Guest Reviews

• Shirley (9/5): - Gloria and Henry were wonderful hosts. We enjoyed their company. Breakfast was delicious. Location is right by old town part of queen street, so close to bars and restaurants.
• Guest (8/5): Perfectly reasonable for a single night stay if you have to attend an event in town. - A quiet little townhouse right in the center of Niagara-on-the-lake. Our hosts were very accommodating, have cute house pets and prepared us a full, well-made breakfast. The extra sofa bed was stiff, and there was an unpleasant odor in the guest parlor on the first floor that cleared up once in the room. Hopefully changing the carpets will correct the latter.
• Margaret (4/5): Very disappointing and funky place - The owners are very nice. The location is great. The breakfast was delicious. The house smells of pee. there is animal hair on the carpets. There is a lot of dust on the stuff in the house. The air is stuffy and smelly. Everything in the house is worn and old. Exterior of the house does not look like the pictures. The house needs a professional cleaning which it has not had in a long time. It needs air, fresheners and air purifiers and need some carpet replaced. It's funky.
• Zwirecki (1/5): Overwhelmed with cat urine smell, dirt, and dust caused us to leave - The location and parking were great. Immediately upon entry my daughter and I were greeted with a pungent cat urine smell. The home was also dark and dirty. We did not complain hoping our room accommodations were better. Unfortunately, they were not. Our room, the King bed room, was filthy. The car odor and dust were overwhelming. It looked like there were dead bugs behind the bed. A doily on an accent chair was soiled with a yellow cat urine stain. We opened the windows to see if if would help. It didn’t. Fearing our health we made the decision to pack up and look for another place to stay. I left the key under the door mat and will be filing a formal complaint. There is no way this place has been inspected. Totally disgusting and unsanitary. Anyone with the slightest sensitivity to animals (cats especially) should stay away. We are very disappointed.
• Huntington (5/5): - Location B&B and grounds not maintained. Did not meet my expectations. Would not book again.
• Guest (10/5): Wed stay there again if we went back!!!. - Close to downtown, super hosts, great breakfast. Smelled a little like cats.
• Scott (9/5): - Great hosts and great location. The breakfast was both delicious and filling. There was a bit of dust on the floor under the curtains in our room.
• Bonny (10/5): We hope to return - The breakfast was great and the home was very comfortable. Our hosts were amazing. The location was perfect.
• Therese (9/5): Great location that is close to everything and very welcoming hosts. - The hosts were wonderful - very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was tasty and plentiful. The location of the B&B is close to both the waterfront and the main street with shops and restaurants. There was also space in the driveway, so we were able to park off-street.
• Geraldine (10/5): Brilliant - Breakfast was excellent. Fresh bread & scones every morning & also a cooked breakfast. Carol & Henry are excellent hosts and so friendly & interesting. We had a wonderful time. Everything was great.
• Guest (9/5): Gloria and Henry were gracious and attentive. You can tell they enjoy people. - Location was excellent. 👍🏼 Breakfast was superb!! Made to order 👏🏼 Would take out that rug throughout … owners may have become nose blind with the trapped smells.
• Jane (9/5): We had a very enjoyable time here! - The hosts, Gloria and Henry, were a hoot. Very friendly and helpful, with a ton of knowledge about the area. The breakfasts were excellent, both the creative presentation and the taste. We were given many options and didn’t have to eat again until supper. The location was excellent, blocks from the main drag. It was an older building which could use some freshening up.
• Di (10/5): Gloria and Henry are wonderful hosts! I had great time and will definitely come back :-) - Convenient location, friendly hosts and delicious breakfast
• David (10/5): Kind of place you would like to return to - Excellent host. Large room with comfortable bed. Great location All good
• David (4/5): Missing the Bed in B&B - Owners were very friendly and accommodating. The location was great, only a block away from everything! The place definitely has an “interesting history”. Didn’t see any silent watchers (Ghosts) but I didn’t bring my quantum anomaly scanner! 😅. Breakfast was great! Multiple cats on sight and one dog. I’m allergic to cats but was ok. You can definitely smell the cats as you walked into the house unfortunately! Dog was very friendly. The house interior could use a serious cleaning. The mattresses were way over due to be replaced. Air conditioner was loud like in a bad hotel room.
• David (10/5): Great location, yummy food and pleasant hosts - Great location to Main Street and restaurants, theatres, shops We slept in a large bed made from two twins, kind of lumpy in the middle but understandable To accommodate all needs.
• Watson (9/5): -
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional - The location is wonderful! Walking distance to everything ! Hosts were delightful .? Accompanied my request for early breakfast!
• Katherine (10/5): Wonderful hosts in the perfect setting close to all that Niagara on the lake offers! - Perfect location close to everything, great hosts, fun and interesting, lovely breakfast, yummy eggs and crisp bacon, excellent sourdough rye toast and local jam, delicious fresh French pressed coffee and orange juice. Nice room and private bath, cute porch, had a fridge which we needed. Pretty gardens. Loved the old family portraits too! Nothing. It was just right! Excellent choice !

