Two couples just returned from a weekend at The Caverham House. This was our fourth visit in as many years and it was wonderful. The location is perfect. The warm and welcoming approach taken by Mary Lou and John makes one feel like you are stepping back in time being reminded of how hospitality should be served. The breakfasts continue... More

Stayed here with my fiancé for 1 night in the Balmore room. The room was a bit small but all the amenities were there and then some. Mary Lou and John were extremely hospitable and their resident Corgi Bayden was a joy to pet :) Breakfast was delicious! This B&B is walking distance to the festival theatre and to downtown.... More

Our first time at Caversham and I hope not the last! A peaceful retreat in beautiful surroundings. We were able to walk every where; shopping, strolling along the riverfront, out for dinner and sightseeing. It's a good thing too because breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Our room was bright, airy tastefully decorated, and immaculately clean. We especially enjoyed the private... More

We stayed here on our mini-honeymoon and it was the perfect choice! Location, breakfast, baked goodies, and the warm and thoughtful hospitality of our hosts were all unbeatable. I ditto the comment about attention to detail. Beautiful home, comfortable living area (that we did not use because our stay was too short), tons of books, a refreshment fridge. More specifically,...

We tried to reserve at a Bed & Breakfast we knew but it was fully booked. They recommended Caversham House. They told us it was a wonderful place. They were right. Mary Lou and John were outstanding as hosts. From the first connect when I booked for my wife's birthday weekend they were attentive to little details, asking me what... More

My first experience in Stratford could not have been a better one. John and Mary Lou welcomed us into their lovely home with so many of the special details already mentioned in other reviews: excellent food, very clean, generous hospitality and exceptional care. I feel lucky to have met them and found this charming place.

We spent a week here while attending the Stratford Shakespeare Festival. Our room and our hosts could not have been more delightful! John and Mary Lou understand the numerous details necessary to make their guests feel welcome and at home. The rooms are clean, comfortable and modern. Breakfast is delicious - don't miss John's homemade granola and, if the season... More

My daughter and I recently had a delightful stay with Mary Lou and John - the conveniences provided for their guests surpassed our expectations (toiletries, a refrigerator upstairs near the rooms with water and drinks for guests, cookies) - the beds were comfortable, and the service provided was simply the best (beds turned down, etc.) - Mary Lou provided excellent...

When a couple of Stratford B & B's proved disappointing, we gave them up for a few years. We are so glad that we tried one again! The Caversham House will be our new destination spot in Stratford. The owners, John & Mary Lou, treat you like welcomed family. Their warmth and hospitality are immediately felt. The rooms are impeccable,... More
