Great Old House for An Overnight Stay

The cleanliness and size of the room exceeded what i thought i would get. Even the separated bathroom was an interesting touch if not a bit strange but in a cool way. It was just for our room and directly across the hall.

No TV in the room but i believe that is the overall vibe of the facility. Going for that true B & B feel where you are removed from the ruckus and busy pace of life. We just watched some programs through a tablet.

South Shire Hayloft review

We were in the carriage house extension, the room was very cozy, very clean, and very comfortable. I enjoyed the amenities and had a good time in the jet tub. The location was wonderful, only a 5 minute walk to town, plenty of food and shops around. The decorations were beautiful, and the house itself was very pretty.

There was apparently a bat in the most expensive room in the main house. We did not experience that. The breakfast seemed a bit too fancy for a bed and breakfast. Whenever someone in the carriage house used a water appliance, we could hear it through the bathroom. There was also a lack of places to put a meal down on and eat from. The flat screen tv they advertise is smaller than the pillows.

If you like antiques and old architecture, you will love this place. And breakfast was awesome!

Beautifully restored old house filled with interesting items. Very much a snapshot of history. The main living room was absolutely beautiful.

No TV or WIFI. Bed was just a full memory foam, which being 6'2" with back issues, was not my first choice. Furniture was nicely done and pretty to look at, but not really usable, I was afraid to layout items or sit on the chair for fear of breaking or scratching something.

Excellent and comfortable

Breakfast was a surprise treat every morning. Had local honey for my coffee, A different local Mennonite fruit every morning. Joe and his staff were always pleasant and informative.

A longer stay would have been nice but the three nights were wonderful. Didn't miss that there are no TV's in the rooms. Cant wait to go back with my wife.

Very good

We had a lovely time at South Shore. The owner, Joe was very welcoming and is justly proud of such a beautiful gem of a historic building. We stayed in one of the larger rooms and the bed was very comfortable. We would love to come back in the winter. Breakfast is excellent too!

Classic Victorian

Classic Victorian that is only a short walk to town.. My wife loved the atmosphere. I appreciated the owner/ operator who clearly enjoyed what he was doing. Everything worked, breakfast was great. Loved the size of the GOLD room whose only quirk was that its bathroom (which was private) was across a small hallway.

Not much

This exceeded my expectations and would stay here again.

This house has charm! Beautifully decorated and very welcoming. The bed was very comfortable and the room was super clean. The breakfast was excellent! The bacon was from a local butcher and I could have eaten a pound of it! The location was close to downtown and we were able to walk to dinner. Joe, the owner was fantastic and was full of information about the history of this house. I would highly recomment it.

Everything was great.

This was a nice spot for a relaxing weekend getaway.

Breakfast was wonderful and served in the beautiful dining room. Very spacious room. Felt like a visit to grandma's if she happened to live in a big old Victorian house.
