  • Inn Details

    Osler house offers guests a return to the world of bygone Victorian elegance. This impeccably -restored 1848 house, once the home of the world-famous physician Sir William Osler and his illustrious family, now welcomes guests as a luxurious B&B. The unique and historic home abounds with antiques and period reproductions, and is complimented with sumptuous and elegantly presented breakfasts. The spacious and private grounds, accented with an enormous and ancient heritage magnolia tree, belie the fact that guests are but minutes away from the charm of downtown Dundas and the bustle of downtown Hamilton. McMaster University and medical center, the Royal Botanical Gardens, dozens of waterfalls and wooded trails are also just moments away.

    Elegant, luxurious, beautifully appointed--bedrooms, bathrooms and public rooms--tall ceilings and windows, original woodwork, lovely (but comfortable) antiques in every room. Breakfasts are delicious, hosts could not be nicer, plus they live in a separated apartment, so there's great privacy. We were celebrating an anniversary, but it would be a great place for a wedding! Big, beautiful grounds.

    Fabulous experience - highly recommended!

    I stayed at the Osler House the night before my wedding with my maid of honour, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Gary and Sara, the owners, were so gracious and generous and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. The rooms were resplendent and romantic, the food was note-perfect (breakfast and lunch, made specially for us to suit our wedding day schedule), and the atmosphere relaxed and elegant. Osler House, and Gary and Sara, helped make my wedding day a wonderful, fun, relaxed time - their welcoming, calm and genial presence erased any trace of pre-wedding jitters and stress! I can't thank them enough.
