My wife and I could not have been happier with the services provided by Martin St Denis and his staff at the Shadow Lawn Inn.

Wedding planning, food, rooms and all other services such as lining up a pianist, decor, etc. Martin was incredible. Their property was extremely well kept and so were the rooms, dining area and bar room.

All of our guests were impressed with each course of the meal. Staff worked efficiently and were very accommodating during our speeches, toasts, etc.

We were able to host a wedding rehearsal and there were multiple locations on the property to host the ceremony, for a very reasonable fee.

Many last minute changes were made, all were fulfilled.

There is not a single thing that I can say Shadow Lawn was not able to provide.

My family has been having weddings at this location for generations and it’s great that Martin and his staff are continuing this tradition in the classy fashion which the property has built its reputation on.

Amazing.

Thanks Martin!

Shadow Lawn inn is more concerned with its restaurant than its B and B guests.
Carpets are threadbare, sheets discoloured, no greeting on arrival. Never saw the owners. Given a small pot of yogurt with a cold croissant for breakfast each day. My husband got the end of a piece of Brie - no choice of anything. The place was cold and deserted like the owners have run out of money? We chose an inn for what we hoped would be its its personal touches and local knowledge but we saw no one. It was as impersonal as a large corporate hotel without the conveniences or standards they would offer. What a strange place. We travelled from the Uk and spent 17 days in the East coast of Canada and this establishment was the only disappointment. We checked out a day early - we left a note for the owner (who could not be found) but she never contacted us. We lost the money for that night but that’s how desperate we were to get out of there!
You get the feeling that B and B guests are an inconvenience and their restaurant guests are their priority. There was certainly no evidence of fine dining in the cold meagre offering we received.

On June 11, I made a reservation by phone for two couples for June 20 at 6PM. Upon arriving with another couple (who we were treating for a special birthday celebration for both females) we were told by the manager we had no reservation! Aside from the embarrassment and disappointment, the theatrics of the manager in “feigning” her disappointment for us and using a swear word in the process, left us dumbfounded!
I called the owner today who, although he said he was sorry but never admitted any mistake, said there was nothing more he could do. He even suggested that maybe I had made a mistake. Despite being to many, many events, meals, and two wedding receptions there for our daughters over the past 50+ years, and it pains me to say this, we will not be returning. I would suggest the owner refer to marketing 101 for some clues about how to right a wrong!
