    A stately period home tastefully restored and staged with art, nautical objects, antiques and books placed enticingly everywhere. Room to breathe and sleep near the sea.

    That we had to leave so soon

    I hope the backstory about the property. And Alison had made so many intentional choices from stacks of meaningful literary novels to a lovely fresh home. Alison also went out of the way to try to find some guitar strings so my husband could play the instrument. She had the serve yourself tea and cookie station was also a nice touch.

    There wasn’t much to not like about it. I would suggest that there was some more outdoor seating because it was a beautiful view and a lovely property and I would like to enjoy it more outside as well.

    Property response:

    Thanks, Katy, it was lovely to meet you and host you both!

    Allison's care to detail and desire to please her guest goes above and beyond what is the norm these days. Her breakfasts were outstanding. She even made a special trip to Charlottetown to get us more of the most delicious jams on day two of our stay, after we had commented on how delicious they were. The room we stayed in was beautifully appointed and the bed was extremely comfortable. This was not the only lovely spot in the B & B, the whole home is beautifully decorated.

    Property response:

    Thanks so much, Natasha! It was a pleasure meeting you and Tom! :)

    The location was beautiful and peaceful, with views over the water and mature trees and hydrangeas surrounding the inn. The inn is gorgeous — a cozy and charming heritage building with high ceilings and original architectural features, and beautiful decor. Allison is a truly wonderful hostess, so engaging and knowledgeable, a fabulous cook (breakfasts were outstanding!), and she had great recommendations for local sites, restaurants, and shopping.

    We wish we could have stayed longer!

    Thank you so much, Brenda, for your very kind words. Great to meet you and have you stay!

    Everything! This is the first time I literally can't come up with any negatives. We have travelled a lot in the last 10 years...a variety of accommodations ...and the Library Inn was outstanding. Allison has created that fine balance of comfort without feeling uncomfortable!! Little touches like using local soap, local jams, help yourself to tea and cookies, the piles of books around to read, the spaces in which to sit and relax.....all these little extra touches have created such a sense of 'home' and 'acceptance' in this Inn. She is a brilliant host.....we had some great discussions about books...and life in general. We were sad to leave after our 3 days.

    Nothing!!!!!

    Allison took great care of us! She texted or called when we were running late when we were out touring the island to make sure we didn't have any problems. She provided some great suggestions for restaurants and exploring the island. The breakfasts were made to order. The breakfast conversations with other guests was delightful!! The Library Inn was cozy and inviting.

    Not being familiar with PEI, I didn't realize the Library Inn in Souris was so far from most of the things we planned to do. This was my fault for not researching more. We were happy with the quieter side of the island and thoroughly enjoyed the drives as we explored.

    Property response:

    Thank you so much Kathryn. It was so lovely to meet you and have you stay! All the best!

    The perfect place to stay on PEI. Allison is an exceptionally attentive and kind host, who gave good recommendations for things to do locally, and looked after us fantastically with freshly cooked breakfasts each morning. We loved the room with a sea view and slept beautifully in the enormous bed. The living room with an open fire was a lovely touch, and one our best evenings was spent reading by the fire and drinking whiskey. Thanks so much Allison, we'll be recommending your place to all our friends!

    Thank you so much, David. It makes me very happy to know that you had such a wonderful and memorable stay! It was a great pleasure to host you. All the best to you both!

    The house is beautiful and very spacious. Great location to Basin Head beach, and nice view to the harbor. The rooms are very comfortable and tastefully decorated. You find boutique soap in the bathroom with fresh fragrances.The bedding, immaculate, and beautiful. And for the first time I found someone with the good sense of not making the beds in summer with a comforter that gives you unnecessary heat in the night but leaving it optional at the bottom of the bed if you want to use it. The breakfast is like no other since it is customized to the preferences of the guest. The host is superb. A lovely, attentive, sweet lady pending even the minimum details to make your stay a memorable experience. Is a pleasure to talk to her and hear her advice on literature.One of the best places I have ever stayed. Would give a score of 20 if available.

    Having to leave!

    Thank you so much, Maria, for these very kind words. It was a pleasure meeting you and tu familia!
