Discover why The Eddie Hotel and Farm is considered the best B&B in Prince Edward County, perfect for a relaxing and stylish weekend getaway.
It was early spring in Prince Edward County. Still too chilly to sit outside, but perfect for a cozy escape. I booked a weekend at The Eddie Hotel and Farm, often called one of the best B&Bs in the region, and it ended up being exactly what I needed.
Housed in a beautiful historical home, The Eddie feels warm the moment you step inside. High ceilings, creaky floors, rooms filled with light and charm. Mornings started slowly, with a delicious homemade breakfast and coffee that seemed to stretch on forever. And just outside the windows, a few curious chickens wandered the property like they owned the place, adding to the magic in the most unexpected way.
Here’s what it was like to spend a weekend at The Eddie in Prince Edward County.

The Best B&B in Prince Edward County
Why Choose The Eddie in Prince Edward County?
There are so many accommodations in Prince Edward County, but The Eddie isn’t just a place to stay. It’s a piece of Prince Edward County’s story. Built in the 1860s, the main house is one of the oldest properties in the area and still carries that sense of quiet, timeless charm. You feel it as soon as you step through the front door :the tall ceilings, the worn wood floors, the kind of character you just can’t recreate.
Even though the space has been updated with modern comforts, it hasn’t lost what made it special in the first place. It’s cozy without being cluttered, elegant without trying too hard. Everything feels intentional.
And then there’s the property itself. The house sits on a large farm where a handful of friendly chickens roam freely, often popping up to say hello or following you to the porch. There’s something unexpectedly joyful about watching them wander past your window during breakfast.
A B&B That Feels Like Home (With a Glass of Wine to Start!)
The rooms at The Eddie feel like they were designed for rest. Each one has its own style, but they all share the same sense of calm: soft linens, vintage details, warm light, and just enough character to make you want to stay in a little longer. Nothing feels rushed here. It’s the kind of place where you instinctively put your phone down and settle in.
When I arrived, I was greeted with a glass of wine and a smile that made it feel like I was visiting family from out of town. That small gesture set the tone for the whole weekend. There’s a genuine warmth to the way guests are welcomed here!
I stayed in the Lakeview King West Suite and it was exactly what I needed. A comfortable bed, plenty of space to breathe, and big windows with views on west lake to one side and on the orchard in the other. Even though it was too chilly to sit outside, I never felt like I was missing out, the view from the window was enough.
The magic of The Eddie isn’t just in the rooms, it’s in the shared spaces too. The heart of the house is a cozy, sun-filled living room where guests naturally gather. On my first night, I found myself chatting with a woman from Germany and her two daughters who were visiting Canada for the first time. We shared stories like old friends, even though we had only just met.
Scott, the house manager (and also the talented cook behind breakfast), sat with us that evening to help map out our wine tour for the next day. It wasn’t just helpful, it felt like something a friend would do, pointing out favorite stops and hidden gems we might have missed on our own.
In the dining room, a long communal table brings everyone together in the morning. It’s where breakfast is served, but also where you can help yourself to coffee, tea, and cold water throughout the day. It’s the kind of setup that makes you feel right at home. One evening when we got back from a day out, the smell of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies drifted through the house. There was a plate waiting for us in the entry, still warm. You can also purchase a bottle of local wine on-site to enjoy at your leisure, which makes it all too easy to settle in for the night.
The Eddie offers that rare kind of hospitality that’s both relaxed and intentional. You can do your own thing or lean into the social energy of the house. Either way, you’ll be well taken care of.
Breakfast at The Eddie
Breakfast at The Eddie will be the highlight of your stay, believe me! The night before, you simply jot down your order—along with the time you’d like to eat—and by the time you come downstairs, everything is ready and waiting.
The menu offers a generous variety, from rich and perfectly balanced eggs Benedict to fluffy Belgian waffles (which might be the best I’ve had since my trip to Belgium). There’s also the classic County breakfast with eggs, sausages, and crispy bacon, served alongside roasted potatoes and seasonal fruit. No matter what you choose, it’s thoughtful, filling, and clearly made with care.
A basket of warm croissants is placed on the table, along with a selection of juices, plenty of coffee, and all the little touches that make breakfast feel like a real occasion. Meals are served at the large communal dining table, which naturally invites conversation between guests. On my first morning, I ended up chatting with other travelers for nearly an hour after finishing my plate, swapping travel stories and tips about the area.
That said, if you’re in the mood for a quieter start to the day, there’s also the option to dine in the living room. A small table is set up there, perfect for those who want a little privacy while still enjoying the same delicious food.
Breakfast here isn’t rushed or routine, it’s part of the experience!
The Property: More Than a B&B
The Eddie may feel like home on the inside, but step outside and you’ll quickly realize it’s much more than a bed and breakfast. Set on a beautiful orchard just off Loyalist Parkway, the property feels expansive but still intimate, with wide open skies, rows of trees, and little pockets of quiet everywhere you turn. Even in early spring, when the landscape was still waking up, the setting felt calm and grounding.
In the warmer months, the grounds really come to life. Every Saturday in the summer, The Eddie hosts a local farmers’ market right on-site, complete with fresh produce, local treats, and community vibes. There’s even a charming little cheese shop tucked into one of the buildings, perfect for picking up a snack to enjoy later with a glass of wine.
Guests can also rent e-bikes directly from the property and hop onto the nearby Millennium Trail, which winds through the County’s vineyards and countryside. It’s one of the best ways to explore the area, especially if you’re planning to visit a few wineries without worrying about parking or long drives.
And of course, there are the chickens, who roam freely and confidently as if they run the place (and let’s be honest, they kind of do).

