Our granddaughter and her family moved here a month ago. We were visiting them from Winnipeg. The Inn is a beautiful combination of old world charm, vintage and historic decor with today's modern conveniences. We didn't have any meals there but we heard that the food is exceptional. The staff, from Barry at the front desk to Oxanna in housekeeping to the guys and Gail in the garden/maintenance/housekeeping and anything else they need her for, were exceptionally friendly and accommodating. We stayed in the Carriage house on the main floor. The room was very clean and the beds were comfortable. We toured the main house, which was lavish and amazing. Every room was unique and comfortable. Barry told us his wife did all the decorating in the rooms. Every room showcased her attention to detail without being cluttered. The location in town was perfect. The grounds/gardens were beautiful. The kitchen uses fresh herbs and vegetables in season from the garden. Gail was showing me some of the new herbs she found and was planting that the chef is excited to try, like Olive herb, or spicy oregano. The train was close behind the Inn but they aren't frequent, don't blow a horn and not through the night.

I would recommend calling or emailing the Inn when booking since what is book isn't always what is reserved. Barry was apologetic that we got 2 single beds. Bookings described the room as 2 double beds, a sitting area (which was a single rocking chair) with a fireplace. No fireplace, which we certainly didn't need but exemplifies the discrepancy in what is offered on the booking sights and what is available at the Inn. The window coverings, including a sky light are large blinds, which allows a lot of light in the morning. We're used to black out curtains. This is just a fact, not really a complaint.

The hotel is a lovely 19th century home with mostly period decor and furnishing. The owner and his staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent, as was the dinner in the beautiful dining room. Booking and pre-ordering dinner is requested of guests. Sackville is an interesting small town with a university. There are lovely trails around the extensive waterfowl reserve in easy walking distance from the hotel. I walked from the Via Rail station in less than 10 minutes. An excellent pause on my way from Halifax to Charlottetown.

I chose the one single room which had lots of character but was very small and up two flights of stairs. The private bathroom was across the landing. I would choose one of the beautiful larger rooms with an en suite next time.

A charming inn. The location was good for walking into town. ( Duckys pub....great craft beer selection) The property was safe and secure. We had already stopped in roadside motels on our trip back from Ontario and did not get value for money, or feel that our trailer full of belongs would still be there when we woke up in the morning... So that was a great feeling for us. We had a lovely wander round the inn the next morning. The dining room and sitting rooms were very impressive with how the history of this beautiful inn has been preserved. We stayed in the carriage house at the back of the property overlooking gardens. The big stuffed toy dog was a cute touch.....makes you smile. So if you want a break from boring "run of the mill motels" on your road trip and want to relax in a small town for the night....this is a lovely spot.

Can't think of anything I didn't like. It was a great stay.

What a great historic building and matched with period furniture and antiques. Ambience was great and good space available in addition to the room.

A bit quirky - requirements to pre-order food for dinner and breakfast and then not being able to get what you ordered. Needs to have tea and coffee facilities either in room of in a sitting area so reliant on staff to boil the kettle and bring to you.

Loved the location. So convenient for sappyfest and all other things we wanted to do in town. Absolutely loved the garden and being able to spend some down time out there reading and relaxing.

We had no idea if the restaurant was open or not and we’re not given any information about it when we checked in. Because we were staying in the carriage house we never went by either. That info (and breakfast included) would have been nice !

The Inn is beautiful and provides a rare and unique experience. Every room in this majestic mansion tells a fascinating story about its rich history, and the surrounding gardens are stunning! Our host was courteous and welcoming. It is located a few minutes' walk from the town's center.

Despite the fact that the beautiful Inn is a historic landmark, it needs a bit of maintenance improvements, as well as some interior upgrades. The room and corridor were decorated with artifacts such as the stuffed dolls and animals (we do appreciate the meaning of the nostalgic and historic items, but think that they are clogging the spaces and overall unnecessary). The same applies to some decorative yet not so practical furniture items in the room. The floor and bedside lamps in our room still use fluorescent light-bulbs (instead of energy efficient LED's) and some lights did not work at all. The bathroom door could not be closed entirely due to the old hardwood floor deformation.

Loved being in a heritage home. We stayed in the Carriage House on the main floor so it was easy to haul our suitcases in. The beds were comfortable and clean. It was air conditioned. I so enjoyed looking at all the items in the main house. The staff though short staffed did everything they could to help you out. We so enjoyed our meals there too. Easy access to highway.

We couldn’t stay longer

Nice location with lovely grounds with plenty of places to sit outside. I found the inn to be absolutely beautiful with its rich history and period furnishings and decorations. Very charming. Our room was clean and comfortable for the most part. Had dinner one evening in the restaurant. Food was a bit expensive but very good. The plantings/ trees and gardens were a treat to find and enjoy.

I'm an avid gardener, and the plastic flower planters threw me off that lined the porch upper edge and thought there were a touch to many outdoor statue decorations. There were a lot of dolls dotting the inn and a rather large stuffed dog on my bed. I know this is a bit trivial, but I found it overdone. There wasn't coffee offered "on the house," and that certainly would have been nice for me. Thankfully, I was able to purchase a cup with refills from the front desk. Stayed in roon #5, and another room in the buildings plumbing was malfunctioning and very loud when turned on. Woke my friend and I up a couple of times out of a sound sleep. All in all, beautiful inn and we enjoyed our stay.

Marshlands Inn still reflects its former glory. The dinner was excellent and the rooms contain a fascinating collection of old dolls and other decorations. The beds were comfortable. The grounds and kitchen garden are well maintained.

Service is a bit slow but very friendly. It is probably fair to say that the Inn is somewhat dated but that's part of it's charm. Some people would absolutely love it!

A vintage property that transports the guest back 200 years but with modern lights and plumbing. . University town ambiance. Teddy bears welcome you to room. Friendly staff. Quiet. Clean. Off street parking. Good location: walk to shops and services. A good value. Breakfast available at additional cost.

Our mattress was uneven and too soft: time for renewal.
