This was an amazing experience right from booking through to reluctantly leaving. Everything from our room, breakfasts and the area was exceptional. The rooms are themed, we were in the "SILK ROAD" ROOM. AND beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable. Deanne and Aleck were excellent hosts giving good advice on where to visit etc. We would stay here again when visiting the area.

“I would recommend the Explorer House and I plan to visit again.”
This was my first time staying at a bed & breakfast. The Explorer House exceeded my expectations. The hosts were helpful and easy to reach if needed. The backyard was an Oasis. The room we stayed in came with all amenities; such as a blow dryer, which was helpful because I forgot mine. The room was clean, and the bed was perfect for two people. My favorite part were the decorations and pictures from her travels. It added a uniqueness to the room and house. This house is close to many wineries, restaurants, and a nice trail. You could even rent bikes if you wanted to explore the town. What I also enjoyed about staying at a Bed & Breakfast was eating breakfast together with the other guests. Niagara falls is a 25 minute drive and the outlet mall was 10 minutes away. :)

“Lovely property, quiet location”
Lovely property with extra touches (snacks, bottled water, makeup pads, etc). Beautiful decor (nature/wildlife photography), friendly owners, large bathroom with spa tub. Hot tub in backyard operating in winter despite icy conditions (side path was slippery). Hosts were very accommodating and breakfast was good.

Everything was exceptional, as good as any bed and breakfast we have ever stayed at. Clearly a great deal of thought went into the design and operation of this B and B.

“Explorer experience”
. Extra large bedroom and bathroom , decent sized private balcony. Also had the use of shared living room and shared coffee machine with fridge and free snacks, free cold drinks. We also used the shared balcony upstairs overlooking the car park. This property also has separate garden area with hot tub ,seating area and fire pit. Solely for guests to use . Homemade jam and marmalade at breakfast 😋 👌 Overall, Explorer House was a superb find. My wife also bought a cook book written by the host Deanna. Will certainly be back next time we are in Canada.

“Out of this world experience.”
The breakfast was a yuumy healthy choice and just what is needed. The service , warmth at the arrival that we got was just out of this world and you could not get it at any hotel accommodation. The location was perfect and the room was just luxurious. I would give this a 7 star rating and definitely recommend this property. Thank you Deanna and Alec Bishop for a wonderful stay.
