This is coming VERY late but it's been a very busy Fall and now almost a new year. I had the pleasure of staying with 2 wonderful people(Alfie too) over Labor Day weekend. Saw 5 shows and traveled by myself and had another enjoyable weekend at Breaking Bread. As always Doug and Holly were great hosts and the weekend went... More

My family and I like most other families lead active lives. Several years ago we decided to stop and smell the roses as a family and we luckily came to learn of Stratford and the world class theatre they produce. While searching for accommodations we learned that Stratford may be the B and B capital of Canada. We discussed the... More

We enjoy Shakespeare and other theatre but for a well-rounded and truly lovely experience in Stratford we stay at the Breaking Bread. We are repeat guests. The hosts Holly and Doug have a deep knowledge of the theatre scene in Stratford, including it seems a good deal of the gossip, and make a habit of seeing all of the productions... More

In walking distance from downtown Stratford is a very special B&B. Hosts Holly and Doug Barkman offer a warm welcome, pleasant surroundings, a good breakfast and stimulating conversation. In a very short time, we became friends. More

We love talking about the plays and always look forward to... More

The main floor living... More

Great for relaxing on with a cup of coffee! Breakfasts were delicious, varied and nutritious. Holly and Doug are gracious hosts. They are very knowledgeable about the Festival... More

I was provided with a much-appreciated ride to and from the train station and they are more than happy to pick up guests after evening theater performances. The house is charming and clean and conveniently located for downtown Stratford and all... More
