The entire experience of The Doctor's House was a categorical delight. We recommend it... More

We arrived at the Doctor's House B and B on a rare cool, windy day in August after weeks of awful humidity in the Toronto region. To be able to open the bedroon window (hotels take note!) and sleep in the lovely breeze was nothing short of bliss. Add to that quality bedding and a wonderful king size mattress and... More
