I stayed 9 nights in the Van Gogh room (I was in town for an extended stay on business). I have absolutely zero complaints! The Van Gogh room is perfect for a solo traveler (leisure or business), or a minimalist couple. The bed was very comfortable! The small desk allowed me to work in the room and when the weather...

Really good B&B in a good location - quiet yet convenient. Really pleasant couple run the house and serve a great breakfast. Very good comfy bed and the house was lovely and warm despite the masses of snow outside. Free wi-fi which is always apprecaited and very good value. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely old home, meticulously cleaned, comfortable, with excellent breakfast. Breakfast is hearty enough so that you don't begin feeling hungry until quite late in the day. We stayed in the Ashwood suite, which is on the top floor. A big bedroom with small refrigerator, armchairs and Queen bed and a smaller room with two single beds. There is a good-sized... More

We would stay again and were very happy with all aspects of our stay. No complaints at all. Friendly service and a charming and immaculate room and house with good food - a definite "10". A couple of guests had fussy eaters as children and the hosts accommodated them graciously. There was a kettle with a selection of teas outside... More

We stayed at the Avalon B & B in April over the Easter holidays and were given a friendly greeting by our host Christine and her dog Apollo when we arrived at lunchtime (I was pleasantly surprised that we could check-in this early, saving us carrying our bags round Ottawa all day!) We were shown to our room (we chose... More

The Avalon B & B is a beautiful home in a convenient location near the University of Ottawa and the Byward Market. Christine and her husband were extremely friendly, helpful, and hospitable. Christine, with whom I had most contact during my stay, was very easy to communicate with, and upon my arrival oriented me to the house, and provided me... More

The hostess was extremely friendly and gave us some helpful advice. Christine had a never ending smile on her face and was delighted to answer any questions we had. She asked what we prefered to eat and if we had any allergies. We preferred low salt, but assured her that just not adding extra salt was fine. It is a... More

The location is excellent, in close walking distance to the town. The home is beautiful and very comfortable to stay in. Christine is a friendly host and very helpful in giving recommendations of places to see or places to eat.

We really enjoyed our stay at Avalan. A beautifully renovated home with a lot of character. Christine, the host, is an amazing cook and extremely helpful in getting you around in the city. The room was updated and clean. The ensuite bathroom provided you with all needed (inlcuding an iron and hair dryer/amenities in the shower). Breakfast was incredible and... More

Avalon was superb. Warm hospitality generously extended by the hosts. The room was very comfortable. Dining room elegant and the breakfasts were fantastic. The food different every morning and creatively prepared. Great cooking and nice people.
