All that we expected and more. Food was excellent in the restaurant, staff was very cordial and ambience was the best.

With all the hotels in Stratford booked, we went to this nice and pleasant inn in St. Mary's, perhaps 20 miles away (through beautiful farmland). The staff was uniformly friendly and helpful, the grounds were marvelous and the main manor house was comfortably appointed. We were in the terrace building, which was a little small but perfectly functional […] (the rooms in the main building are larger, nicer and perhaps disproportionately more expensive). We did not have the chance to eat in the dining room, which is purported to be exceptional. Don't miss the free cookies in the lobby! Read more

First Impressions last a long time. This one is very much worth remembering. Having never been to St. Mary's, this was a new adventure for us. Driving by gps, we were led to the stately entrance drive which we followed up to the Westover Inn front door. The building and grounds were very mature, well maintained and well appointed. We could see that […] this was no large corporate run facility. The manner in which we were treated was very personable, warm and polite with a little touch of "home." Read more

Westover Inn is a lovely respite in restful, charming St. Mary's. I stayed in order to attend the Shakespeare Festival in Stratford and was so happy that I booked an Inn outside of Stratford itself. The drive between St Mary's and Stratford is minimal, and the calm of St Mary's compared to the hustle/bustle of summertime Stratford was much appreciated. […] The staff at the Westover are very helpful, but not overly indulgent -- you have your stay very much to yourself. My room was wonderfully cool, exceptionally clean -- and breakfasts were delightful! Just FYI -- there are no elevators in this beautiful Inn, so if you can't manage stairs, request a lower floor room. Can't wait to go back next year!!! Read more

Attending three plays at the Stratford festival, we selected the Westover Inn, located in St. Mary’s, due to lack of available properties in Stratford. This three star inn is located on a quiet street yet walking distance from the downtown area. We were greeted by the young staff who tries very hard to accommodate the quests and shown our rooms in the […] Terrace building. As described on the Westover website, this is the old dormitory with smaller rooms located adjacent to the main house. The rooms have new bathrooms with a high tub surround that makes it difficult for some people to get in and out of the tub. The room was pleasant but shows signs of wear and the mattress and carpet needed to be replaced. The A/C worked fine during our warm stay. The sloped grounds are pleasant and there is a small outdoor pool for the guests. We did not eat at the Westover due to the many other choices in the St. Mary’s and Stratford area. We tried the Stone Willow Inn for a quick supper and were disappointed with the quality of the food. Our next dinner at Woolfy’s, which features all locally obtained food, was great but portions were on the small size for the cost We did enjoy our own wine on the Westover patio and the staff supplied us with fine wine glasses and plates. Stop by the provincial spirits store for wine and the St. Mary’s deli for great cheese if you like to enjoy the grounds. For the price, the Westover is reasonable choice when visiting the area but I would be inclined to book earlier in Stratford to avoid the drive and to have the ability to walk to events in Stratford.

This would be a great place to stay if we had been in a different room. We were in an annex building that barely had room for a double bed and only a freestanding room air conditioner that took up what little remaining space was left in the room and did not cool adequately., It also blew the fuse in the middle of the night and left us without power […] .

We had ordered two rooms, for four people. The grounds and the appearance of the Inn were "coutryside". Lush lawns etc. But we only went there to sleep and clean up. Unfortunately our bath was a problem, with blocked drainage. We had to use the second room's shower (how awful if we had only the bad bathroom room), as by the time we used the bath the […] reception was closed and nobody could assist. That was not very comfortable. Read more

Beautiful spacious grounds surround the property. Rooms have views onto the grounds. The restaurant is professionally run with a varied menu and delicious offerings. I was in Ontario to attend several productions at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, the Inn staff were quite helpful with any questions I had about the festival productions, directions […] to Stratford etc. Read more

I found the Inn very quaint . The staff were friendly and helpful. I would stay at Westover Inn again if I was in the area.

Since this was rated one of Ontarios finest inns, i must admit that my expectations were probably too high. Overall the staff and the food was the best part. Excellent! The grounds/scenery are beautiful but other than that If you pay a lower rate for your room be assured you will not get into the main house for your visit. The lower priced rooms are […] in a place that looks more like an average apartment building and the queen rooms are small. thankfully the staff moved us to a king room, which was much bigger but more or less average. Everything was clean so I guess if you do not expect luxury, you don't mind paying a high room rate to be in the main house and you are a foodie you will not be disappointed. Read more

The Inn was comfortable and the breakfast was wonderful. The grounds are pretty; especially in the fall colors. Be aware that there is a second building (an apartment) besides the inn, with additional rooms. This building is old, but the room was very comfortable. The halls smelled musty, although the room was fine. The building may be old, but the […] bathroom has been updated. The room was very cosy and very clean. Read more

