Idlewyld Inn & Spa, WorldHotels Crafted

Gracious old mansion, renovated as a small hotel with lovely grounds. Beautiful part of "Old South," London, Ontario. Plenty of included parking. Generous included breakfast. This has become our home away from home when visiting London.

We had a few days in town as a couple, and really enjoyed our time at the hotel. We were met with a lovely welcome at reception. Our room was spacious, the beds were so comfortable, and the sheets and pillows were clearly very good quality. The restaurant was very nicely appointed, the wait staff very professional and friendly (thank you Sue, we really felt cared for), and, the food was delicious. The buffet breakfast was hot, flavourful, and fresh. We liked having the Nespresso in the room, and really appreciated that we could also get decaf pucks for it too. The building is filled with beautiful antiques, historic decor, and lots of comfortable nooks and crannies. We did not use the spa, as we were also visiting family, but if it is anything like the rest of the place, it will be beautiful and well run. A great place if you want something different from the usual travellers hotels. Oh, should mention, the area surrounding is very walkable, and there is a nice little village about 1k walk away (.6 of a mile). Parking is plentiful.

This is a charming boutique hotel in a historic neighborhood with old world charm and a beautifully restored dining room. The breakfasts were wonderful and staff were very friendly. We will definitely return.
