A historic building with plenty of charm. Great location in the heart of Bayfield amongst all the shopping, restaurants, and pubs. Our check in was fast and friendly. We were in room 2 on the main floor. The room was small but very clean and comfortable. The gas fireplace was not needed as we found the room to be too warm. We had a incredible dinner on site and would highly recommended the scallops on pork belly appetizer. The breakfast the next morning in the main dining room was excellent. Attention to detail is definitely a priority with this property as we very much enjoyed ourselves and will be return guests. For a craft brew head up the street to Bayfield Brewing Company. Great atmosphere and delicious craft beers. Cheers to this little gem of a town.

Thank you Sean for your review and taking the time. The rooms in the Inn vary in size primarily because of the nature of this historic building and some of the limitations that come with it. So glad you enjoyed your stay and your meals with us. Bayfield is a wonderful part of the world anytime of year. Come back again soon. Warm regards, Mike Oliver- Owner

We stayed at The Little Inn for a two day getaway in November, and had a wonderful, relaxing time. The Inn and their staff are so very pleasant and helpful. The meals we’re delicious, and the property is impeccable. We’ve stayed before and we’ll be back.

Charming! Every employee we met seemed delighted to serve us. The ambience of the historic building made the stay even more enjoyable. I loved the somewhat tilted floors and the really old wood. But still we had our modern amenities like a jacuzzi tub in the room. My husband and I enjoyed dinner and a couple of cocktails in the Four in Hand Tap Room, then took our desserts up to our room. Breakfast was amazing with an array of salads, breads and chacuterie accompanied by a hot entree of our choosing. It was hard to leave, but we'll definitely be back.

Thank you Cynthia so glad you enjoyed your stay with us. The Inn being built in the Mid 1800's does come with some character but we think that is what also makes in unique. We take great pride in our staff and our food so glad you enjoyed it. Hope to welcome you back again very soon. Warm regards, Mike Oliver -Owner

This little gem is a one in a million. I booked a little stay away to celebrate my sister's 60th birthday. We are Brits, she lives in Italy, I live in Canada. I really wanted this to be a special treat for her; this little Inn far exceeded our expectations. We were greeted by Kristina, who treated us like royalty from the moment she welcomed us. We were taken to our room (no2), the prettiest little room painted in restful colours with almost anything you could want for a restful stay. My sister needs to carry an epipen, which needs to be stored in a fridge but this room didn't have one. So we asked Kristina if the hotel could store it in their kitchen. She went 10 steps further than that by upgrading us to a gorgeous suite with its own sitting room, fridge, gas fireplace, king…

Thank you so much for this wonderful review. Kristina is gem and we are so happy to have her on our team, she is in many ways the heart of the Inn. I myself lived in England for 3 years and in many ways took what I loved about country inn to heart when I bought the Inn in 2014. Word of mouth and reviews like yours go a long way in helping support a small independent coaching Inn like ours. Our very best and warmest regards, Mike Oliver - Owner

My husband and I spent a night at the Little Inn. We had never been there before but we will definitely be back. The Inn is lovely - it has lots of charm and history. It was the off season so it was quiet but that is what we were looking for. We stayed in the Premium Suite which was very large and comfortable. Since it was quiet we asked to see some of the other rooms so we would know our options next time we come. They are smaller but also very nice and would not hesitate to book one of them. Although the restaurant wasn't open for dinner (which we knew when we reserved), we had an excellent breakfast. Christine served us and she was very friendly and helpful. Bayfield itself is a beautiful little town where you can shop, walk, enjoy a nice meal or just go to get away…

Thank you for taking the time to write such a nice review, and glad you enjoyed your stay. It can be quiet in off season but sometimes our guests find that is just the thing they need. Snow storms and stuck in Bayfield at the Inn are also special...summer is nice too! We hope to welcome you back to the Inn soon. Warm regards, Mike Oliver -Owner

Bayfield is a great night for a quick get away. Lots of shops and good eats. The food at the inn is very good. The staff are friendly and efficient. The inn itself is looking a little tired. The carpet up the stairs is ragged on the treads. The room temperature is hard to control, i was there with 3 friends and they all had this problem. The bathroom had this 80s jaccuzi tub and shower that you need to be athletic to get in. The beds and pillows are great. Hopefully the inn gets some love because it is a nice get away

Thank you for your review Mary Ann S. The stair carpeting you are speaking of is getting replaced in the very near future. Unfortunately, we have to do this in our off season when we are not so busy. The inn has been operating since 1847. There are some rooms that are older styles of rooms. This is to keep with the charm and heritage of the building. We do offer other rooms with walk in showers. A majority of our room offer baseboard heating, we provide a guest book in every room to provide guests with this information and how to operate the heat.

My wife and I have been visiting the Inn for many years and have always enjoyed our time in Bayfield. However, the Inn changed ownership and was completely renovated a few years ago, including all the staff being dismissed, and in doing so, the charm and friendly familiarity of the Inn, and quirky but extremely helpful staff were lost. It now feels like a visit to a beautiful Inn run by Marriott, with efficient but less than charming staff doing the necessary tasks to get you in and out. On the other hand, The Black Dog pub continues to be the best place in town for a meal, excellent service and a lot of enthusiastic small town energy. it was rocking Saturday night, while the aforementioned Inn’s dining room and pub, and the new Lake House were almost deserted. Cheers to…

Thank you for your review Brian. Yes the Inn has new ownership since 2015 and has been renovated since 2015. However we have not dismissed staff. We have staff that worked here for 7 to 20 years and everything in between. Our reviews on our staff are very positive and most find our staff to be very helpful and friendly. We pride ourselves on providing all our guests with same quality care and service. We are definitely not a Marriott and will never try to compare ourselves to them. In addition to dinner service, we have been sold out that past couple weekends and should you have dined with us instead of the Black Dog you would have seen this as well.

Lovely rest and getaway in our beautiful suite. The food was fantastic and the bar service attentive. Located in a great area for driving country roads and exploring the shores of Lake Huron. Staff was helpful for suggestions for making this a great fall get away!
