On top of having 14 gorgeous hotel suites, they also have a full restaurant that you can reserve a table at without being a guest. They also have a gorgeous wine cellar full of amazing local Prince Edward County wines to choose from.

Compass Rose Suites
Compass Rose Suites is one of my favourite wedding venues in Prince Edward County, but it’s also an amazing accommodation option (outside of weddings). Located in Milford, their farmhouse has three unique suites that sleep up to 12 people total. It is gorgeous inside and out, with a fresh garden if you’re visiting in the summertime. There is some amazing outdoor areas such as patios, and in the Zephyr sweet there is a sweet loft area too!
At one of the weddings I’ve photographed there, they had glamping tents set up for their wedding party and friends – I cannot recommend this option enough if it is something the team at Compass Rose Suites can arrange for you!
I cannot recommend Compass Rose Suites enough for both a wedding and accommodations.
