Nancy's Trip: Indulge + Inspire

Nancy and her husband Frank moved from Montreal to The County eight years ago to refurbish and open the 1850s farmhouse that is now The Wilfrid, a boutique Bed & Breakfast that delivers the luxury of detail oriented service. Nancy, also an accomplished artist, is a member of The Prince Edward County Arts Council, and is working on a portrait series of PEC residents that will have an exhibition in 2025.

What is your favourite part about running a Bed & Breakfast?

As a chef and designer duo, we've created a multi-sensory stay experience that focuses on creative cuisine and wellness, and we're constantly pushing the envelope on what a Bed & Breakfast can be. For example, instead of traditional breakfast fare, every morning our guests are treated to a 4-5 course brunch full of sustainably sourced ingredients and imaginative cuisine—probably one of the most memorable meals you'll ever have before noon!

What are your insider tips to help people have a great trip to The County?

The pace in The County is much slower and that's a good thing! Remember to take a breath, slow down and take it all in. There's no reason to rush or try to fill your days with bookings and activities - winter walks on the beach, people watching, and doing a lot of "nothing" is also really great when you're here. You can always come back and do more next time you visit!

Getting to experience Prince Edward County from the water is a great way to see the different shorelines and a really relaxing way to spend an afternoon. You can book a sailing experience with Happy Sailing and learn the ropes or rent a kayak from Cabin Fever Kayaks and set out exploring at your own pace.

Waves, ethereal sunsets, soft sweeping sand, drops of wine, reading by the waters. If you’ve come to Prince Edward County to relax and practice some self-care, you’ve come to the right place. Find your serenity here.
