Thank you, Doug and Holly, for making my first trip to Stratford the perfect blend of serenity and hospitality. When I try to recall the highlights of my stay at your lovely B&B so I may share my experience with others, here are the images that linger in my memory: Breaking Bread Bed and Breakfast offers travelers a cozy place...

I first came to Breaking Bread with the previous owners and really loved the location; when they ew-mailed me that they were selling the establishment, it never occurred to me to go anywhere else, since they spoke very highly of both Holly and Doug. I trusted them, and they were spot-on. The home is just lovely, kept immaculately perfect, is... More

My wife and I found Breaking Bread to be extremely comfortable, and a wonderful place to stay. Heartily recommended. The house was large, airy, and immaculate. Breakfasts were very tasty, the coffee was excellent, the OJ fresh-squeezed - and seconds were offered. The bed was comfortable (even if it squeeked a bit). We parked our car for the weekend and...

I have just had my second stay at 'Breaking Bread' and can honestly tell you with hand on heart, I have enjoyed every minute there. Holly and Doug ensure that all are made welcome and the accomodation itself is spotlessly clean. They also have a great knowledge of the local area which is most useful. The breakfasts are excellent as... More

We've been coming to Breaking Bread since before the Barkmans owned it. The location is great, very close to Avon & Studio Theaters, medium to Tom Patterson, and still walkable to Festival. Even being close in, the street is very quiet. We keep coming back because of Holly and Doug, who are very knowledgeable about the theater in general, the... More

My husband and I have been frequent B&B guests for nearly three decades and Breaking Bread was one of our best experiences. Holly and Doug met or exceeded all of our expectations. We look for and go back to a B&B based on the following factors: 1) knowledgeable and charming hosts, 2) cleanliness and safety, 3) great breakfast, 4) location,... More

From August 2 to 6, we had the pleasure of staying with Doug and Holly and Alphie, who graciously opened their well appointed home to our family of four. We very much enjoyed their excellent breakfasts, comfortable accommodations, warm hospitality, and lively conversation. We appreciated being asked about, and accommodated for, food preferences and allergies. This was a special stay... More

Holly and Doug were very nice and helpful. I have stayed in many b&b's across Ontario and Europe and never have I been asked to leave a deposit ($10.00) for a front door key to use, I am a paying guest ! We did leave a deposit that was taken weeks before we arrived and no sooner did we walk... More

We are obviously surprised at this review. While we respect the guest's opinions, we do find them harsh. We would like to make 3 comments: 1) We ask for a $10 deposit to serve as a visual prompt for us and a reminder for guests to return their key upon leaving.This refunded deposit has resulted in no lost keys in...

A great B&B! I heartily concur with the previous posts touting Baking Bread's prime location in a quiet historic neighbourhood, impeccable cleanliness, comfy beds, scrumptious breakfasts, and last but hardly least, Holly and Doug--the convivial hosts. On arrival, we were asked about our food preferences and how hearty our appetites were. This thoughtful gesture helps to explain all of those... More

I had the pleasure of staying at Breaking Bread Bed and Breakfast for three nights recently and thoroughly enjoyed it. The B&B is in a great location in Stratford, close to everything in the downtown area. Parking, while not on site, is around the corner, about a two minute walk (if that). I stayed in the Muskoka room, which, to... More
