Ye Olde Walkerville Bed & Breakfast - Windsor

We booked one night on our way through Windsor, heading back to northern Ontario from a road trip to Chicago. We drove through horrible winter weather with ice, snow and hiway closures. We arrived 3 hours later than expected so it was quite late and my friend and I were exhausted and frazzled. The host, Renee, greeted us at the door and helped bring in our luggage amid a snow squall. We entered into this old house's beautiful, warm embrace, wonderfully accented by Renee's cheery welcome. Quickly settled into our cozy room. The beds were super comfy. Best sleep of our road trip. We woke to a lovely breakfast and some charming conversation with Renee who shared stories about the house's history. All in all, a great stay. I would stay again and I would recommend to a friend.

What an absolute gem of a place!! I can't wait for a reason to come back. Renee was super responsive and clear in communication. The place itself is lovely and Renee is just an incredible host. We needed a place to crash for the night after taking a train in from Toronto and before picking up our rental car to head to Pelee Point the next day, and this was absolutely perfect. The cooked breakfast was ample and generous. 100% would recommend and would return! Thank you Renee!!!!

Renee is an incredible host. She will accommodate the needs of any type of customer. It is a quiet and safe location. I love that a small bar fridge is available as well in the rooms. The rooms are so clean too!!

Enjoyed very much. Host was excellent. Rates were excellent. Breakfast was outstanding. Only 2 small bummers: toilet in my room had little flush strength and #2, breakfast not offered 1 morning and rate reduced. Overall highly recommended.

Went there to view the property with my Fiancé for our up and coming wedding. When we got there the property meager had no idea we were coming, that the person who i had emailed with was the owner... so does the owner not communicate with the emoyees? The website says it can accommodate a wedding up to 50 guests, when we walked the house, it barley looked like therr was room for ten people. Just a lot of inconsistencies. A good lesson learned.

This place is a gem! It has character, furnished with authentic pieces throughout. Our room ( second floor ) was cozy and linens were lovely. The top floor room ( where family members were staying) is huge and has a great sitting area , which we all enjoyed as we were booked in for a reunion in Windsor. Breakfast was more than ample. Host, Renee is delightful and welcoming. We would definitely go back.

Simple self check-in. Room was comfortable enough and had our own private washroom. Next morning, Renee had prepared a 5 ☆ breakfast. Wont hesitate to return.

Truly loved my stay, Renee is a warm and friendly host helped with my questions and made me feel at home; I enjoyed the Room was decorated eloquently. Would highly recommended for your next stay!

Owner was very nice. Room was very nice compared to other b&b's we've visited before but, when we arrived we were told we'd purchased the "no breakfast" option and that breakfast was $10 pp but... website CLEARLY states "Each of our rooms offer cable TV, Meridan phone with free local calls and a full, made-to-order COMPLIMENTARY breakfast." How can there be a fee if breakfast is complimentary? Makes no sense if breakfast is complimentary. Plus, when i went back to the site where we booked our stay, we saw no option for breakfast or no breakfast...it's a B&B, not a "B and/or B". Still a nice place to stay if visiting Windsor/Walkerville.

We loved our stay at the Walkerville B&B! The house is beautiful and the rooms are comfortable, with exceptionally charming decor. The hosts, Larry and Joyce, are absolutely wonderful. They are so sweet, extremely accommodating, and very knowledgeable about the area. There were two of us our first night, and we had an unexpected third person the next two nights with no trouble at all. We had a cot brought up into our room, and even though the room we had (Tyler's Chamber) was small, it was still very comfortable with the three of us. The house is in the older area of Windsor, located on a street of lovely old homes. It is quiet, and perfect for reading and relaxing outside on the porch. It is a very short drive into town; or a very pleasant walk (about 15 minute walk to shops, restaurants, and train station; about 45 minute walk to downtown Windsor). Breakfast is truly incredible! There's something different and creative every day, made with local ingredients. We started off with fruit -- baked apples, and bowls of cantaloupe and watermelon topped with cheese and fresh mint leaves from the garden. Then a main course, such as sausages paired with french toast made with croissants, topped with blueberries and maple syrup. There was always a type of gourmet bread on the side. It felt like we were eating food worthy of a 5-star restaurant, with wonderful coffee, a cozy atmosphere, and great conversation! We hope to stay here again the next time we are in Windsor!

