Absolutely stunning property. Amber was so accommodating and helpful the whole stay. They make you feel right at home. They also make an AMAZING breakfast! We will definitely be staying here again for our next trip out to PEI. Thanks Amber!

We spent a night at The Cliffside Inn and had a pleasant experience. The place was nice and clean, though the room and bathroom could use a bit of renovation—but it didn’t really bother us. Breakfast was included, and they also provided a beach chair and towel, which was a great touch. One helpful detail we appreciated was that the entrance displayed the names of nearby restaurants, which made it easy to plan where to eat. The owners were very respectful and friendly, making us feel welcome throughout our stay. Overall, it was a comfortable visit, and I would definitely come back.

I wanted to find something special for our trip to PEI. The Cliffside Inn is a true Gem. It’s soo beautiful here. The room, the views, the waves, the marine life casually swimming by. It’s soo quiet and peaceful here. It was more that what I expected. Our room (The Cabin Suit) was soo pretty, well decorated and very clean…the bed was soo comfortable and I wanted to bring that mattress home (haha). The main house was stunning. It’s well decorated and I’m a huge fan of big wooded beams. The breakfast was clean and simple with many options. Amber and Jay were lovely hosts and more than happy to give you travel tips. They suggested “The Wheelhouse” for supper and it was “out of this world” good! There is a super private beach just a couple minutes down the road…lovely. If I could give more stars I would. This B&B is truly amazing Thank you soo much Amber and Jay

Great location with amazing waterfront views. Jamie and Amber were very accommodating hosts and they served the best hot breakfast we've had in all of PEI! I highly recommend the Cliffside Inn, especially if you're travelling by the Northumberland ferry. The Inn is less than a 10 minute drive from the ferry port. We were lucky enough to see from the deck just outside our room seals swimming near the shoreline. A wonderful experience!

My husband and I stayed at the cliffside inn for five nights this week for our first trip to PEI, we truly cannot say enough good things about this lovely inn and the owners- Amber and Jay. We stayed in the cabin suite and it was perfect. The location of the inn is impeccable, ocean views right out your window, quiet, peaceful (photos included of the porch views) and super convenient to the ferry. The suite was incredibly clean, spacious and cozy, and we loved sitting on the private porch to watch the sun set throughout the week. Breakfast was delicious- lots of options and great to have everyday. Amber and Jay are great hosts- they checked in on us throughout the week, gave us amazing recommendations for food and sites on the island that we took them up on and loved and were so welcoming. We keep saying as we travel home how staying at the Cliffside was an integral part to an amazing week and trip we had here on the island. Can’t recommend them enough and I hope to stay here again in the future when we can get back to PEI!

We stayed for a week while Amber and Jay made us feel like family friends! Their hospitality was amazing, advice for places to visit or eat was spot on, and cozy accommodations felt like home…One night we got back late from our wandering around the island and didn’t plan well. We couldn’t find an open restaurant. They spontaneously put together a delicious dinner for us and saved the day!

A hidden gem! Cliffside Inn is the perfect spot to recharge and take in the beauty of PEI! An incredibly gorgeous spot with wonderful, welcoming hosts, beautiful rooms and the best breakfast to start the day! We stopped for one night on a bicycle tour with our 2 kids and we all wished we could have stayed for longer. Will definitely be back! Thank you for your hospitality, Jay and Amber!

What i can say? This was our first time visiting PEI and we were blown away! We came to Price Edward Island for our 25th wedding anniversary and we found the great gem called Cliffside Inn. Jay and Amber the Owners/Hosts were so welcoming they made us feel at home, like family and friends. You couldn't ask for better people, thank you to you both Jay & Amber and Michael "Red Dragon" for such an amazing stay. They helped suggest local points and places to visit during our stay which was extremely helpful. PEI cuisine is awesome! The breakfast every morning was top notch, i usually don't eat breakfast but now i do. Thx J&A. The area and the views were spectacular beyond belief...... WOW, the fire at night was beautiful and conversing with the other guests from everywhere was the icing on the cake. I had such a great time and stay I did not want to leave the Cliffside Inn let alone PEI. Myself and my beautiful my wife of 25 yrs totally fell in Love!!! I wish there was more then 5 stars for reviews. Thank you so much Jay and Amber, we'll be back.

We stayed in the cabin suite for 2 nights and wish we could have stayed longer! The view was incredible from the cliff. Main building is uniquely layed out with a rustic charm. The breakfast was delicious. Jay and Amber were excellent hosts and gave us many recommendations for nearby places to eat and to see some nearby hidden gems. The bonfire was a lot of fun!

Wonderful place to stay after long day at the beach with my family. Robert was a gracious host, very accommodating. Love the ambiance at this gem on the ocean. Beautiful rooms with comfortable bedding and fluffy bath towels. We also spotted a seal in the ocean as we took in the view on the balcony in the morning. Robert cooked us french toast with a delicious homemade syrup and fresh blueberries for breakfast too. Very close to the ferry to Nova Scotia. Highly recommend a stay at The Cliffside Inn.
