Company info

The owner/host is well-informed about local history and attractions. He is also a bit of a foodie and can offer good advice on where to eat locally. The atmosphere in the Inn is relaxed and comfortable. Guests are encouraged to enjoy the great rooms with their collections of art and antiques. Most of all, it is a very relaxed and comfortable home away from home. The Inn has many repeat guests who use it as their stop of choice on the way to cottages in the East Coast, trips to Quebec City or the New England States. The absence of television gives guests a break from the turmoil of the world - although true news junkies can always stream on their laptops! The Inn is also a great location for groups of up to ten people. Various families, cycle groups and women's groups have rented the entire Inn so they can enjoy things as a group. They will use the fire-pit in the garden, play cards in the library or even give the 150 year-old square grand piano a tryout. Robert tries to be as responsive to your needs as possible, while remaining discretely in the background. There is a Scottie dog named Hamish on the property.

Property info

Auberge Chesley's Inn has a rich history. It was built as an Inn in 1814 and hosted many prominent guests visiting Upper Canada including Charles Dickens, Catherine Paar Traill and Lord and Lady Durham. Eventually it was converted into a grand home although important early details were left in place. Guests love the fact that they can walk to local restaurants and shops, as well as nearby parks. The Inn mascot, a Scottie dog named Hamish, is popular with guests and loves to entertain them. The library at he Inn is well-stocked with books and magazines. The main part of the Inn does not accept children under the age of 12 or pets. However there is a housekeeping unit called "The Innkeeper's Quarters" which has a separate entrance and welcomes both younger children and well-mannered dogs. This unit does not come with breakfast as it has a fully equipped kitchen. The area around Cornwall has many attractions including the Long Sault Parkway, Upper Canada Village, the Loyalist and Nor'western museum in nearby Williamstown and many other attractions. There is excellent bass fishing in the river and there are are kayak rentals available nearby. There are also bicycle rent...
