Nice little inn, pretty good restaurant, needs bigger menu
August 26, 2014We stayed here for a quick getaway on a night when we were going to a Stratford play. Because we were worried about what would be too busy in Stratford, we just had dinner at the inn, which was fine, but the menu's pretty small, and it wasn't super easy to find a main course. (Though the asparagus spring rolls,... more

Wonderful Experience
August 26, 2014Strong positive recommendation from Stratford Festival people delivered a wonderful 2 night experience - beautiful Inn in beautiful surroundings only 20km from Stratford, friendly & attentive staff, pristine room, delicious meals well presented, owners made us feel very welcome! Would go back "in a heart beat"!

a jewel
August 26, 2014I made my reservation here because due to last minute plans there was no B&B available in Stratford. Well, that was good for me ! Fabulous room, very clean and well appointed. Peaceful & quiet. Breakfast was superb. I went back up to my room after breakfast to pack and can honestly say it was all I could do to... more

Another GREAT stay
July 20, 2014This was our second stay at Puddicombe House. We liked it so much last time we went to the Stratford Festival two years ago, that we decided to stay here again. And this time being to celebrate our 25th anniversary, I had to take my wife somewhere special. I won't go into great detail in this review, as my last... more

June 11, 2014We recently stayed at the Inn for several nights while celebrating our sons wedding at a nearby venue. The Cressman family did everything they could to make us feel at home and had accommodated a last minute hair appointment.

Wonderful historic spot with amazing food
March 28, 2014Went for dinner with friends. The gourmet menu selections and specials were very good. Mussels were excellent and the salmon delicious. The sirloin was a bit overdone and not as tender as I would like, but delicious none the less. Dessert...amazing. Definitely will return for special occasion dining.

September 11, 2013
The restaurant food is superb. The setting on the verandah is beautiful. We have had a few items on the menu (sandwich of the day, burger, fish & chips, salad) and all items were wonderful. The maple balsamic vingarette dressing is the best I've ever tasted. I would give the Puddicome restaurant 5 stars.

Late lunch delight in Victorian veranda setting
August 19, 2013Enjoyed their Tuesday lunch gourmet hamburger special on a lovely summer afternoon seated on their front verandah. Excellent quality well presented. Good friendly service. Asked that country music background be turned down/off and they graciously complied (classical would have been more appropriate for this gracious old mansion which has accommodation & spa as well

We stayed at this B&B during the August holiday long weekend a few weeks ago as we had an Ontario's Finest Inns gift card and decided to use it for a weekend in Stratford to catch some theatre.

Unsatisfactory in many ways
August 12, 2012
This is an odd and relatively unsatisfactory property with many flaws as a B&B:
Some facts: We were two couples, and our room was big enough to accommodate a comfortable king-sized bed, but there were only two small hard-backed chairs provided for sitting. The only comfortable place to sit is on the bed. That might have been OK if, as...

Great inn near Stratford and SUPER clean
July 16, 2012Puddicombe House is my kind of place. I'm not a big fan of the B&B, feels too weird sleeping in a stranger's house and not as keen as some with the chit chat.
