“An excellent experience - Mackechnie House”

Reviewed 7 May 2013

A 173 year old house with 9 - 10 foot ceilings, beautifully decorated, and quiet and peaceful. Cathryn (the owner) is a superb host and provides an excellent breakfast. We definitely will be coming back to Mackechnie House and we highly recommend it.

“Wonderful Place to Stay”

Reviewed 30 October 2012

The Mackechnie House is a beautiful, comfortable home. Cathryn, the owner, besides making her guests feel so comfortable and at home, is an excellent gourmet cook. It was a real treat to stay in a historical mansion. and her breakfast the next morning was out of the ordinary, so so delicious. The location was very convenient to the pretty beach... More

“Food, Giggles & Fun”

Reviewed 21 October 2012

Cathryn did not disappoint as my mother, sister and I returned for another visit last Christmas. We decided to have a late dinner lesson and it was so much fun. I highly recommend the cooking lessons because Cathryn is a wealth of information and lovely to chat with. We were shown how to make a lovely rosemary shortbread, pan fried... More

“Gracious and Comfortable - Recommended”

Reviewed 1 October 2012

MacKechnie House is a lovely B&B in Cobourg, Ontario. The house is on a side street in a residential area that is very quiet and attractive, and quite simple to find. The house is large and gracious, and the bedrooms are beautifully furnished in keeping with the 1880s epoch of the house. The bedrooms (and our bed) are comfortable, the... More

“I would stay again”

Reviewed 15 August 2012

Our hostess Kathryn was delightful and very helpful. She recommended local businesses we needed and did not steer us wrong. Breakfast was good and the coffee was excellent. If we have a need to visit Cobourg again, we will stay here.

“Great Girls Getaway!”

Reviewed 27 June 2012

Amazing night at the Mackechnie House! The breakfast in the morning was out of this world! My only complaint is that there was no shutter/curtain on the window which in the morning let in the sun and woke me up:( I will most definitely stay here again!

I am so sorry about the (too) early morning sun but all the rooms have curtains or shutters except the room on the third floor with the half moon windows. I assume that was the problem room - not sure how I can find coverings for this unusual shape but will try to come up with a solution. Thank you... More

Reviewed 2 May 2012

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

“Great Stay at Mackechnie House”

Reviewed 8 April 2012

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!

“Disappointed”

Reviewed 3 October 2011

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
