Yvonne was an exceptional hostess. She not only provided a wonderful breakfast, she took her time to give us detailed information on local shopping and dining. I would recommend this B&B to anyone looking to have a great experience in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

A Lovely B&B

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Finlay House. The hostess, Yvonne, was super friendly and helpful. Her breakfasts were delicious and presented beautifully. Our room was very spacious, well-appointed and clean. The bathroom was large with much storage space. Finlay House has a great location within walking distance to most attractions. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you, Yvonne!

Great trip

It was our managers third day but it seems like a great fit for her! Very good food, personable morning chats. Location was excellent - could easily walk to town and felt safe and easy. I was worried about the Shakespeare room because the bathroom is down the hall but since it was a first floor suite, and they had a curtain dividing the dining area, it actually felt fairly enclosed.

We loved staying at Finlay BnB, Anne was wonderful to chat with, breakfasts were delicious and left us full. We loved how close it was to the main strip on NOTL and how we didn't have to worry about parking. Would definitely come back again

Very nice comfortable room. Close to the main strip of NOTL. I wanted to fit the bed in my car because it was so comfortable. Great wifi. Better than most hotels and we have stayed in them in many countries.

Cute enough, soap in bathroom wasn't functional, would have been nice to have fresh coffee in the morning as opposed to Keurig pods.

We had a great stay right in the heart of NOTL at the Finley House. My daughter and I loved our stay in the Bernard Shaw room with a private bathroom. The room was spotless and well appointed. Instructions on arrival were easy to follow. Breakfast in the morning was a real treat, homemade French toast, real Canadian maple syrup, bacon, orange juice, coffee and bananas. What a great way to end our stay. If you’re looking for a place to stay in NOTL I would highly recommended Finley House. I’d stay again.

The hosts were friendly and helpful with a warm smile and a genuine heart. The breakfasts were delicious. For an establishment that is not specifically handicapped accessible, it was more accessible than many places I’ve been. That being said if you need accessible accommodations this is not the place to stay.

Convenient last minute choice but tired property not managed by owners. Shakespeare Room, bath is private but not connected to the room. Poor guest communication. Too many contact points who did not share. Did not pass on request for GF breakfast. Told to book direct not through Expedia. (And yes it smells of weed, a lot)
