Dover House B&B

Southwestern Ontario


A charming country house located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. Rooms are flowery and well appointed, some with fireplaces, others with bay windows. Gourmet breakfast includes fresh-baked pastries and local produce. The beach is about a 10- to 15-minute walk away – a deal breaker for some.
