Quaint Cottage In Old Town Steps To Shops And Restuarants

In the Heart of Old Town Niagara-on-the-Lake

The quaint Swinton Cottage is the perfect place for a romantic getaway or a memorable family retreat.

Located in the oldest section of Niagara-on-the Lake, this century old home is only a 2 minute stroll to the downtown Queen Street area, where you will find world class restaurants, the Shaw Festival and local boutiques. You can also visit some of Ontario’s most famous wineries.

The Swinton Cottage (circa 1890), has been lovingly restored and features all the original charm with all the modern amenities.

Relax and unwind from the days adventures as you nestle in front of a kindling fire. Savor local wines with your culinary masterpiece made in the fully-equipped kitchen or enjoy the outdoor garden while your meal sizzles on the grill.

We invite you to stay at The Swinton Cottage in beautiful Niagara-on-the–Lake for an experience you will never forget.

Great Location
Nice cottage in the perfect location. Loved the 1800 period look with modern conveniences. Enjoyed having coffee on the front porch away from the Main Street, but only it is only a short walk away.

Charming home in great location
We had a lovely stay here - very clean, charming decor and just a few blocks from the center of town. The check in was a wee bit stressful since we didn't obtain the keycode until we called just before 4 pm. But Luisa did call us after I sent an email and she was very friendly. Had a bit of ant problem on the 2nd floor in the bathroom from a small hole in the ceiling. Was able to fix the problem with duct tape that was in the home. Luisa was very responsive and although she couldn't get anyone out to the house before we left, our duct tape did the job for the duration. Really appreciated how close this house was to town.

Shaw Festival visit to NOTL
We spent four nights at the Swinton Cottage and found it to meet all our needs. The house has a great location three blocks from Queen Street and all the Play venues, restaurants and shopping. The house is on a quiet street and has off street parking. The host checked on us to make sure we were satisfied with everything during our stay.

delightful cottage, closed to downtown
It's a lovely cottage, with all the amenities you'll need. And it is only a short walking distance to downtown Niagara-on-the-Lake and the Shaw Festival. We hope to return someday.

Beautiful cottage style home in great location.
This place was beautiful with a front porch perfect for drinking coffee and watching the dogs walk by on the sidewalk out front. The inside is pretty and peaceful. The only thing I would mention for renters that care about this is that the beds are all very FIRM. The location is 2 blocks from the Main Street and perfect walking distance to anything. Great place!
