A perfect
blend of elegance and comfort, this house is as grand as they come, while the welcome is
warm and down to earth. The innkeepers have put some serious thought into how to
make their guests comfortable: the answer is found with refined antiques, muted color
schemes, and details like hidden alcoves with fridges and hot pots for guests to keep cold
drinks or make tea.
Eating
Thanks largely to the Culinary Institute at Charlottetown's Holland College, which keeps
churning out talented chefs, the city has a heaped helping of fine eateries. During sum-
mer, Victoria Row's pedestrian mall and the waterfront are hot spots for diners and drink-
ers. Pubs are also a great place to go for good-value eating.
