Le site extérieur est très négligé. Dommage car la localisation est super sur la rivière. L’accueil a été très mauvais par une jeune asiatique pas souriante qui nous a même fermé la porte au nez pour ne pas être dérangée. La chambre était moyenne, le lit confortable et la douche et les serviettes agréable. Le déjeuner pas très bon et servi encore de façon médiocre par la même asiatique. Il y avait un jeune garçon aux cuisine plus gentil. À la sortie on nous demande un pourboire minimum de 15% ou $30 sur le total!!! Plus jamais!!!!

Stay away- the description is very deceiving. This is far from being an Inn and Spa. We had booked 2 nights and left after first night. We would not have stayed at all but it was late and we had a long travel day.
We had 4 flights of narrow old carpeted stairs to our room. Concerned about safety should there have been a fire given location of room. No adults seen until next day. Young person who let us in did not ask us for identification and did not instil a sense of safety.
Room was really large but furniture, blinds, outside furniture etc in disrepair. Thermostats covered with paper with notes saying not to remove. The decor did not match a historic old home and there was an unpleasant odour walking in.
There was no sense of hospitality as one would expect in a bed and breakfast. No one greeted you, you wrote what you wanted for breakfast on a piece of paper the night before, you had to collect your own utensils, previous guest dirty dishes remained on the table limiting where we could sit. The host and cook were young children. No adult seen until we were checking out early. No questions asked about why and in fact no one even said goodbye or thank you.

Ours was an overnight stay on our way to Prince Edward Island. We were attracted to the Victorian style of the B & B and the interior had been restored beautifully, particularly in the public spaces on the first floor. The staff was friendly and helpful.

There was a restaurant within walking distance, and we went there for dinner after a long day of driving. Breakfast, in the morning, was tasty and we were on our way the next day.

This was a very cozy and quaint property, very conveniently located.

Pros: The room was clean and very charming. Sean was kind and accommodating, he made a great breakfast. Check in was easy.

Cons: Housekeeping was listed as an amenity, however we did not receive housekeeping. The host was hard to get a hold of when we needed something, but they were quick to fix the issue when we did reach them.

I liked the vibe of the place and we met some fellow travellers when we were there. I would stay again, but I would adjust my expectations.

Pros-

Breakfast was freshly made to order. Staff was super nice. Lilacs were perfectly in bloom and stunning.

Cons-
So much of the house is dirty. Flaky paint. Dusty window sheers that sit right on top of the radiator (fire hazard). Carpet on the stairs is old and dirty. The bath mat was clearly old and maybe not cleaned with each stay. There was a small stain on the sheet. The pillows were tiny. The street side of the house looks okay from a distance, but if you walk around the house it’s very clear it has not been maintained. We asked when the family purchased it- thinking maybe it was a new purchase… it was not. 2017.

This place has so much potential… I feel sad for the house!

The Inn appears to be run by 1 individual who is a bit overwhelmed. Rooms were clean but it could use some updates. Bring your own toiletries as there aren't any offered at the inn.
Breakfast is made to order. Omelets are full of onions. Meat lovers means an onion omelet and bacon on the side. I do believe that the owner did put in the effort but I think he has too much for 1 person.

Check in was to be between 3 and 6 pm. At 4:30, 3 couples were waiting at the door to check in. You were not encouraged to use the downstairs area as by 7:30 the area was in darkness and left over breakfast dishes remained on the tables until checkout time at 11. Our room was on the third floor as expected but the staircase was quite narrow and steep so little difficult to use with suitcases.

The Historic bed and breakfast building is beautiful inside and out. Rooms were updated and very clean. Host family were friendly and helpful. Outside landscaping needs a bit of work as there were overgrown shrubs and large weeds on the stairs leading to the back deck and the table and deck were not very inviting. Breakfast needs improvement. 2 very small flat pancakes, 2 small pieces of bacon, 3 cherry tomotoes and a small handful of blueberries are not what is expected at a B & B. Otherwise, all was good and we enjoyed our stay.

The young man looking after the property could not cook or clean, and appeared to be using / on his phone to learn how to cook scrambled eggs.
The kitchen was a disaster zone with little or no food hygiene / protection evident.
The guest fridge contained numerous food stains and had clearly not been cleaned for a significant time.
The cream jug had also not been cleaned and was rimmed with soured cream build up.
Breakfast tables were bare with no attempt to lay up place setting.
Food hygiene standards are not being practiced at this bed & breakfast.
The room was clean but tired.
