General Information
Partly because of our love for the outdoors and walking and biking through this wonderful area, we have joined with 9 other B&Bs located along the Greater Niagara Circle Route to form Cycle and Stay Niagara.
We realize that not everyone is able to cycle 140 km in one day, and so we have made it possible to take smaller sections by staying overnight at accommodations along the way. Ashgrove Cottage, as well as the others, are cycle friendly, provide secure lock-up for your bikes, and transportation of your luggage between partnering B&Bs is available.
Ashgrove Cottage is the name of our Victorian style home located on the main street as you enter Niagara-on-the-Lake. The friendly welcome, cozy comfortable rooms, good food and peaceful surroundings that are part of staying at Ashgrove Cottage, are a good start to enjoying all that our lovely town has to offer.
Our rooms are warm and inviting with period pieces. Guests are free to sit and relax in the comfortable sitting room or take a coffee or cold drink out to the large verandah where you may be serenaded by the cardinals and other songbirds. Our yard has mature trees, a pond and flower gardens.
Whether you are coming to enjoy the live theatre, the wineries, the gardens, the history or the scenery, we would love the opportunity to welcome you to our home.
There are many gorgeous private and public gardens nearby, and the many wineries. There is so much to see and do in this wonderful area. You just have to come see - and do it for yourself!
