Liked:It was a super classic home that was renovated, everything reminded me of the 60s and 70s, everything was clean, everywhere was clean, the host was respectful; we had a great breakfast with great hospitality.

Disliked:There was no elevator, so we had to take our luggage up old, high stairs, which was a bit difficult. There was no AC, but as the weather got cooler at night, the room temperature was OK. The other thing missing was the electric kettle, which I expected to be on the second floor (where our room was), as I had to come down to the ground floor three times just for boiled water!

A Great, cozy find!

Liked:The location was ok. About a mile to the town and about .5 miles to the lake. My wife and I like to walk a lot and that we did so no issue. The owners were very nice and the place was very clean and unique in decorating circa 1900,s look. Unfortunately we missed one breakfast but the one we had was superb with different fresh breads and croissants, fresh fruit,cheeses and OJ to start off with unique teas and coffees. . This was followed by banana bread French toast topped off with maple syrup. A big wow. We ate with a nice couple from Scotland. Higly recommended. Thank you!

Lovely B&B with charming, detail-oriented hosts.

Liked:The hosts pay great detail to make this an excellent B&B. The breakfast was delicious and was different each morning. The house is beautifully decorated with interesting antiques. And the bedroom and bathroom were a good size, with a cozy common sitting area. Location is very central to wineries in the area and a short drive to downtown Niagara-on-the-Lake.

Disliked:Nothing.
