Great grandfather Shaw opened an inn on the family's pioneer farm in 1860. He wanted to provide a relaxing country lodging for visitors to this fair isle. Four generations later, the Shaw family continues the tradition. Our history

A wide variety of comforts await you at Shaw's Hotel. Our three-story main lodge has 14 rooms and small suites. The original farmhouse is now a suite with a large sitting room, a fireplace and antique furnishings. Twenty-five charming cottages surround the inn, some with one bedroom, some with as many as four bedrooms. Many cottages feature whirlpool spa or hot tub, fireplace, full kitchen, and cable T.V. High Speed internet is available. They are ideal for those who prefer high quality accommodations. These cottages are fully winterized and are available year round. Our cottages are very popular with couples or families who prefer to lodge together during their vacation.

There are many things to see and do for both the young and old while at Shaw's. The beach is just a five-minute walk through a shady lane. You can also cycle, or canoe or kayak on the bay. There are eight 18-hole championship golf courses within a half an hour drive. Tennis is nearby, as well as deep-sea fishing, tuna fishing and harness racing. There are waterslides, go-cart tracks, wildlife and amusement parks for the children. The hotel provides a large safe playground and many playmates. Three evenings a week, we provide a children's entertainment program, allowing parents to have dinner while the kids have their own fun.


Two of the Island's main attractions are the Charlottetown Summer Festival and "Anne of Green Gables". We can make your theatre arrangements for you.
