A huge congratulations to my amazing Mother in law Carolyn McKillop .

We are so proud to celebrate her incredible achievement as the recipient of the City of Summerside’s Publication of the Year award for her outstanding work on “Tyne Valley, The People, Their History.” 📚✨ Your dedication, passion, and hard work as a researcher has truly made a difference in preserving the rich history of the Tyne Valley community.

Thank you for inspiring us all with your commitment to storytelling and your love for history.

Tyne Valley: The People, Their History is a collaboration by author Gary MacDougall and researcher Carolyn McKillop, who happens to be my wonderful mother-in-law.

This book offers an in-depth social history of Tyne Valley, exploring its vibrant past. It covers nearly every facet of community life, from early education and the railroad era to cheese factories, the silver fox craze, the devastating fire of 1960, the establishment of the first community rink, and the reconstruction of the community sports arena after the tragic fire in 2019.

Richly illustrated with photographs, artwork, and original pieces by PEI artist Maurice Bernard, this book is a treasure trove of local history.

✨ Faut pas grand chose pour me divertir. Un amas de pierres (semblable à un kairn), si en plus c’est rouge parce que c’est il y a une forte teneur en fer (comme la rouille), ça vous donne une Laura heureuse qui photographie tout.

✨ Promis, d’ici quelques jours on passe aux photos d’automne sur ce feed, parce que a ce rythme, il neigera déjà quand je vais m’y mettre.

Apologies for the long post but we have a big announcement.

The day has come where we say farewell to The Farmhouse. What a journey it’s been.
We loved the thrill of this project, and learnt so much along the way. We jokingly blamed HGTV for our naive views, because they made everything look far too easy, but it was fun to roll up our sleeves and get stuck into it. And of course we left the skilled labour to the professionals, Shawn and Scotty did magnificent job.

We have had the pleasure of hosting guests, living in the house and having friends and family stay too. We have made so many memories and for that we will forever be grateful that we took on this project.

Thank you to those that have helped us along the way. We have been SOOO lucky to have had SOOO much support from family and friends. As many of you know we now live overseas which has made it rather challenging to coordinate things from so far away. The true nature of islanders is to step in and help as much as they can and we felt every bit of this support along our journey.

I can’t list everyone who helped, but I can’t leave without a shout out to a few people who went over and above for us:
Ian’s parents (Carolyn & Duncan), Darcy Gallant, Shawn Ellis, Scott Ellis, Mike MacKendric, Amanda Biggar and Carolyn Biggar. Thank you!

Thank you to everyone in the community that came on the journey (quite literally). I was so surprised how many people came to watch the house be moved and from then on followed the project sharing their links to the house.

And lastly and most importantly, to the new owners. We wish you every happiness in your new home. To hear how excited you are about the house fills our hearts.

About Us

We are a company that focuses on providing our guests with accommodation that makes their holiday one that they will always remember. Our love of the local land, the people, and all that the island has to offer makes us proud to roll out the welcome mat and invite you to consider Penguin & Bear for your next stay on Prince Edward Island.

How Penguin & Bear came to be

Ian (Penguin) and Clare (Bear) met in Sydney, Australia in 2014.

Together, we share a love of travel, meeting new people, and exploring the road less travelled. Prior to Clare moving to Sydney, we spent many weekends meeting up in different parts of Australia - preferring to stay at B&Bs that offered a local and personalized touch of the area.
