Liftlock B&B has a country farm feel. The dogs, deer, geese, chickens, open fields, dead end road, and even the architectural style all give the illusion of being on a farm. But it’s only an illusion – downtown Peterborough is only 2 miles away. Definitely a place to get away from the crowds and still be very close to town.

We stayed in one of the cottage suites. It was spacious and clean, but not luxurious; overall quiet and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent. Doreen is an excellent and engaging hostess who treats her guests well.

The on-site canoeing and boat dock are uncommon features for a B&B. We arrived too late to paddle, but the flatwater canoeing certainly looked attractive.

We selected the "Parkview" at Liflock B&B, one of three private suites available and were very pleased with the quiet, restful location and the well-appointed room with its TV, a/c,
bar fridge, microwave, tables and chairs, and comfortable pillowtop queen sized bed.
The manager, Ms. Doreen Davies, looked after all our needs very well,and in the morning served us a delicious breakfast in the main dining area which looks out onto the heated swimming pool. Liflock B&B was a relaxing break in our 6 day driving trip and we look forward to visiting there again.

After driving several hours, we arrived at 8:45 p.m. in July. We had communicated with the owner right before leaving home, and had told her when we would arrive, and that's exactly when we arrived. She met us at the door with vileness and unpleasantness, and we immediately left. We drove home through the night. It was a nightmare.

Usually I do not like BB's. Privacy, parking etc. and I feel like I am intruding. Not this time. The room is located in a small cottage with a private entrence, Where the business is located there is no traffic, and is quite surreal for your only minutes from downtown.. The room was clean with all the amenties including wireless internet for the daughter. There was free access to a heated pool, free use of the canoes, Doreen is the hostess and she made recommendaations about area sites to visit. She provided excellent breakfasts and introduced my daughter to her pet goose, deer and her dogs. The wife enjoyed the privacy. My stay at Liftlock BB was more like staying at a remote cottage and was very enjoyable.
