Your hosts, Bob and Julie Bonnell, invite you to come aboard and relax in their comfortable, spacious home in Niagara-on-the-Lake's 'Old Town'. We are close to the restaurants, shops and the Shaw Festival Theatres. Many award-winning wineries, agricultural markets, antique shops and golf courses are just minutes away. Watch the sunset on Lake Ontario, only a short 10-minute walk away. Bicycle on the numerous picturesque biking paths or rollerblade along the Niagara Parkway. Take in the many historic sites of the War of 1812. Watch the ships go through the locks on the Welland Canal. Niagara Falls and its attractions are a short 20-minute drive away.
Built in the latter part of the last century, The Brass Bell Bed and Breakfast is named after the ship's bell of sea-going vessels. The house features warm pine floors throughout. The decor is a mix of contemporary and traditional styles with a light nautical touch. The soft, melodic chimes of the ship's clock will call you to a full sumptuous hot breakfast featuring Niagara's fruits (in season). Tour the Captain's office by invitation or relax on the verandah or backyard gazebo and enjoy the gardens. Complimentary bottled water and soft drinks are available both in the upstairs lounge and downstairs water cooler fridge.
Our rooms have been arranged and decorated with the comfort of our guests in mind. Each room has a queen-sized bed, a ceiling fan, a clock radio, a TV, a hair dryer, two luggage racks and an ensuite bathroom. A comfortable sitting room with TV and games (such as checkers, Trivial Pursuit, Scrabble, etc.) is located on the upper level. Full access to the wardroom (living room) on the main level is also available for guest use. Our home is adult-oriented, fully air conditioned, smoke-free and pet-free (due to allergies).
We love living in Niagara-on-the-Lake, which was voted the prettiest town in Canada. Operating a bed and breakfast allows us to be ambassadors for the Niagara Region and provide our guests with the hospitality for which Canadians are renowned. We hope our guests look upon their experience at The Brass Bell as a pleasant one so that they will return to the region time and time again.
