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’ll be honest, Peterborough wasn’t on my radar for a long time. It’s one of those places you drive past on your way to a cottage, always meaning to stop, never quite doing it. 🌿
Then I actually stopped.
And now I keep going back.
There’s something about this part of Ontario that feels like it hasn’t been packaged for tourists yet. A small city with a real downtown, surrounded by lakes and forests and history that goes back thousands of years.
Scroll through and I’ll show you exactly how I’d spend a first visit, from the first coffee of the morning to the sunset that completely blew me away!
Some of it will surprise you. Some of it will make you hungry. And at least one slide is going to make you say « wait, that exists in Ontario?! » 🙌
Save this before your next road trip north, you’re going to want it.
👇 Have you ever been to Peterborough? I’ll be back in that area in the Fall so tell me what I missed?

I’ve driven this loop more times than I can count and every single time I find something new to love about it.
It starts just outside Ottawa and winds through some of the most underrated corners of Eastern Ontario.
The thing about this road trip is that it doesn’t ask much of you. You don’t need to plan weeks in advance or drive for hours to feel like you’ve actually gotten away. You just need a long weekend, a full tank of gas, and a willingness to slow down.
I’ve been piecing this route together for years, adding stops, swapping others out, finding the spots that are worth the detour and the ones that aren’t. This is the version I keep coming back to. The one I send to friends when they ask where to go. The one that made me fall in love with Eastern Ontario all over again.
Every stop is in the reel. Save this and start planning.

Ottawa has this quiet superpower that most people overlook. Within two hours, you can be walking along a UNESCO canal, standing on a lookout over a lake, or eating the best pizza of your life on a patio beside a waterfall.
And yet somehow, most people spend their weekends doing the same thing in the city when all of this is sitting right outside their door.

I almost didn’t go to Kincardine. It kept coming up in conversations; someone would mention it in passing, or I’d see a photo of that lighthouse at golden hour and think “I should go there sometime.” And then I’d forget about it and plan something else instead.
I finally went last Summer. And I’ve been thinking about it ever since.
There’s something about this town that’s hard to explain. It’s not trying to be anything other than what it is, a small lakeside town with Scottish roots, a lighthouse that’s been standing since 1880, beaches that face west so every single evening turns into something worth stopping for, and a community that genuinely seems to love where it lives.
The full guide is in the reel : where to start your morning, which lighthouse to visit, where to eat, where to stay, and the one sunset experience that I genuinely was not prepared for.
Kincardine is about two and a half hours from Toronto and one hour from Kitchener, so save this for your summer planning. 🔖

Ontario has a short summer. Like, genuinely short. And every year I watch September arrive and think about all the things I meant to do and didn’t.
So this year I’m doing things differently. I made a list.
It has hikes that will make you question whether you’re still in Canada. A tradition that has been going on since 1996 that most Ontarians have never witnessed. A beach that books up so fast it’ll make your head spin. A helicopter ride that changes the way you see this province. And a few experiences that are so specific to Ontario that you could only find them here.
All of them are worth making time for before the leaves turn and you’re back in your winter coat wondering where summer went.
