Then you will greeted by the most wonderful inn keepers around. Dianne and Jeff are two extremely energetic and thoughtful individuals. They respect your privacy and are so welcoming into their home. Here comes the best part. The rooms! If you are there strictly to sleep, the upstairs have 2 rooms with ensuite bathrooms. There is a wrap around deck that overlooks Miller Lake. If you are like me though, you may want to spend some time in your vacation home... this is where the Moondance suite will come into play. Its in the lower level and comes complete with a living room, wood stove, bar, bathroom with Sauna (safari inspired!) and then the best part, a private hot tub that over looks the sunset over miller lake! There is also a BBQ to cook a delicious meal on. You will wake up in the morning to the smell of amazing homemade muffins / baked goods baking in the oven. Dianne will then shower you with some of the best breakfast cooking ever. She makes a mean Eggs Benedict, a delicious Pancakes with a Banana and walnut glaze, and a fabulous Frittata. You will never leave with an empty stomach. One last thing I should mention.. the soap is made from goats milk (www.theudderfarm.com) which leaves your skin so soft and the bed sheets are so comfortable, its like taking a nap on cloud 8. The price is right and Tobermory is a cool vacation destination.. so head on over to Cloud 8 and be sure to say hi to Dianne and Jeff for me!

Stayed here for two nights with some friends the last week of August. There were 8 of us in total,…read more4 adults and 2 kids ranging from age 8 to 12. We booked the two largest rooms in the house, the Lighthouse and Woodland. The total was $265.55 for the Lighthouse ($165 + $70 for the additional 2 kids + tax) nightly. Our room was ready on schedule for the 4pm check-in. It was nicely decorated with a nautical theme in a lovely blue colour motif. It had a double bed and 2 twin beds as well as a couch, and full bathroom. Doug and Tracy are lovely hosts, warm and friendly. The breakfast food was delicious and the dishes were beautifully presented as you can see from the photos. Forgot to take pictures of the second breakfast because we were too busy eating!! It was so convenient having water activities available right in the backyard. There are canoes, kayaks, and paddle-boards, so plenty to choose from for everyone. Just sign a waiver and off you go. There are some life jackets available but if you have your own, bring them along. There is also a campfire for guests to use but unfortunately we were rained out so wasn't able to enjoy it. The rain did not dampen our spirits though and we were able to go on a walk to Sauble Falls which is 5 minutes from the B & B. Though Sauble Falls is no Niagara, it is still quite pretty with a waterfall that reminds you of steps. Suable beach is quite a long stretch of sand. It was much too cold and windy to go into the water because of the weirdly rainy chilly weather but the kids had fun running around the shore and because of the crappy weather, the beach was quite empty. For other meals we ate at Sola's Grill. Their stone oven pizza is quite good. We also tried Channing Restaurant which had Chinese/Canadian dishes. There aren't a whole lot of options in terms of restaurants in Sauble but if you plan ahead, you can arrange to have dinner at the B&B for an additional fee. Some of the other guests we met during our stay have been staying at this B&B for years and have had Doug prepare their dinners. They only had high praises for the meals they've had in the past. We enjoyed leisurely evenings in the common area where guests can lounge on the couch and and make use of the games and books they had on hand. It was a nice mini vacation from the city. The location is convenient as we were able to check out many small towns (eg. Southhampton, Weirton, Goderich, etc.) just a short drive away. Overall, a great trip despite the unseasonably cold weather!

If you're looking for accommodations in the Owen Sound, Ontario area, or if you're just travelling…read morethrough and need a place to stay, I highly recommend The Highland Manor. I spent four nights there, and I couldn't have asked for a nicer place or a more congenial host. I was in town for a wedding, and after looking at the listings for some of the hotels, including the highly rated Best Western Inn on the Bay, I decided to stay at The Highland Manor. I liked the idea of staying in a home-like setting, with fewer rooms than a hotel and more personalized service. The Inn is historic in architecture and design and the decorations evoke a time period from the past. I stayed in The Moore room, as I was travelling with my cousin and we wanted a room with two beds. The room was immaculate, spacious, and the beds were very comfortable. We were given clean soft fluffy bathroom towels daily, a far cry from hotel towels. I had an opportunity to look in the other rooms after guests had checked out, and they were all beautiful. Breakfast was a highlight of our stay. The food was freshly prepared, depending on when we came down to eat, rather than being pre-cooked and waiting for us at a certain hour. We had seasonal fruit each morning of our stay, and our various breakfasts consisted of items such as pancakes (some of the best I've ever had), baked eggs and French toast. The portions were plentiful. One day, we also had a delicious cheese bread, made specifically for the inn by a local baker. Linda, our host, was personable and friendly and had a wealth of knowledge of the area. She was extremely helpful regarding our needs or questions, and she made a point of asking if we had any special dietary restrictions or allergies, in addition to asking if there was anything we needed during our stay. It was so nice to chat with her. The inn, which is also her personal home, is beautifully appointed with period pieces We enjoyed sitting in the grand parlor/library where the TV is located, as well as the outdoor covered porch. The Highland Manor is located in a nice, quiet residential area. We enjoyed walks in the neighborhood. When we went to the Best Western for wedding activities, we noticed it was in a more industrial area, and while it was located on Georgian Bay, we would not have felt comfortable walking outside the hotel perimeter in the evening. I'm looking forward to my next stay in Owen Sound, and the Highland Manor will be the first place I call.

The hosts were super, they were attentive when needed, and helpful with directions and suggestions on things to do. We loved the homemade breakfasts and the attention to detail. Got to have fun talks over breakfast and then head out on adventures in the area. Our trip here was to reach a friends wedding in Sudbury and we decided to have a vacation along the way. We stayed for 2 wonderful nights and got to enjoy the peaceful nature around Tobermory. Consider the Forest house as your B&B of choice in Tobermory :)
