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!

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.

We had such a lovey stay at Dawson house! Donna is very thoughtful and sweet, she is very welcoming, provided an excellent restaurant recommendation and made a delicious breakfast. We liked the room decor and the bed. The bed sheets were very comfy. The Dawson house has a sunning decor inside! It is kept very well. Don’t forget to try the pumpkin loaf!!

This is a lovely house, in a nice part of Charlottetown. Donna, the owner is a gracious host, and the breakfasts she provided were fabulous. The rooms are very nicely decorated, but our bed, while comfortable was very bouncy. You couldn't rollover without disturbing your partner. The bathroom was functional, but could use a bit of a makeover. It was a big step into the shower tub. Charlottetown is grossly overpriced, but given that, Dawson House while no bargain, is fairly priced.

Our stay was wonderful. Donna was a kind,caring,knowledgeable host. She made you feel so comfortable in her home. The home was beautiful. The grounds were so nice for sitting . The beds are so comfortable. Breakfast was amazing each day. It is a short 15 minute walk into town. The area is very pretty. Coffee,tea,water available each day. She also has something sweet for nibbling. I definitely would recommend this bed and breakfast in Charlottetown, PEI.
