The Highland Manor

We were fortunate to stay for two nights at this glorious residence in Owen Sound. Everything positive that has been written about the Manor is true. Close to the town, it is a lovely brisk 10 minute walk to the heart of the town. Situated on the escarpment the position of the home is perfect for nature lovers. The Manor, beautifully worn, steeped in history, with elegant furnishings belongs in another era. To complement this all was the delightful, accomplished host, Linda. She genuinely wished to make our stay memorable in August. They love to converse with their guests and this also makes the stay special. Together with Paul, we enjoyed listening to their stories about this historical home. Our room, with it's private bathroom and balcony was 5 star. The morning breakfast was perfection. Linda and Paul also shared their knowledge about Owen Sound and pointed out the best spots to explore - and they were right! A Jewel in the Crown of Owen Sound because the owners care deeply about their beautiful home. Thank you for a lovely visit.…

Magnificent house, hosts and furnishings

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Highland Manor. Our hosts Linda and Paul were very friendly and accommodating during our stay. Breakfasts were very tasteful and plentiful. Bedroom were clean, large, comfortable and beautifully furnished. Bed mattress was fantastic which resulted in great sleeps. Our hosts were always helpful with sharing their local knowledge of the area to assist in our daily explorations of the Bruce Peninsula area. Will definitely recommend to friends and family.

An incredible, memorable weekend stay

We had an incredible stay at the Highland Manor. This is a truly unique accommodation. The moment we walked in we knew we had found something special. Linda and Paul's gorgeous Victorian mansion is without a doubt in the top 10 places I've ever stayed. It is like walking inside of a perfectly preserved museum artifact. The care they put into this home shows. They are gracious, dedicated hosts that care deeply about the satisfaction of their guests. They clearly have a deep sense of joy when someone appreciates their historic home as much as they do. The rooms were very comfortable and well maintained. Everything was immaculately clean. It is also a very quiet accommodation. We slept very well. The two breakfasts we had, cooked by Linda, were both incredible. To say food is important to me would be a massive understatement. I consider myself obsessed with food and cooking. The eggs and French toast Linda made for us were outstanding and refined. We kept talking about it on the way home. There are many board games/card games for guests to use, as well as a wealth of interesting reading material, plus a piano and a gorgeous wraparound porch which we ate both of our breakfasts on. Owen Sound is a charming little town and the Highland Manor is perhaps its crown jewel. It was the perfect home base for our exploration of the Bruce Peninsula. We hope to return again in the not so distant future. To Linda and Paul, it was a genuine pleasure meeting you both and we thank you deeply for a unique and memorable experience. All the best and good luck. Elias…

Exceptionally relaxing

We enjoyed everything about The Highland Manor! Linda and Paul are the best hosts, welcoming guests to their elegant historic home, with a relaxed friendliness. We stayed for 3 nights. Our room was spacious, quiet and spotlessly clean. The bed was super comfortable, and the linens were extremely good quality. 3 nights of solid sleep for both my husband and I....yes!! Followed by delicious breakfasts each morning, including fresh fruit and excellent coffee! We also took full advantage of the lovely verandah to enjoy some drinks and take out. In fact, we convinced our hosts to join us for “5 o’clocks” and share some tales and tips from their own travels! We have stayed in 100’s of B and B’s around the world over the past 30 years, and we cannot recall a better stay than the one we had at the Highland Manor.…

Exceptional Property and Accomodations

Stayed for two nights for the first time. Exceptional. Linda and Paul are fantastic hosts, the Manor is beautiful, and the breakfasts delicious (Emily was great). Very well maintained property with wrap-around porch for reading and relaxing. Definitely going back.