We were able to walk many places. Great to have a parking space. Room was large and bright. Breakfast was plentiful and yummy. I think our room could have been a little cleaner.
• Sean (1/5): Could not stay there. - Nothing unfortunately Booked for partner and her mother. They had to leave as it smelled of cat odor and musty. Left.politely and booked a room at the Prince of Wales. Emailed the hosts to.ask for a refund and no response. Did so so as not to leave a bad review.
• Lawrence (10/5): Exceptional - Henry and Gloria were wonderful homeowner/hosts. They made my wife and me feel welcome upon arrival. Their warmth, kindness, wit and sincere interest in us continued throughout our stay. Their homemade breakfast that they served us was delicious. Our room was spacious and met all our needs. The experience even surpassed our expectations, that were high from the online reviews.

• Mccandlish (9/5): Very relaxing - Lovely older home. Owners are very accommodating and friendly. Very laid back atmosphere. Two minute walk to Queen St which is the main street. At the other end is the river and gazebo, only a 3 or 4 minute walk. A dog and cat are on the property and are friendly. A full breakfast is served.
• Gannie (10/5): Charming B&B in a wonderful location - Charming B&B on a quiet street, but only a block from Queen Street. Close to restaurants, theatres, parks, and the lake. Friendly, welcoming hosts. Delicious breakfast. Easy on-site parking. The bed was a little hard for my taste.
• Melody (10/5): Hospitality at its finest - Perfect location! The breakfast was outstanding homemade scones made by Henry himself were amazing. I didn’t need to eat until dinner.

• Lori (9/5): Superb - Breakfast was delicious, I think an older website had indicated different choices, so maybe just an update is needed. Glora and Henry were so attentative and lovely hosts. Location was the best!
• Jordanna (10/5): We were very happy with our stay. The location is excellent, the hosts are lovely. We will be back! - The breakfast was delicious, generous portions. Fantastic location.
• Hart (8/5): a small but lovely B and B in a terrific location - the location of the B and B was excellent---a short walk from the two Shaw Festival main theatres and a couple of blocks from the main street. we had a very large, comfortable room--and a modern updated washroom. breakfast was excellent and ample, with the bonus of home made scones at breakfast the air conditioner cycled off and on a lot--it was very hot during our stay---this could adversely impact light sleepers

• Deb (9/5): would let friends know that it was very nice and friendly - Breakfast was cooked individually for us and was very good. Owners were very friendly and helpful, but let you do your thing. Gave suggestions for dinning and shopping that were very good. Wifi and TV was great. Stairs were a little steep and narrow for us with luggage, but we are in our mid 70's and knew that would be a problem. Bannister was solid and that was helpful.

• David (9/5): Amazing - the loveliest hosts you could wish to have. - The hosts are amazing, very warm, welcoming and friendly. The location is perfect, just around the corner from the main street but further enough away to be very quite. Breakfast is excellent. Not so much I didn't like, but this is a period property, so don't expect contemporary accommodation with modern fixtures and fittings. All the better for it in my opinion.
• Lance (10/5): Exceptional - quite honestly I couldn't have asked for a better experience. We were impressed with our accommodations and the owners were very friendly and the breakfast was exceptional.
