“The best in Niagara-on-the-Lake!”

Harbour House Hotel

5 of 5 stars
Pickering, Ontario, Canada
Apr 20, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

My wife and I stayed at Harbour House April 16th to 18th. This was our 4th time staying at Harbour House so that should give you an indication of what we think of this hotel. We booked their "Babymoon" package (see their website for details).

Location: The hotel is not on the main strip of Niagara-on-the-Lake, but is well within walking distance (5-10 mins.). The hotel also has a shuttle service and is willing to take you pretty much everywhere. We were lucky to have great weather during our stay, so we walked the whole time.

Hotel room: All the rooms at the hotel are beautiful. Each room has a fireplace and beautiful bathrooms. Our bathroom had a 2 person whirlpool tub. The king sized bed was very comfortable, a warm duvet and plenty of pillows.

Staff: The staff here are great. They are extremely friendly and always willing to cater your every need. I have absolutely no complaints about the staff. They are the best that I have ever encountered.

Other items: The hotel has a complimentary breakfast each morning and it is nothing to sneeze at. Fresh fruit, baked goods, warm breakfast pie and smoked salmon. Each afternoon, they also have complimentary wine tasting. Each time we have been there, they have featured a different winery.

Overall, this is a fantastic property. I'm afraid to stay at any other hotel in the area, because I know what I would be missing at the Harbour House!!

“Wonderful!!!”

Harbour House Hotel

5 of 5 stars
Toronto
Apr 13, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

We received a giftcard for this place and were so excited after reading about it. Harbour House exceeded our expectations! The service was excellent. Well decorated room and reception area. There's a tingy porch area for you to sit and chat at night as well. Very friendly and helpful with telling us how to get around. Location is close to main shops.

Dinner at one of it's sister resturants(inns) was pretty good. The breakfast they offered was one of the best I've ever had in a hotel!!! Fresh fruit, yogurt, bread, cold cuts, cereal, smoked salmon (locs), baked apple dish and more! I wish all hotels had breakfast like theirs. A wonderful buffet breakfast to start the day.

The room was spacious, very comfortable bed, ability to borrow DVD's from Reception, very nice and modern bathroom with a jacuzzi tub, cozy fireplace...a very comfortable room that you almost don't want to leave! They even leave you a bag of delicious cookies for when you arrive.

There was a wine and cheese time. Don't expect much but it was nice to be able to try some of the local wine with a bit of cheese. Be sure to go on a local wine tour while you're there and enjoy the little shops and resturants.

Overall, a wonderful experience that I will continue to recommend! Definately worth the money.

“Fantastic weekend get-away!”

Harbour House Hotel

Mar 30, 2008

My husband and I took advantage of a Christmas gift package to Harbour House, this past Easter Weekend. What a FABULOUS Bed and Breakfast retreat!This is just what we needed - we left our 21 month-old with his grandparents, and took advantage of some 'couple' time before our second child arrives in 5 weeks. We truly couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable overnight stay. We received a great, warm welcome, got a tour of the premises, and stayed in a delightful room with a view of the boats and harbour. The selling features of our room were the whirlpool bathtub with California shutters that opened up to our room, a king-sized bed that was a little slice of Heaven to sleep in, and a gas fireplace and thermostat we could control whenever we wanted. A chocolate Easter bunny and home-made cookies were such a sweet treat when we settled into our room. We were driven by one of the staff, who told us about local history along the way, to The Charles Inn for dinner - what an exquisite meal - can't rave enough about it, and the overall experience there. We arrived too late from our tour of Peller Estates to take part in the one provided by Harbour House ( much to my husband's disappointment...), so we'd like to be able to 'try it out' next time we go! We slept solidly - wonderfully sound-proofed walls, no children ( although we love them), running through hallways, no patrons arriving in the wee hours of the morning, etc. Breakfast in the morning was simply decadent - everything home made, fresh and soooo good for a Sunday wake-up...blueberry bread pudding, scones, jams, hot cross buns, oatmeal, croissants, fresh meats...

This was a wonderful weekend away. We've told all our family and friends about Harbour House. The staff is so friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Of the 5 Ontario Inns we've been to over the last 4 years, this is undoubtedly our favourite.

“top notch nook”

Harbour House Hotel

5 of 5 stars
Rochester, New York
Mar 28, 2008

nice thing about competition is that it keeps everyone on their toes. the murray family (harbour house, shaw) is keeping the vintage group (prince of wales, pillar and post, queen's landing) honest. unfortunately, this contest is not keeping prices down, but quality is top-notch, although I still prefer the breakfast over to the Pillar and Post (Love those big english sausages). If only they had an indoor pool. The best part of all is they allowed our dog to room with us.

Our Harbour House stay was a wonderful experience. The temperature was freezing outside but everthing inside was warm and inviting. From the fire burning in the lovely front sitting room to the welcoming smiles of Mary and Gail at the desk...warm, inviting and accommodating. The room was beautiful...fireplace, luxurious bath and lovely linens. The breakfasts were perfect......fruit, cereal, baked goods and a different homemade dish each morning served in a comfortable breakfast room. Dinner at the Charles Inn was delicious and served to perfection as well. It was especially nice to be driven there and back by the hotel staff.This was off season for the town....we got great service everywhere! We hope to come back again soon!
