    The Summerhill tea room is beautifully decorated with many quaint UK items to check out…read more Unfortunately that is greatly over shadowed by horribly over priced cafeteria-tasting food, and the worst service we have ever experienced. My mother, grandmother and myself went to Summerhill tea room for their high tea and were very disappointed. We stole menus,cutlery and napkins from the canisters on neighboring tables as there were non on our table. The menu selection was very small. We decided to order the high tea. High tea for three ~39.00 + tax. In addition we decided to also order each a side of soup and Irish bread for $3.95 + tax The menu said "a selection of sandwiches, crumpets and desserts." We received less than a half sandwich each, 1 tart and 1 crumpet. Our hot water for our tea had not yet reached a boil. We waited 80 minutes for our food. The waitress forgot our tea that was included. I had to go into the back and ask her for our tea. There was no one in the tea room but us during our entire time there (2+hours). When we first arrive an elderly couple and their grandchild were preparing to leave the cafe. Their table went uncleaned until our food was brought out to our table (80 minutes). At the time to pay we tracked down our waitress again in the back room and asked for the bill. She then stood at our table, waiting for us to split our bill. The food was terrible, especially for the price we paid. Our total came to $63.00 + change. I ordered the cauliflower and nutmeg soup. It was very bland, and chunky. I have never seen or tasted cauliflower soup such as this. It was less than 1 cup on soup in a small tea cup. The soup itself tasted like a stewed sock. The Irish bread was moist but was baked with way too much salt and all three of us opted to leave it on our plates. The high tea "sandwich" consisted of one triangle piece of stale bread with 3 thin slices of cucumber atop it. No seasoning, no cream cheese. Nothing. One oddly cut circle of stale bread smaller than my palm with a spoonful of egg salad atop it. No seasoning, very bland again. And one 1" by 1" square stale bread with salmon and a top on it. The 1 crumpet we got each was the only part I enjoyed. Although I suspect it was purchased, not fresh baked. The small 1.5" custard tart on top was also tasty and I suspect store bought. After our "high tea" we headed downtown to another restaurant where we had a lovely lunch as we were very hungry upon leaving Summerhill. A huge disappointment all around. As someone with experience with high tea in Glasgow Scotland I was highly disappointed and very embarrassed to have suggested this location to my guests. This has, at least, created an experience that I think we will laugh about for a long time. The giggling kept us fairly entertained for the 2+ hours in the tea room.

    My obsession with tea time runs deep. Hell, I'm throwing a tea themed event this Wednesday…read more From my days of plastic cups of air with a group of intellectual stuffed toys in 1988, to using credit cards (with a wish and a prayer) to pay for Devonshire cream and tea surrounded by old birds in London, to High Tea at the Banff Fairmont. I will do just about anything to get in front of adorably stacked snacks, heart-warming liquids and good company. Summerhill B&B is the most casual, kitschy tea time I've ever experienced, but it's still special enough to merit five stars. The scones, tarts and cucumber sandwiches were aces. They overdo the fish sandwiches a little bit (tuna sandwiches are just kind of blah), but the overall atmosphere (ran by an actual English woman) is so cute I'll let it slide.

    Think twice about booking here as you cannot guarantee you'll have a room when you show up. The…read moreservice and professionalism at this resort is despicable. My fiancé and I booked and prepaid a room on May 10th for the evening of July 30th for a friend's wedding in the area. On July 20th my fiancé sent in email to the owner Peter asking for confirmation of our check in time. Four days later (July 24th), which is now 6 days before our scheduled arrival, we received an email from Peter saying that they have cancelled our reservation with less than a weeks' notice as they had overbooked. It's clear that if we hadn't even asked for our check in time, we would have shown up to this resort on our expected check in day to find out that we do not have accommodations for our close friend's wedding. I don't even understand how a BnB can even overbook rooms other than complete incompetence. They didn't even bother to call us. When we called them to figure this out they treated us as if our business was not valued in any way. I'm sorry but for an employee to treat customer that way is unacceptable and a very bad business practice. Unfortunately for you, your customers business is the only thing that matters. Otherwise you have to close your doors. You have willingly lost a customer who had already paid you and will never get their business again. I work hard for my money and therefore, I only do business with people or organizations that value each and every customer. If you like to wastefully give money to people who do not value you as a customer then this is the place for you.

    I was in town to see the show by The Process Theatre Company (behind the Big Apple), and we stayed…read moreat Colborne Guest House. We had, quite simply, a lovely time. The rooms are large and airy. I was pleasantly surprised that there is both a bedroom and a spacious sitting room. Also there is a desk to do a little work while on holiday. Naturally, they have wifi and it was fast. The rooms are very private so you have your own space to be in. They're clean, modern and extremely comfortable with lovely, comfortable furniture throughout. The bathroom (shared between only 2 units) is spacious, modern and very clean. There is plenty of hot water for the shower. I mention things being modern because the house has a lot of history but the inside is remodeled for comfort. The gardens out back are spectacular. My wife and I took several romantic walks in the gardens and sat on the patio to enjoy the sunset. I wish I had a backyard like this at home. Speaking of things I wish I had at home... the bed was more comfortable than my bed back at home. It's an old fashioned bed with a new, top quality mattress. Also, the sheets and blankets were incredibly soft... the kind I'm always tempted to buy but don't want to spend the money. Very luxurious. Finally, the breakfast is terrific! Orlando, the owner has a little chat with you the night before about what you like and don't like and he does his best to make sure you get a good start to your day with a good selection of hot & cold foods. I really can't say enough about this place! I had a wonderful time and will be back. It's my go-to place when I'm in the area.
