"Located near the crossroads of Highways 8 and 23 in the quaint little town of Mitchell, our century yellow brick home, that we restored, offers fine accommodations, a welcoming Guest Lounge with Billiards and a Heated In-ground Pool and Terrace.  Delicious breakfast is included and other restaurant quality meals can be added to your stay. The property is surrounded by spectacular private four season gardens that constantly change blooms during the warmer months, which attract many varieties of butterflies and birds. Our all season boutique B&B would be the perfect place to stay for anyone visiting local attractions, travelling for business or visiting family and friends in the area.  We are 20 min from Stratford Festival, 40 min from the beaches of Grand Bend and 35 min from Bayfield.  Or try us as a getaway or a remote office location.  We love entertaining and offering hospitality and would enjoy the opportunity to share our beautiful world with you."  - Ken & Rita, Gracious Hosts, Starlings & Roses B&B

OUR BEAUTIFUL LITTLE WORLD

 If you are looking for a place easy to access Stratford you can’t have a better location. Rita and Ken were outstanding, always making sure our needs were met. The place was very clean and had all of the necessities for a few nights stay including cute outdoor pool.  The best advice - do not book any restaurant in Stratford because we were spoiled by Rita’s exclusive family recipes everyday with options of fresh vegetables and berries from the garden and so much more. ”  - Anna & Peter
