Clean, tidy and beautifully appointed. Food was phenomenal, loved the tea nook. David was a gracious and personable host, gave great suggestions and recommendations. Location was quiet and very picturesque, and easy walk to downtown.

I wouldn't say it's a big negative, but the walk into town is around 25-30 minutes. This didn't bother us, it would've just been nice to be closer on the way home from the restaurants and wine tasting!!

What a pleasure staying here was! When we arrived David showed us around and each part was so well decorated. Then there was the surprise of the little speakeasy bar that was downstairs, it was so cool we spent a bit of time on both nights down there. David told us that he used to be a set designer and you can see he has a real talent for it! Our room on the first floor was a good size and had a very comfortable bed, so we had a great night's sleep on both nights. For the first day, we were out before the 9am breakfast, so David prepared us some pastries and muffins that we could grab and go, and they were delicious. On the second morning, we had breakfast with the other guests and that was great - the food was delicious and the company was fun. I would have no hesitation recommending this guest house at all!

The shower was adequate, but the bathroom was extremely clean.

The house was tastefully decorated with perfectly selected antiques. The room was extremely clean. A full breakfast is tastefully presented, and the food is delicious. The hosts are accommodating and helpful making sure your every need was met.

The breakfast was amazing. Always starting with local cheeses and jams, bread, tea and coffee. Then a lovely hot breakfast always different but always delicious. French toast one day, an egg and mushroom skillet the next etc. Extremely welcoming, friendly and accommodating. The whole house is a furnished in a 1920-30's style including the speakeasy in the basement. I was warned by the host this experience would ruin our expectations of other bed and breakfasts. And I have to say David... You were right!! Thank you for helping make out getaway special.

a little TLC needed in the back and front gardens. The inside more than made up for it but you do judge a book by its cover.

spacious suite, comfortable bed, fireplace, tea and coffee station and small fridge. The breakfast was a feast and delicious

We really enjoyed our stay. The location was walkable from the lakeshore and the main street in the old town. David was a wonderful host. We had everything we needed and more. Room was spacious and comfortable with direct access to a lovely garden.

Everything was very satisfying. Probably the only thing I could mention was a thicker more comfy bed pillow. There was 2nd one that I also used in the closet.

The 3 course breakfast was not only delicious but beautiful and detailed!

Staying at Gatekeepers Retreat was a very special treat from the minute we walked through the door. The house and furnishings is comfortable, eclectic and interesting. There is a little bar downstairs that is like a speak easy....so unusual and quaint. David has such a wonderful flair. There were little unusual touches throughout the home The food was truly delicious...I mean who makes a 3 course breakfast? Everything was locally sourced as possible (in February). We were smacking our lips and full all day. David is a collector of teas. His tea pantry is open all hours and there are dozens of teas

the step up to the door is a bit high, but other than that it was great

the suite was wonderful, with all the amenities we needed. David even provided us with an excellent restaurant recommendation where we had two wonderful meals. Plus he contacted us when we accidentally left my husband’s jacket and cell phone, and stayed home until we returned to pick it up.
