Harlem Stonegate B&B

We enjoyed the forest walk and afterwards relaxing by the gas fireplace in our room. The heritage home and grounds are gorgeous. We arranged for an evening meal which include a number of menu items. It was all delicious as was the breakfasts.

My boyfriend and I came to stay at the Harlem Stonegate B&B for two nights in July. We felt welcomed and comfortable from the moment we arrived. Our room was clean and host Alicia kindly reminded us of the amenities available - coffee, tea, and sparkling water, as well as bathrobes and a hairdryer. The food was exceptional and we enjoyed our breakfast outside on a screened deck. Alicia is a fabulous chef and Dave provided great service as well as great conversation. Alicia also gave us plenty of recommendations for food and beaches in the area which was very helpful. Dave also let us relax in a yoga sanctuary he built at the back of the property on the edge of a pond. We loved the peaceful and tranquil environment and reconnecting with the sounds of nature. Would highly recommend a stay at the Harlem Stonegate B&B for anyone who wants to relax and recharge!

I was gifted #guesswheretrips #alltheprettythings. One of the recommended places to stay was the Harlem Stonegate Bed & Breakfast. Since I didn’t peek in the envelops, I didn’t know where we were going ahead of time. The location ended up being perfect for our adventure and was approximately 30 minutes away from our 1st location and even closer to the other stops. The hosts David and Alicia were warm and welcoming. They made sure we had everything we needed. We had an amazing stay in the Stonegate room for 2 nights. The room was spotless, the bed super comfy and the bedding luxurious! The breakfasts cooked by Alicia were memorable and the portion sizes generous. She was very accommodating and adjusted the meals based on allergies and preferences. On both days we had a large bowl of fruit served with homemade granola and yogurt. One the first day we also had a savoury dutch baby topped with greens from the garden. For the second breakfast we had crepes filled with bacon and mushrooms which were also accompanied with fresh greens. I am drooling just thinking about both those meals and I think they belong in a cookbook! Behind the house, the grounds have been left in a more natural state. In one location they have built a screened in sitting area near a pond and tall grasses. Our time was short so we only spent a half hour listening to nature but it would have been a perfect location to curl up with a book. Close by, David and Alicia are building a platform in preparation for a glamping experience which will include an outdoor shower. I can only imagine how breathtaking it would be to watch the sunrise and sunset from that location. Across the road there was a farm with four horses. We went to say hello at every opportunity and Alicia gave us carrots to feed the horses, which was definitely a highlight of our stay! A few tips to help plan your stay: * You will be asked to remove your shoes, you can use the slippers provided or bring your own * Restaurants in the area seem to close early (8pm) so plan accordingly. One of the best meals we had was at Scheuermann Vineyard & Winery in Westport where they serve pizza cooked in a wood burning oven. * Speaking of closing early - we had a junk food craving around 9 pm and realized that the closest store that was still open was in Westport. The B&B offers coffee, tea and bubbly water at all times so not a big deal, and now you know to bring supplies. * Consider bringing apples or carrots for the horses * The sitting area is screened in but a few mosquitoes found their way in, so consider bringing bug spray to keep them away. My partner and I had an amazing time and would definitely return. We both highly recommended the Harlem Stonegate Bed & Breakfast! Thank you David and Alicia for making us feel at home!!

Bedroom with en suite is truly lovely. Simple elegance indeed! We were offered a choice: Breakfast on the verendah was what we love! The gardens are so well loved, “growing one’s own”. Good for a break from city life!

Outstanding B&B in paradise - away from the hustle and bustle of the great city and yet close to many historic sights (Rideau locks) and quaint towns (Perth and Westport). The hosts are most gracious and true professionals when it comes to making their guest feel welcome - the 1830s house has been renovated with great taste. The rooms are comfortable and the bed in our room was the biggest, most comfortable bed, I remember. The breakfast was for true gourmets.... we will be back !

Really wonderful! The property was beautiful, the room was perfect. So quiet and peaceful. The only sounds we heard were the owls hooting at night. What really made it was the excellent food. We opted to have dinner there so we didn’t have to drive into town. They perfectly accommodated food intolerances. Breakfast was also amazing. Definitely recommend!
