We stayed at the Hillcrest House over a long weekend. It was our first B&B experience, and it was definitely worth it. The hosts (Wendy and Stefan) were extremely accomodating. They were a wealth of knowledge regarding the area. We had a fantastic time sitting around their backyard with the rest of the guests and some neighbours with drinks. We... More

My wife and I and another couple had the pleasure of staying at Hillcrest House from October 7-10 during Oktoberfest. Stefan and Wendy were gracious and accommodating hosts who spared no energy in welcoming their guests and making us feel right at home. They naturally created an atmosphere of festivity and good spirit during this special event and I can... More

For the past few years our company has been using Hillcrest House as our first choice year after year for the annual Home Hardware conference held in St. Jacobs, during a time at which finding a room, let alone a hotel in 50 sq KM is a challenge, we managed to stumble upon an available room a few years ago...

We stayed at Hillcrest based on reviews on this forum, and the proximity to shopping, etc. Perhaps we just came at the wrong time, the hosts were busy renovating the upper level and preparing for an upcoming conference. Main problem is with cleanliness. The stove tops were not cleaned the whole time we were there (7 days). Food remains from... More

Stefan and Wendy were gracious hosts. Their recommendation for dinner, and their home cooked breakfast were both excellent. Our room was large, quiet, and very comfortable. Highly recommended! More

We had an amazingly huge room (Bellinger) and Stefan kindly make up an extra bed for our daughter (no charge). The house is old and spacious with lofty ceilings and lovely mouldings. Lovingly restored and decorated by our hosts who really seem to love running their B&B (and will share their knowledge gladly). Breakfast is a feast to take you... More

Stayed here for a week with my boyfriend after coming from NYC. Roommate was renovating the bathroom so it was easier to be away from home. Our flight was delayed for four hours, but Stefan stayed up and waited for us - and then, because I had work first thing in the morning, woke up early to cook us a... More

Our extended family stayed at Hillcrest for over a week during a difficult family time. Hillcrest House was a peaceful haven. Beautiful bedrooms to return to, great and amazing breakfasts to start your day. Welcoming, accomodating and flexible innkeepers, Stefan and Wendy could not do enough for us. With the hot July weather sitting out in their beautiful patio was... More

We so appreciate Wendy and Stef putting a fabulous graduation dinner for our son, family and friends.They opened their home to our family and made us feel like we were theirs. As long as we have reason to visit Waterloo or area this will be our choice of stay. We only wish we had discovered it sooner. Having stayed in... More
