My husband and I stayed for a night at the Bayfield Boutique Bed and Breakfast after reading other excellent reviews. It exceeded our expectations. The building itself is charming and many of the older features such as the beautiful hardwood floors have been preserved, however every modern amenity for comfort of the guests has been incorporated. There is a complimentary coffee bar in the lounge just inside the main entrance with a selection, not only of coffee but of treats and sweets. Mary, the hostess and her husband John were the most wonderful hosts and we really enjoyed chatting with them and meeting their two lovely terriers. Our room was at the top of a fairly steep flight of stairs but I understand there is a ground level, pet friendly suite for those for whom mobility might be a challenge. Breakfast was a delicious egg and vegetable sandwich on whole grain bread with a fruit cup and orange juice and coffee served in a wicker picnic basket. We opted to sit out on the front porch with a view of the park to enjoy our meal, but the backyard and deck overlooking the gardens would be a beautiful spot to have breakfast, coffee or a glass of wine - or two! Our room itself - the “Bourbon” - was quite large with two club chairs positioned to watch tv and an extremely comfortable king size bed with great pillows. Of the three rooms on the upper level ours was the only one with the private bathroom across the hall - the others are “ensuite” . Bathrobes are provided. Just outside the room is a refrigerator for guest use as well as a water cooler, more snacks and a huge basket of beach towels and a rack of cozy blankets for cooler nights. Mary and John have really thought of everything their guests might need! The location is an easy walk into lovely Bayfield, where there is a good selection of restaurants and shops and is also an easy walk to the beach. I would not hesitate to stay here again!
