Much like the imaginary Avonlea created by Maud in the Green Gable series, New London continues to nurture the creative spirits of both visitors and residents alike. Oiginally built as a farm house in the mid 1800's, Potter's House served as a private home and summer inn for many years until owners Stanley and Nina Brown retired, both being in their 90's. Renovated in 1995 by P.E.I. potter Daphne Large and her husband Ian Scott, the house retains the relaxed atmosphere of an Island summer house, but with modern conveniences as well. No longer operated as an inn, the house is furnished and is rented by the week to visitors. Situated on a one acre property overlooking rolling farmland and distant views to New London Bay, the house is located near the edge of the village of New London and is walking distance to five craft shops, a seafood restaurant, tea room, fishing charters, two churches, and a small convenience counter in the local service station.
Local beaches are a five minute drive away.
The Prince Edward Island National Park at Cavendish is a seven minute drive and includes golf, tennis, historic and nature tours, beaches, hiking and biking trails as well as the famous Green Gables house. As well the Cavendish area includes many family attractions. The three bedrooms in the house include one queen size, one double and one single beds. All linen and towels are provided as well as plates and dishes etc. The kitchen is equipped with an electric stove, fridge, microwave, toaster, and utensils.
