The Story

Pemberley House Bed and Breakfast is aptly named—for the Pemberley estate of author Jane Austen’s famous novel Pride and Prejudice is described as a “large, handsome stone building” situated within charming countryside. Seaforth’s vintage, yet newly refurbished, B&B establishment was built in 1874 during the Victorian era. And its welcoming facade echoes a time of slower paced living, garden soirees, and social “at homes.”

Proprietors John and Nancy Welter are keen to replicate an atmosphere of leisure and re-creation. With considerable experience hosting international university students in the past, they definitely know how to extend a welcome and to provide creature comforts for their guests. Extensive renovations have restored the look and the feel of Pemberley House. New bedsteads, mattress sets, bed linens, fluffy towels and accoutrements will set the tone for those staying at Pemberley House—along with its beautiful and functional French Provincial furnishings throughout. The Welter’s keen eye for quality antiques is evident—this grand old home has received a face-lift and a makeover.

Providing beautiful rooms, $109 + HST, delicious food, efficient amenities, and a friendly atmosphere are the goals of the Welters. They are people who enjoy people. Positive guest experience is the raison d’etre for all they do, for all they offer those who come through the elegant entrance of their home—designed to be their guests’ home while there. Visitors have the option of touring local attractions or enjoying indoor activities as well as badminton, volley ball, bocce, or croquet on Pemberley’s expansive lawns. It’s all about a relaxed, countryside experience and the pleasures of a small but progressive community.

From its gracious and beautiful foyer to the embedded Swarovski crystals of its bedroom duvets, Pemberley House is a place to be experienced as much as lived in. Treat yourself to its ambiance.

As Jane Austen once said, “To sit in the shade of a fine day and look upon verdure is the most perfect refreshment.”

First, dealing with Nancy and John during and after the booking process was smooth and pleasant. Emails were answered quickly and questions answered completely.

This 2 day stay was for our 37th anniversary which I had mentioned to Nancy.

Kimberley House offers the best pricing in the area for a great stay...but they go way beyond expectations.

To encourage mid week visits, they offer z great deal. Upon arrival, time being very flexible, one is welcomed with a traditional English cream tea, including good tea of course, home made yummy scones, a wide variety of jams for the scones and then, to top it all off, delicious Devon cream.

Even better, for the 2 night, mid week booking, you are treated to a gourmet dinner o one of your 2 nights....all included in the price.

Our hosts, Nancy and John, are convivial, caring hosts ensuring guests want for nothing

Then there is breakfast. Maple infused breakfast sausage, locally produced, as is the bacon. Farm fresh eggs, fresh fruit and toast. Wow!

All in all I highly recommend Pemberly House. It is also within half an hour to Goderich and Bayfield, both of which have loads to offer, but with similar accommodations being as much as 75% more expensive.

Don't miss out on a visit to Pemberly House.

We stayed at Pemberley House last year for our anniversary and liked it so much that we came back this year and stayed longer.

Pemberley House is a charming Victorian Mansion located in the quaint little town of Seaforth.

If you love antiques, Nancy will be happy to show you her vast collection of antique furniture and collectobles.

The accommodations are comfortable and welcoming. John and Nancy are wonderful hosts that are happy to chat if you like.

The breakfasts are delicious and massive - you wont go away hungry! You'll have lots of fuel to explore the many wonderful trails, sights and shopping the area has to offer.

They're close to a number of small tourist areas including Grand Bend and The Pinery.

Pemberley House is well worth a visit and you'll have lot's to do if you like drives in the country, amazing scenery, antique shopping and exploring small towns.

John and Nancy were wonderful hosts. Their home is full of character and full of beautiful antiques. The breakfasts were amazing, and huge! The town of Seaforth is nice with several great restaurants within walking distance of the B&B.

We'll definitely be back for another visit!

Though unplanned, we had a very pleasant stay at John and Nancy's super cozy and elegant victorian mansion. They are excellent hosts who made our accomodation as comfortable as possible. The decor gives a very quintessential character to the place and as others have already mentioned, the breakfast spread is out of this world. You would definitely never go hungry from their place. We loved our stay and plan to return during the summers to explore more.

We were stranded in Seaforth by a winter storm and John and Nancy welcomed us with open arms. A beautiful Victorian house with a magical Christmas theme with warm and inviting hosts. Very historic and outstanding hospitality - forever grateful! Highly recommended as a place to stay. Best wishes, Cheryl and Mike

There were 6 in our party, from Ontario, Québec and Europe. We were all so happy to arrive and find this lovely B&B in the heart of farming country. Nancy and John were very accommodating and kind. The rooms were quiet and well appointed and the breakfasts yummy, complete with an amazing assortment of jams! This is a real jewel.

This is an amazing place to stay. It was a perfect location to stay when we explored the area of Bayfield, Goderich, Blyth etc. Would not hesitate to highly recommend staying at the Pemberley House B&B. John and Nancy are warm and welcoming hosts. The Pemberley House has a great vibe and is filled with unique and interesting pieces with each having a history of it's own. A very clean and comfortable B&B. The breakfast was delicious. You can tell that John and Nancy have put a lot of thoughtful touches into making sure their guests feel welcomed. We will definitely be returning. We suggest you stay here...and you will not be disappointed. "Two thumbs up".

The hosts John and Nancy were amazing and very accommodating! The house and rooms are adorned with antiques and lots of special touches. The food will make your mouth water - nevermind the tasty homemade desserts that Nancy typically has on hand -they are delicious! The location was very convenient and I will be sure to stay here the next time I am in town. Thanks again for everything!

We were delighted to find this B & B in Seaforth, as there are few options in the area. My wife, 5-yr-old daughter and I stayed two nights over Christmas, to be close to nearby family. It's a lovely old house, and the living room and dining room were both dressed up for Christmas, with decorations, trees, twinkly villages and much charm. Our room upstairs was very nice, very clean, and the small bathroom attached was perfectly functional. No one else was staying, so it was very quiet. Breakfast the next morning was terrific, with bacon, sausage, eggs, cinnamon buns, fruit, etc. Our hosts were nice, not super-chatty, which I rather liked. They also seemed fairly new at running a B&B, which made sense since they only opened earlier in the year!! Altogether a great Christmas stay- somehow they even convinced Santa to leave a present for our daughter.
