If you are lucky enough that Ruth has availability when you are visiting NOTL, don’t bother looking any further for a place to stay. Ruth is the classiest and friendliest host we’ve ever had at a B and B, and we’ve stayed at many. She sets the bar high. First, the house is gorgeous. We were on the top floor in a suite with a queen bed and ensuite with tub and shower, and a mini fridge. It was so spacious, peaceful, and well appointed; lovely bed linens , comfy bed, and One Earth products (made in NOTL). It’s a beautiful space. It has a vanity you can put ample toiletries on and more towel bars/hangers than two people should ever need (lack of vanity space and nowhere to hang wet towels are pet peeves-not a problem here.) We spent the afternoon drinking wine on her gorgeous patio, and invited her to join us because we so enjoyed her company. She’s the type of host who reads her guests and she’d have never intruded if we hadn’t invited her; don’t worry that she won’t give you privacy if that’s what you want, as she gives you plenty, as well as ample leisure space in her home. You’ll have use of the dining area, the front wraparound porch, and the front sitting room with gas fireplace. Drinking wine on her patio and watching the cardinals at her bird feeder was a highlight! You can come and go as you please without concern as she gives you the door code. Location is perfect, with a one minute walk to NOTL’s gorgeous downtown, and bikes for rent at the Oban inn down the street (use the ZOOM bike app.) Breakfast was a lovely fruit/granola parfait, delicious smoothie, and homemade frittata! We also loved her cat Jazzie but she’ll keep the cat in her private space if you’re not a cat person. Thank you for such a wonderful stay, Ruth! We miss you already.…

Two Bees was such a wonderful place to stay in the beautiful town of Niagara on the Lake. Ruth & Steve are such warm accommodating people. Their bed & breakfast exceeded my expectations. Our room was with private bathroom was beautifully furnished and very comfortable. They were the friendliest hosts and were able to provide amazing recommendations for local restaurants and things to see around the town.

I was able to make a last-minute booking for a room during the peach festival. The online booking went well and I wanted to inquire about parking before check-in, so we could attend a local tour. The owner called me back very shortly after my call, even though I hadn't left a message. She informed me during our call, of her absence during our stay but assurd me the property manager would be there during the check-in time. I was also told breakfast would be at the well-known golf club down the street, given her absence and that the club has a standing agreement with this establishment. There was a miscommunication about check-in times and we had to walk back after our initial attempt. We returned before the manager and waited on the porch, where she greeted us on her arrival. We were asked to supply our vehicle information and given keys to our room, but no information was shared about house rules and what was available to us. The manager disappeared for a few minutes and returned at which point we were directed upstairs, still without the code for the front door. After we brought up our things, my spouse returned downstairs to obtain the front door code, with no one in sight. He rang the bell, and still, no one. He slowly proceeded downstairs in the private area, calling out "hello", and was greeted abruptly and given an uncertain sounding response with the code. While fully aware B&Bs are someone's home and wanting to respect the private areas, very little details were shared about what was acceptable and what wasn't. We asked for drinking glasses, a request also met with some hesitation. We had been in the sun all day, and simply wanted some water, and we had also purchased sparkling water from the grocery store. Breakfast the next mroning was a similar kind of ordeal where we walked to the golf club, as instructed after being told about the standing agreement, and they knew nothing of our visit. I retrieved our booking confirmation, which they left to verify, then came back explaining we should have received a voucher, which they filled out with us. Breakfast was caped at 30$. Coffee and tea for us both was 5$ and the remaining option was the early bird breakfast. We gladly paid the balance to enjoy fresh fruit with breakfast. The staff at the golf club were lovely, welcoming and very accommodating, given our lack of information about the arrangements. The location and home are absolutely lovely. The decor is not modern, but the home is very clean. The front porch is amazing and had we stayed longer, I would have spent more time enjoying it. The proximity to downtown is wonderful and allowed to explore the peach festival, and to seek refuge when we arrived at the wrong time. The beauty products are prepared specially for the B&B at One Earth, a short walk away. The shopkeeper was very plesant and offered suggestions on where to eat and what we might enjoy during the evening. We won't be returning, but I feel as though the owner's absence was the main reason for our blunders. Given the cost of the stay, we'll look into a property that will ensure a warmer welcome, rather than simply offering a room to stay and a place to park the vehicle.…

My husband & I spent the weekend there. Ruth & Steve were so friendly. They took the time to get to know us & made us feel so comfortable. They are a lovely couple & great hosts. It was exceptionally clean. The beds were very comfortable. We had gourmet breakfast on the beautiful wrap around porch. You are able to park in the big driveway & not on the street. The lake, restaurants, shops, boutiques, & golfing are all within walking distance. It’s a perfect location. The Falls are about 30 minutes away. All the wineries are a short few minutes drive from here as well. Ruth & Steve hooked us up with dinner reservations & gave us a lot of recommendations on what to do in town. We will definitely go back & stay with them again! Vance & Delana

My wife and I stayed at Two Bees for 2 nights last weekend. Ruth & Steve were warm, caring hosts who went out of their way to make certain we had everything we needed for a special weekend. They offered us wonderful breakfasts, snacks and a glass of wine at opportune moments. Their home is beautiful and is less than a block from the downtown core. Everything was spotlessly clean and our bed was very comfortable. All the boutique shops and restaurants are just a short walk from their gorgeous front porch. We will happily return!!!

The rooms were all beautiful, clean and all conveniences were provided, but what set Two Bees apart from other B&B was the hospitality. The owner welcomed us with fruit and chocolate, spent time with us, took a genuine interest in us and gave each of us 110% to ensure our stay was enjoyable. The breakfast was top notch, gardens tranquil, but at the end of the day it was the owner who made this one of the best travel experiences we have had. I would highly recommend staying at Two Bees.

We were very lucky to find this beautiful place. We received a very warm welcome from Steve and Ruth who clearly enjoy hosting. The rooms are clean, spacious and luxurious. Breakfast was amazing and the location can't be beat just a few steps from the main commercial street on a quiet side street. We loved our stay! Strongly recommended.
