I would wholeheartedly recommend this B&B for just about anyone, of any demographic, who's looking…read morefor a nice weekend in Stratford. The location is ideal. Close to downtown yet still in a quiet, sleepy residential area of its own. It's a longer walk from the train station (our walk wasn't helped by a -36C blizzard!), but still within reasonable walking distance (I'd say 25 mins max). Making a reservation was easy. Koleen & Ron responded immediately and confirmed our booking. At $110 a night, The Jester Room was a steal. There's no tv, and the room isn't giant, but the comfort couldn't be beaten. The bed was large and luxurious, the bathroom was perfectly appointed and there was plenty of closet and mirror space. There was even a complementary bottle of Merlot as well as chocolates and wine waiting for us in the room! (I assume this was a Valentine's special). Just outside the room there was a mini bar and a myriad of bath and shower items to pick from. The wifi was fast and consistent and there were some really fun and interesting books and magazines left in the room (Famous Quotes about Canada, for example). The breakfast of fresh fruit, yoghurt, sausage eggs benedict and tea/coffee was absolutely delicious. Our hosts made stimulating and thoroughly enjoyable company and gave us invaluable information about the Shakespeare festival on in the summer. We are making it a point to return to Stratford in May and will definitely be staying here for our next visit.

We stayed in The Garden Room, which Michael had told me was due to be renovated. We found it to be charming and extremely comfortable. The bed was two twins pushed together with a memory foam to make a King and dressed with a cloud-like duvet and the nicest pillows I've slept on. Lying in bed, you can see the garden and the fall leaves coming down. The room was located on the main floor off the parlour and it felt as though we had the whole place to ourselves. We had a game of chess and some wine between the play and our dinner reservation and a nice chat with Michael on the comfortable couch. The property is gorgeous with a heated pool that we obviously couldn't use since it was late October, and a newly built gazebo. The house, itself, built in 1872 is stately and charming. It really stands out as one of the most distinctive homes on the street. It was a short and beautiful walk to the Theater and our dinner reservation. The coffee in the morning was fabulous and Anna's breakfast was delicious-- a strata of vegetables, bacon and cheese with English muffins, fruit and a warm fruit pastry. Michael kept our coffee cups full over conversation with the other guests who were funny and friendly. On our way out, they gave us some muffins and bottles of water for our foraging expedition. The hospitality provided by Anna and Michael was exceptional and I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again while in Stratford and would gladly recommend it to anyone. Next time, we'll have to book the balcony room and go when the pool is open!

We were on our way home in heavy rush hour traffic when the owner called and instructed the driver to turn around and go back to the airport because someone had just called looking for a ride. It added an extra 30 minutes to our trip home. The owner was incredibly rude about it saying we got what we paid for so we shouldn't complain.

As for the actual space, the attractions were spread about - think mini pop-ups leading up towards a bigger instalment that kind of combines all the previous scattered pop-ups. It seemed like something very grandiose when advertised, but fell a little bit short of expectations despite trying to come in with low expectations. I'm not entirely sure if it was worth the 2 hour drive to get here, but at least I can say I showed up and got to see what Stratford had to offer for their annual yearly festivities during the winter season. Cheers to the start of 2025!

This was our first stay together at a Bed and Breakfast and we were thrilled beyond all expectations. The property itself is a wonderfully cared for 1873 Victorian mansion. The interior is a pleasant balance of eclectic and period appropriate décor, with stunning wallpaper and interesting knick-knacks throughout the edifice. We stayed in La Grande Chambre, and were extremely pleased with the layout, which included a well-appointed bathroom, and a nicely sized makeup area. Moving into the main bedroom, we were delighted with the comfortable king-size bed, a nicely carved wardrobe and a multitude of shaded windows. Each morning greeted us with a new breakfast menu with a couple of delicious choices, preceded by a scrumptious appetizer. Each day's breakfast ended up being a fun and tasty treat. The location of the inn was another pleasant surprise, as it is situated minutes away from the downtown area, and close to the Stratford Festival theatres. The inn is also a few steps away from the wonderful walking paths along the Avon river. Fortuitously, the Stone Maiden is tucked far enough out of the way that we felt sheltered from the hustle and bustle, which comes with a tourist city. All in all, the inn and meals were absolutely spectacular, yet they paled in comparison to the geniality of our host. Upon meeting Tim, we could tell that this was a man who loved his job and took pride in not only the inn but also the hospitality he offered to each of his guests. Tim radiated positivity and exuded all the qualities of a true hotelier. Tim and Johanne turned a great stay into a perfect one. Not only will we be back to the Stone Maiden Inn on our next trip to Stratford, we will recommend it to any that are looking to visit. Beata and James

Interestingly when I called their office several hours later to inquire why the refund had not come through I was told he had cancelled another customer's reservation. I guess we are not all perfect after all.
