Maryhill Inn — Hotel in Woolwich

My husband and I spent our wedding weekend at Maryhill Inn, and the stay was nothing short of exceptional.

Located in a charming rural Ontario town nestled between Kitchener and Guelph, this bed and breakfast quickly felt like a home-away-from-home largely thanks to the outstanding management team: Kimmie, an artist with a background in theatre set design, and James, an all-around handyman with a background in the performing arts. From the moment my husband and I arrived ahead of our wedding at the Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory, Kimmie and James moved mountains to ensure our two-night stay was relaxing and care-free.

The couple purchased the Maryhill not long after they themselves got married at the inn in 2020. It’s clear that in the time since taking over, the two of them have poured everything they have into Maryhill – with fantastic results. The building retains its couch-house charm while offering modern amenities such as streaming services, a hot tub and solid wifi. The bedroom was cozy with an abundance of natural light, the beds were wonderful and spacious, and the en suite bathroom was spotless with all the modern fixings. We also quite enjoyed the soaker tub, located near the foot of our bed, after a long day. The breakfasts were plentiful and delicious, with fresh OJ and coffee on offer as well.

While the hospitality was outstanding, it was the little touches that really solidified how amazing our experience was. Our wedding took place the weekend of Halloween ‘22, and Kimmie and James went to great lengths to dress the inn up with Halloween decor (they say they go all-out for both Halloween and Christmas), making for some fantastic photos and a perfect atmosphere. Both Kimmie and James pride themselves on identifying the experience their guests seek and providing the best stay possible, which by all accounts they achieved.

Whether you’re looking for a weekend-long break from the daily routine or an extended nesting experience, the Maryhill is an ideal spot to lose yourself without ever feeling far from home. We look forward to returning many times over the...

My husband and I took a road trip to Elora, ON. We decided to stay at this place due to the fact that Maryhill Inn had a pet-friendly policy, and we had a very well-behaved, calm and sweet medium-sized German Shepherd that we didn't want to leave alone / with a dog-sitter. He had just been rescued and we felt like it would be too early for us to leave him away from us. To our surprise, turns out that Maryhill Inn was not only great due to it's dog-friendly policy, but actually the whole experience was nothing short of phenomenal. There is a very warm, wholesome, cozy and friendly vibe in the whole place. The owners, a wonderful and very welcoming couple, has definitely put their heart onto their Inn, and their attention to detail and the love with which they manage the venue is visible in every little detail. When we arrived, for instance, we were a bit concerned about how we'd be received due to our dog coming with us in the trip - even though some hotels say they are "dog-friendly" there is sometimes a harsh/cold reception once they realized you brought your four-legged friend with you. But, nope. Much on the contrary, the hosts were incredible, they genuinely loved to meet our fur-baby, they gave him treats in the morning, they even cooked a special meal/breakfast just for him, our little dog. We couldn't have felt more embraced, and, dare I say, "loved" than what we experienced. We wish them all the luck in the world in their endeavours. And we wholeheartedly recommend Maryhill Inn for anyone passing through the area. Oh, and if you're going to Elora, don't think twice about booking for a stay here - it is not too far away at all, it's just a short, pleasant drive from here to the heart of Elora. And I guarantee, these hosts and their charming, beautifully restored inn will share the same passion, vibe and heartfelt feeling that one may encounter whilst strolling through Elora. Don't think twice, book your stay at this wonderful,...
