Bishop's Cottage Bed & Breakfast

My mother and I were fortunate to spend the Christmas holiday at Bishop's Cottage. My father recently died and we thought this Christmas would be a sad one. Our stay at the B&B worked its magic and served to make our Christmas surprisingly wonderful. The B&B is cozy, quiet, comfortable and oh so charming - a great place to "nestle in". Kathy is an amazing hostess who bends over backwards to meet your every need and make your stay perfect in every way. We did not want to leave and are planning to return to the B&B next month. No more boring hotels for us when we stay in the Grosse Ile area!

Our family gathered here in August. We found Bishop's Cottage to be very charming. The gardens are lovely, the rooms cozy, the continental breakfast fresh and delicious. Kathy moved about quietly and allowed us to feel as if we were at home. The bedding very nice and LOVE all the quilts!!! The music venue on Thursday was fun and festive. Most of us had not been on the island in over 40 years. What a treasure to return and to receive such hospitality. Thank you so much. I hope to be able to return again much sooner.

I could wait to give my comment about this place. We stayed for one night and it felt like a minute because we wanted to stay longer. It is one of the most wonderful places I have ever been and Kathy just adds up to everything. Just one time in this place is not enough, One's got to come back..!

This is a very quaint BB in a great location. Walking distance to everything. The rooms were good, the continental breakfast was enough to get us started each morning. Where this place really shines is the host. Kathy was the nicest, most accommodating hostess we have encountered. It was a real pleasure to stay at her place. We will be back!

If you enjoy B&Bs you must try this one. (And if you have never stayed in one this would be a great one to experience.) There is no place like it in the whole downriver area. The hospitality is amazing--the owners went out of their way to make our stay a very memorable one. And the inn is very beautiful, inside and out. The gardens are lush and peaceful, beckoning you to sit, put your feet up, take a deep breath and relax. A truly charming experience.

I stayed at the cottage for a job interview and the accommodations were exemplary. The room was beautiful, the service was outstanding, and the overall experience far exceeded all of my expectations. I would definitely recommend that people stay at The Bishop's Cottage if they are looking for beautiful lodging in a gorgeous, pastoral island setting.

We to the lower bedroom with was small and very ordinary. We were graciously welcomed. The room was not sparkling as I have come to expect from B&Bs.

Friendly place carefully preserved historic building with nice garden breakfast dinning, centrally located to visit any part of Grosse Ile. Innkeepers have an excellent knowledge of the histroy of Grosse Ile and thing to do. Mark Ashley

Bishops Cottage is the most unique, special place in the Downriver area. We haven't stayed overnight yet but enjoy visiting the outdoor cafe on a regular basis. Thursday nights in the garden are our favorite, the food is enjoyable and the music is the best!! Kathy and Vern have really created something special!

I've stayed at the cottage many times while traveling on business. It's like a second home for me. Katherine and Vern are wonderful hosts.

Bishop's is an absolute treasure. Our cycling group rides weekly from Dearborn to Bishop's on Grosse Ile, round trip about 35 miles. Always superb food and service, always the kindest of receptions. Very highly recommended. Don't miss Bishop's Bed and Breakfast- it is a treasure.
