Very welcoming, staff were phenomenal and very accommodating, food outstanding, elegant decor, and well situated to attend the Shakespeare theater. We did not encounter any children so difficult to rate family friendliness, but I feel the staff would do whatever they could to make the stay pleasant. Overall, more of an adult focused hotel. Only minor thing I can think of was hot tub was just warm, not hot

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.

A beautiful and elegant hotel, close to the theatre and park area. It’s short walk into town by the main road, or a beautiful walk by the water. Very friendly staff, who are eager to please. I got the impression that the staff are not only happy, but proud of the hotel. Our room was spacious and comfortable, with a beautiful bathroom. There is also an immaculate pool and hot tub with a spa-like feel.

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.
