“Wonderful Stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

Helena is a wonderful host: personable, accommodating and helpful. Her home and rooms are beautifully furnished. She has a very eclectic and interesting collection of antiques. My partner stayed in the Gauguin room. It was gorgeous. The room was spotless, super clean. Our bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was delicious! We felt very comfortable here and look forward to coming back for another weekend getaway. Staying here is a real treat! I definitely recommend this B and B!

It was my first time at a bed and breakfast and i was i little against the idea. But This was great.Changed the way i see bed and breakfast. Helena ( the host and owner )made the whole thing. She is great. She is an educated world class chef. Her breakfast is amazing. She knows all the best restaurants around the area and where to find the best wine. I was blow away by every place she sent us too. On top of that she is very wise about the history of niagara and the history of her own house. Great stories..The house is great. I loved it. Cant' say anymore, you have to experience this..I will definetly be back..Love ya Helena..

“A beautiful home and a wonderful host!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011

This house is stunning! The rooms were furnished beautifully and I loved looking at all the antiques everywhere throughout the house - it really is a treasure chest! We stayed in the french quarters which was very spacious and lovely beds! The breakfast in the morning was amazing! I dont understand how anyone can fault the breakfast.. french toast, syrup, bacon and icing sugar - delicious! The hostess is a fantastic cook and I always looked forward to breakfast each morning as she would change it each day (pancakes were my favourite).
The area is perfect, close to the falls and surrounding villages which are worth the trip as they are very pretty and great food! Ask helena for suggestions as they were spot on and delicious food!
Thank you for an amazing weekend!

As for all the negative reviews - your crazy! The reviewer who said they only wanted to stay for 1 night and give their friends the room the next night ( which can I point out the host could not do for hygiene reasons) - go to a hotel for a night not a B&B and stop complaining!

“BEST B AND B EVER WITH THE ADDED BONUS OF HELENA!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 November 2011

person found this review helpful

Just read the previous person review of this property and cannot believe they are talking about the same place that we stayed in.

We have never stayed in a B & B before but decided that rather than staying in some souless hotel chain that we would like to experience the world of Bed and Breakfasts. We travelled from Australia where we have been living for the past six years to celebrate my daughters 21st birthday in New York and then travel up to Niagara. I thought the French Quarter was just perfect as we hired the whole floor so that we were all together and Helena had warned me when booking from Oz that there was only a claw bath in the room. My daughters boyfriend who is 6ft 4 did not have any problem in the bathroom cleaning his teeth!!!

Helena was the most entertaining host I have encountered with the added bonus of being a fantastic cook. We have extensively travelled the world and we all love food and live to eat!! and found the breakfasts amazing. Her local knowledge of restaurants were spot on. She recommended a restaurant in Niagara Fall Village which looked very ordinary from the outside but upon entering was a fantastic cordon bleu restaurant with fantastic food, wine and ambiance.

The ice winery at Inniskillen was a great find and we managed to get all our purchases plus the reidel wine glasses back to Perth in One piece going via New York, London, Dubai and finally Perth.

Thank you Helena for a wonderful two days and our first experience of B and B's.
If you are ever in Perth, please give us a call, I left my card on the dresser
