They advertise a $3.99 breakfast on weekdays before 11am! Our Sunday, 2 egg breakfast with bacon, hashbrowns and toast was about $5.99 i think. Amazing. The view is fantastic. Looking right out on the Seaway and ships going in or out of the Iroquois locks. But... the poor waitress working that day was just frazzled. It was PACKED when we got there. My Mum said she's never sen the place so full before. Only two tables empty, and not even cleared yet. I think there may have been a wedding the night before in town as some of the customers where dressed up, but a bit ragged and we overheard some wedding chit chat. The waitress just couldn't handle the amount of people in there. We waited forever for our tea & coffee but were very understanding as the waitress came by and apologized several times. It was actually another customer that got up and started refilling everyone's coffees to help out (small town folk are just so nice). The food took a while to come as well. Maybe they have a wee tiny little kitchen back there? Not sure, because eggs and bacon don't take long. But I'm assuming they didn't have the space or the equipment to cook all the order simultaneously. No biggie. If the service was slow every time that would be a problem. But my Mum assured me that this was most definitely a hectic morning for the staff as that usually the service is very friendly and prompt. I'm sure when I visit my Mum again we'll come for breakfast here again. A-Ok!

So what was a non-golfer and city girl like me doing at a golf course in Ashton? This is a…read morelegitimate question! I was actually there for a Charity Gala put on by an organization called "Health and Charity" in support of CHEO (the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario). So this review is exclusively for this location as an event venue (not a golf course). The event I went to was held outdoors under tents and had about 300 attendees. I feel like this number was a little too much for the place to handle. Physically the space was fine, they had lots of space and we were not crammed in. However, it was other things like we were tables of 8 and they had 1 water carafe for each table and each carafe held about 2.5 glasses worth of water. This would be fine if everyone's water glasses were already filled and the carafe would just be used to top up water, but this was not the case. The water glasses were empty! Our table at least had a carafe, I saw a table next to us where their water receptacle was a large mason jar. Another thing was the women's washrooms. The one on the main floor had only 2 stalls, so there was a huge lineup. They had more washrooms upstairs (not sure how many), but most women, including myself, were in sky-high heels and so we opted not to walk up a flight of stairs. The premises did have charm. The place is a bit older and has a rustic feel to it. If you are looking for modern, this is not the place, but if you are looking for older with character, then this would be the place. The tents were great. It was really cold outside, but we were warm under the tents. The food was good. We had the roasted red pepper soup, chicken breast with mashed potatoes, red pepper, carrot and green beans in a cream sauce, and mini desserts (carrot cake, sugar pie, and Nanaimo bars). Everything was very "safe" in terms of flavours. Nothing too creative nor unusual, which I think is ideal when you are serving a large number of people with varying levels of tolerance for culinary adventure. Nothing was bland though, everything tasted very good. Staff were very pleasant and nice. One server even went to check to see if they had Earl Grey tea for me (which they didn't). There's lots of parking, but the main parking lot is small and the large spillover parking lot is not paved. My heels did not like this, lol. Please keep in mind that I am a big city girl who feels that Ottawa is too small. I like the big, bright, modern, and slightly sterile aesthetic, haha. So this place is not my cup of tea (Earl Grey, or otherwise). But I do recognize that not everyone has the same tastes that I do, and all things considered, I think they did a good job as the venue for the event. I think this place would be a great venue for a smaller event for someone looking for a small town/country feel. I mean, hey, it's a golf course and country club, and not a convention centre, right? So 4 stars for what it is.

Wow! I thought I had reviewed the Leo Boisvin Community Centre, but apparently not! It's time to…read morechange that... So, we in Prescott are really lucky to have this community centre for special events. It used to be a hockey rink, but it outlived its usefulness and would cost more to upgrade and would never be up to par to compare with modern hockey rinks. The town is thankfully building a new one in the west end of town south of the 401 (more on that when they finally open it). Meanwhile, rather than tear down this rink, they have converted it to a community centre, and they host special events there, like a Christmas craft show, roller skating events, and different shows. There was recently a small local business show hosted there, where companies showcased their wares (such as a coffee company, trailer company, real estate businesses, a tiny homes outfit, and so on). We are really lucky to have this venue! I'm so glad the town is putting it to good use. It is a good size for these events, without being a huge complex. We will definitely be back.

