The proprietors have been evolving this property as a B&B for over 30 years. There is a gorgeous wildflower garden with a fountain, path and seating areas, hot tub, very comfy rooms, and delicious breakfast. The proprietors are very knowledgeable about the theatre scene, too. Highly recommended. Note that it's a little beyond easy walking distance from anything, so you'll still need to drive around.

Lovely home, property, and hosts. The perfect place to stay when taking in a show. Barb was incredibly helpful with suggestions on dining in Stratford and arranging a cab to and from the show. The room was spotless and extremely comfortable with two beds, seating, a mini fridge stocked with water, and roomy washroom. Sadly it rained most of our stay, so we were unable to take full advantage of her beautiful gardens. Breakfast the next morning was delicious and beautifully presented. Great conversation with our hosts and fellow guests. Highly recommend.

Rock gardens and quiet places to sit and enjoy the gardens surround the house. The bedroom is large, spotless, bright and air conditioned. The ensuite has hand grips and a step-in shower. It is a short walk to the Festival Theatre. Located on a quiet residential street , there is no street noise, we had an excellent nights sleep.
