“Stay was fine but we've come to understand, as a couple, B & B's are not for us. We prefer hotel/mo”

A lot of effort and thought was put into breakfast by the host but we found the content unusual. Location of the property was fine with about a 30 minute walk to the main street.

“Property well located but the herb smell gave me a headache and made it hard to sleep.”

Good breakfast and location

“An amazing place to stay.”

One of the nicest places we have stayed in. Beautifully decorated, incredibly clean and superb communal spaces. Breakfasts on both days were amazing - wonderful local produce and ingredients superbly cooked. Rarely do you find a proper cup of tea outside the UK but there was an amazing choice of tea served in a tea pot and china cup! We even had homemade cookies left in our bed one night. David was so welcoming and made our stay very special. This is a wonderful place to stay and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

“Perfect place to stay in Niagara on the Lake”

Beautiful bed and breakfast a short walk from the centre of Niagara on the Lake, with exceptional hosting by David and Jason. Our room was the size of an apartment and super comfy and relaxing. Breakfast was very tasty with a different surprise main dish each morning. Really happy we chose this place for our 2 night stay.

David was such a wonderful host and knows so much about the area. I will be booking with him again 100%

Clean, tidy and beautifully appointed. Food was phenomenal, loved the tea nook. David was a gracious and personable host, gave great suggestions and recommendations. Location was quiet and very picturesque, and easy walk to downtown.

“Lovely Quirky Guest House!”

What a pleasure staying here was! When we arrived David showed us around and each part was so well decorated. Then there was the surprise of the little speakeasy bar that was downstairs, it was so cool we spent a bit of time on both nights down there. David told us that he used to be a set designer and you can see he has a real talent for it! Our room on the first floor was a good size and had a very comfortable bed, so we had a great night's sleep on both nights. For the first day, we were out before the 9am breakfast, so David prepared us some pastries and muffins that we could grab and go, and they were delicious. On the second morning, we had breakfast with the other guests and that was great - the food was delicious and the company was fun. I would have no hesitation recommending this guest house at all!

“Comfortable bed, great breakfast, great host, great value.”

The breakfasts were a masterful display of culinary delight (excellent). Coffee was very good and hot. Our room and bathroom was very spacious . Great little spots to retreat to from the outdoor seating area, the upstairs library and the intimate lounge down below. All our needs were taken care of by the owners. They have put a lot of time into making their guests feel right at home! Location is good. Great stay.

“Asthetically pleasing antique theme is a perfect location for biking/wine tasting/day at the lake.”

The house was tastefully decorated with perfectly selected antiques. The room was extremely clean. A full breakfast is tastefully presented, and the food is delicious. The hosts are accommodating and helpful making sure your every need was met.

Amazing place!

The breakfast was amazing. Always starting with local cheeses and jams, bread, tea and coffee. Then a lovely hot breakfast always different but always delicious. French toast one day, an egg and mushroom skillet the next etc. Extremely welcoming, friendly and accommodating. The whole house is a furnished in a 1920-30's style including the speakeasy in the basement. I was warned by the host this experience would ruin our expectations of other bed and breakfasts. And I have to say David... You were right!! Thank you for helping make out getaway special.

Breakfast was exceptional!! David showed exemplary care and detail with every aspect of our stay!!! Although we weren’t able to meet Jason, we want to extend our warmest thank you to you both for a wonderful, wonderful stay!!! You made this a memorable visit for us both!!! Wishing you both a joyous Christmas and prosperous new year!!! Edward & Nicolle

“Great accommodation, lovely host, fabulous breakfast”

We really enjoyed our stay. The location was walkable from the lakeshore and the main street in the old town. David was a wonderful host. We had everything we needed and more. Room was spacious and comfortable with direct access to a lovely garden.

Excellent host. Clearly takes a massive amount of pride in his work

The place was beautiful. The host was lovely and the breakfasts were delicious.

“Relaxing stay”

Excellent breakfast. Beds were very comfortable. All rooms + common areas were beautifully decorated with attention to detail. Even the soft background music was soothing.

“A relaxing and enchanting treat”

Staying at Gatekeepers Retreat was a very special treat from the minute we walked through the door. The house and furnishings is comfortable, eclectic and interesting. There is a little bar downstairs that is like a speak easy....so unusual and quaint. David has such a wonderful flair. There were little unusual touches throughout the home The food was truly delicious...I mean who makes a 3 course breakfast? Everything was locally sourced as possible (in February). We were smacking our lips and full all day. David is a collector of teas. His tea pantry is open all hours and there are dozens of teas
