Hotels in Souris: Inns and Motels You Can Book

Souris has no large hotel. Visitors choose between inns, bed and breakfasts, and seaside motels. Most close or slow down in winter, so check dates first. We list each property below with what two or more sources agree on.

The Library Inn at 15 Breakwater Street

The Library Inn stands at 15 Breakwater Street, Souris, PE C0A 2B0. The Canadian Register of Historic Places lists the same address for the Matthew House Inn. The register describes a well-preserved Queen Anne Revival house with double bay windows, wood shingles, and dormers on a large treed lot above Souris Harbour. Uriah Matthew built the house around 1885. The Matthew family kept the home until 1988.

A booking listing describes The Library Inn as a bed and breakfast with check-in after 3:00 PM and check-out before 11:00 AM. The listing names free Wi-Fi, free parking, private bathrooms, a shared lounge with a TV, a garden, and a sunroom terrace. Breakfast options include continental, American, and vegetarian choices.

The listing places the inn 0.3 kilometres from the town centre, near Souris Beach Provincial Park and the Souris Lighthouse. We could not confirm the current owner or phone number from an official site. We also could not confirm whether the two names belong to one business or to a rebrand. Search the address and confirm before you pay.
