Anne and Doug were very welcoming, the home was beautiful and a lovely quite area.
We have a lovely breakfast, but weren't given a choice of what we would like to eat.
The breakfast was different every morning, but freshly made with local ingredients! The hosts were amazing, coffee was great, and the general vibes were amazing. The room was also very clean and everything was great.
None!
The hosts were welcoming but non-intrusive; the place was clean and comfortable; the breakfast was delicious.
Breakfast was a 10/10 excellent
All good
Absolutely clean, updated, comfortable, cozy B&B with professional, kind and helpful owners, Anne and Doug. The breakfast was delicious, homemade with local and seasonal goodies.
Somehow our request for two twin beds did not go through the booking system, but Doug offered to fix it. We did not need it at the end. So basically this is not a big deal either.
The hosts were amazing and super accommodating. The breakfast each day was exceptional and they sourced local produce. The room was very comfortable.
Property was beautiful inside and out Very nicely maintained
Liked everything about the property
The hosts were excellent and friendly. The breakfast was the best meal we have ever had at a B&B! The accommodations were very clean and the attention to detail were evident outside and in. We will definitely stay here next time we are in the area.
The breakfast was good. The hosts were warm, reachable and responsive. Very hospitable. Clean and beautiful property. Indeed glorious gardens!❤️
Breakfast for both days was delicious and beautifully presented, with a mix of sweet and savoury.
Anne & Doug have created a beautiful BNB in the heart of the SW wine country. Warm and friendly but not invasive.
Nothing. All good. ..
Very friendly host and beautiful space. The breakfast was delicious and used fresh ingredients from the garden.
Very friendly, discreet hosts, amazing breakfast, spacious clean room.
Professional, welcoming, clear, organized, respectful. Superb breakfasts. Excellent amenities. Impeccably clean. Many thanks!
Breakfast was delicious and looked as made by a Chef!
We liked everything in there!
My husband and I stayed here last Friday and Saturday. Doug and Anne were very welcoming, and they have obviously put a lot of thought into making their Bed and Breakfast a warm, comfortable and inviting place to stay. Everything exceeded our expectations from the delicious breakfasts to our comfy bed to the thank you package of cherry jam and peach chili sauce. Very clean and we felt at home the entire time we were there. We both highly recommend Glorious Gardens and will definitely stay here again when we want to escape the city for a quiet weekend getaway close to home!
Nothing, everything was great!!
The property is beautiful and tranquil. The gardens were in bloom during my stay. The lovely front porch was a relaxing area where I sat to read and do crossword puzzles while enjoying a cup of tea which is always available in the dining area. The breakfast meals were delicious with fresh berries from the garden as well as homemade preserves and biscuits. Everything is spotless and meticulous. The home is a lovely combination of old and new decor. The bed was comfy, the towels luxurious. Anne and Doug could not have been more accommodating. I would definitely return for another stay.
The room was very comfortable and clean. The attached bathroom was modern and fully furnished with all I needed. The hosts were gracious and welcoming. They kindly helped me find a local place for dinner after a long day's travel. The garden and porch were so beautiful and peaceful. I very much enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend!
A small thing - I have a dietary restriction which seemed to throw them at first but they quickly adapted and accommodated it gracefully. Another place I stayed asked about this in the check-in and I would have appreciated these hosts doing the same.
Anne & Doug are Hosts Extraordinaire! They are extremely helpful and genuinely happy to have you as guests. Their property is designed for a great B&B stay. Super comfortable room with ensuite. There is one other ensuite room for guests. Their home is set back far enough from the highway, whereby the traffic noise is minimal. Numerous boutique wineries nearby with restaurant offerings. Breakfasts are second-to-none in quantity and especially, quality; Bravo. Really enjoyed our 4-hour evening on the large, shaded, front porch. Fantastic rural views, stunning sunset and surprising appearance of hundreds of fireflies after sunset. Loved EVERYTHING about our two-night stay.