If for some reason you find yourself going to Windsor, I highly recommend this lovely place. Price on par with local hotels, quiet comfy rooms, delicious breakfasts. And it's central Walkerville, which has lots of bars and shops and restaurants (except on Christmas Eve, the whole area mostly shuts down).

An excellent place to spend the night, conveniently located near the train station. Larry and Joyce are perfect hosts, they even prepared a delicious Vegan breakfast for me, as requested. Highly recommended.

Warm, welcoming and the epitome of graciousness! My partner and I were looking to spend a night "away" before the birth of our daughter in May, and figured that if we couldn't exactly swing a trip out of town (we're from the Detroit area), we could still use our passports and at least FEEL like we'd traversed a great distance. Found Ye Old Walkerville B&B on a travel site, and booked it as soon as we saw what charm could be found by spending essentially the same cash as a swanky riverfront hotel. I am so very glad that we did. We were welcomed by Larry, one of the proprietors of the B&B. A more jovial and friendly human being we'd yet to encounter - until we met his wife, Joyce, that is! We were shown to our room and given a rundown of the area, as well as maps, guides and helpful suggestions. The room itself (the Samantha suite on the topmost floor of the turn-of-the-century home) was all things cozy. Fireplace, soft rugs, the most well-stuffed down comforter on the planet atop the king-size bed. Oh, and the bath!! My partner is a towering 6'5" and can NEVER fit in a bath tub with all his extremities submerged - but here he could! Loads of hot water, fluffy towels and built-in soaps and shampoos. Truly lovely. The location is terrific, with easy access to many shops, restaurants and bars, but in a very quiet neighborhood. You get the best of both worlds this way. All else pales in comparison with what we discovered the next morning, however. We sleepily trudged down the stairs for our 8:30 breakfast date and found the dining room to be laid out beautifully, with Larry and Joyce busy at making breakfast. Larry served us tea, coffee and juice, while Joyce chatted happily at us from the kitchen. She knew from our welcome email that I have issues with gluten, and so had prepared a special breakfast that even I could enjoy! As Larry regaled us with stories, Joyce brought our first course to us: a beautifully poached Bosq pear nestled in lavender-sprinkled sour cream with fresh cranberries and maple syrup. Divine. Once the remainder of the B&Bs guests joined us, we were served beautiful veggie frittatas with sauteed spinach, roasted tomato slices and crisp bacon. My favorite part? Joyce had tried her hand at a gluten-free blueberry biscuit recipe - and they were WONDERFUL. Sweet, delicately salty, doughy and with a wonderful outer crustiness. I was so touched that she went out of her way to do this - and was sort of awed by how delectable they were. Noticing my enthusiasm, she came out of the kitchen brandishing a bag of the remaining dough and instructed me to take it home! Which I did. And I am happily coating my keyboard in the crumbs from that second batch of biscuits as I type this. =) If you're looking for a peaceful nights sleep, preceded by an easy walk to a night out and followed by one of the most beautifully thought-out, delicious breakfasts you've ever had...go see Larry and Joyce at Ye Old Walkerville. It was truly rejuvenating...and we'll be back to introduce our tiny human to our new friends!

This B&B is as charming as it gets! I spent one night here, as I was in the area for work. Joyce and Larry are lovely folks, very hospitable and friendly! The room I received for the night was decorated very nicely, and the bed was phenomenally comfortable. I loved the added touches of bottled water in the mini fridge, the Jacuzzi bath tub, and the Keurig machine in the hallway with a good variety of teas and coffee. Breakfast in the morning was amazing. Joyce and Larry prepared us lemon ricotta pancakes with blueberry syrup, with all the fixings of apples, scones, cheese slices, muffins, and lots of tea in addition. I loved the scones, and Joyce was nice enough to pack a couple up for me to take on the road! Highly recommended for a relaxing night away from the typical touristy hotel chain.
