We had originally booked the MacKechnie House for our wedding party for later in July at a time when I was rather stressed as the entire town was starting to book up, and we were worried we might not have room for all our guests. Cathryn was nothing but helpful, going over and above to help me with my questions,... More

I stayed over just one night to break up a long drive from Windsor to Ottawa. Cathryn was a great hostess, especially her cooking. She prepared a fantastic breakfast & even went out to pick up chocolate to make hot chocolate. I'd highly recommend Mackechnie House! More

Planned this weekend away with my daughter so that we could be pampered by the advertised exquisit home, it's location to the town and , more importantly, the gourmet food. The house is lovely and large and the room (Mrs. Fortune) was big but we felt that it lacked a few comforts - no kettle for tea and coffee in... More

We want to say how much we enjoyed our stay with you at your wonderful Mackechnie House Bed and Breakfast. Your location is superb so close to the waterfront board walk, in minutes we were in a completely different space far from the rush of day to day life. We enjoyed our walks, over 20 km in the two days... More

WE are a family of 3 who stayed at this Bed and Breakfast for one week and loved our stay. Cathryn was an amazing cook..........made us East Indian Cuisine on one of our nights and it was delicious. We stayed in the Flat upstairs and it was perfect for us. The rooms were super clean and very comfortable. The beds... More

My sister had stayed at the Inn in the summer and raved about it. We arrived on Saturday afternoon after our spa day and met Cathryn and her husband Ian. We were shown to our rooms, my mother and sister stayed in the Mrs.Fortune room and I stayed in a smaller room beside them (sorry I can't recall the name).... More

We stayed at MacKechnie for 2 nights in the Gatsby Room on the ground floor. Cathryn couldn't have been more friendly and as cat lovers we had the pleasure of Sherman her kitten sleeping with us for a while - don't worry it was our choice but it's not compulsory! The room was spacious, the bed super comfy and we... More

Last minute reservation on a weekend getaway. Room was musty, linens and furnishings worn. Advertised King was converted twins pushed together - bed was then too short. Advertised air conditioning was not offered, although needed. Innkeeper was kind enough to provide a guest requested extension cord in order to plug in a small cooling fan and the guest's CPAP machine.... More

Of course I took part in a conversation about catering which happened to be a topic of common interest. One of the nicest things about Bed and Breakfasts is getting to know people. The “worn” furnishings in my home are antique and are integral to a historic property. The bed linens are of high quality and are replaced regularly. Two... More

I was scheduled to be in town for business and needed to find a place to stay. I settled on this B&B and was very pleased with my choice. The owner / operators, where very hospitable and the house itself has a really nice feel to it. The best way to describe it would be to call it a country... More
