After spending a fabulous weekend in Ailsa Craig, Ontario for thanksgiving, my BF's father took us…read moreon an adventure to a cider house that was "close by". We drove for a few minutes in country time (20 minutes or so in the rest of the worlds time)... and we ended up at the most incredible cider house and orchard. Because we are fast approaching Halloween, the orchard was littered with pumpkins and halloween paraphernalia. Upon entering into the store, you are overwhelmed with fabulous candles, jams and kitschy country decorations. The second floor is what intrigued me.... Cider, Apple wine, (cysers) and delicious apple ice wine. The winemaker / cider maker here did a fabulous job of making a flavourful, dry fruit wine. And the price is great. If you can find the place, I recommend going there for a sunday drive. you will not be disappointed.

Eldon House is a walk from our hotel and downtown London area. It's a home where the Harris family…read morelived from 1834 and the home was donated in the mid 1900's and since been restored for viewing. The house different rooms and signs to explain the contents. The lower floor has many of the hunting trophies from the various animals killed in Africa by one of the grandsons. It also shows the servant's kitchen, sitting room with many artifacts from the travels around the world. Upstairs are various bedrooms and bathroom. A guide greeted us when we went into the house and there were only two other visitors. It's pay by donation at the front of the house. We spent less than an hour in the house but enjoyed reading and seeing the history of this prominent family.

The Eldon House is a great historical house museum. Admission is by donation ($5 suggested, but…read morepay what you will.) The house was donated to the city with most of the original belongings still in it, which is pretty rare for house museums. The tour is self guided, and you can wander about all of the rooms at your leisure. A guide greets you at the door, and gives you some background information. There are some interpretive panels as you go, but not an overwhelming amount of reading. It's very cool to see a fully furnished historical home set up as it would have been in the early 1900s. I especially liked seeing the kitchen, as well the children's play room (complete with creepy dolls!) Keep an eye out for the weird hunting trophies in the house -- and look for the elephant foot umbrella stand! (This is not a euphemism. It is a literal elephant foot that was turned into an umbrella stand.) During the summer they offer afternoon tea on the patio, and they run a variety of special events, lectures, tours, and classes throughout the year. The Eldon house is definitely worth a quick visit, if you're visiting or a local. I believe they also rent out the venue for private functions. They don't have their own parking lot; you'll need to find metered parking on Ridout street or park in a nearby pay lot. I hope to come back for a special event sometime soon!

