KIM LEAH • Solo Trip

Very quick to respond to inquiries. Well stocked fridge and pantry for self serve continental breakfast in main floor and mini fridge in bedroom. Perfect spot to visit my son at Waterloo, catch a show at St Jacobs playhouse, and visit market. Very spacious room with very comfortable bed, and ceiling fan.

Bristow Inn was a great place to stay for a short weekend road trip. It was close to the places we were visiting: Elora, Fergus, and Kitchener. It was a charming house and our room was clean and comfortable.

Room was spotless! I have severe dust-mite allergies, but nothing at all set me off. The room was quiet, peaceful, and beautiful, along with the rest of the location. The owners were very nice, and even "ducked" my jeep while parked there. That gave me a giggle! Would highly recommend to anyone going out that direction - and will recommend to all of my friends.

Yes, the room was spotless. Plenty of very nice little extras in the in-room fridge and cabinets, nice to have two places to lounge in. Continental breakfast was more than adequate. Very nice indeed. Jodi is an excellent host. Very understanding and works with the guest very well, to make sure the guest gets the best situation possible.

Lovely historic home that is well loved and it is apparent. We were here for two of the coldest nights of the year yet it was so cozy and inviting. Jodi was lovely and answered our enquires immediately. The breakfast was good and there were a lot of choices. The room had a few extras such as granola bars and flavoured water which were a nice touch. The website is excellent and gives you things to do in the area which was much appreciated.

We really enjoyed our week at the Bristow Inn. Comfortable and cozy accommodations. We love being able to relax and read or play games in the common areas when we were not off exploring. Will definitely book again.

The Bristow Inn is a unique accommodation. I loved that it was central to many of the amenities in Elmira, especially the Woolwich Memorial Centre.

We really enjoyed our stay at your beautiful house. It felt like an adventure through time, and we could feel the story and the emotions behind every corner of your home. Thank you so much for your warm hospitality and for all the thoughtful touches you prepared for our welcome and breakfast. Everything was truly appreciated.

On an annual trip to area with my friend. We enjoyed our stay very much. We were pleasantly surprised with the room and the self serve breakfast options. We were not in our room much except for evenings but we enjoyed watching movies and snacking on popcorn provided by the hosts. Also enjoyed playing cards that were available. Travelers have to keep an open mind that this is an older home therefore don’t expect perfection. The home is exactly as it should be represented. Definitely stay there again if in the area for future trips. Wonderful stay!

Great location in small, quiet area just a few hours out of the GTA. Perfect for a quick weekend gateway.

I recently stayed at Bristow's Inn with my family and found the entire property immaculately clean, from the polished floors to the fresh linens in the cozy guest room. The check-in and check-out process was seamless and well-organized, with clear instructions and timely communication that made settling in and departing effortless.

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.
