I have been staying with the Whites since 2000 for my annual trip to the Festival. They are kindness and hospitality personified. As a woman who travels alone, that means a great deal. The location is quiet but within easy walk of all the Festival locations. The rooms are lovely and clean and comfortable. The breakfasts are bountiful and tasty... More

Homecooked breakfasts are healthy and varied with lots of choices. Clean comfortable rooms, beautiful garden with swimming pool. Lots of places to curl up with a book on front porch or back deck.

We had a fantastic time staying at the D&K Shady Nook with Doug and Kathy. The rooms and showers were nice and clean, breakfast was wonderful, and company was pleasant. Kathy gave us great tips and advice on Stratford (it was our first time visiting). The house was maybe a kilometer away from both the main theatre and the downtown... More

My boyfriend and I stayed for the first time at D&K Shady Nook (or any bed and breakfast, for that matter) this weekend, and we had a wonderful time. As people who were walking everywhere, the B&B was located a short walk from downtown Stratford making it a very convenient location for us. The bedrooms were clean and very nicely... More

My mother and I enjoyed a wonderful stay at D & K Shady Nook during a Mother's Day visit to Stratford- our only regret: it was not long enough! Very gracious hosts, impeccably clean, extremely comfortable beds, and a healthy and varied breakfast: what more could one ask for? Shady Nook is an excellent choice when visiting the Festival.
