Fodor's Expert Review Barachois Inn

Rustico, just below Brackley Beach, is one of the oldest communities on the Island—and this 1880 inn's Victorian elegance blends right in with the historic surroundings. Built for a local merchant, Gallant House (the original heritage home) has four rooms appointed with antiques and fine art, while the adjacent MacDonald House (a contemporary structure with period style) has a quartet of suites, each with a fireplace, kitchenette, and balcony or deck. The inn overlooks a quiet Victorian garden and the bucolic countryside around Rustico Bay. In addition to a hot breakfast, rates include passes to PEI National Park and Green Gables House National Historic Site.
