This B&B is different in that they have a formal dining room with a terrific chef and top notch waiters to guide you. My wife & I returned for the second time and were pleased to see the same team is still in place. While the rooms are fairly standard the dining experience is second to none. Regardless of where...

Contemporary decor & welcoming feel. The staff went above and beyond with not only creative complimentary ganache and dessert but also the freshest ingredients! The pumpkin soup was rich and creamy. Pappardelle was completely homemade and wonderful. Was very pleased to learn that the Whistling Swan supports local farmers too! Only open on select days, you don't want to miss... More

We arrived at dusk and the warm glow of soft lights and the embracing scent of a wood fire was immediately welcoming as we walked in. We were tired from the drive and hungry so it was an easy sell to stay for dinner once we saw the menu. It was just the atmosphere and food I was looking for... More

We were thoroughly impressed with the food and the service here. We did not stay at this Inn but dined in the restaurant. We had a wonderful, romantic dinner with excellent food. The ambiance is perfect, and the restaurant staff are superb. I highly recommend that you dine here if you're looking for a romantic, perfectly prepared meal. Topnotch!

The Whistling Swan Inn is one of the most wonderful bed and breakfast places that I have ever experienced. The rooms are clean and the service is topnotch. The food is excellent and the little Door Country town of Fish Creek is filled with incredible little shops and wonderful eateries. If you’re looking for a small town bed and breakfast... More

My husband and I eat here on special occasions and have never been disappointed. This time we had the pork belly tacos and I had a fish I've never had before "HEBI". It was tempura battered and cooked perfectly. It's the best fish I've ever had. This is by far one of our favorites!

I had stayed here twice the first two years when it opened in the mid 80's. It was charming with beautiful wallpaper and exquisite antiques. The property was sold several years ago and all the things we loved about the place were gone. The new owner has gone with a modern design. The single hallway is bland with no art... More

I thought I would try this place again because it seemed so promising if only the owners spent a few dollars to fix the circulation and cooling issues. The rooms were fine. Nothing great but serviceable. The restaurant serves high priced food in a porch with plor circulation. If your idea of a good meal is a $70 per person... More

Our visit here was for only a couple of hours, but it was time well spent enjoying wine and appetizers while partaking in a couple of strategy games intermixed with pleasant banter with the friendly staff. We were treated to a tour of the Inn and hope to plan an overnight stay here in the future. A lovely stop, in... More
