This was our 2nd stay here and it was just as good this time around. This is a well cared for enormous historic home in a quiet neighbourhood. Rooms are large and appointed with period furnishings. But what makes the place special is Andrea and Stefan who provide exceptional service, scrumptious breakfasts and are available to help but are not... More

Our stay was a unique step back into history, hearing about the home's previous owners and how the home was part of the boarding school and college life of the last century. Chatting with other guests at breakfast was special. The bed was very comfortable, which I need due to a sensitive shoulder. Some suggestions for the hosts to address:... More

Travellers who enjoy historic neighbourhoods with a nod to grand pasts will appreciate this most elegant bed and breakfast. Its setting, within walking distance of the old town centre and in close proximity to a creek ravine provides great opportunity for walks at each end of the day. Hosts Andrea and Stefan are accommodating, gracious and altogether perfect Inn-keepers. The... More

My husband and I recently returned from a wonderful three night stay at Springbank House Inn. Coming from the States we had no preconceived expectation for the stay. We simply were looking for a clean and safe place to sleep as the main focuse was to see our children row in the Royal Canadian Henley. To our surprise we found... More

This bed and breakfast does not have a lock on any of the room doors which means they are accessible to anyone else staying in the house. The front door of the house has a lock but is only used at night which means during the day the house and your room are accessible to ANYONE! Our visit was in... More

Thank you for your response. Our property is located in "safe" Canada and even "safer" Niagara. What a great neighbourhood our Downtown Heritage District is? We are proud to state that keys or locks are not used in many homes across Canada. Isn't it good news to find a destination where there is safety and trust among people? We are... More

From the moment we were greated by Bruno the handsome dog and met Andrea and Stefan we were in heaven. Indeed, this beautiful house is located in a very quiant area of St. Catharines; not too far from the wineries of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Jordan and Beamsville. The rooms are very large with equally spacious ensuite; lovingly restored from its original splendor.... More

We chose Springbank House to meet with friends in the Niagara area. It turned out to be the perfect place for us. After a long drive it was so good to sit on the cool stone porch, looking at a shaded garden and a bubbling fountain! Stefan and Andrea made us all feel right at home and that evening Stefan... More

Our wonderful hosts, Andrea & Stefan, not only welcomed us into their gracious B&B but made us feel honoured to be celebrating our friendship under their roof. I cannot say enough about those two. Andrea is elegance personified. Her soft voice and suspenseful telling of a story holds you in the palm of her hand. And then there's Stefan. His... More

An excellent find. Lovely propery in a historic and well-treed part of St Catharines, easily accessible from the highway but very quiet. I had in fact experienced the culinary skills of Chef Stefan and his elegant partner, Andrea, earlier this year and was persuaded that a visit to Springbank was warranted. My wife and I were joined by two friends... More
