Burleys Gardens and Suite

Excellent value. My go to spot for when I need to get away from things. Friendly staff and owners. I heard a bit of noise on the balcony from the house and the road a couple times but inside it was always serene. By 6:00pm the road and business were basically empty and it felt like we owned the whole block. Furniture was cozy and they have a really good set up for movies and tv. The food was excellent. They left us the usual juice, fruit, toast, et. We didn't expect the thick slices of pea meal bacon and farm eggs to cook for breakfast were AMAZING! We liked that I could cook it up in the little kitchen there, felt like our own private garden cottage. The place was spotless and everything was set up to make us feel welcome. It was warm enough to leave the big windows open and they have fans and heaters which we haven't had to use yet. There is a big greenhouse in the front and a bunch of gardens in the back with different kinds of plants and sculptures and fountains waiting to be discovered. Nice and quiet in the gardens, with visitors occasionally walking around to see the plants. Not like the busy city gardens. I heard the owner telling a family about the wild frogs that live there. They have a special pet frog in the store as well. We used to use AirBNB a lot and we have stayed in many places in the GTA and on vacations elsewhere. This place is our favourite.

I was also disappointed in this accommodation. I wondered what sort of people were writing the positive reviews. If you are allergic to mould do not stay here. Both bedrooms were so mildewy that none of us could sleep without masks. We were sick by the morning. There is no dehumidifier. The large number of fans used to mask the smell do not mask the smell. For $200 this old place was not worth the money. Stains on the bedspread and dirty, old furniture in the living area did not appeal either. The place advertises a pool which was covered up by an old tarp. When I asked for a partial refund given the fact none of us slept due to the mildew / mould, a man bellowed into the phone "no refund since you already stayed." A ludicrous and mean response. Save your money and stay in a decent hotel in the area instead.
