Lovely staff that are very friendly and helpful. They go out of their way to help; even moving a guests car with permission while we ate dinner due to the snow! Great restaurant that had just opened the week prior. Overall a fantastic stay. I’ll stay here again any time I am in town.

The listing on hotel.com site is outdated and inaccurate. The Inn has recently been sold to a new owner and no longer has a restaurant or lounge which previous reviewers raved about and the primary reason we booked here. We only found out about these changes when checking in. This meant that we were limited to what was available in the town - mainly pizza joints. The offering is not the hot breakfast as listed but rather a limited “buffet” of bagels, cereal, fruit and muffins. The most disturbing issue of the listing is the misleading price of the rooms. In addition to the listed room price, there is an additional fee of $60 that is added at time of completing the reservation with no explanation as to what it was for. When we asked at the hotel upon checking out, the staff member could not explain it. We have no complaints about our room which was clean, quiet and the staff member (Michelle) was helpful and obliging. Unfortunately the extra cost and absence of a restaurant made the + $300 expense rather excessive and disappointing for what we received. 6/10

hidden Gem eat and sleep
Let me begin by saying that this place is a gem! I absolutely loved the owners Cathy and Rui! They were friendly super accommodating, after the first encounter I felt like Cathy and I had known each other forever! I had a private room shared bath and the room was large and very clean and well made. The bathroom was a wee bit small but had all the necessities and work great! The house was very interesting lots of art and very full, your eyes always saw something different and if you have an opportunity to chat with the owner there is an interesting story to go with the art! I decided to have dinner there and Oh my goodness it was delicious, beyond my expectations! I left so full because I did not want to leave a morsel behind. Everything I ate was full of flavour and very fresh. I highly recommend the dining experience! Breakfast was also excellent and you wonder how anyone can make bacon and eggs taste so good! Try this place it’s awesome!

Five Stars at economy prices
The owners are delightful, kind and always available to help with absolutely anything. Believe me I lost an address to pick up my new puppy way out in the boonies. Kathy went on line and found it for me. Rui, her husband is a five star chef and they set up a five star menu at two star prices. The old manor is deevine and there are friendly ghosts to keep you company, well, if you see any... It is a very comfortable and wonderful Inn. Rachel and Maurice We loved it.

We forgot a few items at their place and realized it after coming back to Windsor. We called the owner and requested shipping. We got our stuff back the following day. How amazing is that?

Excellent service and food! Wonderful ambience, antiques and original art work everywhere! The only thing I had an issue with was the bathroom. The shower stall is very slippery, but a hand towel put down solved that. Also, the floor in the bathroom is large white tiles. I put a hand towel down to step on from the shower, but when I stepped off the towel, the tile floor is so very slippery & down I went. Other than a bruise on my backside, I was ok. But, it could have been disastrous! I suggest coating with non slip brush on material, or a rubber backed rug.& a floor mat for the shower floor.
