Marzena and Yarek were welcoming and were amazing hosts. The style is classically french, eloquent, clean and fresh. Lots of unique pieces in the home and a great place to converse over breakfast. There is a library, upstairs coffee room, and largen dining room; each with their own personalities. The highlight was the three course breakfast which included a yogurt parfait, eggs benny, and sweet pancake dessert. Breakfast was satisfying and took us 1hr to finish. Note, depending on which room you're in, you will hear the traffic starting around 8am.

Fabulous
Great place. Hospitality was superb. Very clean and rooms were spacious. The breakfast was Michelin star level. The eggs Benedict and other appetizers pre and post breakfast were to die for. The common area had help yourself coffee, teas and water. Also owners made sure guests were socially distancing without being intrusive on your surrounding space. Highly recommended. Marg and I would like to say thank you for making our 35th anniversary special.

The owners are personally invested, not just in running a high-quality property, but in meeting and welcoming their guests as well. They join the table for the end of breakfast, check in with them periodically during the day to make sure everything's right. There is an atmosphere that they are hosting family for a holiday or a wedding, only everything is on much fancier plates.

Hosts very hospitable. Breakfast large, flavourful and plated well. Food lasted us until dinner. It is across from very large walking/cycling park, easy walk to historic centre of Niagara on the Lake. Guests had a coffee room on upper level and a sitting room on the main level, so lots of room to spread out if wanted. We were worried about parking for our large truck, but there was enough space. I would stay again when in the area.

A pleasant stroll to all downtown and historic activities. We came for Shaw Festival and were delighted with our stay at Darlington House. It's designed and built specifically as a B and B. Each room has a nice bathroom/shower with good water pressure. 4 bedrooms available. Yarek (Host) gave a thorough orientation. A quest coffee room adjoins 4 bedrooms on second floor (Keurig) with lots of traveler information and wine tour "buy one get one free" type offers. Breakfast is attractively prepared and quite tasty. We had Muffin Cup with Egg and Broccoli first day followed by "Eggs in Clouds with side of Asparagus second day. Side fruit/berries both days and home made desserts (Banana Bread as example). Marzena (Hostess) was attentive to refill coffee. Overall, price was competitive, atmosphere is quiet and surroundings inviting. There are many places to stay in Niagra on Ontario. You won't regret selecting Darlington House if you want the experience of visiting this historic town and tranquility afforded by purveyors interested in success of their livelihood. T
