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.

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.

Went for afternoon high tea. Definitely not up to par as one would expect from the price we were charged.Underwhelming for sure.

Very quaint and comfortable
I used to always stay in a downtown hotel but lately safety has been an issue when travelling alone. I enjoyed my stopover at the Inn and will get back there anytime I need to make a stopover in the London area.

We had a lovely family dinner at Idlewyld restaurant and were thoroughly impressed. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming—perfect for a relaxed evening out. I had the lamb, which was absolutely fantastic—tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. My son ordered the steak and couldn’t stop talking about how good it was. The entire experience, from the service to the beautifully presented dishes, was top-notch. Idlewyld is definitely a gem, and we’ll be back!
