4.6 out of 5Perfect Stay
March 03, 2013
Spent three nights mid-week while attending a conference. It was a perfect location within walking distance of shops and restaurants. Looking forward to returning later this year and enjoying the waterfront activities. My days began earlier than the breakfast room opened so cannot comment. But the baked oatmeal left for me in the community kitchen was great. Look forward to sleeping in and enjoying the full spread next time. Definitely recommend!

We loved our stay. My wife was so pleased with the architecture and decor. Our room was large and it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. Our only regret was the we could only stay one night even though the offered us a deal on a second night. We will be coming back for sure.
4.4 out of 5Very pleasant and relaxing weekend getaway!

5 out of 5Winter Stay
January 07, 2013
We reserved the executive suite and were very pleased with the setup and how the room was prepared. The owners have small notes in the room to make us aware of things we might need to know about the room (very helpful) and were available in person or by phone to answer any additional questions we might have. The breakfast, as most reviewers say, is wonderful! It is divinely delicious, nutritious, well-rounded, and the atmosphere in the dining area is pleasant. Owners are so pleasant and accommodating. We loved our stay and will do so again in the future.
5 out of 5Cabaret Room Special
January 03, 2013
Our stay exceeded all our expectations. The house is wonderfully decorated and beautiful, without being kitchy like many other B&Bs. The Cabaret room is somewhat set off from the rest of the rooms with an outside entrance. This gives it an extra feel of privacy. The tub was spacious and the jets were luxurious. The small television room was perfect for cuddling in front of a movie and the bed was quite comfortable. Breakfast was gourmet--don't miss out on the oatmeal!
5 out of 5Well worth the stay
December 06, 2012
We stayed for three nights midweek. The greeting was excellent, the breakfast very good and plentiful, and the room very comfortable. We were directly across from the guest kitchen and that was a little noisy at times and wafts of popcorn came into our room, but we would be very OK with that room again. Overall, a great choice.
4.8 out of 5Beyond Expectation
December 05, 2012
My partner and I spent two nights at Boyden House B & B. We were met with wine and music and made to feel welcome. The house is beautiful and very well kept. Our room was clean, roomy and exactly as pictured online. Breakfast was delicious and there was plenty to eat. In milder weather we would probably have walked into town, however, during the off season as we chose, that isn't always possible. Highly recommend Boyden House and will stay there again.
