The hosts are very knowledgeable with the area in and around Port Elgin. They also made you feel like one of the family. Walking distance to the main town which was nice and a lot of historical buildings. Had an amazing breakfast on the back deck looking out at the beautiful gardens. If you are looking for a peaceful getaway in Port Elgin this charming historical home is the place to be. Thanks again Priscilla and Ken for a wonderful experience.
Although the place is newly renovated, this bed-and-breakfast is full of character and charm. Every corner of this home has a story, which Priscilla is happy to share with her guests. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, with plenty of sitting areas to relax and enjoy the outdoors. This bed-and-breakfast is also steps away from the main drag and only a few short blocks away from arguably the best fine dining restaurant in town, Andres.
Breakfast both mornings was healthy, delicious and quite filling! Our first began with a multi-fruit smoothie, followed by fresh fruits and a couple of slices of homemade banana bread. Then out came the homemade waffles with fresh raspberries, blueberries and sweetened whipped cream and of course, real maple syrup. Our second breakfast consisted of a different but it's just as tasty smoothie followed by berries, granola and yogurt with a couple of slices of cranberry nut bread.
The main course was a beautifully presented plate of bacon, scrambled eggs on toast and grilled cherry tomatoes and mushrooms.
Most importantly, I should mention that the hospitality during our stay was exceptional. My fiancée and I were interested in renting mountain bikes to explore the Bruce Trail. Although she didn't know of a nearby rental shop at the time when we first asked her, she was quick to ask around and find an answer for us within the hour. She directed us to the neighbouring town and sure enough, Martin's bicycle shop in Southampton rented a variety of good quality bikes. She also offered to make dinner reservations for us, and always made sure we felt comfortable and welcome.
To put this review into context, I have had the good fortune to stay at a number luxury hotels and accommodations, including various Fairmont and Four Seasons hotels around the world. Silken retreat undoubtedly delivers top quality and value for the nominal nightly rate charged. Needless to say, we will definitely be returning.



But enough about the architecture.
The rooms were amazing, the bed - one of the most comfortable I've slept on, and the bathrooms made me feel like I had my own private spa!
Priscilla made us amazing french toast for breakfast on the first day, with her own home-made raspberry sauce.
I really could gush for another page...but I think you get my drift.
