| Cardigan River Inn has received the prestigious five star rating from Canada Select. This stately 18-room mansion was built in 1919 by U.S. Senator James P. McNichol for his island bride, Margaret Donahoe of nearby Roseneath. The inn is one of the best known homes on the island. It is situated on a private, 26 acre knoll that borders the scenic Cardigan River and the Confederation Trail. The three-story mansion's striking architecture is a blend of French and English motifs topped by a ten-gabled roof that flares with daring geometries. Liberal use of native red sandstone in the first floor decor and three massive chimneys accentuate the island's natural beauty. We offer a choice of fireplaced suites or guestrooms each with ensuite whirlpool bath, cable TV/VCR, and telephone. Enjoy a full fireside breakfast in our dining room and choose from a six-item menu. Socialize in the great room, library, or sunroom. Outside, the grounds feature magnificent linden trees that are the largest on the island. Local brides from Cardigan Village often are photographed beneath them. Relax in a comfortable gazebo overlooking the river. The estate has been featured in local newspaper, book and magazine printings and on CBC television. We have two luxury suites and two guestrooms available. |
