My wife and I just returned home from a lovely 3-night stay at the Finlay House B & B. We stayed in the Bernard Shaw bedroom, which accurately matched the attractive on-line photos. The room was very clean and well maintained, with a very comfortable king-sized bed. Hot and tasty breakfasts were served promptly each morning at 9:00 a.m. Each meal was unique, well balanced, and prepared with a creative flare. Great location if you are attending the Shaw Festival or just want to shop on Queen Street. Thanks, Yvonne, for making our stay a the wonderful experience!

We had a wonderful stay & Woolf he happy to stay again. Yvonne was a gracious host, serving a lovely hot breakfast each morning. I was traveling with my aunt who had some medically related needs and Yvonne made it clear she was there to help, gave us extra supplies and towels and made us feel so very welcome. She also shared her local knowledge of the area. The inn itself was recently redecorated with lovely furnishings, art, and beautiful wallpapers. Our room (Bernard Shaw Room) was spacious and the bed was so comfortable! My aunt and I shared the oversized king that has a memory foam mattress which prevents one from noticing movement of the other - we slept like rocks! The only improvement I might suggest would be better internet connection, but I wasn’t there to work so it was okay. Beautifully done, quaint/updated, comfortable, great breakfasts, excellent host!

We had a wonderful stay at the Finlay House B&B! The location couldn’t be better—just a short walk to the historic and beautiful downtown area. Our room was comfortable and inviting, but what truly made our visit unforgettable was our host, Yvonne. She was beyond welcoming, attentive to every detail, and went out of her way to make us feel at home. Her warmth and hospitality made this a truly unforgettable stay. Highly recommend!
