We stayed at the Finchstone Guesthouse because we had booked a day spa at Ste. Anne’s for the next day. The spacious home and accommodating owners made our stay very comfortable! They provided a complimentary continental breakfast. The owners lived next door, and were always available whenever we needed anything. Their kindness made us feel welcome and at home, and we’d definitely stay again!

We thoroughly loved our stay at Finchstone Guest House. The bedrooms are clean and spacious and there are loads of bathrooms - all with bathtubs! We all enjoyed the pool and it was a great way to cool off. We walked to the Food truck for dinner and got some gluten free bakery items which is right next door. I recommend staying at this location without hesitation.

We had a wonderful stay here celebrating a birthday with five friends, paired with a spa day at St. Anne’s. The property is beautiful, set in a charming and private country setting. The home itself is spacious and best described as “comfy Victorian” — warm, inviting, and perfect for relaxing together.  We arrived just after a snowfall, and the drive and walkway had already been cleared by the host. We especially enjoyed a cozy evening gathered around the fireplace. The location is ideal, with St. Anne’s just down the road, making it incredibly convenient. Our host was gracious, responsive, and very helpful throughout our stay. I would highly recommend this property for a girls’ getaway for a peaceful, comfortable retreat.
