門衛的退隱處

We had a wonderful 2 night stay at Gatekeepers’s Retreat. The hosts were friendly and very accommodating with any special requests. We particularly loved the decor and impeccable cleanliness of the whole place. Breakfast included was a real treat with everything having been thought about - from piping hot coffee on arrival to allergies. We would definitely recommend any fellow travellers to visit and stay here.

Beautifully decorated home with traditional charm. Lovely rooms with an amazing Suite downstairs for a weekend retreat stay. The three course breakfast demonstrates cooking is definitely David’s forte. His French roots come through in his cooking style and presentation. Great morning surprise and delicious ! Table for eight guests makes for an interesting breakfast conversation. Definitely a plan to return again !

Located only a few blocks from Lake Ontario and a short seven-minute drive from downtown Niagara-on-the-Lake, the Gatekeeper’s Retreat is fine place to spend time while at this charming community. The highlight of our nine-day stay was breakfast. David, your innkeeper, prepares a feast for your first meal of the day. The breakfast is served at 9AM sharp; it is a leisurely meal, lasting an hour. If you have early plans, as we did for three mornings, he will readily offer a buffet of muffins & croissants with jams (made in the region), fruit, and coffee & orange juice. Fresh fruit and cheese are waiting for you when you enter the dining room. David explains the cheeses, which he buys at Cheese Secrets in downtown Niagara-on-the-Lake. Next is the main course, alternating days between sweet and savory, and always presented with a flourish. If you are traveling as two couples or a group of four friends, I encourage you to book the two rooms—The Chamber and The Boudoir—on the second floor. These rooms open out onto The Library, where comfortable chairs and a sofa serve as your private living space, helping to expand the area of the bedrooms; there is also a coffee room for your use on this floor. Our bathroom in The Chamber was spacious and clean. We got a good night’s sleep on the comfortable mattress. This B&B is a keeper!
