The rooms are extremely warm and welcoming, there is also a beautiful indoor pool with a high cathedral ceiling. It actually felt like a trip to a museum with spectacular artwork and beautiful antique furniture. Much of the artwork has strong family ties and fabulous stories behind it. As stated, these gentlemen have thought about every detail down to slippers to fit you and robes to wear to the pool. The breakfast was far beyond my expectations, you order personally and it appears in the fridge. No sticky croissant and bear claws here. We loved the fact that breakfast was very personal rather than hanging out with Guy and Sue from Moncton around a big table There is also a grand property right on the creek although we were unable to explore thanks to the slush and mud. Overall, I would highly recommend this place to anyone. We will definitely be back!

Hosts Kim and Kevin are so welcoming and knowledgeable about all the doings in Stratford. The house is impeccably decorated, with tons of books to read and spaces to sit outside and enjoy the gardens. Refrigerators for personal use. Rooms and beds are comfortable and many have private decks. Tea and cookies always available. The most wonderful thing is that a big thermos of coffee is brought up into hallway in early morning for self serve. How great is that? No getting dressed! Outstanding ample breakfast each day featuring top notch very fresh and innovative breakfast items. A station with granola, fresh breads, croissants, biscuits and homemade jams starts one off. Then a hot item of astonishing quality. Dietary restrictions accommodated. Cannot wait to return next year!

I spent a night here yesterday while in town for a conference at the theatre. Normally, I am not…read moreinclined to opt for a B & B, but I am very pleased that I put aside my normal doubts and gave the Old Rectory a go. Making my arrangements to stay here was very easy. Kevin got back to me immediately and replied to my inquiry and we quickly and efficiently arranged everything. My friend and I arrived a bit earlier than we'd initially indicated, but both Kevin and Kim were welcoming and helpful. We were shown to a reasonable sized room on the second floor and all necessary amenities were explained to us. The decor of the place wasn't really my cup of tea, but the room was clean and cozy, so I can put aside my own personal aesthetic. The private bathroom was a decent size and well laid out. The bed was a wee bit smaller than I'd imagined, but it was very comfortable. My favourite part of my stay though hands down had to be my breakfast! Because Kevin and Kim knew we had an early start, they got breakfast going extra early for us. We started with freshly baked croissants, lemon poppy seed cake, and assorted fresh berries. DEELISH! Then we had poached eggs with hollandaise sauce with heirloom tomato on a wonderfully salty rosti. SO SO GOOD!!! The eggs were cooked to perfection and the splash of pesto on the tomato added a perfect kick. I was in heaven. I love coming to Stratford to see the theatre. Next year, I am totally coming back here, but I am going to make sure that I have dinner at the Old Rectory too!

It's right down the road from St. Boniface church and a school. We stayed in the country room. There's an in-room soaker tub and the place is beautifully furnished with lots of cute little details. It felt like I traveled into another time and place. The room is extremely clean! Comparable to 5-star big name hotels. There's also a small fireplace in the room, which heats the room up quite well. Room is small but it has everything you need! I LOVE the bed! With the curtains, it's like you have a mini little bedroom. There's also a small TV with VHS/DVD player at the foot of the bed for some late night entertainment. In the morning, Sandra prepared a scrumptious fresh fruit granola yogurt and a decadent waffle topped with whipped cream and powder sugar. Homemade strawberry sauce and local maple syrup were given on the side. Breakfast also included tea or coffee and juice. Sandra was stunningly wonderful! She made us feel welcomed and refreshed with our stay at Maryhill Inn. With the Wag Jag special, it was $69 a night and $128 for 2 nights from Sunday to Thursday. An amazing deal! Can't find this quality of room and service elsewhere for this price! With or without the deal, I will be returning to Maryhill Inn!

They combine a quirky space, spectacular food and warm staff to deliver magic. Located just a few minutes from Stratford, we made the drive over and found a huge Victorian home transformed into a five star restaurant. PH offers indoor and outdoor seating. The grounds are coupled with loads tea lights, beautiful flowers and jazz standards filling the air. We were met by our friendly server, Kara, who gave us a great table on the large wrap around porch. She walked us through the menu and was spot on with all her information and recommendations. She was hard working and attentive without being intrusive or bothersome. Kara became part of the experience. The food was something to behold. First, each dish was a visual work of art. The skill and passion of the chef's are on full display whether you order the Braised Ribs or the Fried Chicken Sandwich. Those were the entrees we chose with Kara's help and we couldn't have been more delighted. Everything was prepared to perfection. The ingredients were fresh and no detail was overlooked or dismissed. In fact, my wife and I agree that the fried chicken sandwich may have been the best fried chicken sandwich we had ever eaten. The breading was light and spiced and the glaze that was drizzled on top was the clincher. The homemade chips and dip were the perfect side along with the sweet pickles. The Braised ribs were delicious and the assortment of grilled and puréed veggies not only made a beautiful plate, but a magnificent bite. Finally, no birthday celebration is complete without desert. We ordered the crème brûlée flavored with maple and pecans. It was cooked perfectly and was a perfect end to a perfect meal. We were also given a birthday bowl with an ice cream based specialty of the house. I still don't know what they do, but it was the lightest and most delicate ice cream dish we have ever had. I highly recommend that if you are in the area, you make reservations at the Puddicombe House. We will be back.

Lord oh lord. This is Christmas. This is as good as it gets! After attending my client Christmas party, I was left alone to further my own party. For a Toronto boy, the scenary that I had in my field of vision was "A Wonderful Life." A fully restored and renovated home on the downtown New Hamburg road has many surprises. It is a Bed and Breakfast hotel with impeccable food, wine, and other fine spirits. They have a spa next door and a beautiful banquet hall to the back of the property. Nick Cressman is the manager and the Cressman family have taken to hospitality with small town flair. I've had the pleasure of staying here a couple of times and dining a few more times. I would stay here more often, but as I have to pay for my stays and not expensed to my client, it has to be on special occasions. For those of you who would be staying in Kitchener, Waterloo, or even Stratord - this would be a great stop for you. It is smack in the middle. - 20mins to Kitchener or Stratford. Puddicombe's menu is very well put together for their restaurant. Fine linens, comfortable chairs, and small inviting rooms combined with excellent service makes for a very fine dining experience. When choosing a room in the winter, see if you can upgrade to one with a fireplace. This will avoid the fan noises from the heat exchanger - if you are a light sleeper. Rooms are well appointed with comfortable beds, cable tv and high speed internet (which at times were a bit problematic). Only if I can get them to increase the shower water pressure, we can bump up the review a few more enthusiastic notches. As I wind down my client engagement in this small and very pretty town, I will still endeavour to find my way back here once in a while. Cue the Christmas tunes again... Cheers!

There is also a giant park across the street for picnics and a small water park for kids. We preferred the third floor since it had a small kitchen. Outside of the bakery near the b&b, we found the eateries and restaurants in Guelph to be lackluster. The rooms on the third floor are quaint and tidy. There were plenty of extra towels and a bath robe for each of us. Wifi was available and reliable. We had a chance to peek into the rooms on the second floor and they are truly impressive. Breakfast was coffee and fruit plus a hot entree: an eggs option with toast and jams or pancakes/french toast with maple syrup. Very taste and satisfying. Andy and his daughter were hands off for the most part. Very helpful when we needed assistance. On two occasions, they went out of their way to make our entire stay comfortable.
