Superb stay. My husband and I stayed here for a last get away before our first child comes and we had a wonderful time. We were the only couple staying for the weekend but Bill and Lynne lovingly cared for our every need. We stayed in the Oliver Phelps suite which was absolutely beautiful and cozy. The bathroom was so roomy but I will mention that I had been under the impression (because I thought I read it in the description of the room) that it had a whirlpool tub as well as a walk in shower but I was wrong. But the walk in shower was great and we didn't really miss the tub. Breakfast was exquisite, Lynne is incredibly gifted at cooking and you can tell she loves what she does. Bill is helpful and fun to talk to but we also had our privacy. Overall I would definitely rate this B&B a five star place. If you're looking for a place to feel relaxed and pampered this place will meet those expectations. I know they also offer an outdoor hot tub and spa but due to the time of year we stayed (February) we didn't use it. We enjoyed cozily relaxing in our room watching movies by the fire much of the time. We did go downtown (about a half mile walk) and its filled with cute shops and restaurants to explore. Next time we will go in the summer to catch other goings on as a lot of potential attractions are seasonal. But for this trip we were just looking for a cozy get away and that's just what we found. Also a fun fact is this B&B was the very first one in the area so they are very well established and seem to be thriving even with many others in the area. Overall I highly recommend...
Read moreThe kind of extraordinary value you can never get from an AirBNB stay! We've stayed at 'the OP' (as we affectionately call it) during our summer vacation for several years running because of the incredible value we receive during our stay. There's the beautiful, historic house that's warm and inviting, with lots of airy spaces to relax in. There's the remarkable breakfasts: nothing heavy and greasy here, but rather three courses of ingeniously delicious, healthy yet filling portions sourced from fresh local ingredients and beautifully prepared and presented by our hosts. Clean, clean, comfortable, well-appointed, quiet, and did we mention clean rooms, each with their own lovely character. But the truly great value of staying at the OP is the service provided by our hosts Lynne & Bill. Sure, we read tour books and search websites, but there's nothing like having keenly observant, reliable and trustworthy advisers on the ground to help you maximize the enjoyment of stay, be it one evening or an entire week. From activities like trail or road cycling, hiking, lake water-sports, to choosing just the right local restaurant to fit your mood, palate and budget, to finding great rainy-day museums, historic homes and winery tours, they've really got their finger on the pulse of this beautiful region, and their suggestions and guidance have always, without fail, been spot-on. With our limited time and modest budget, they really help us make the most of each day and maximize our enjoyment during out stay with them. You just don't get that kind of value from an AirBNB...
Read moreThis was my first experience with Oliver Phelps and won't be my last. I had such a wonderful time in this lovely, warm, and inviting B&B. The home is so clean and calmly decorated. It feels like home and I was comfortable right away. The owner is truly a special person and incredible cook. She had fresh brownies upon arrival and the breakfasts were so good. She uses locally sourced and healthy ingredients with unique menus. She is very accommodating to food allergies and preferences. My room had a mini fridge and a tub, which was really nice. There is a clean water system available for cold or hot water and a Keurig. The room was so clean (everything was) and comfortable. The space is calm and quiet allowing rest and relaxation. The location is also quiet, but close to many shops, restaurants and local attractions. I can't wait to book my next stay as soon...
