Lovely little place with real character.. We visited when the island was ravaged by Storm Fiona: everything was as normal other than some damaged trees and the iconic sign smashed. It is an old property so some creaky doors and uneven surfaces have to be taken positively as part of the character. Rooms re well equipped and you could spend weeks reading all the books! Breakfast is eclectic as other reviews have mentioned but if you say the night before what you want (I did) your hosts will try to oblige (they did with me). Just a few minutes walk from the city centre and the water's boardwalk.

Amazing host, beautiful period home with gorgeous old furnishings. Jason upgraded our room to one of the suites, was really great. The breakfast that is included in the price of room stay was amazing, the guesthouse is conveniently close to the downtown area and restaurants. We will be back

Located pretty close to the town centre this is a lovely place run by Jason and his team. It is full of character, rooms are spacious and clean. Breakfasts are great. We loved Charlottetown . This is definitely somewhere we would have liked to stay longer.

My wife and I stayed two nights in the Quarterdeck, the nicest room at the Shipwright Inn. Everything about our room was perfectly fine. The room was spacious and very generously appointed with amenities, including a very nice bathroom and a separate whirlpool tub (which we did not use.) The inn is within easy walking distance of downtown and only two blocks away from the Slaymaker & Nichols Gastro House for a dinner that should not be missed. Our first caveat is the lack of communication. I made a reservation (which was confirmed) in late April for our stay in late September. On the two days prior to our arrival, I called the inn 5 times, only to reach a voicemail box that would not accept messages. I also sent an email without a reply. This was very unsettling, since we were coming in to Charlottetown during an event where just about every room in the city was fully booked for the weekend. With the combination of not answering the telephone and no recent social media posts or reviews, we were understandably worried that the inn may have closed and that we would have no place to stay. As a precaution, we booked (and had to pay for) stays at two separate downtown hotels (the first for one night, and the other for the second night). When we arrived at the Shipwright Inn, we did indeed find that it was open and that the owners were anticipating our arrival, but there was no valid excuse for the lack of communication. The second caveat is that the breakfast menu (which is the only meal offered) can be a bit unpredictable and unconventional from what one would expect at a fine country inn. There are options, and the owners seemed to respond to our feedback and constructive criticism, but it is true that there was a grilled cheese sandwich (made with Wonder Bread) on the menu for breakfast and that the fruit cup was 75% apple slices. If you would like a milk substitute or bread baked in-house or at a local bakery, you will be disappointed. Another reviewer was critical of a lunchtime dining experience; however, it should be noted that the inn only serves breakfast, at least at this time. It is fair to say that there are some communications challenges and cultural differences between the owners/staff and their guests, such as the apparent lack of familiarity with the typical breakfast expectations of American and Canadian guests. Nonetheless, all in all, we were pleased with our stay.…

The inn was decorated nicely, but the room was a bit dirtier than expected. It is close to downtown, waterfront and Victoria park for a beautiful sunset. The breakfast we were looking forward to was disappointing. It lacked flavor and interest. A plain grilled cheese with greens and 2 sausages was not expected, nor what fit my interests for a main breakfast. There was a fruit cup, yogurt and mini muffin to go along. Not a 4-course breakfast. The staff was very nice, but would not expect much for the breakfast.

Went for lunch with my Mother and Father, we had been quite excited about going there for lunch as we'd heard good reviews, however, after waiting over an hour to get our food, my lasagne was the driest that I've ever had, there was no juice in it whatsoever, it had been cooked that much it was burnt in areas too, it was the worst lasagne ever. My Mum's curry was so thin it resembled soup and her naan bread was like a rock it was that hard. My Dad had a lovely piece of fish and he was happy, but will I be returning no that's a definite.

Booked a one night stay for September 14th on August 10th through the inn’s web site and received my confirmation. Arrived at the inn at 3:50pm to check in and found no one there and one car parked in the back corner of the lot. The grounds were overgrown and unkept and all exterior doors to the building were locked. Two doors identified with a sign as 1 @ 2 both had the same sign which provided instructions for new arrivals. Instructions directed you to press the call button on the call box and or use the phone hanging on the wall and press “0” for assistance. Both these were fine several times over several minutes with no response. Also listed was a local phone number to call in case of an emergency. That number was out if service. I call the local number listed on the inn’s web site and received a voice mail message in a females voice. It wasn’t possible to leave a message as the mail box would not accept messages. I then called the toll free number listed on the Inn’s web site. The call wouldn’t go through and all I could hear was static. I knocked on all the doors several times with receiving no answer. I then emailed the inn explaining that I was there to check in and asked for someone to respond ASAP to provide assistance. 16 hours later, I have yet to receive a reply. I was fortunate to find other accommodations for the night. Be very cautious about booking online and expecting to stay here even though you have received confirmation. If it was possible, I would have rated it as a “0”. I would never recommend the Shipwright to anyone.…

A wonderful stay. Far exceeded our expectations. From the friendliness to the cleanliness. Wonderful staff. We stayed in the Officers Wardroom and loved it. Close to harbour. Perfect for walking to any number of restaurants and shops. Jason even packed us a breakfast to go because we had to leave early on our last day!

We stay in a lot of B&Bs and small inns. This one had some of the largest rooms we have experienced with large baths also. The location is very convenient also. The only negative would be the breakfasts which were quirky to say the least. One morning it was called a breakfast bowl.. Lots of fruit and a poached egg served over quinoa. we like quinoa in soups etc but this was a little weird.

We stayed at the Shipwright Inn for the first half of our PEI trip, and it was such a good choice. Our room was clean and comfortable. We loved having a fridge and coffeemaker in the room. The food, service, and our entire experience were wonderful. Jason and his staff have created a restful, beautiful place from which to enjoy Charlottetown and the surrounding area.
