We have stayed at Blair House many times but it has recently changed hands an we were worried it had changed. Not to worry. It is still a great place to stay with wonderful accommodating hosts. We will return.

The Inn is beautiful and full of charm. Our room (Henrietta Room) was clean and comfortable; breakfast was hearty and delectable. The innkeepers Sherie and John are very personable and gracious hosts. Overall a very pleasant stay!
Thank you so much for your kind review. We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you back again next time. - Sherie & John
Was there August 3rd for one night with my boyfriend and his youngest son. Hosts are amazing and welcoming people! Breakfast was sooo delicious! They know how to make you feel comfortable. Room had lots if little extras you would not imagine you would get. I would definately go back in a heart beat and strongly recommend Blair House Heritage Inn.
Girl you know how to make me blush. Thank you so much for the awesome review. It was really nice meeting you all. We hope to see you again next time. Enjoy life. Sherie & John
This the first time I have been compelled to write a review, so I hope I am capable of doing the Blair House Heritage Inn justice.
My husband and I drove to St. Stephens from Cambridge, Ontario. Upon arrival at the Blair House my first impression was that the Inn is breathtakingly beautiful, the size and architectural features of this century home are stunning!
upon entry the Inn did not disappoint. The attention to detail is incredible. The decor is warm and inviting, while maintaining the integrity of the era that this home was built, Our room "the St, Croix" is both charming and very clean and comfortable. The bed is so welcoming and very comfortable. The best sleep I have ever had away from home. The ensuite bathroom offered ever imaginable toiletry and hair dryer.
We were warmly welcomed by Sherie and here husband John, the managers of the Inn. They gave us a quick review of what the Inn has to offer and invited us to join them in the common living room. After settling in our room we joined Sherie, John and the owners Charlie and Rosie in the common living room. they generously offered their insights on the activities and restaurants St. Stephens has to offer.
The common area offers 24 hour refreshments, including tea, coffee, water and freshly baked cookies. Before retiring each night you are requested to select the time and breakfast menu you'd like and simply hang your choice on the door knob.
The breakfast is served in the formal dining room, made fresh and served by John, the Chef. This was a pleasant experience, as opposed to the traditional buffet. The menu offers many options to please anyone.
Over breakfast we had the opportunity to meet and chat with the other guests, the came from provinces across the country.
Thank you so much John, Sherie, Rosie and Charlie, for sharing your gorgeous home and making us feel like family.
Till we meet again, Wade and Yvonne.
FINALLY!!! I have a minute to respond. Thank you for this amazing review. We truly appreciate it. Were so happy to hear you had a great stay.Pleasure meeting you. Till we meet again - Sherie & John
I come from out of town to work every other weekend in the area and found this gem!! Great staff great food! And the rooms are very clean! This house has a lot of character as it is very old I would 100% recommend staying here to anyone
Hi Gremin1980,
Thank you so much for your kind words. We are happy to hear you enjoy your stay. Looking forward to seeing you next weekend again.
Take care
John & sherie
First impressions were not the greatest. We were unsure of where to park or where to enter. Parked at the back and carried luggage downhill to the front of the house. Steep front steps. We were greeted by a sign on the door telling us to look for our names to find our room number. The room key was in the lock. It was 6:30 pm - the arrival time we quoted. Another party arrived shortly after us, parked alongside the front steps and awkwardly left their car there for the night. Overall, the house looks and feels a bit worn out. The bannister going upstairs to the rooms was wobbly. Later when we met the new owner, he did talk about the needed renovations. Breakfast was a bit on the pale side. The unpleasant part came when checking out. They have a payment system connected to a third party entity. The credit card was rejected (3 attempts) as was the debit card. Fortunately we had cash. Later, the cards wouldn't work at a gas station and even worse, at another hotel. Imagine if one of us had been traveling alone - try finding an appropriate bank open on a weekend along the TransCanada highway. The folks at VISA said the card was breached multiple times within minutes after leaving the inn. If you are in the hospitality business, your guests' security should be paramount. Overall, just one big annoyance when we were looking for a convenient place to stay.
Hello ScotiaFolk,
We are sorry to hear about your experience. The back of the house is our living headquarters. Guests are allowed to park anywhere in front of the house. The steps have been there for many years, but we appreciate your concerns regarding them. On the door is a welcome sign with instructions. We are always home but may be in other parts of the house. We understand that the home itself needs some work done to it. The house itself is older then Canada after all. We apologize for breakfast. We try and keep it as neutral as possible with options on the table such as salt and pepper etc to add if needed. As for the check out we strongly suggest you contacting your bank provider for more details. We strongly assure you that our guests security is number one. Thank you for your input and we will learn and grow from it. Peace and prosperity - Blair house Innkeepers.
