We have been going here since we moved to the area close to a decade ago. We used to love it but over the past year and a half it has really gone down hill. We stopped coming every other week and gave it a break a few times but today we decided it was the last time. Not because of the service. The food has been over powered by spice, sauces and garnish that are slapped on and over power the food. I had the nachos tonight which used to be my favorite but I couldn't eat as it was drowned in 2 sauces. That is just one example but we have tried many things and unfortunately the quality is no longer there

What started out as an unfortunate circumstance, ended with a beautiful place to lay my head comfortably. The room was perfect: clean and spacious. The restaurant downstairs was a hidden gem! The food is cooked to perfection. Try the Beef Burgundy, amazing dish! The owner Jaro, is a top notch, stand up guy willing to go the extra mile for his business. Thank you for everything you did, Jaro! -Melissa

Cozy spot and clearly popular with locals. Our daughter was at a volleyball tryout in the area, so we stopped in for supper while we waited. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a friendly, social vibe. We ordered a cider and a beer, which arrived very quickly. For our meals, I had the Japanese curry and my wife chose the pulled pork sandwich. The curry was recommended by our waitress as her favourite and the most popular item on the menu. The food was fine—good but fairly average overall. At $29, the Japanese curry felt a bit overpriced, although the portion size was generous. That said, I’d be open to going back to try other menu items. Service really stood out: attentive, welcoming, and genuinely friendly throughout the meal.

This is a lovely inn with stupendously comfortable and cozy accommodations. Very clean, quiet and well kept, close to the highway. Our room was spacious, appointed with every conceivable amenity featuring a fridge with cold water, which was very welcome. Great vistas of the lake with an inviting common space featuring a coffee maker and couches. Shared balcony provides another vantage of the water where one can partake in a view of the sunset

We have been here 3-4 times for dinner or snacks and it’s very consistent, great food and excellent service. (We have never stayed at the B&B). The nachos worth it alone! Very cozy atmosphere inside and a really nice patio with a view of the lake. Did I mention the nachos?

Stayed in the Fletcher room of the B&B. Very nice atmosphere, modern and clean. Great food and drinks on the restaurant patio. Seafood pasta was amazing and the dessert trio. Will definitely be back if ever back this way from London Ontario. Only negative was the lack of parking.
