I don't know where to begin to describe my love for Echo Woods B&B. The owners Darlene and Bob are the loveliest couple, they define how a B&B experience can be above and beyond.
Upon our arrival, we are given a tour of the beautiful house, with its own library, guest living space with a small kitchen fully stocked with teas, and the dining area for breakfast. The house is beautifully decorated and makes the perfect set for taking pictures for our special occasion.
We got the Whispering Pines Room which is the largest with a balcony and fireplace.
Inside the room:
- A mini fridge with milk and cream
- A Keurig with complementary coffees, teas and specialty hot chocolates
- A Dyson fan & thermostat controlled fireplace
- An Apple router (super fast internet)
- A TV loaded with Netflix for your chills ;)
So first impressions are damn impressive, but it doesn't end there!
The washroom is loaded with an extensive array of toiletries that you won't even find free in many luxury hotels, like nail polish remover, deodorant, brand new sleeping eye mask and more! The shower has both a regular handheld shower head and a rainfall one, with temperatures on an individual dial with numbers you can adjust (no hot lava vs icy cold settings here!). You also get your own spa bathrobes, I mean WOW.
Breakfast is also a gourmet experience I would have happily paid more than $20 a person for. Darlene is very passionate about cooking and sources the best ingredients for her guests. On both days, we woke up to a 3 course breakfast. For my 2 days I got:
1. Fruit parfait; pear and nut muffins; sausage, scrambled eggs and french toast with an apple chutney
2. Citrus and yogurt plate with pistachios; cranberry scones; mixed herb eggs benny on potato cakes with bacon
Everything had a unique spin and you can just tell the love that went into the food. You just feel so spoiled with your own personalized pot of tea or coffee, homemade butters and jams. She also checks with your allergies, dietary restrictions and preferences when you book and after you check in.
Also, we didn't have snow tires so we had a lot of trouble going up their sloped driveway but Bob was nice enough to park for us.
I would very very strongly recommend them to anyone for a special occasion and can't wait to go back!
