Great little spot in the area! Historical charm, welcoming vibe and community. You'll pretty much have everything you need at a hotel, just packaged in a cutesy, cottagey format. Lots of cool art and things to see.

Our room was clean, tidy and comfortable. The owners were helpful and gave clear directions. Parking was great, close to the house and away from the road. Breakfast was good, and well stocked. We did not get to meet any staff during our stay but did run into a couple of pleasant fellow travelers.

The house is charming and very clean and tidy. The only drawback is the road noise if you are staying at the front of the house (which we were). The parking was easy, the breakfast choices were great and the room itself quite cozy. Sweet place to stay.

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.

Very interesting concept for a B&B, there is no contact with the owner yet everything is extremely well communicated and provided for your use and comfort. The owner does live on site and just a text away. It was quaint, clean, comfortable and quiet all you need for a little get away.

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.
