We were welcomed by Julie and settled right in. Walked to dinner and ordered boxed breakfasts! Had a great sleep and had our breakfast for lunch! Amazing wrap, orange juice, banana and croissant!
Excellent stay!!

The room was spacious, clean and well equipped with an assortment of coffees and teas. The breakfast was good and my wife really enjoyed the home-made yogurt. I enjoyed an omelette on a toasted bagel and a fresh baked croissant. It is a great place to stay if you are visiting Markdale or visiting the Down Home Farm restaurant for a farm-to-table experience.
Our host was charming and helpful, and the beautiful brick home was cozy and warm in the freezing weather. We enjoyed walking to a good restaurant that was in the neighborhood.
