This is a beautiful property conveniently located just a short walk away from two of the Stratford Festival theatres. There is an evident commitment to quality and excellent service throughout The Bruce. Staff are friendly and efficient in everything they do. We stayed there for two nights and enjoyed the relaxed yet refined ambience very much.

Excellent accommodations at The Bruce. Our suite was spacious, clean and included a small, private patio. My vegan dining preferences were not an issue at all...in fact, the chef created an incredible Vegan evening meal just for me! I was extremely impressed by the quality of service.

Easy short walk to the Festival theatre. Beatifully appointed hotel, marvelous room, good restaurant, lovely grounds, attentive service. Couldnt ask for much more. I would strengthen the coffee brew, perhaps offer ham is an alternative to bacon in the breakfast offering, but that's it!

A lovely home away from home

The rooms and building and environment and service at The Bruce are top notch. Im sad to say my dining experiences were not so great. Dining room good but not great - eggs I ordered for breakfast one day came half cooked half completely raw.

Luxurious stay for Shakespeare Festival

Staff went out of their way to make sure we had a comfortable stay. Room was quiet, bed comfortable, good night's sleep. Short walk on back path to Festival theater. Every amenity was provided for. Convenient parking. Complimentary sparkling water in the room mini fridge. Only negative comment I would have is that drawer space was adequate but not overly abundant.
