Appreciate the architecture

We popped in here while in town on a tour and just happened to arrive on a day with free admission. Also got lucky as they were letting people go to the 4th floor which is usually not open. We didn't have a tour guide...More

Beautiful house with a gorgeous view!

This house was well worth the visit for its $5 admission fee! Gorgeously maintained interiors, a beautiful Victorian garden facing the water, and plenty of history to keep you intrigued. A gem!

Definitely worth a visit when in Charlottetown

Wonderfully maintained historic home that allows you to get a feel of the opulence available at the time when ship building was huge on PEI. Ensure you get a guide as it will make the experience much more worthwhile. You also need to do 2...More

Unique Home

Beaconsfield is a unique home in Charlottetown. While the tour is less than an hour, the price of $5 per person is reasonable, and the guides are quite good.

Well worth the visit

My wife and I visited this property while in Charlottetown recently. Very interesting property. It has been painstakingly restored to its late 1880’s heritage. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable as he provided a very detailed description of its history and its early inhabitants. Make sure...More