This old arena has two rinks, and serves the Carleton Place community for hockey and entertainment…read more We recently saw small kids playing hockey there, and I was surprised to find that they split the rink in half to allow 4 teams to play at the same time, with their guardians and fans in the stands... this made for a lot of people in the rink at the same time, during this pandemic. We had been there a few times, several years ago to watch hockey (was it the juniors? I forget now!) It's free to get in, but there's a group of seniors who tend to sit together for these sporting events. We got "kicked out" of their seats! For the kids game we saw, there were benches provided, rather than seats, and it was cold in there. So if you happen to go to a game, bungle up!

TL;DR: Beautiful park in Perth. Great for a picnic or just a stroll…read more Stewart Park is a beautiful park. Lots of open green space. Plenty of park benches and picnic tables. Great place for a picnic. There are a few small bridges in the park which make it even more picturesque. There's even this tiny man-made waterfall which provides a nice relaxing sound. There's no play structure or special amenities, just green space to relax and enjoy. The Big Ben Memorial Statue is in Stewart Park. Big Ben was Equestrian Ian Millar's horse. They lived in Perth and apparently were famous in equestrian circles. I think the space around the statue is called Big Ben Park, but I think it's a part of Stewart Park. I don't really know, lol. There's also a tiny part of green space called Haggart Park, that also looks to be a part of Stewart Park (?) I dunno, I was just a tourist there, haha. Anyway, Big Ben Park and Haggart Park don't seem to be searchable online and aren't on Google Maps, so I'm including the pictures in this listing of Stewart Park ;) (127)

TL;DR: It's a farm-themed amusement park for kids by day and by night leading up to Halloween it's…read moreone of those haunted house horror screamfest experiences, lol. Saunders Farm is not a place that I would go of my own accord because It's too far outside of the city for me and I like neither farms nor horror experiences. However, I found myself going there with my husband, a friend and the friend's two kids. Overall, it was not as bad as I thought it would be, lol. We went during the day in September, so my review is of the farm-themed amusement park. General admission was $29 a person. I think they are only open September through December with it being most popular around Halloween. There were a few mazes, haunted houses that you walk through, and lots of play structures. There was also a zipline, which the kids did, but I did not. The zipline is not included in the general admission and was an additional $15 a person. They also had tractor rides, a Harvest one that was scenic and not meant to be scary and a Haunted one which had a few scares. They also had a big bouncy area like a bouncy castle but no walls or ceiling. They also had puppet shows, a theatre show and a monster parade. They have carnival games where you shoot cans, toss rings and things like that for prizes. There are no roller coasters or bumper cars. They have a few gift shops with very overpriced items. The candy store had no prices on the candy and our friend bought a few pop rocks, airheads and a lollipop for his kids and it was over $20. They have a few different places to eat as well. A few sit down restaurants and a few food court vendors where you take your food and eat at one of the picnic tables on the grounds. I had chicken tenders at "What the Cluck?" and it was $14 for 3 small chicken tenders and some fries. I was happy that the chicken tenders were real chicken breast meat and although they were small, they tasted good. The fries were nice and crispy too. The only thing I didn't like is staff dump the fries from the fryer into a large metal holding container and when customers ordered fries I saw staff grabbing the fries with their bare hands putting them into the paper containers and giving them to the customers. I'd think that would be hot and uncomfortable for staff, not to mention unhygienic for customers. The guy handling the chicken used tongs to place the chicken in the container, but fries guy bare handed it! WTF! Use some tongs or wear gloves, please. My husband got a Pogo with fries $10 at "Pogos + Poutine." This is where our friend and his kids got food as well. "Pogos + Poutine" and "What the Cluck?" have different menus but they share the same kitchen space. So their fries were handled by bare hands guy too. Overall, I think Saunders Farm is good for kids and families during the day. I can't speak to their Frightfest that happens at night. There's free parking on the grounds. It's plentiful, but not paved. (155)

This is a review for Frightfest!…read more I came on a Sunday evening with a few friends. Tickets were purchased in advance and were pricier than I thought it would be $60 each. I think if you bought them further in advance, there was a possibility to get 15% off. This was my first time visiting Saunder's farm and I was really impressed. Super scary and well-planned haunted houses! I think this would make a good night out for groups We came on a rainy and cold night and it was pretty busy. Lines for the haunted houses were between 10-45 minutes each. It was overall very organized and fun! Not for the very young (too scary) or if you have walking difficulties (it was muddy and slippery so definitely could potentially fall). Would definitely come again!
