We fell in love with Talwood Manor as soon as we walked through the door. We arrived in the evening after dark, and were met by the soft lights of the cozy Victorian-esque parlour. Judith appeared within moments to greet us warmly and show us our room. We booked at the last minute, so the first night we stayed in the Highlander room, and the second night we were in the Asian room. Both rooms were spacious, spotless, and clearly decorated with care. Judith takes care of all the little details, like having cookies, peanuts, cold drinks and tea available at all times. She even brought us some lovely port to sip while relaxing on the screened-in porch in the evening. So delightful! Judith really goes all out at breakfast, which always includes a beautifully set table complete with candles, a first course of free trade coffee or tea, juice, baked goods, fresh fruit, yogurt, and homemade granola. The main event can be anything from goat cheese frittata to Eggs Benedict on homemade savoury waffles(my sweetheart loved these!). Her eggs come from a local free range farm that she has visited personally, and she can cheerfully accommodate dietary restrictions like vegan or gluten free(great news for me!). Port Colborne is a lovely, friendly little town, and Judith and her home are so warm and welcoming… we can’t wait to return in the winter to see just how cozy Talwood Manor can get.
