    This is absolutely the place to stay if you are coming to the Niagara region. Convenient to everything and the Lakewinds experience is as good as it gets. We would highly recommend everything about Lakewinds.

    A very relaxing and comfortable stay. Jane and Steve are gracious hosts. We enjoyed chatting with them and learning the history of the town. The B&B is very peaceful witha a beautiful view of the lake across from the golf course. In addition it is within easy walking distance of town. Our room was very comfortable and quiet. We had a great sleep in a very welcoming bed. Breakfast was extremely good. Jane served a great omelette with "all the tiimmings". Our special requests were addressed with ease. We would not hesitate to return. Our only "regret" was that we were unable to see what the vast garden would look like in full bloom. Brian and Eke

    Lakewinds Manor is a wonderful B&B, located right on the main strip of Niagara-on-the-lake, just a short walking distance from the shops and restaurants. This place is impeccably clean and Jane and Steve are very friendly hosts and very helpful in suggesting great places to eat or fun things to do around town. Aside from the beautifully decorated rooms, Lakewinds offers a cozy entertainment room, to watch TV or play some pool. They have a lovely pool and patio outside as well. The breakfasts are delicious, very tasty and healthy home cooking. This was our second time staying at Lakewinds Manor, and we look forward to coming back very soon! Thanks again for the fantastic service, Jasmine and Jeff


    Relax and Enjoy Lakewinds

    Thanks for a most enjoyable weekend; we’ll have no hesitation recommending Lakewinds to family and friends. We have always enjoyed visiting Niagara-on-the-Lake for day trips, now we have an added insensitive to return and stay a while. The Manor, the garden, the company and especially our hosts made this very brief stay one to remember. Thanks again to Jane and Stephen, we will most certainly be returning to Lakewinds for a much longer stay. Barbara & Malcolm, Ontario
