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).

Nearby Things to Do

If you’re planning to explore the local wine scene, you’re in the perfect spot. The Eddie is just minutes from some of my favorite wineries, many of which I featured in my Prince Edward County Winery Itinerary. Renting one of their on-site e-bikes and spending a day on the Millennium Trail is a fun and relaxed way to hop between tastings.

For food lovers, there are endless options. From casual farm-to-table spots to beautiful sit-down meals, I rounded up some of the best places to eat in my guide to Where to Eat in Prince Edward County. Be sure to check out Bloomfield, Wellington, and Picton, each one has its own unique charm and plenty of local gems to discover.

If you’re looking for a full weekend plan, my Girls’ Weekend in Prince Edward County itinerary includes a mix of wineries, coffee shops, shops, and outdoor spots—perfect if you want to experience a little bit of everything without overpacking your schedule.

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.
