The A/C vent in our room was barely blowing any air, outside the room and in other rooms was 5 degrees colder. Our bed was so firm we didn't get much sleep, But everything else was fantastic, breakfast great, the decor of this 160 years old building very nice, full facilities. We will be rebooking next year in a different room too in joy the town of Elmia and the St Jacobs farmer Market

Our stay was absolutely flawless from start to finish! The entire process, from booking to check-out, was seamless and stress-free. We were very impressed with the amenities, which were all excellent and well-maintained. The thoughtful extras like toothbrushes and lotions were a wonderful touch and truly made us feel at home. And the breakfast was a definite highlight – such a fantastic variety of delicious options to choose from! We highly recommend this property.

The house was very cute. Would have liked to meet the owners and other guests. We had a nice room although the bedpost sat right in the middle of the TV which was strange.

It was a pleasure staying at an Inn with such great history. I am impressed by how the host has kept and decorated the house reminding the guests of its history. Breakfast was terrific especially with a variety of fresh fruits and cereal choices. Room was clean and comfy. Definitely recommended!!

We were disappointed with the breakfast. No one there to ask or get help. Everything self serve. Fresh fruits were in the fridge, but it was not washed. So the last day we had to go out for breakfast. In the room was a broken mug, not visible, so when I made tea the hot water went right out of the hole and made a mess.