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER OWNER this hall for a 250 person…read moreevent, with dinner included. We paid $35 a person plus tax for the food an an additional $1000 for drinks (coffee, tea, and soft drinks). Prior to the event I spoke to the owner Peter on the phone, I explained to him what we needed and he assured everything would be fine. We booked our event months in advance but every time I tried meeting with the owner to go over everything and finalize things he said due to covid they are not open and he can only meet two days in the week in an hour time window. I tried to accomodate this but because of my full-time work schedule I wasn't able too meet him at his times, even though Google says they are open every day. A few weeks before our event I again emailed Peter asking him for details in regards to our contract, which he didn't send me yet, and asking him what was going to be included etc. He then sent me an invoice from 2020 which originally included dessert, drinks, and linen for a price that was $4000 less than what he was currently quoting me. . I being an honest person told him that the invoice you sent me has all of these things included (see pictures). He said no it's an old invoice and made me a new one. The new one didn't have table clothes, or drinks or desserts included. But since we purchased the meals from them we also wanted drinks. I agreed to pay extra for drinks and said we would arrange our own table cloths and dessert. Which we did. He sent me 4 different invoices/contracts 10 days the event, making changes on each one. Knowing our event was in 10 days I agreed to all his changes and paid - in FULL (pictures attached) Fast forward to the day of the event - Peter emailed me the day before our event asking us to bring him table clothes so they can set up the tables. Prior to this he had made no mention as to when they needed the table clothes. He told us we are only allowed to come in at 330pm (our event started at 6pm) to set up but demand I come and give table cloths at 12 day of. So I did. When I arrived the tables were not arranged how I had asked. Again the owner was very rude and said that it was my fault because I hadn't given him a seating plan. I had made it very clear when booking and paying in full that we were doing a dinner with speakers and wanted all the tables in front of the stage. When I arrived at 12 the tables were all to the side with a big dance floor in the middle of the hall. When I told him to change the way they are set up because it won't work for us, he again started arguing with me and saying that they don't have the capacity to accommodate that request. I called my husband to come and help and told the owner that we would move them ourselves because the way he had them DOESN'T WORK for our event. We did. The owner then started accusing me of being aggressive and said he doesn't trust me because of my aggression and demanded I pay him another $1000 on the spot or else they will cancel our event and not go forward ( mind you this was at 12noon day of our event). I paid him the deposit, although I had already paid him in full PRIOR TO OUR EVENT. TRUSTING that he would serve the food, and allow for us to have an uneventful event. Once the event started and our guest started to arrive Peter started putting jugs of pop on all of the tables. I quickly informed him that IT IS RAMADAN AND EVERYONE IS FASTING and NOT TO GIVE OUT DRINKS! He said that we had asked for pitchers of pop on the tables. I explained to him that we need the drinks out with dinner (which would be at 8pm) and no one is allowed to drink before that so putting drinks on the table at 6PM doesn't work and to please remove them. Peter yelled "for F*** sakes" in the middle of our event, surrounded by our guests. And then told me to ask my guests to bring each pitcher, that he had already left out, back to the bar. I told him that no we won't be doing that and that he needs to take them back. And not to serve anything, water, drinks, good until 8pm (which I had already explained to him multiple times, prior to this). Later once the food was almost ready and it was almost time to break fast, I asked Peter to now place water on each table and the pitchers of pop are upon request. He again started to argue with me saying that he CANNOT PROVIDE WATER!!! He said that water was not included in our quote and that I did not pay for WATER!!!!! When I explained to him that I purchased drinks, coffee, tea and soft drinks I assumed WATER would be included as well. Mind you we did not cater from outside - we purchased dinner from them. I didn't know we had to accommodate our own water. Peter then said that he can only give us 2-3 jugs of water for the entire hall of 250 people. So my CEO and I went from table to table pouring water for our guests and then running back to the bar and refilling the water, as our paying guests did not have water and had been fasting for the entire day without even a sip of water.

Gleaming metal, fancy room signs, and snazzy bathrooms. Looks like a high-end hotel. Sound system was fine. Rooms were a bit cold; at least 10% of our group had their coats on at some point during the day. The baked goods looked yummy but I couldn't try them because there were no signs indicating allergens. They did have a candy table with loot bags. Several of us with allergies had to send our meals back because they didn't meet our dietary needs although we had submitted our requirements in advance. The second effort was close enough to my needs that I could eat it. They replenished water frequently. Staff were quite helpful. The area that we were in was handicap-friendly. Plan ahead for parking because the adjacent lot is often full. Better yet, take the bus!

The space itself is impressive. The convention centre is clean and bright- very functional…read more Attending a conference here was nice; the space met the needs of the different sessions very well. Staff were quick to make changes to the rooms when necessary and quick to clean up. My biggest complaint was the food. Coming to conferences is always a gamble for me on the eating side, but many hotels and conference centres are really accommodating. These guys- not so much. I was clearly an inconvenience, and not fitting into the 'vegetarian' or 'gluten-free' categories induced clear frustration from staff which was embarrassing. During one lunch hour I waited over 20 minutes for my 'special meal.'' My request? I couldn't have the jalapeño spread that was on the sandwiches so I needed a plain bun with the meat on it and lettuce. I have gotten hot meals at a restaurant quicker, and with much friendlier service. Next time I'm in town for a conference, I'll make time for a trip to a grocery store.
