We stayed for our anniversary weekend. The property is lovely, the staff were great and the burger at the restaurant was amazing. Only tip, if booking carriage house room 5 - it’s a nice room but noisy as it’s right above the lobby and next to the stairs. You hear everything- including cleaning staff shouting up to see what rooms are ready.

The room was nice. The bed was comfy. The bathroom was freshly renovated. The restaurant downstairs is to die for. The only drawback was that the Wifi was a little slow. The television featured Netflix but because the internet was too slow we never got it to work. Luckily we brought a laptop and got Netflix up on that instead.

Great spot for our relaxing little trip
We enjoyed our stay. The bed was super comfortable and the room was nice and dark. And very quiet. We would definitely go back again. The restaurant was closed for dinner, but we went for breakfast and it was excellent as well.

My wife and I were excited to visit Bayfield for our anniversary. We booked an expensive room at the Little Inn, expecting a pleasant stay. On a beautiful 28°C (82°F) day, we arrived to find our room freezing at 12°C (55°F). I adjusted the thermostat to 21°C (70°F) and we left, hoping the room would warm up. When we returned, the temperature had dropped to 10°C (50°F). The front desk informed us that the thermostat only controlled the gas fireplace, and that we should use it to warm the room, as the hotel had a single thermostat in the lobby. The manager was unavailable and never called back. The lobby was warm because the staff blocked the cooling vent. Other rooms were equally cold. We decided to leave, not wanting to ruin our anniversary further. The front desk promised a refund the next day. However, the manager later claimed they couldn’t process it because we paid via Expedia using PayPal. They then told Expedia they refused to refund us. Our anniversary was ruined by this poor experience and broken promises.
