The House
Comfort
is the norm at Heart of the Island. In addition to sitting areas in your own room, there are several areas in the house where guests are welcome to enjoy a moment of solitude. For your comfort and good health, Heart of the Island is completely smoke free. There is a good selection of movies, books, magazines and board games for your enjoyment. Whenever possible, laundry is dried using my "solar dryer" - the clothesline! And Heart of the Island strives to be as green as possible, using only non-toxic cleaners, energy saving strategies such as 6 litre toilets, and using locally grown, organic produce whenever possible.
Convenience
also means I will provide (at an additional charge) picnic lunches for your day trips. Dinners are available by request or I am happy to make reservations on your behalf at one of our fine island restaurants.
Heart of the Island is only 2.5 km from Confederation Trail in Hunter River, along the popular route 13 to New Glasgow Lobster Dinner, the Preserve Company and The Olde Glasgow Mill Restaurant. As part of the Cyclists Welcome Program, our location makes it easy for cyclists to enjoy an overnight stay. You will find maps, trail guides, bicycle repair tools, secure storage, bicycle pump and first aid kit on site. Laundry service is available for a small fee.
Location is not the only convenience here. Every room has wireless high speed internet. There is a guest phone on the landing outside your bedroom.
Great Food
…aaah yes the food. On an island that boasts numerous four and five star restaurants, fabulous fresh seafood and the world reknowned Culinary Institute, it's tough competition! But breakfasts are special here at Heart of the Island.
Breakfast is complete and satisfying.You'll awaken to the aroma of freshly ground, organic, fair trade coffee and fresh baking, You may come down to the breakfast room for coffee and a muffin, take it into the sitting room to watch the morning headlines, or sit on the deck and savour the view. (If like me you are an early riser, you may even enjoy the sunrise from the deck!)
Your full breakfast includes fresh fruit, juice, a hot breakfast entree, homefries made with PEI potatoes and all the tea or coffee you'd like.
Vegetarian (including vegan) and special diet breakfasts are available, but please request them when you book your room.
