A B&B needs to be rated vs 3 main criteria - accommodation, breakfast and reception. This historic summer home of Sir John A. Macdonald is truly a gem. It is a museum with much of the original period furniture in place. The site has incredible views and the wrap around porch is a perfect resting place. You can almost sense the old guy in the place. The original wallpaper is evident in the dining room but most rooms have new wallpaper installed in 1905! Beds are comfortable. Clean. Go for the accommodation...not for the breakfast. We chose Oeufs en cocotte but passed on eating them. They were undercooked and basically raw looking. The slice of homemade bread was very good but the portion of butter and preserves for the two of us was inadequate - less than you would get in a single plastic container in a chain restaurant. Good coffee though only available at the exact time of breakfast. I believe the "aubergiste" though very pleasant was overwhelmed in her position. I first experienced that in booking the room, on arrival, and prior to breakfast. I would encourage people to consider this place as a worthwhile stop but be aware of its limitations. read more
