Norfolk Guest House

Stayed one night with my partner for a celebration at the grand view suite. We opted to have breakfast come to our suite and a later check out. It was a wonderful night. The bed was comfortable, and the room had a wonderfully decorated the fireplace that allowed my partner and I to feel cozy throughout the night. The room also came with a jacuzzi bathtub which was a wonderful experience. Breakfast was delicious, the hosts were welcoming and friendly and overall my partner and I can’t wait to come back! We recommend for anyone who wishes to have an elevated experience while saving a bang for their buck.

Really enjoyed our stay at Norfolk Guest House. Booking and check-in was simple - all done online and by email. We stayed in the Queen Suite, a fairly large room with a sitting area and a nice jacuzzi too. The only drawback is that it’s on the ground floor so you can’t really open the blinds. Breakfast was included and was freshly cooked, tasted good and fresh. A big plus is it’s dog friendly too. Walking distance to downtown Guelph as well and only a 20-ish minute drive to Elora.

We stayed here for the weekend in order to go wedding dress shopping and the entire place was immaculate. The rooms were gorgeous, the breakfast was delicious, and there was a gorgeous outdoors space to sit and have some drinks/ coffee in the morning. It was in walking distance to downtown so very easy to get around. The host went above and beyond during our stay and I can’t wait to go back here someday. ❤️

This absolute gem of a guesthouse and it's owner went above and beyond to make our stay absolutely unforgettable. We, a family of 12 (Inc 3 children), all hailing from different parts of the world inc Ireland, England, Vancouver and New York, reserved the whole property for a stay close to my sister's wedding venue in Eramosa and when my sister saw the place, she and her husband loved it so much, they decided to have their pre-wedding drinks in the owners private garden the night before the big day. It was absolutely perfect! The property itself is incredibly appointed with luxurious style. My husband and I stayed in the penthouse, using the bedroom off the side of it for our daughter (6 yrs) which was perfect but we had the benefit of seeing every bedroom and each is as beautiful, spacious, and comfortable as the next. I particularly loved the art on the walls throughout the property and the history of some of the furniture. We had a stormy day during our stay and most of us took full advantage of the amazing jacuzzis in our rooms, so luxurious and relaxing whilst watching the storm outside. Breakfast was another highlight with fresh fruit, fresh baked croissants then cooked to order various breakfast goodies cooked by owner Janet and chef Jenny, be it omelette, pancakes or avocado and bacon on sourdough for our family member with egg allergy. Janet makes the most amazing fresh breakfast muffins too which are simply too good to pass up! The guest house is a 5-10 min walk from down town Guelph which was perfect for our party, some visiting hair salons, others visiting the cathedral and others visiting various delicious eateries, all of which were recommended by the guesthouse owner Janet, in her booking confirmation email, all of which were absolutely fantastic for food. We particularly loved Baker St Station, the Wooly and La Cucina. Janet, was absolutely fantastic as we needed to make a couple of changes (as often the case with family weddings) and she was happy to make recommendations and set up her private garden absolutely beautifully for the pre-wedding drinks where people arrived from all over the world (the wedding couple have lived in quite a few countries). Each and every guest commented upon how beautiful the private garden was, how beautiful the property was and how welcoming Norfolk Guest house was after long journeys from worldwide destinations! We were able to get some take out delivered for the kids to enjoy in the penthouse whilst the grown ups enjoyed drinks and canapes in the garden. The wedding itself was beautiful and again our host was happy to hear all about it over a leisurely breakfast the day after. It really felt like a home from home for our 5 night stay and we will definitely be back to stay again in future now we have some true Guelphites in our family. It was truly fantastic!

This is our 2nd year staying at Norfolk and we're looking forward to our next visit! We stayed in Penthouse and Bombay rooms and they were lovely. Took a star off Rooms because some cleaning equipment/vacuum was left outside the room on the landing which took away from the otherwise amazing ambiance. Jennifer made us two really yummy breakfasts and was very friendly. The breakfast is a high point for us :) The grounds are amazing! and it's nice and close (but not TOO close) to downtown. Thank you! Ray Artedio

If you are looking for a quiet getaway, Norfolk B & B is the place to go. I stayed in the gorgeous Queen Suite. This B & B is so peaceful. Janet and all her staff are welcoming and friendly. The breakfasts and service by Chef Jennifer were outstanding! The breakfasts were delicious. Such a great way to start the day. I enjoyed everything about my stay!

We had a wonderful stay at the Pandora Room. Janet was very helpful and answered all our questions. Our highlight was the breakfast, freshly cooked every morning. We would definitely choose this place again when we are in Guelph.

Lovely experience! Beautiful grounds and tastefully decorated! Perfect for pictures. Very impressed with our Grand view room, over 1000 square feet, with a rap around balcony absolutely gorgeous! Bed was huge and comfortable! Wifi worked great. I would recommend filling the jacuzzi tab well in advance, as is a nice size and it takes a while to fill in. The shower is also for 2. Breakfast was delicately plated and delicious, my husband loved the coffee. Janet the owner made us feel really comfortable! She’s very knowledgeable when it comes to great place to visit in the area! We had a great time, and will be recommending this gem to all our friends.

~ Lost our Reservation on our Wedding Da y: Glitch They Said... ~ My husband had booked a room for us a month in advance with a $100 deposit for our wedding day as a surprise to me. I found out on the evening of being married, that when he went to drop off our bags that morning, they had lost our reservation. When they finally found it (computer glitch they told him), they said they were full. He suggested that couples who had made a reservation only a week ago (and were not due to arrive to the B&B for a few hours) should be bumped and we should get a room because we reserved a full month ago and it was our wedding day. They proverbially shrugged their shoulders.

Booked the Turkish room for Thursday night till Sunday, every thing seemed to be going good. Friday afternoon Janet knocked on the door saying our credit card had been declined, I asked if she could wait for my fiancé to get back with our credit card so we could work it out and was rudely told no and to come to her office. I went down and told her that there was nothing I could do until fiancé got back. When he got back she had locked him out so he had to ring the bell to come back in, he gave her our credit card and she rang it through with no problem because she had written down the wrong information in the first place. We were told that normally you aren't allowed to use your own private jacuzzi tub after midnight because it is so loud but that there was no problem for us to use it at any hour because no one else was staying there. On Saturday there was a knock on the door and we opened it up to find cops telling us we needed to leave because there were noise complaints and allegations of smoking in the room. Completely untrue because I have severe asthma. We packed up our stuff and the officers told us that Janet was going to give us a refund. I paid $500 for our stay and got a refund for $100. Janet was unbelievably rude and we were completely discriminated against because my fiancé is black and I'm white. We were completely blindsided because after the credit card issue was fixed she asked us if we were coming down for breakfast in the morning and all was (we thought) so we went to our room and went to bed. We were woken up several times that night to people talking in the hallway but being understanding didn't make a complaint and were woken up by cops. This is disgusting and I have never been treated like this. I will be suing for the rest of what I paid and sharing this review on every site I can. Also place offers cable and you only get the American CNN channel. Very disappointed and nearly ruined our anniversary

A beautiful bed and breakfast guest house close to downtown Guelph. The Bombay room was very nice with a comfortable bed and bathroom as big as the room itself! Only had the chance to be there one night. Wonderful hostess and a great experience!

Beautiful but quirky. Booked here and was disappointed however with the flexibility of the dining schedule. Won't be back.
