Guest Reviews
- Verified traveler (10/5): Very Accommodating - The rooms in our suite were lovely and the beds were comfortable. Our hosts showed us how to get to the theater as well as the building where breakfast was. We drove to both, but they were walking distance. I wasn't sure if we would be able to get breakfast because we had to leave relatively early, but even though it was made to order, they were quick in getting it to us. They were even kind enough to let us start a little early (I had emailed them before telling them we had to be on the road before 8:20), which I appreciated. The breakfast was very good and I made it to my next destination on time.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - What a lovely b&b with lovely hosts, spacious 2 bedroom suite with pretty furnishings and prints, spotless updated bathroom, great comfy beds, and in a great location! Perfect for our Stratford visit!!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The history and items in the house.owners are welcoming. Food is healthy and delicious. Tomatoes come from the garden!
- CAF (8/5): - We rented a two-bedroom suite at the Dufton House, a second property for those who run the Stone Maiden Inn. It was clean and fine. The house is located on a nice street about 1.5km from the Festival Theatre. The beds were comfortable and the shower was excellent. The suite was very clean and quiet. It wasn't clear to us on booking that we were staying at the Dufton House rather than the Stone Maiden so would suggest clarifying. The rooms are not overly large and the style of decor is eclectic with a lot of antique furniture, much of it more for show than comfort or utility - not really my taste but quite traditional for a bed and breakfast.
- nancy (10/5): - Beautiful property large room delicious breakfast--offsite
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Overall poor Service terrible Should not be recommended
- Verified traveler (8/5): - We love old historic houses. This one has been carefully restored.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The room was very clean and well laid out. The bed was very comfortable. The neighborhood was very quiet. Parking on the street right in front of the building was very convenient. The price was very reasonable. The location was close to everything. No complaints.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Fantastic breakfast Beautiful room
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I liked everything. Very helpful owners, good food, quiet neighborhood.
- David (8/5): - Dufton House is a charming older building a few blocks north of the river and downtown. Our suite, which included bedroom, bathroom, and small kitchenette, was elegantly appointed and well maintained. It was a charming place to stay for a long weekend, and Johanne and Tim were gracious hosts. The daily gourmet breakfast was served at a separate, equally delightful property about a ten-minute walk away. My only suggestion would be that coffee (in addition to tea bags) be provided for the Keurig coffee maker in the kitchenette.
- Joanne (10/5): Fantastic Place to Stay! - This was a fantastic place to stay. It was close to town, and quiet and comfortable. We had a king bed in one room and a queen in the other and a sunroom with a garden view.....it was wonderful. Oh, and the BEST shower ever! Nice full stream of water in what looked like a fairly newly rennovated glassed in shower.....fantastic....loved it......I would definitely stay there again!
- Craig (10/5): - We were very pleased with our experience, easy walk to theatres and downtown. Tim helped us get a last minute dinner reservation at Bijou which is a great little restaurant and was happy to extend our checkout time as it was Sunday. Lovely breakfast but you do have to go to their main building about 10 minute walk or you can drive and they have ample parking.
- Barbara (10/5): - cosy Coach House, very comfortable bed! Wonderful breakfast served at the sister property Stone Maiden Inn a short distance away
- Jennifer (8/5): - Great location, hosts were very friendly, beds were comfortable
- Jane (2/5): not so good - i had stayed at the sister property (Stone Maiden Inn) and enjoyed it, but was disappointed this time. Although they promise breakfast, it is not on the premises. Walk 900 metres (11 minutes) to get there. As i was with a friend who couldn't walk, they brought it to us: cold, unappetizing, no choices. Public rooms at the other property are fine; at this one there is a cramped porch with stained carpet and tiny frig. Public areas are outside, and so not good at night or in rainy/cold weather. Moreover, they promise daily housekeeping and my bed was not made the second day. Old towels left in the bathroom. The sliding door came off the bathroom the first time i used it (and stayed off for the day). The wifi was not reliable. When I provided feedback, they were angry, not helpful. It's expensive for what it is (no elevator, walk up steep stairs and around two corners, parking on the street, a bedspread not a duvet). I'll look for somewhere better next time.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Charming Bed and breakfast near Stratford theatres - A beautiful historic brick house surrounded by gardens in a residential neighbourhood within easy walking distance of the Stratford theatres and restaurants. The room was, clean clean, private and quiet. Free street parking. Free Wifi. Care was taken to appoint the room with interesting personal artifacts and art work. There is a mature garden, slightly over run, appointed with chairs and tables. Note there are stairs. I would definitely go there again.
- steph (10/5): Best Stratford breakfast - Breakfast 100% homemade and local in air conditioned comfort and elegant historic house.
- Dwight (10/5): Comfortable Room! - Very nice property and accommodating hosts! It’s also within walking distance to town and theaters.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Great breakfast. Nice room but lots of stairs and unfortunately, got locked out of home one night. Host was gracious and discovered a fellow guest had done this in error. We strongly recommended a sign on inside of door to ensure this did not happen to others.
