Nice home, within 1/2 block to main shopping street (Queen street) and 2 blocks from beautiful water views. Dinner at Noble and the High Tea at Price of Wales were both outstanding. Lunch and then a band at the Angel inn was so much fun!

perfect location

This was our second stay at Sweet reTreat and we enjoyed it just as much as the first time. Its location is unbeatable! We never had to move our car in the five days we were there. The house is always clean and well supplied with necessities. Directions had one small flaw. the directions indicate that you can enter via the front door - but the actual way to enter turned out to be on the side. Since we had been there in the previous year, we knew about the side entrance but if we were new to the house it would had been a bit difficult - but not impossible - to figure out what to do. Elsie is always very helpful and pleasant. We will likely engage Sweet reTreat for next year.

We really enjoyed staying at this historic home. The home was very clean and well decorated. The kitchen and bathrooms were modern renos, and the home was nicely furnished. The location on Victoria Street was perfectly central to everything in downtown NOTL. The side street was quiet and the neighbouring homes were well maintained. Overall, a lovely experience.
