What Travellers Say:

I wanted to tell you how much we have enjoyed using each edition of ‘The Best Places to
Bed and Breakfast in Ontario’. We have found it totally dependable and have enjoyed many
of the places that you have visited. I think it's very rare to have a guidebook that's
written with such dedication and personal interest.
Adrienne Clarkson, Toronto (now Ottawa), Ontario
I have sung the praises of your book since your first edition, which turned me into a bed and breakfast
convert. Thank you for enabling me to meet some great people in their marvelous homes.
Your book is a gem.
Cathy Rand, Toronto, Ontario
My wife and I have used your guide to bed and breakfasts to advantage. We've had wonderful experiences
and feel we've finally taken the agony out of driving the 401. Thank you for your advice.
Irving Heller, MD, PhD, FRCP (C), Montreal, Quebec
I just wanted to write and tell you how very much I enjoy your book. From the lovely watercolour
on the cover, to the accurate illustrations of the homes, to your prose - I just enjoy
curling up with your book and a cup of tea and dreaming that we might go off on a jaunt to
any one of these places.
Susan Holley, Guelph, Ontario
I love your book and use it often and am pleased to say I have NEVER been disappointed with
any of your recommendations.

Comments from Best Places Hosts

...your site is our #1 source of business.
Pat Mickle, Heritage Homestead Bed and Breakfast, Port Dover
...a very high proportion of our requests come from your website.
Paul and Carol Buer, The Mulberry Tree Bed and Breakfast, Toronto, Ontario
Your website is our number 1 marketing device.
Barb and Rob Taylor, Solomon Knechtel House B & B, Southampton, Ontario
I just wanted to thank you so much for your endorsement of our bed and breakfast. It has made things
so much simpler. I find I don't have to "sell' my place as much. Not that I sound like
a salesperson, but that people are much more receptive with your stamp of approval. I'm
still tickled pink and terribly honoured that you have chosen us.
Joyce Bezusko, The 3 Bears Bed and Breakfast, Elora, Ontario
We are delighted to be recommended by you. It's worth its weight in gold. My suspicion
is that anyone who goes to my bbcanada page will click through to your site and read your
very kind remarks. I think your comments may well be the deciding factor to book with us.
Shirley & Paul Schweitzer, Schweitzer Haus Bed and Breakfast, St Jacobs, Ontario
You have become a very respected authority on bed and breakfasts. Your recommendation is a
credibility thing that the internet generally does not have. Some (of our guests) call it
their "bible". Our business increased markedly from your recommendation.
Bob and Judy Pollard, Lakeside Bed and Breakfast, Sharbot Lake, Ontario
Since I've been listed on your website, I have had more business than when I was
only listed in the book. Your website is accessible to people all over the world.
The net result for me is that I now get people from Europe and the USA and these people
tend to make longer bookings.
May Jarvie, Feathers Bed and Breakfast, Toronto, Ontario
We are extremely happy with your internet site.
I have a link on my bbcanada page and a number of guests have read your review and I'm sure it
stimulated them to make a reservation with us. I love your website - it is so difficult to
get an accurate statement of most bed and breakfasts in North America. I think your approach adds
credibility to the whole industry.
Chris Mee, Eighteen Waterloo Bed and Breakfast, Stratford, Ontario
Quite a few guests arrive with your book in hand saying it's their "B & B Bible". We also have
a page on bbcanada with a link to our page on your website which I feel is probably the "final push'
for people calling for reservations.
Jeannette Potter, The Old Bissell House Bed and Breakfast, Elora, Ontario
There has been a serious increase in bookings related to your book and your website.
Even if it wasn't the initial source, several have said it was the deciding factor.
David Dent, By the Bay Bed & Breakfast, Wheatley, Ontario
