My husband and I, and another couple, stayed here this past weekend. The house was lovely, if somewhat dated in its decor. The rooms were very clean and reasonably comfortable. The bed was too hard for my taste, but that's a matter of individual preference. The breakfasts were fine, but I am not sure what the raves are about. There was nothing about the food that really knocked my socks off, although it was well presented and quite tasty, and we did not leave the table hungry. The hostess, Meheroo, was a pleasant enough woman. I have read the negative reviews, and while I don't entirely agree with her harshest critics, I do understand where others are coming from. This was my first B&B experience, and I'm not likely to do it again. Ultimately, I prefer the anonymity of a larger hotel, as well as being free to eat breakfast when I am ready, rather than on someone else's schedule. If you are someone who really enjoys the whole B&B experience, you will probably not be disappointed with John's Gate.

Room tip: Both Queen rooms are quite small, and they are placed side by side. Better to go with the King room across the landing.

Myself and my husband stayed at Johns Gate over Labor Day weekend and we had a great stay. The hostess went above and beyond on the gourmet breakfast every morning, assisting with dinner reservation/wine tours, and making sure we had a perfect stay. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The location was perfect on a quiet street and only a short walk to downtown. We will definitely return the next time we come back to Niagra on the Lake.

We spent two nights in Niagara-on-the-Lake staying at the John's Gate B&B.

Our host was very welcoming and keen to know any specific dietary requirements to ensure a perfect breakfast. She was also very helpful in sorting out other arrangements including the taxi to the airport.

The house is beautiful and immaculate inside. We stayed in the King room with a large double (King!) bed and nice on suite bathroom. Our host provided water for the room and other drinks in a fridge. The room is peaceful and we were not disturbed by any noise from outside (the house is on a quiet street).

The two breakfasts we had during our stay were fantastic. The first morning we had a three course breakfast and our host made a traditional Indian egg and pancake based meal (forgive me for the poor description) which was the first time we had had this and was delicious. One of us is vegetarian which was fully catered for.

This B&B is located about a 15 minute walk from the high street (Queen St) and so was quite easy to get back and forth into town by foot.

Overall a fantastic stay which felt like luxury and we would highly recommend John's Gate to other visitors and we hope to come back soon!

What a wonderful place to stay, food was great. Received a lot of info for visiting from the owner.
Rooms were very clean and the bed were very comfortable. The place is in a decor by it's own, very nicely decorated.

We arrived in Niagara-on-the-Lake unaware that the peach festival, lavender festival, Jazz festival, vintage car show were occurring this weekend! Our hostess gave us the heads up right away and helped us plan a wonderful weekend with, dinner suggestions, wine tour suggestions and coupons, and travel concerns/route options. The three course breakfasts on both days were outstanding. The location is perfect allowing easy access to the best of Niagara-on-the-lake by foot or in a car. Meheroo (the hostess) was an absolute joy, sharing her life experiences and providing a wonderful insight to her bed and breakfast. She never left us wanting for anything, offering coffee before the breakfast service, chocolates on our pillows, well stocked toiletries and a clean comfortable room. She even sent home muffins for our long journey. We left with hugs and a warmth knowing we will be back again!
