Spent nights at the Duchess of Kent. Sharyn was quite the hostess! She greeted us by name,, knowing where we hailed from, and began to map out all sorts of possibilities for our stay. She hit the nail on the head with several of her suggestions; The 1875 house was charming as hell - and our suites far exceeded our... More

This historic property was comfortable but with a few frustrations. The innkeeper needs to realize that guests have come to enjoy PEI and not spend 45 minutes or longer on an orientation session especially when your time there is limited. I would suggest that you allow guests to checkin, get their keys and if they have questions or need suggestions... More

Great location of an older inn in Charlottetown. We stayed in the guest room, it was spacious and well decorated. Two large beds, a fireplace, tv, ac, great big windows overlooking the street, private bathroom down the hall. $95/night in the busiest time of the year - doesn't get much better than that. Hostess was extremely unique, funny in a... More

I found our hostess, Sharyn, to be too intrusive, especially while we were having breakfast. We would have liked to chat with the other guests who shared our breakfast table but that was not to be the case. The location of the Inn is great! More

The Duchess of Kent Inn is a beautifully kept historic house, situated right in the heart of Charlottetown. We came here on a recommendation and I would like to pay this recommendation forward too -- this is an excellent B&B. We stayed in the turret which, if you have the option, I would certainly recommend as it is absolutely great... More

My family spent four nights at the Duchess of Kent, and we had a lovely stay. The "Dutchess" is located within walking distance of downtown Charlottetown and many great pubs, shops and museums. The Inn is a lovely, old Victorian home, with lots of interesting architecture and history. The rooms are spacious, filled with lovely period pieces and the beds... More

The Duchess of Kent was very centrally located for exploring Charlottetown. Built in 1875, the lovely home had a bit of a Green Gablesesque-time-period charm to it, with the area for guests nicely separated from the hosts' home. A nice dose of humanity in an often cold & impersonal era, the touches of Sharyn's hospitality were evident everywhere, from pillows... More

We were only in Charlottetown for a single night (alas!), and were very fortunate to have booked a room at the Duchess of Kent. The house was a great reflection of Sharyn the hostess - both were full of charm and character. The double room was quaint, fairly spacious, and very clean and comfortable, although our private bathroom was down... More

For a warm welcome to Charlottetown, PEI, go to the Duchess of Kent Inn. Nothing is too much for Sharyn and Doug, the owners to help make your stay a memorable one. The location is perfect for getting around on foot and there is plenty to see and do. Sharyn had a map prepared for us with places to see... More

This was the most hospitable lodging of the half dozen we visited in PEI, Sharyn was a delightful hostess whose warmth and concern for our welfare was one of the highlights of our trip to PEI. We spent four nights at the Duchess, a building with great character beautifully decorated by Sharyn and cared for by Doug. The tips about... More
