My brother and I stayed for three nights at the B&B Hillhouse in Lac Brome. Right from the moment we walked up to the property, I knew it was going to be an excellent experience. The beautiful old Victorian-style building has been faithfully restored and is kept immaculately clean. Tasteful decor coupled with gorgeously refinished wood floors greeted us as soon we opened the door. Louise and Gilles were, without a doubt, the most gracious hosts imaginable. They consistently exceeded expectations and the little extras certainly did not go unnoticed.
Every day we would return from skiing and touring around the area to freshly made beds, new linens, towels, and all garbages changed and things tidied up. These are services I would expect at a hotel but certainly not something I thought would be included daily in our stay at a small, inexpensive B&B. Our hosts were also very knowledgeable about the area and quick to make recommendations to point us in the direction of excellent local spots to eat, drink, and learn about the history of the Eastern Townships.
The breakfasts included in this stay were, quite frankly, 100% over-the-top in quality, composition, and presentation.

Prior to what you see, we were also always served a dish to start us off which ranged from yogurt parfait (layered with fruit, buckwheat, hemp seeds, chia seeds, and dusted with bee pollen) to fresh fruit cocktail to warm homemade banana bread.
In short, our stay at the B&B Hillhouse in Lac-Brome, QC was an amazing experience further enhanced by the hospitality of our hosts, Louise and Gilles. Driving back to the house each day didn't feel like we were going back to a hotel room,...it felt like we were coming home.More
