We really liked the property. It was a very beautiful setting. I did not like the spiders on the ceiling inside the entryway. I have a fear of spiders. However, they were no where else in the property that I saw and really did not affect our stay as we were only there one night.

The check in was quick and thorough, Donna was very down to earth and pleasant . She runs a beautiful Old Victorian house that is so clean and comfortable. It’s extremely welcoming from the first step you take inside the foyer. Breakfast was delicious and the conversation around the table with the other guests and Donna was great! It’s really a small world when you get chatting. We haven’t been BnB guests in the past, but this trip to the east coast has changed our way of thinking.

Breakfast was home made and served with elegance. Our hostess, Donna, was wonderful and very knowledgeable of places to visit. Bed was comfortable, internet access was secure and we had our own transportation but most of the downtown is walkable if you are able. We would certainly recommend the Dawson House as a go to place to stay.

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!

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.

Donna was a superb hostess, and treated her guest like royalty. She provided us with a sense of calming energy during our stay. The entire property was exquisitely maintained, and we had the good fortune of sharing breakfast with two ladies from the Boston area, where conversation and laughs were encouraged. We cannot praise this B&B highly enough, as we did not want to leave. We will be back again - no question.
