Great place to stay in Stratford!

I had a fantastic stay at this bed and breakfast! The hosts were incredibly accommodating, the food was delicious, and the room was cozy and well-appointed. The location was ideal, as anywhere we wanted to go was just a short, pleasant walk away. Strongly recommend!

For my parents Anniversary my dad took my mom to Stratford for some shows, her favorite. They stayed at this B&B and both of them have been raving about it since they returned home. The family was so kind and wonderful to talk with. The home was immaculately kept. The family dog was a pleasure to have around. The owners thought of everything! A cute delicious chocolate dessert, from a local shop, awaited them in the bedroom’s refrigerator. Definitely a place they’d come back to. They thoroughly enjoyed their time there.

Excellent Stratford Stay

A comfortable and convenient B&B with excellent hosts and great breakfasts. The home and property are beautifully maintained and the hosts very friendly and helpful. Our only note is the tight flight of steps up to our room on the second floor.

Fall Trip to Stratford

Great hosts, great location, great property! Only possible question was the number of stairs leading up to the room - just a little challenging for some... Would definately recommend it.

We enjoyed our two-night stay at Hathaway Cottage. Our room was clean and comfortable, the breakfasts were delicious, and the hosts were kind and helpful. The property was convenient to shopping, restaurants, and the theaters. Our only regret is that we didn’t have more time to interact with the friendly house dog Nyla. Great stay.

Cozy, friendly, and close to theater

Rachelle and Kevin were friendly hosts who also gave us our space. The house is tidy with some great ornamental quilts and beautiful gardens. We slept with the windows open and it was very quiet, both in the house and out on the street. We were in the king bedroom, which seemed newly finished or refinished. It was a less-than-10-minute walk to our dinner on Ontario St., and an even shorter walk home from the Avon theatre. During the week the breakfast options are, apparently, slightly limited (which I only know because they kindly had us fill out our preferences the night before and we saw the longer weekend menu). Nonetheless, we had plenty of healthy (granola, yogurt, fresh fruit) and naughty options (scones, muffins) and plenty to eat and drink. In sum, a pleasant, simple, guest experience.

Immaculately kept property and house, equipped with everything needed and a delicious breakfast. (We were given a choice of breakfast foods ). Highly recommended. Also a very convenient location within a five minute drive to the theatres.
