Our experience started before we arrived.
We had to cancel our first reservation due to an unfortunate accident, and had several conversations with Elizabeth, who was most understanding. We rescheduled for two months later.
Once we arrived, we realized it was well worth the wait.
First, the location is great, since it is on a quiet street, that is walkable to the main street in NOTL, (about 15-20 minutes) but a very short drive as well. We liked being close to everything we wanted for our visit-including the Shaw Festival, wineries, shopping, restaurants, etc.
Elizabeth and Matt, the young, friendly couple who own this bed and breakfast do everything possible to make their guests feel welcomed and comfortable. And their two fluffy and energetic Pomeranians are cute and well-behaved.
We stayed in the Petronella suite which is a spacious and comfortable room with a king sized bed, sitting area, fireplace, and large bathroom with a jacuzzi for two and separate shower. A private balcony awaits for those who like to sit outside.
On the same floor, is a cozy guest sitting area as well as a fridge for guests. All very well thought out with guests comfort in mind.
The dining room where we ate for breakfast was pleasant-and wow, the breakfasts were delicious. Our first morning, Elizabeth made a wonderful, creative omelet for my husband, and (since I'm not a fan of eggs) waffles with fresh berries for me, accompanied by fresh croissants, fresh fruit, potatoes and beverages. She is very flexible and accommodating with dietary preferences that we mentioned when we booked.
They also engage in pleasant conversation, and run this place with professionalism, warmth and enthusiasm.
We wanted to try some wineries, and they made recommendations and provided directions and winery passes to each place.
Our 2nd morning we were treated to an awesome baked french toast dish with fresh berries and whipped cream, along with fresh baked muffins, to name a few things.
When we left, Elizabeth also packed us homemade cookies for the road-a very nice and generous touch which we enjoyed on our car ride back home.
We will highly recommend this B and B to our friends and family and would definitely stay here again when we visit the area. Hopefully we'll be able to get a reservation, since we anticipate this place will be very popular by the time we return.
Thank you Matt and Elizabeth for a wonderful stay!
