Nicklin House

Clean and quiet!

Dominique and Paul are great hosts, as one would expect from people with years of experience in the hospitality industry. Staying with them is reminiscent of visiting a distant relative. They are attentive, polite and helpful without being intrusive. Guests will appreciate the small things, such as the deluxe soap, abundant towels, complimentary bottled water, well decorated rooms and pride that their century home exudes. And, to top it off, they have a select menu of thoughtfully prepared food available. I was quite pleased with the Portuguese-style breakfast and fantastic espresso provided for a reasonable sum. Leamington also offers an atmospheric downtown (I did visit on a Friday night) as well as a beach and waterfront park well worth exploring. Whether you are passing through or using it as a base to explore the region, this is an excellent choice.

The house was cute and easy to access. Simple self check in. Our only complaint was that the room doors had vintage key locks. Well our key stopped working and we were locked INSIDE our room for over a half hour. Tried calling the host but they didn’t answer. It was 11:30pm. Thankfully after yelling for help another guest heard and unlocked our door with their key! So all guest can access each others room.

I am a birder and it has been years since I have stayed at a Bed and Breakfast; if you’re up early and out until late, you miss the amenities… But I enjoyed my first night so much that I booked another night on my return trip back to the Toronto Airport when they had a cancellation. Pricing is very reasonable, too. Dominique and Paul are top-notch, gracious hosts and awesome Canadians that did many small things to enhance my travels. They offered to ready my room earlier when I was getting off a red-eye flight. I enjoyed Dutch pancakes and fresh fruit (and the much-needed coffee!). And I tried my first Portuguese beer! The rooms are cozy and they offer amenities, like slippers to walk around in (shoes and socks get sandy at Point Pelee) and a much-appreciated tissue pack. The rooms are very comfortable and there are silk sheets on the bed! They also contribute to support the community with a community pantry outside to support migrant workers, some of whom I met and are very nice people. Best wishes to Dominique in her new business adventures!

wonderful character and lovely welcoming greeting by owner even though we were quite late with our arrival

I like older homes

The hosts were incredibly nice and accommodating. The place was very clean. We had everything we need. The charcuterie board was delicious as well. A nice touch to our trip. Highly recommended!

The breakfast was delicious!

We enjoyed our stay at Nicklin House, much more interesting than booking into a chain hotel. The hosts were welcoming, the attention to details in each of our rooms was impressive. Our stay there added fond memories to our first visit to Pelee. Thank you!

The hosts went out of their way to show all the features of the home. Although downtown, Leamington is pretty town