This manor house was built in 1867 and has an interesting history. It was a lovely one night get away. Close to the Stratford Festival and well worth the 20 minute drive from Stratford. Staff were warm, welcoming and accomplished. The restaurant meals were delicious and inventive. We were in a Terrence room which didn't have the same ambience as being […] in the manor house, but it was clean and adequate. We plan to go back in the warmer weather and take advantage of the large park area for walking and the outdoor pool. Also the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame is close by and fascinating. Read more

Excellent facility Excellent parking. Not so good on the parking (Terrace building). Had to park on the grass. Wi-Fi virtually non-existent, even in the main Manor.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This is a very high rated hotel for the type of hotel you get. The main building looks amazing. It's clean very friendly and although I did not eat at the hotel I'm sure the food would have been very good. But since I stayed in an adjacent building which looked like an old hospital for mental patients my stay was. It ideal. The room was VERY small. […] If you don't want to hear everyone else in the building I suggest to turn up your tv. Since my tv blow when we plugged in an iron we couldn't. Oh and the rooms do not have all the ideal things a normal hotel would have. Like an iron. Blow dryer etc, Bedding was very old and not something I liked. Also be was terrible. Read more

Relaxing ,friendly, very upscale!

Great atmosphere the main building was built 1864 beautifully kept. The restaurant Serves up exceptional dishes.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We were looking for a quiet, reasonably out-of-the-way place to relax and visit Stratford. What we found was all of that, along with a truly excellent restaurant and very friendly service. We will remember the Westover.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Overall the stay was fine, but we were disappointed that the cleaning staff placed a "do not disturb" sign on our door while we were out, and then left a sign in a basket of clean towels saying they couldn't clean the room because the "do not disturb" sign was up. This simple act, ended up negatively colouring an otherwise pleasant stay.

The Inn is located on a lovely piece of land with beautiful grounds. We stayed in a Terrace queen room, up the hill from the Manor house. The rooms are small but clean. The air conditioning was broken during our stay so there was a window unit running in our room. It cools the room but is very noisy. Luckily we did not end up staying for one of the […] record heatwave nights. The night was cool. So we just turned off the unit so that we could sleep. Breakfast was OK but very pricey. If we weren't in a hurry to get back to our room to watch the Canadian women's soccer team play for Bronze, we would have gone elsewhere for our breakfast. We had a wonderful time seeing plays in Stratford and dining in Stratford. The drive out to St. Mary's was lovely and we enjoyed not being in the town for a change. We might return to the Westover but would certainly look around at other options. Read more

A perfect 2 night stay.......compliments to the desk staff...........only one problem and that was the noisy air conditioner...fortunately, it was cooler at night and the room had windows which could be opened. Since one of us uses a cane, the staff gladly changed our room from the third floor to the first floor...

The hotel is lovely and well kept, although our TV wasn't working. The huge disappointment was the food. As well, the service could have been better. The food was expensive but quite unimaginative and not particularly well prepared or presented (melba toast with a topping for the "amuse bouche", frozen rolls, really tough entree). The staff was very […] young, inexperienced and awkward. Read more

The room was smaller than our bedroom at home. Had to climb two flights of staris with our luggae. The front desk was in another building so if you needed anything you had to get it before you went to your room. We paid Toronto prices for a small town hotel. We invited others to join us for breakfast and the service and food were very poor. I would […] not recommend this hotel. Read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Westover Inn. We were pleasantly surprised as we drove up to it. We loved where it is situated and the town of St. Marys is such a pretty town. We were in the Coach/Carriage House section which is a separate building to the main hotel in a Queen Terrace room. Our rooms were lovely, very clean and comfortable and […] so very peaceful. The bed was very comfortable and we both had a great nights sleep there. Would thoroughly recommend this hotel. Love to return one day. Read more

Main property was beautiful and certainly 4 star, staff were very nice. Terrace Property feels/smells like an old age home. Certainly would stay in the main property but avoid the other buildings.

Wonderful get away from the city! Would recommend the inn as a greta place to stay if you are visiting the Stratford area! Excellent food - be sure to eat in the dining room - an experience not to be missed!

This is a lovley Victorian inn situated in a country setting. We stayed in the outer building, not in the main inn itself. The room was rather small and cosy but well appointed. The room was nicely decorated and very clean. The inn was charming andvery appealing. The dining room was lovley but the breakfast area was disappointing.It consisted of a few […] tables located near the reception desk and not very appealing. We opted to dine in town for breakfast.

They easily accommodated a late check-in and the room while small was very comfortable and quiet. The breakfast was terrific, staff were helpful and friendly. I would stay again.

The service and staff were excellent-the dining was great with attentive courteos service The grounds are lovely and very quiet and only 15 min from Sratford I would definitely stay again!!

This is a nice inn. I stayed in the building behind the main inn and it was well kept. The people are friendly and the bed was the most comfortable that I have slept in, in months! I travel about 120 days a year, so this is noticeable. I would go back, it is a good find when the Stratford festival is on as rooms are hard to find in the area. Plus […] it is cleaner and better value than many in Stratford... Read more
