ウェストオーバー イン(Westover Inn)

We enjoyed staying at this historic inn and exploring the lovely and interesting town of St. Mary's, just a few miles from the Stratford Festival. The real hidden gem - Westover Inn's fabulous restaurant!

Our room was large and airy and comfortable and the bathroom was also spacious. We love the romantic setting well off any busy road. We stayed during the week when there were no staff on site so everything was self serve.

Property was unique in the way that it has so much history. But buildings and property definitely need work. Room was musty smelling and very small. Grounds could be beautiful, but gardens were over run with ****s and grass. Very little in the way of flowers, annuals or perennials. The seating benches and chairs need to be replaced. Nicest area of the property was the pool. It was clean and well maintained.

The smell upon entering the inn made me want to wear a gas mask…. It is an old house and unless you’re into mouldy smelling places, I strongly suggest go elsewhere. Having said that, the room we stayed in was clean, comfy bed, decent bathroom. There was an empty plugged-in fridge that gurgled, no breakfast for $240….I’ve stayed in waaay better places for less.

Lovely older Victorian home but really just a place to sleep as dining room not open when we were there. But loved the small town with lovely buildings and some great shops.

The property is lovely and the price was relatively modest for the days we were there. Staff were pleasant but are only onsite for business hours, and the vaunted restaurant was closed during our stay. The room was on the small side, but was comfortable and clean. The hallway in the building smelled of bleach or paint, but fortunately not in the room. It had an outdoor pool which we did not used due to the rain. We would consider staying again, however, as the price was reasonable, the grounds were lovely and St. Mary's is quaint and close to Stratford to see the plays.

We had a wonderful dinner in the dining room. The service was beyond perfect and the food was unbeatable. I had the pork tenderloin, specialty of the day. My spouse had ***** loin steak. Both the meat selections were so tender. The meal was beautifully plated with pencil size carrots, whole green beans and tiny potatoes. I had a wine spritz and my spouse had a Wellington brown ale. Both were refreshing and complimented our dinner. For dessert we both had the inn made vanilla ice cream and warm chocolate cake. It was a delicious and an appropriate size considering the amount of food we had already eaten. Coffee rounded out the meal and we retired to our room. Our server, Jayden, was attentive and informative. She answered our questions and even checked with the chef regarding the portion size of the meat. The dining in experience was worth the cost.

The aroma from the kitchen while walking over to the Inn spoke of a great meal and the dinner did not disappoint. The servers were kind and caring. Perfect way to end my day.

After we paid we were informed there would not be any housekeeping for multiple nights nor staff there when we arrived. The inn has history but where we stayed was an old dormitory. It smelled, the bed was terrible, room small with no character and cheap furniture, the shower had no pressure, pool was covered in leaves and bugs and the coffee maker was missing. We spoke with staff on the 2nd day and she did replace the coffee maker. We were told that Christopher Plummer always stayed there when at Stratford. I assume there are better rooms in the actual inn and/or the inn has declined considerably. St. Mary’s is charming the Westover Inn is not.
