The Best Hotels in Nova Scotia and Atlantic Canada - AFAR
"If a casual cottage stay is on your agenda, consider Shaw’s Hotel, operated by the same family for four generations. It all started in 1860, when John Shaw opened the inn on his pioneer farm; 145 years later, the hotel was designated a National Historic Site. The main building, with its white clapboard siding and red mansard roof, holds 14 rooms and suites outfitted with antiques. Guests can also choose from 15 chalets with full kitchens and large decks, as well as 10 traditional cottages with picturesque views. In the on-site restaurant, expect chowder, mussels, scallops, lobster, and other island treats. From the expansive grounds, it’s a five-minute walk to Brackley Beach in P.E.I. National Park, which has one of the longest dune systems in the Western Hemisphere." - Barbara Peck
