    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.

    We really enjoyed our stay at this new bed & breakfast!…read moreSylvia opened her place this spring and by the time we spent the weekend here in August, everything was running very smoothly. We booked the Burdock room, which was cozy and very clean. There was a small fridge for guest use in the hallway that also had water and soda. I really appreciated how many local products were used - there's a tea station with lots of variety and all kinds of local honey, the flowers on the breakfast table were grown in PEC, the fruits and vegetables came from PEC, their neighbour makes the bread. All these little touches made it memorable, and we even sought out some of these producers to bring gifts home. In fact, we wanted to get some of the French tea she was serving and without us having to ask, she called the neighbouring B&B/store that sells it to make sure they were already open as we headed out. The breakfast was very big and very tasty! There was homemade granola (that was honestly better than the one I make...) and oven-baked tomatoes with omelette. There's a table with brochures that included free sample cards to a lot of wineries, take a look before you head out to visit them. The property also includes an outdoor pool that we didn't have time to try. The owners have a dog and a cat so be prepared in case you're allergic. Both beasts were perfectly friendly and fun to pet. We had some trouble finding the place at first, the GPS thought it's further west from the highway on Wilson Road, it's actually between Highway 62 and County Road 1, so if you're going there, be aware. I'd love to stay here again next time we're in Prince Edward County!

    Amazing experience at the Mystic Dandelion. Silvia and Sebastian are wonderful hosts. They even…read moreleft a surprise for a special occasion. The breakfasts were gourmet with huge portions. Silvia makes a lot of things at home such as almond milk and uses fresh local ingredients. They have a cute dog named Nanook and a cat. The house itself is renovated and everything is modern with a touch of vintage. Very clean place. They also have beach towels and a pool. They have a fridge upstairs as well for guests. Silvia is helpful with her recommendations for local restaurants, wineries, etc. would highly recommend this B&B and we would definitely stay again.

    The Braddock Point Lighthouse offers a uniquely not to be missed B and B experience…read more Lighthouse keepers Larissa and Casey have restored the house to breathlessly beautiful Victorian Splendor with exquisite attention to detail down to the knife rests at table and heart shaped poached eggs at breakfast which was as delicious as it was artfully presented. Guests are greeted with ice tea and brownies, and offered s'mores around a fire-pit at night. The panoramic view of Lake Ontario offers unparralled vistas of sunrises and sunsets. Sat for 2 hours of blissful serenity enjoying the lake breezes, and gentle sound of water against the shore. Actor/Director Casey's very personal tour of the lighthouse was informative and charming as he regaled us with stories of keepers of the past century and the maritime history of the light as we climbed the circular stairs to the top. An entirely unforgettable experience, we hated to leave.

    Inviting, tranquil, unique. The hosts have done an outstanding job restoring this lighthouse, and…read moreputting together its fascinating history. Incredible attention to detail, very clean accommodations. Naturally, the hosts were very friendly and attentive. The Coleman room has a window on either side, one facing Lake Ontario, the other facing the beautiful front lawn. You can roll over and see the water in the morning. There's a small TV above the closet. Breakfast each morning was delicious and filling. Take the tour! The only thing to be mindful of is AT&T's signal is not strong inside the house.
