NOTL - Harbour House Hotel
 

I'm thinking about pampering my wife with a trip to the NOTL region. I've been searching local B&B's, and nothing seems to appeal to me. We don't appreciate the Victorian decor and 'old-world' furniture. In contract, I was impressed (with the web-site at least) with the Harbour House. Has any one ever stayed there?

Any other recommendations?

What are good spa destinations in the area?

Excuse my ignorance but where is NOTL region???

Niagara-on-the-Lake

Can't help you with Harbor House, but we love Cecile's House. I would call it more ecletic than anything, but I could be wrong. It is very nice, but is comfortable. It is on Gate Street - one block from the lake and one block from Queen Street. You can park your car and walk everywhere.

I don't know anything about Harbour House - but can I put in a vote for the Grand Victorian B&B - I can't stand that fussy Victorian stuff....YUCK! But this B&B was a great spot - directly on the Niagara Parkway - minutes from downtown NOTL and fantastic breakfast in a gazebo - lovely property and NOTL - what else could you ask for???? Just ignore the Victorian yuck stuff - it wasn't that bad at this spot thank goodness...oh - and relax with a swing on the Veranda....ahhh....I think that I have to go book a night there now.

I recommend the Stamford Village B&B. It is closer to Niagara Falls than to NOTL, but I think it is the best deal for your money.

Here is the website:

You will be guaranteed to have the best breakfasts you have ever eaten.

If you are worried about parking in NOTL, it is really not a problem if you are willing to walk 2-4 blocks. Later in the evening (if you are going to a play), the parking does open up.

I just love this B&B!

I hope that I am not too late in responding kyau-

I have stayed at the Harbour House with my sisters and mother (all very picky to say the least) and we all loved it. You cannot go wrong here.

Have fun.
