The room was very clean. We were unable to enjoy the breakfast as it was scheduled for 8 to 10 a.m. which later than our planned departure to get to the St. Jacob's Farmer's Market for it's opening time at 7:00 a.m. An earlier offering of the breakfast would have been better for our stay.

Charming

We had a great night at the inn. I appreciate the cleanliness and fresh sheets. There’s no funky smell in the room. The inn was very charming and we even met other guests during breakfast.

The room was clean and comfortable. The furnishings included information on the builder and owners. The breakfast supplies were good and included cereal, yogurt, bagels, juice and a Keurig coffee maker. W would stay again the next time in the Kitchener-Waterloo area.

Beautiful old home with great character. The only suggestion I would make is that the rooms had dust on some of the decorative objects as well as the ceiling fan blades. Very clean otherwise.

Great place to stay

Everything was wonderful, easy to get in and out. Clean room and good breakfast. The only thing I would like to see is at least 1 rack to put luggage on, 2 would be fabulous.

We really enjoyed Bristow's Inn. It was comfortable and well.set up.it was a unique experience because it is what I call remote and it worked very well. There was no one to check you in. Prior to leaving,we received a cde for the front door and one for your room. Things were set out in the diningroom for the continental breakfast. Loved the experience.

A unique,Cozy Inn

This inn is truly unique, featuring a classic Victorian style with carefully curated interior decor and a strong sense of homeliness. The rooms are clean and tidy, and the breakfast is plentiful and nutritious, making the stay especially pleasant. The only downside is that the air conditioning is a bit noisy.
