“Perfect for Romance and Relaxation!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2011

My husband and I stayed at Angel's Rest November 12/11 for an anniversary getaway. I had read wonderful comments about this B&B and the online pictures spoke volumes of it's cleanliness and beauty. We were most excited about being on the water. We were very fortunate to be the only couple staying in the B&B that night, we stayed in the "Cherub's Hideaway" on the lower level at the back of the dwelling. It was very peaceful, quiet, and overlooked the river, so it was perfect. Upon entering the room, the gas fireplace was on providing an instant "cozy" feeling, and there was soft romantic music playing in the mini stereo which was on the kitchenette counter. Very nice touch, made us feel very welcome. The room was very spacious and very clean ... beautiful linens, very comfortable bed, kitchenette with all the necessities, and even juice with a small cheese/cracker/berry plate for a light snack. We enjoyed the spacious jacuzzi while watching t.v. (much to my husband's delight the t.v. was in view of the jacuzzi AND the bed!!) The location of this B&B is perfect to enjoy a nice dinner in downtown Peterborough, shop, tour around.
The breakfast Sunday morning was AMAZING. Homemade french toast, bacon, maple syrup, and berries with cream ... YUMMY!! Delivered right to our room on time (Marianne asks what time you would like breakfast when you book the room).
We had a lovely chat with Marianne before we headed home Sunday, she kindly gave us the opportunity to stay longer ('til 1:00 instead of normal checkout time @ 11:00), unfortunately we had to leave, but certainly appreciated her kindness.
We will definitely return, and would recommend this B&B in an instant. We have stayed in many hotels and resorts, and this one is one of the nicest. Thank you Marianne! My husband says, "can we return for breakfast EVERY Sunday?!"

“Can't wait to go back”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2011

This is an absolutely beautiful retreat. We stayed one night (not long enough!) in the "Cherub's Hideaway" suite and it was a perfect getaway...very peaceful and relaxing. The owner, Marianne, is a very gracious hostess who really looks after the details. We loved it there and plan on returning in the spring/summer to take advantage of the outdoor patio.

Dear Value Guest,
THANK YOU so much for writing about us! So many of our guests are repeat customers it's terrific to see a posting actually titled that "We Will be Back""..... We've always felt that word-of-mouth was not only the most economical form of advertising, but also the most truthful without bias, so for us, it's great to see that on tripadvisor! Thank you kindly for taking the time to write a review, can wait to welcome you again to share our Private Jacuzzi& Fire Place Suite.
Warm Regards
Marianne

“Oasis of Peace and Tranquility”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 November 2011

We recently spent our third two night stay at Angels Rest in the Peaceful Waters suite. The recent renovations are bellisima. Our tenth wedding anniversary was romantically enhanced by the spa jacuzzi bath with mosaic tile angel mural, the two sided fireplace enjoyed from both living room and bed room. The window seats in both rooms overlooking the Otonabee River with ducks geese chipmunks squirrels and the like to amuse below. Mariannes culinary breakfast delights were a mucho bona addition since our last two very special visits our wedding and fourth year wedding anniversary. We thank you Marianne for your hospitality and for introducing us to Shiloh and your kitty (sorry not sure how to spell name). We leave with thoughts of when we may return.

“Peaceful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2011 via mobile

My partner and I visted Peterborough twice recently and on the second trip we were fortunate to find Angel's Rest. What a perfect retreat! We have stayed in b&b's in other provinces/states but this really was a special treat.
We stayed in the "Secret Garden" with a comfy bed, nice fireplace, fully stocked kitchenette with special treats of homemade muffins and fresh fruit. Marianne, the owner was a delight and we made a special bond with her four legged, furry sons.
Not sure when we will be going back to Peterborough but Angel's Rest will be where we will stay?

“New home away from home......”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

We have lived in Peterborough for many years - I have heard numerous times how beautiful Angels Rest is. My husband and I lead a very hectic life that includes a daughter with disabilities, 2 young grandsons, a Labrador puppy, careers, etc.....we try to get away for a weekend at least every 2 months to reconnect with each other. We usually travel to distant inns that take away part of our alone time with travel so a few weeks ago we decided to try Angels Rest . We have a precious, romantic hideaway right here in Peterborough. When we arrived there was a Welcome note on the door to our room.....Marianne greeted us warmly and showed us around our room. The room was very cozy with a fireplace, jacuzzi tub, a beautiful queen size bed and a small kitchenette. The setting, on the shore of the Trent river, was very quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed a lovely evening with friends returning to Angels Rest for a great nights sleep. Marianne provided a tasty breakfast that filled us for the day - she even gave us a doggie bag so we could take home our leftovers to our puppy! We hear that Marianne's breakfast specialty is French Toast ,so we now have to return in order to form our own opinion.
We had a great stay at Angels Rest and plan to return very soon!

Room Tip: We stayed in the Secret Garden room. Apparently the other 2 rooms face the water adding a little mo...
