Ye Olde Walkerville Bed & Breakfast

We loved our stay at the Walkerville B&B! The house is beautiful and the rooms are comfortable, with exceptionally charming décor. The hosts, Larry and Joyce, are absolutely wonderful. They are so sweet, extremely accommodating, and very knowledgeable about the area.
There were two of us our first night, and we had an unexpected third person the next two nights with no trouble at all. We had a cot brought up into our room, and even though the room we had (Tyler’s Chamber) was small, it was still very comfortable with the three of us.
The house is in the older area of Windsor, located on a street of lovely old homes. It is quiet, and perfect for reading and relaxing outside on the porch. It is a very short drive into town; or a very pleasant walk (about 15 minute walk to shops, restaurants, and train station; about 45 minute walk to downtown Windsor).
Breakfast is truly incredible! There’s something different and creative every day, made with local ingredients. We started off with fruit — baked apples, and bowls of cantaloupe and watermelon topped with cheese and fresh mint leaves from the garden. Then a main course, such as sausages paired with french toast made with croissants, topped with blueberries and maple syrup. There was always a type of gourmet bread on the side. It felt like we were eating food worthy of a 5-​star restaurant, with wonderful coffee, a cozy atmosphere, and great conversation!
We hope to stay here again the next time we are in Windsor!

Warm, welcoming and the epitome of graciousness!
My partner and I were looking to spend a night «away» before the birth of our daughter in May, and figured that if we couldn’t exactly swing a trip out of town (we’re from the Detroit area), we could still use our passports and at least FEEL like we’d traversed a great distance.
Found Ye Old Walkerville B&B on a travel site, and booked it as soon as we saw what charm could be found by spending essentially the same cash as a swanky riverfront hotel. I am so very glad that we did.
We were welcomed by Larry, one of the proprietors of the B&B. A more jovial and friendly human being we’d yet to encounter — until we met his wife, Joyce, that is! We were shown to our room and given a rundown of the area, as well as maps, guides and helpful suggestions. The room itself (the Samantha suite on the topmost floor of the turn-​of-​the-​century home) was all things cozy. Fireplace, soft rugs, the most well-​stuffed down comforter on the planet atop the king-​size bed. Oh, and the bath! My partner is a towering 6’5″ and can NEVER fit in a bath tub with all his extremities submerged — but here he could! Loads of hot water, fluffy towels and built-​in soaps and shampoos. Truly lovely.
The location is terrific, with easy access to many shops, restaurants and bars, but in a very quiet neighborhood. You get the best of both worlds this way.
All else pales in comparison with what we discovered the next morning, however. We sleepily trudged down the stairs for our 8:30 breakfast date and found the dining room to be laid out beautifully, with Larry and Joyce busy at making breakfast. Larry served us tea, coffee and juice, while Joyce chatted happily at us from the kitchen. She knew from our welcome email that I have issues with gluten, and so had prepared a special breakfast that even I could enjoy! As Larry regaled us with stories, Joyce brought our first course to us: a beautifully poached Bosq pear nestled in lavender-​sprinkled sour cream with fresh cranberries and maple syrup. Divine. Once the remainder of the B&Bs guests joined us, we were served beautiful veggie frittatas with sauteed spinach, roasted tomato slices and crisp bacon. My favorite part? Joyce had tried her hand at a gluten-​free blueberry biscuit recipe — and they were WONDERFUL. Sweet, delicately salty, doughy and with a wonderful outer crustiness. I was so touched that she went out of her way to do this — and was sort of awed by how delectable they were. Noticing my enthusiasm, she came out of the kitchen brandishing a bag of the remaining dough and instructed me to take it home! Which I did. And I am happily coating my keyboard in the crumbs from that second batch of biscuits as I type this. =)
If you’re looking for a peaceful nights sleep, preceded by an easy walk to a night out and followed by one of the most beautifully thought-​out, delicious breakfasts you’ve ever had… go see Larry and Joyce at Ye Old Walkerville. It was truly rejuvenating… and we’ll be back to introduce our tiny human to our new friends!

An excellent place to spend the night, conveniently located near the train station. Larry and Joyce are perfect hosts, they even prepared a delicious Vegan breakfast for me, as requested. Highly recommended.
