We had a lovely stay at this historic B&B. The house is very well-maintained and modern, the innkeeper engaging without being overbearing. It is about a half mile walk to town or a 5 min car ride.

Donna, the owner and our hostess, was a treat. Friendly greeting when we arrived, quickly checked us in, gave us info and a map with reco on where to go and what to do. Our room was quite large and very comfortable. I slept like a log! The homemade hot breakfast was delicious. The home's decor is lovely. Great front porch for sitting awhile. Highly recommend.

A get a way @ the Dawson House is a gift to yourself We enjoyed a 2 night stay in Captains Room and were delighted w the attention to detail, the close proximity to downtown and other points of interest. The breakfast was not to be missed both delicious and beautifully presented The innkeeper was wonderful and quickly responded to any needs. We feel as though we made a friend and plan to return

The house is charming, and the hostess (Donna) very gracious. Breakfasts (homemade) were also excellent. Our bedroom was beautifully decorated and comfortable. The garden is also lovely. It is a 15-20 minute walk from downtown Charlottetown, which is doable. (The only negative was climbing 4 sets of stairs to get to our room on the third floor.) Otherwise, great!

The check in was quick and thorough, Donna was very down to earth and pleasant . She runs a beautiful Old Victorian house that is so clean and comfortable. It’s extremely welcoming from the first step you take inside the foyer. Breakfast was delicious and the conversation around the table with the other guests and Donna was great! It’s really a small world when you get chatting. We haven’t been BnB guests in the past, but this trip to the east coast has changed our way of thinking.

Breakfast was home made and served with elegance. Our hostess, Donna, was wonderful and very knowledgeable of places to visit. Bed was comfortable, internet access was secure and we had our own transportation but most of the downtown is walkable if you are able. We would certainly recommend the Dawson House as a go to place to stay.
