    The Walker suite was a refreshing change from staunch hotels, offering elegance and down-home charm.

    I did need to work for an entire day on my computer in the room so the kitchen-style chair was a bit tough; but what idiot spends an entire day in their room? I rest my point lest I identify as one. The locked door going to the main home kitchen you could hear activity on the other side during the day and at mealtimes. Being used to quiet hotels as a business traveler and once upon a time having younger children this was a reminder of what my kids were like. Quiet time was 9PM onwards.

    This is a hidden gem in Markdale. I stayed for business four nights. The room was clean and elegant, with a slight rustic feel due to the high ceilings, high windows and wood casings. The ceiling fan over the bed is amazing with remote control. The kitchenette was stocked with coffee, tea, cream and cups, cutlery and dishes. The bed - Oh my!! Wonderful! I felt like melted cheese in this plush pillow topped king mattress with an extra blankie I slept like a baby. (yes I slept in a few days) The bathroom was modern, yet rustic and elegant with a chandelier! It was perfectly functional with a nightlight; I have one in my travel bag so this was nice. Do note the sink is low, so a short guy like me loved it. The entry to the room was keyless and easy. The breakfast was fit for a king. I took a photo of it and sent to my project team; my pronoun for today is "King of Markdale" you shall address me. Julia is a kind and gracious host who will customize your breakfast for you. Ask for the crepes, you will enjoy them I promise, with real maple syrup. Breakfast is offered at 8:00 or 9:00 so she can get the kiddoes off to school between those times. 9AM too late? ask for breakfast to go or just sleep in like I did and have it at 9AM then you will feel so much better. I would go back there again for sure; I just may find a "business reason" to do so. :)

    Julia is an amazing host! The Danby House was so cozy, clean and welcoming. The house is beautifully decorated and you feel like home as soon as you step in. To emphasize just few things that we liked about this B&B: very comfortable sitting areas in the backyard, and indoor, as well. There was plenty of coffee, tea, and water bottles in the room. The breakfast table was impressive: very healthy and tasty food, nicely arranged on the table. Julia also offered recommendations for things to do in the area. We really enjoyed our stay here and definitely planning to come back

    We loved staying at Danby House and we are already planning a return trip. Our room was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. We could open the window (always a plus). Everything was very clean and well thought out to ensure guest comfort. Outside the rooms on the second floor there was a coffee/tea station alongside a refrigerator where we could store personal items. Downstairs there was a comfortable lounge area beside the dining room where we went for breakfast which we could have at either 8 or 9 am. Breakfast when we stayed there consisted of yogurt and granola with fruit, juice, tea and coffee, toasted bagels, delicious croissants, and light fluffy omelets. Our hostess was very friendly and welcoming. Parking was right beside the house. WIFI was good.

    Due to Covid the kitchen was closed, but breakfast options are available nearby. The owner said she has plans to restart breakfasts.

    A lovely Victorian townhouse with many original features but newly renovated to a high standard.

    Space in Canada Room was a bit limited, but we mostly only slept there, so it was not really an issue

    Backyard BBQ was great as it allowed us to cook food quickly especially on the days we came back late, and were not in a mood to go looking for the restaurant.
