I found this B&B to be one of the worst experiences I have ever encountered while travelling with my family. When due to a health problem in my family, we had to cancel our travel. We gave them more than three weeks notice, yet they refused to provide us with any sort of refund. On top of that, they were... More

I booked this B&B over the phone while driving in to the city and when I saw the house outside I knew it wasn't for me. It looks rundown outside and inside was much worse. The lady who met us at the door wasn't very friendly. The house was very untidy,clothes and things thrown everywhere around the living area. The... More

My experience here was terrible with cleanliness and rudeness both lacking. I cannot emphasize enough that this is not a nice place to stay.

I made a reservation a full month ahead of my scheduled stay and was told that the B&B had a seven day cancellation policy. When I called back within 24 hours to cancel, I was told that I would be charged a $50 reservation fee. Not only was the manager exceedingly rude, he lied about having told me about the... More

We stayed here 2 nights (2 too many); our last 2 nights of our trip in Canada. Altogether this was a very unpleasant experience. The lady who (supposedly) owns the b&b left the day we arrived. She was ok, however, 1 of her sons, who is the actual owner (so he told us) is a very rude, unpolite young man,... More

I wish we'd read the previous reviews before booking. It's no longer on the BB Canada website and I can see why. The surly, unwelcoming young man who seems to have been left to do everything on his own and is not coping. The place is dirty, the stair carpet needs a good clean, as does the outside which looks...

This was the worst B & B experience that I have ever had! We were greeted by a surly host and taken up very dirty unvacuumed stairs to a room with a king size bed. We also needed a pull out ( assuming this would be a sofa). The pull out was little more than a mattress on the floor.... More

This B&B was absolutely horrible! Not only was it dirty and run down but the owner assaulted me. Stay away!!! (Especially if you are a female traveling alone, or support women in general).

This is the worst place I have ever stayed at. Dirty, exposed wiring, bathroom left dirty, no toilet paper - we slept in our clothes. Curtains haphazard. Never, never stay here. If it hadn't been for the couple we were travelling with we would have walked out. As it was, we did not stay for breakfast, as the Kitchen was... More

Reservation made in hindsight before performing a review search on this B & B. An oversight made on my part, as the website I searched didn't clearly identify that it was a pet friendly b & b. Due to sensitive allergy, I called back immediately to cancel reservation. Anthony called me back the day after to inform me that after... More
