distance from downtown if you want to take a break from driving everywhere.

This was my second time at the Elmwood. I love the historic house and all of its furnishings. The manager of the house treated us as family. I suggest getting the breakfasts while there. Those are optional, but they are a nice way to start the morning.

My wife and i stayed there for 4 nights . Perfect location in Charlottetown .. 20 minute walk to downtown restuarants . The Library room we had at this B&B was really nice and clean. Every breakfast we had was very good quality and taste. All Covid protocols are being followed and we felt very safe. They were helpful for me as they allowed me to charge my Tesla one night as the Tesla Supercharger in town wasnt commissioned until our 3rd day we were there . Its a very old house very tastefully decorated with antiques ..

This was a once beautiful old home that needs some updating. We stayed on the third floor and there wasn't any elevator. The stairs were steep and narrow, as they often are in these old homes.and not easy to navigate with a suitcase in hand. The breakfasts in the dining room were very tasty and had an Far Eastern flair to them as the owners and our friendly servers were all Chinese.

When my husband and I returned from our one week honeymoon on Prince Edward Island, someone asked me, "What was your favorite part of this trip?" After reflecting over our many experiences, including the Anne of Green Gables tour, fine dining/fresh seafood fare, hiking and beach-combing, my answer is: My favorite part of our honeymoon was the bed and breakfast- The Elmwood Heritage Inn. The historical house was charming, and the hosts- Jay and Carol Macdonald- are wonderful people. I wish we would have taken one day just to BE at the inn and enjoy a relaxing day at that beautiful place. Jay & Carol received us warmly even after arrived unexpectedly very late, due to a long flight delay. Each morning we enjoyed a gourmet breakfast complete with fresh cut flowers from their garden. Afterwards, they would help us plan our day, complete with maps, great advice and reservations made on our behalf. Their home is something out of a movie- furnished with antiques fitting to the era of its architecture. Each bedroom is elegantly decorated with a unique theme, with a locally handmade quilt on every bed. The Macdonalds took gracious care of us during the entire stay. At the end of one week it, felt as if we were saying goodbye to an uncle and aunt that we had just met. It is a place which we most highly recommend and where we hope to stay again.

The very apotheosis of inns. Carol and Jay are superlative innkeepers who look after every detail, from the place settings on the table to the way the breakfast fruits are presented. The room was pristine and well appointed. The inn is conveniently situated in Charlottetown: not in the congested downtown area, but very close by. Carol and Jay were helpful with touring and dining suggestions. They were wonderful and gracious hosts. Overall comment: Fabulous.. Thank you Carol and Jay Fern and Abe

If you stay in the Cook's Room, they have Ratatouille on DVD and the shower had two showerheads.

The Elmwood Heritage Inn looms above you and gives Addams Family vibes as you're climbing the steps to the front porch. For us, it was perfect as we love these old places and we loved the Elmwood! The grounds are very well-maintained, there is a lovely sitting area out front and there is loads of parking. We were greeted at the front door by a little Japanese lady. She was friendly as she checked us in. She gave us a map of the area and explained how to get to the downtown area - which is a hop, skip and a jump away. We actually took our bikes and toured the whole downtown core easily. Very well-located! As we were gathering our luggage from the car, one of the owners, a super friendly Chinese man, came out and grabbed all our bags and hauled them straight up to our room. Wonderful service! Our room was on the second floor. The stairs are a little narrow and steep and they curve at the top which is pretty much a given in these old Victoria homes so don't bring a giant, bus-sized suitcase like I did. You will struggle. The room was huge and so comfy! We had a big, Queen-sized bed and a little sitting area with two fluffy, high-backed chairs that you sank into. The bathroom was large and bright and had one of those old-fashioned claw foot tubs with the shower curtain that goes all the way around. Everything was very neat and clean. We had loads of extra towels, a hair dryer, iron (which came in handy!) and lots of extra toiletries like soaps, razor blades, cotton balls, etc. As this is a heritage inn, the décor is verrrrry antique right down to the gaudy floral wallpaper, the paintings on the wall, the furniture and the crocheted cover for the tissue boxes so if you're expecting an ultra-modern Hilton-type place, this isn't the place for you. Rather, it is like stepping back in time to something out of Road to Avonlea but it fits and gives the inn a lovely authentic feel. But rest assured that modern conveniences such as wifi, AC and cable television are in all the rooms. The only drawback - which isn't really a drawback but rather my own personal pettiness - they don't clean your room everyday like other hotels. We stayed two days and there was no change of towels, making of the bed, general tidying, etc. I'm a snotty, spoiled traveler (ha!) who loves clean towels and a made bed so I noticed straight away when it wasn't done. But did it ruin our trip? Absolutely not! We looooved our stay at the Elmwood! It had everything we wanted, the owners / staff were lovely and we'd recommend it to anyone headed into the Charlottetown area. We fully plan to stay there again.

Extremely beautiful house. My room was very lovely and clean. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious. The best breakfasts I have ever had. The hosts were very friendly.
