My husband and I have been staying at the Birmingham Manor Bed & Breakfast for many years now during our annual visit to the Stratford Festival. Elena and Dom are warm and friendly hosts, the house is beautifully decorated, the rooms are spotless and comfortable and the 3 course breakfast is a perfect start to the day.

We stayed at Birmingham Manor for the first time for a couple of nights when attending the Stratford Shakespeare Festival. The Manor is well-located to downtown, dining, and the theatre venues. Our room and private bath were comfortable, quiet, clean, and well-appointed. Elena and Dom are excellent hosts. Elena was very knowledgeable about the plays the festival was performing; it was a pleasure to chat with her about them. Breakfast each morning was quite good; the food was well prepared and beautifully served. It was a pleasure to have breakfast with the other guests at the dining room table and chat about plays we had seen or were going to see, the world and more. Next time we visit Stratford we will certainly stay here!

We finally returned to Stratford in September, staying once again at Birmingham Manor. Dom and Elena made us feel so very welcome, and our stay was tremendous! From the beauty of the home to to friendliness of our hosts, we were once again thrilled with our choice to stay at Birmingham. The breakfasts were exceptional, as we remembered, and we really enjoyed seeing Dom and Elena again. We will definitely return next year!

The house is comfortable and filled with beautiful handcrafted Woodwork. The bedrooms are extremely comfortable, large, the bathrooms were updated and very nice. Our hosts/owners provided assistance when needed and each morning we enjoyed a wonderful homemade creative three-course breakfast.

We have had the pleasure of staying with Elena and Dom several times in the past. It was so great to be able to be back with them after Covid. The room we stayed in had had a revamp and we had the most comfortable mattress in the world. As usual the breakfast was a gourmet feast. The property is gorgeous and so well maintained. We have already rebooked to go back in October!

10 out of 10! My husband and I enjoyed 2 nights at the truly lovely Birmingham Manor Bed & Breakfast. You can see and feel the love and care that has been put into this beautiful old manor home. Our hosts Elena and Dom are warm and inviting and their attention to even the smallest details were evident during our stay. Our room was lovely and the bed super comfortable. Delicious, creative 3 course breakfasts gave us a terrific start to our day. The grounds of the property are meticulously cared for with a big wrap around front porch to enjoy morning coffee. Highly recommend and look forward to visiting this beautiful home again.

Thank you Kim for your review, it was lovely meeting you and S. Thank you for noticing all the details and efforts we put into maintaining our home. It’s an old lady! Born in 1904…we love it and its history. Our gardens are a place of respite for us and our guests, as is the porch-a perfect spot for that first coffee in the morning! We hope to host you again on your next Stratford visit.

My husband and I recently traveled from the States to Stratford, Ontario for a long weekend and stayed at Birmingham Manor. We were blown away by our experience! It was truly adorable! . The rooms are absolutely perfect-very comfortable and with great attention to detail. It was like stepping back in time. Elena and Dom were perfect hosts. When we needed to arrange a later check-in, we were accommodated with absolutely no problem, even when we had to email that it was going to be later than we thought due to some delays getting across the border. The front porch might have been our favorite feature. Every morning, coffee or tea is offered before breakfast and we made a habit of taking our coffee to the front porch to enjoy the beautiful weather and the nice neighborhood. I would be completely remiss, if I did not mention the food! Each breakfast was a 3 course meal with fruit, a main dish and a breakfast dessert! We were so full after breakfast that we skipped lunch the 3 days were there. Elena was very kind to ask about any allergies prior to our stay and confirm again when we got there. The breakfasts were beautiful, unique, and most importantly delicious! We very much enjoyed getting to know our hosts and other guests who were staying at the B&B. If you are looking for a wonderful experience in a beautiful historic home in a wonderful town, we HIGHLY recommend Birmingham Manor.…
