What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“I stayed at this BnB and really recommend it. It is comfortable, beautifully decorated and Heather is a wonderful, caring host. Her breakfast is gourmet and delicious. The location is great for those going to the Stratford Festival. I loved my time reading and relaxing on the beautiful porch in this quiet, lovely neighbourhood.”
“Beautiful historic house decorated with art and antiques. Gracious and helpful host and stunning breakfast. Walking distance to the theatre and downtown and beautiful gardens. Bed was perfect with good quality linens We will definitely be back! Owner even took us on a guided walking tour after our 5 star breakfast which included fresh baked scones with homemade jam , frittata with goat cheese and roasted peppers , scalloped potatoes and local cider. A feast! We would highly recommend this lovely 1881 classic home and host to anyone who appreciates the finer things in life.”
“The Chisholm is a beautiful historic home, and from the moment you are greeted by Heather, you feel like you are greeted by family. The Regency room is great and who doesn't love a vintage claw tub. The breakfast is truly the best, expertly prepared by Heather. I highly recommend”
“We stayed at the Chisholms for 2 nights on our 34 th anniversary. This beautiful buff brick mansion at the corner of Ontario and Front is well situated between the Festival Theater and downtown. Heather was a very welcoming host and she made wonderful gourmet breakfasts. The house was well updated and kept up. We stayed at the English Room on the second floor. It was bright, very nicely decorated and had a big King bed. The duvet and pillows were all feather.The en-suite bathroom was spacious, with both a claw-foot tub and a walk-in shower. We enjoyed our stay very much and would highly recommend the Chisholms and Heather.”
