Beautiful property. An old house, but well kept. The Hob Nob restaurant onsite is excellent, with a great little bar to hang out. Convenient easy walk to downtown NoTL and the Shaw Festival Theatre. Will definitely return.

If you like old quaint, like much of NOTL, you’ll love this 1800’s era converted mansion. Staff is so 5-star helpful and pleasant. Eggs benedict is first rate. Borders onto the oldest golf course in North America, right on the water of L Ontario. Walkable to all main street amenities. Lots to love. Greg, Caledon

This room is smaller than my closet. The lights are so bright outside the room that even with the blinds closes it’s like full daylight. Walls are paper thin and door is see through. Not worth 300 a night.
