We really enjoyed our stay at your beautiful house. It felt like an adventure through time, and we could feel the story and the emotions behind every corner of your home. Thank you so much for your warm hospitality and for all the thoughtful touches you prepared for our welcome and breakfast. Everything was truly appreciated.
On an annual trip to area with my friend. We enjoyed our stay very much. We were pleasantly surprised with the room and the self serve breakfast options. We were not in our room much except for evenings but we enjoyed watching movies and snacking on popcorn provided by the hosts. Also enjoyed playing cards that were available. Travelers have to keep an open mind that this is an older home therefore don’t expect perfection. The home is exactly as it should be represented.
Definitely stay there again if in the area for future trips.
Wonderful stay!
The stay was fine, the bed was not good at all. The mattress felt like sleeping on a piece of plywood. The bed frame was rustic but very noisy with any movements and not ideal to sleep on.
I really enjoyed my stay at Bristow's Inn. The cleanliness of the place was excellent. The decor was lovely. The quietness of the area I really enjoyed. It was very homey feeling. I will recommend staying here.
I recently stayed at Bristow's Inn with my family and found the entire property immaculately clean, from the polished floors to the fresh linens in the cozy guest room. The check-in and check-out process was seamless and well-organized, with clear instructions and timely communication that made settling in and departing effortless.
The room was very clean and had a few extras like a fridge in the room with some cans of drinks and water bottles as well as use of a kitchenette downstairs.

We stayed at this property for the first time. We stayed for 2 nìghts in the Fall. My husband loves hisyory and antiques. Thus, we gave this inn a try. It is a beautiful historic property. Pictures on the wall tells the history of the house. Interior decorations also reflect its time in history. This inn is clean and quiet. The only thing I don't like is the squeaky beds in our room and the thinly covered top half of the window with lacey materials. The sunrise literally wakes you up.
Lovely property and very nice rooms. Will definitely return!

Liked the history of the property. Enjoyed our visit as it was close to amenities and was quiet and safe. Twin bed was squeaky and the double bed was comfortable but difficult to get into as very high. ? Issues with the coffee maker as it shut off several times. We appreciated the fact that the Bistrow was pet friendly.
We had a great, quiet stay, exactly what we were looking for. I love the historical house, the room was spacious and comfortable. We ate takeout barbecue on the outdoor patio!
The room was very clean. We were unable to enjoy the breakfast as it was scheduled for 8 to 10 a.m. which later than our planned departure to get to the St. Jacob's Farmer's Market for it's opening time at 7:00 a.m. An earlier offering of the breakfast would have been better for our stay.
We had a great night at the inn. I appreciate the cleanliness and fresh sheets. There’s no funky smell in the room.
The inn was very charming and we even met other guests during breakfast.
The room was clean and comfortable. The furnishings included information on the builder and owners. The breakfast supplies were good and included cereal, yogurt, bagels, juice and a Keurig coffee maker. W would stay again the next time in the Kitchener-Waterloo area.
Beautiful old home with great character. The only suggestion I would make is that the rooms had dust on some of the decorative objects as well as the ceiling fan blades. Very clean otherwise.
Everything was wonderful, easy to get in and out. Clean room and good breakfast. The only thing I would like to see is at least 1 rack to put luggage on, 2 would be fabulous.
