如果去安省倫敦,一定要去這家酒店。古樸典雅的建築,保護的很好,房間非常乾淨温馨。酒店是其以餐廳更為出名的,在當地是要提前預約的。早餐非常優秀,可看圖片。服務很英式,每個客人都會感收到被尊重。

We arrived and were greeted with the utmost courtesy, setting the tone for our stay. The room was cozy, charming, and offered a lovely view of the outdoor terrace. Due to the high demand, we were kindly offered a restaurant reservation, which we gladly accepted. As an early riser, I was especially touched when John at the front desk came over to check on me at 5 a.m. and offered me a coffee. The following morning, as the team was setting up for breakfast, our server recognized me, remembered exactly how I liked my coffee, and brought it over without me even asking—such thoughtful service made a lasting impression. Breakfast itself was delightful, and the service throughout was exceptional. Dinner, however, was the real highlight—the chef is truly outstanding. I highly recommend experiencing the Sunday Brunch as well; my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it, and it will certainly be on our list the next time we visit. In short: cozy, charming, and romantic. This Inn is a gem, and we can’t wait to return.

Very nice place and staff. Although I was disappointed in the quality of nail polish in the spa that smudged in 30 minutes and started chipping in 24 hours, I am more disappointed in the fact that when I wrote both the spa and front desk, no one even acknowledged my email. My daughter and I were both super excited to plan our next stay but not so much now. An acknowledgment of my concern would have been appreciated. It’s unfortunate that chipped nail polish has left a negative feeling about our experience.

This vintage facility has been around since the 1800s. We truly enjoyed a relaxing stay there to revel in a piece of Canadian history. Complementary breakfast on the outdoor front veranda was a delight. Some of the building is tastefully set with antiques and the rooms are upgraded with newer decor. Would stay again especially due to the friendly helpful staff.

Definitely not what I was were expecting from an established place.As you can see from my pictures. Outside was lovely and was a beautiful day. Would try the hotel and spa one day. Thanks for the experience. Hopefully they can improve on the experience.
