Fabulous, large, clean room with comfortable bed and linens. Staff was friendly and responsive. Still doing breakfast drop-offs due to COVID - they were great but variety was limited for a week long stay.

Love the historic feel of the building but with very modern amenities. Very quiet even though it is on the main and not too far away from dining options and shopping malls. So close to nature with lots of green space but the historic feel of the old Ancaster Village is preserved. My third stay and I really enjoyed it!.

beautiful building. One staff we spoke to was lovely, the other we seemed to be inconveniencing by existing. Also even though COVID restrictions had been lifted they are still delivering breakfast to the rooms rather than having their buffet. Which is a shame because breakfast was pleasant but underwhelming and the breakfast room looked really nice.
