Yes, the room was spotless. Plenty of very nice little extras in the in-room fridge and cabinets, nice to have two places to lounge in. Continental breakfast was more than adequate. Very nice indeed. Jodi is an excellent host. Very understanding and works with the guest very well, to make sure the guest gets the best situation possible.

Lovely historic home that is well loved and it is apparent. We were here for two of the coldest nights of the year yet it was so cozy and inviting. Jodi was lovely and answered our enquires immediately. The breakfast was good and there were a lot of choices. The room had a few extras such as granola bars and flavoured water which were a nice touch. The website is excellent and gives you things to do in the area which was much appreciated.

We really enjoyed our week at the Bristow Inn. Comfortable and cozy accommodations. We love being able to relax and read or play games in the common areas when we were not off exploring. Will definitely book again.

Thank you so much for your warm hospitality and for all the thoughtful touches you prepared for our welcome and breakfast. Everything was truly appreciated.

On an annual trip to area with my friend. We enjoyed our stay very much. We were pleasantly surprised with the room and the self serve breakfast options. We were not in our room much except for evenings but we enjoyed watching movies and snacking on popcorn provided by the hosts. Also enjoyed playing cards that were available. Travelers have to keep an open mind that this is an older home therefore don’t expect perfection. The home is exactly as it should be represented. Definitely stay there again if in the area for future trips. Wonderful stay!

The stay was fine, the bed was not good at all. The mattress felt like sleeping on a piece of plywood. The bed frame was rustic but very noisy with any movements and not ideal to sleep on.

We stayed at this property for the first time. We stayed for 2 nìghts in the Fall. My husband loves hisyory and antiques. Thus, we gave this inn a try. It is a beautiful historic property. Pictures on the wall tells the history of the house. Interior decorations also reflect its time in history. This inn is clean and quiet. The only thing I don't like is the squeaky beds in our room and the thinly covered top half of the window with lacey materials. The sunrise literally wakes you up.

Liked the history of the property. Enjoyed our visit as it was close to amenities and was quiet and safe. Twin bed was squeaky and the double bed was comfortable but difficult to get into as very high. ? Issues with the coffee maker as it shut off several times. We appreciated the fact that the Bistrow was pet friendly.

The room was very clean. We were unable to enjoy the breakfast as it was scheduled for 8 to 10 a.m. which later than our planned departure to get to the St. Jacob's Farmer's Market for it's opening time at 7:00 a.m. An earlier offering of the breakfast would have been better for our stay.