And don’t skip the beach. Even outside peak summer months, a stop at Sandbanks Provincial Park or North Beach can be a peaceful way to end the day. Pack a blanket, pick up snacks from the market or cheese shop on-site, and watch the sun dip below the water.
Prince Edward County has so many layers, and staying at The Eddie puts you right in the middle of it all; close enough to explore, far enough to relax.

I almost made a very different version of this reel.
Last time I posted about Smiths Falls, the comments surprised me and a lot of them seemed to come from people who actually live there. There’s nothing to do here. It’s boring. My first instinct was to make a whole clap-back video, screenshots and all.
But honestly? I get it. Nobody is a tourist in their own town. The canal is just the thing you cross on your way to work. The museum is where you went once on a school trip in grade four. When you see a place every single day, it goes invisible.
I grew up near the Bay of Fundy – home of the highest tides on the planet – and as a kid I thought it was the most boring place on earth. It took moving away to realize people cross oceans to see what was in my backyard.
So this reel is me being a tourist in your town for you. The 1912 bridge you’d paddle under if you hadn’t stopped noticing it. The museum where you can climb into the trains, and even sleep in one. The thrift trail. The mural. All of it.
To everyone who’s never been: this is your sign for an easy day trip from Ottawa or Kingston.
And to Smiths Falls locals: I dare you to do one thing from this list this weekend. Report back. 😌
What’s the thing in YOUR town that you’ve stopped noticing? I want to hear it.

I have a confession: half my road trips are reverse-engineered.
I don’t pick a destination and find a coffee shop nearby. I pick the coffee shop, then build a whole day around justifying the drive. A hike here, a beach there, some antiquing, all very respectable cover stories for the fact that I drove two hours for an iced latte.
Because here’s what I’ve figured out after years of crisscrossing Ontario: the best coffee shops are never just coffee shops. They’re the unofficial welcome centre of every small town. The barista knows which trail is muddy this week. The regulars will tell you where to park for free. The bulletin board has better local intel than any travel blog, mine included.
So this list isn’t really about coffee. It’s about the 12 places I use as an excuse to keep exploring this province. Swipe through, every single one comes with what to pair it with so you can build your own cover story.
From Thunder Bay to the County, consider this your permission slip to drive unreasonably far for caffeine.
Which one’s closest to you? And more importantly, what’s YOUR coffee shop worth driving for? I’m always taking notes. ☕

For over a hundred years, the men who lived in this house woke up, looked at the lake, and went to work captaining the Wolfe Island ferry. Three generations of them. Same water, same crossing, every day.
I thought about that a lot during my stay at @themullinhouse_ (mainly from the bathtub, because the tub faces the lake and once you’re in it there’s no reason to be anywhere else.)
The Mullin House just opened as a stay, and those who brought it back to life did it in the best way that possible. Keeping the soul of the place.Places with an actual story make my job as a photographer easy. I just have to pay attention.
And if you want to stay here too: It’s a free 20-minute ferry from Kingston, 5 bedrooms, sleeps 10. So this is your sign to plan the group trip you keep talking about.
Save this for when you book it, and be honest, would you make it out of that bathtub by checkout?
Thank you to @themullinhouse_ for having me!

I grew up an hour from the Bay of Fundy. And every few years, my school would pile us onto a bus and take us to Hopewell Rocks or Fundy National Park. And every single time, as a kid, I thought : ‘okay, cool. Rocks. Trees. Can we go home now?’
I had absolutely no idea what I was standing next to.
It took me leaving New Brunswick, travelling across the country before I came back to the Bay of Fundy as an adult and genuinely had my breath taken away. I grew up next to one of the most extraordinary places on the planet and completely took it for granted. And I think a lot of Maritimers probably feel the same way.
This carousel is my attempt to fix that, for myself, and for anyone who’s never made the trip. Scroll through and I’ll show you exactly how I’d plan a road trip along the New Brunswick side, from the tidal flats to the coastal cliffs to the little fishing towns that feel completely frozen in time.
And if you have extra days to spare, Saint John is absolutely worth a stop, underrated city, great food scene, and it sits right on the bay.
I’m also heading back this summer to try a stay I’ve had my eye on for a while, I genuinely cannot wait to tell you all about it. 👀
Save this for your New Brunswick road trip. 🙌
👇 Have you ever been to the Bay of Fundy? Were you as underwhelmed as I was at 10 years old? 😄

I’ll be honest, when I pulled up to @whispering_springs I didn’t know what to expect. I’d seen the photos, I’d read the website, but nothing really prepares you for the moment you walk into your safari tent and realize this might actually be nicer than your apartment.
We’re talking a king bed, more space than I expected, and an actual bathtub, in a tent. I took a bath. In the woods. And I would do it again without hesitation.
Oh and the s’mores bar? Someone thought really hard about what would make people unreasonably happy at the end of a summer night and they nailed it.
Save this for your summer planning because at 90 minutes from Toronto there is really no reason to wait.
Now tell me have you ever gone glamping? If not, what are you waiting for!
