“Romantic and quiet, simply a great winter re'treat'!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 February 2009

We stayed at the Blue Lion in the past when it was a B&B. We wanted to go back for Valentine's Day, but found out it was now a vacation rental. so..we decided to book it and LOVED it!

Niagara-on-the-Lake in the winter is so romantic and quiet. One night we bundled up and called the Horse and Buggy. It picked us up right at the front door and took us to dinner. The next night we walked over to the local grocery store and picked up some cheese, meats, breads and veggies. We just cuddled up in the living room and watch the snow fall out the front window. Beautiful!!!

“Very Friendly”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 August 2007

We just called into the Blue Lion B&B on the off chance they might have a room for ourselves and teenage son. They had just had a cancellation and were fortunately able to accommodate us.
We had a beautiful room with a huge bed and lovely en-suite. A pull out bed was made up for our son which was great. Breakfast was outside, with the other guests, in the garden. Which we really enjoyed and was a chance to talk to other guests visiting from Canada and USA. We were able to borrow bicycles from the B&B to cycle round Niagara-on-the-Lake - which is a beautiful perfect little town. We had a fabulous stay, really relaxing, and cannot fault the hospitality we received at this fantastic B&B.

Stayed July 2007

“Average accomodations”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2006

My partner and I had stayed in at the Blue Lion for one night in November. The Blue Lion's location could not have been better. It is steps away from the Main Street, and walking distance to just about everything nearby.

The Blue Lion B&B rooms are quite nice. We stayed in the largest room, and although the furniture and decor was quite nice; the room was absolutely freezing which detracted from our stay. There was a little heater that we used, but found that the old house had poor insulation.

The breakfast was okay. We had a two course breakfast with a corn flake granola as an appetizer and an apple pancake as the main.

Overall, the Blue Lion is an average B & B at Niagara on the Lake, and its location cannot be beat. However, for the actual value and experience, I would recommend shopping around.

“A wonderful B & B!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 August 2006

This attractive, clean B & B is just off the main street, extremely convenient to the theaters and shopping, yet quiet and peaceful. Bernadette makes one of the best B & B breakfasts I've ever had, creative and substantial. Hopefully she'll make her amazing biscotti while you are there. Our stay (3 nights) at the Blue Lion couldn't have been nicer!