No disappointments whatsoever.
Everything was top notch exceptional. Gorgeous property, beautiful decor and the hosts were absolutely amazing. The breakfast was beyond delicious and such a beautiful presentation of our meal. Extremely clean, total perfection. We would HIGHLY recommend and are definitely going back for another stay.
The owners replied to my emails promptly. They were accommodating in our request for an earlier breakfast so that we could catch the ferry. Breakfast was delicious, beautifully presented with generous portions. The complimentary coffee and tea all day long made it easy to grab a cuppa and relax. The gardens are beautiful. The decor is tastefully curated and the beds are very comfortable. I highly recommend this Bed and Breakfast.
Beautiful home, perfect hosts,wonderful breakfast,loved it !!!
Lovely stay. This is what a BNB is supposed to be! (And the gardens were pretty glorious.)
Incredible hospitality! Couldn't be happier with our King Room.
This is such a beautiful property! Both the house and the gardens surrounding it are so nice. The hosts are amazing, ensuring you have everything you need. The breakfast was delicious and you can have coffee and tea at all times. The welcome gift of preserves they make is a lovely touch. It is a great place to stay if you want to visit the wine country in Essex. I highly recommend this B&B!
Anne and Doug are very welcoming. It was a pleasure to stay in their cozy and comfortable home. The room and gardens were very pretty. Breakfast was delicious. Anne , knowing that I am gluten free, made a delicious breakfast of crustless quiche followed by incredibly tasty home-baked muffins. Glorious Gardens is near several wineries where you can enjoy excellent dinners, be close to a beach and the town of Kingsville. We highly recommend this beautiful B&B.
The breakfasts were varied, plentiful and fantastic. The location was perfectly situated in beautiful wine country and many other attractions were a short drive away. The hosts, Anne and Doug, were very welcoming and accommodating.
I can't think of anything negative.
Very inviting owners and beautiful gardens to sit and relax. Home cooked breakfast was a lovely touch!
Lovely home, super clean, excellent little beach, and the couple were more than happy to accommodate me with respect to providing gluten-free foods. Both meals were excellent. Will definitely book again for next year's event.
The house and grounds are beautiful and very clean and tasteful. The breakfast was fantastic, using all fresh and local food. It was delicious. The proprietors were friendly and helpful. We had a lovely stay.
Nothing; it was great.
Wonderful Host! very Beautiful Home and Queen Ensuite was very great, Little away from Ferry Dock However we liked the Drive to small town Essex, Property is close to Beach Access
Everything Great, As we stayed for Short Time still everything we liked whatever we used, There is nothing i found wrong or unused
Amazing breakfast, fresh,
Nothing
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Glorious Gardens Bed and Breakfast in Harrow, Ontario. From the moment we arrived, Anne and Doug Spear, the delightful owners and operators, made us feel like cherished guests. The beds were incredibly comfortable, providing us with restful nights, and the rooms were immaculately clean and beautifully decorated, as was the charming dining area. Each morning, we were treated to delicious and hearty breakfasts that set the perfect tone for our day of exploration. The culinary skills of Anne and Doug are truly impressive! Their warm hospitality shone through when they graciously accommodated our special request for an early departure, which was incredibly helpful for our traveling party. The B&B is ideally situated, just a few minutes' walk from the serene lake, nestled in a peaceful and tranquil area. The beautifully landscaped gardens added to the overall charm and provided a perfect spot to relax and unwind. For the couple of days we spent there, Anne and Doug truly made us feel at home, creating a memorable experience that we'll cherish. We highly recommend Glorious Gardens Bed and Breakfast for anyone seeking a cozy, welcoming, and unforgettable getaway. We can't wait to return!
The home is in a great location. Doug and Anne are wonderful hosts who prepare fabulous breakfasts.
Location is great, easy to get in a very nice vacation property community and just 10 minutes driving to the town and 20 minutes to the national park. Breakfast is well prepared in a cozy sitting area. room is small but comfortable, bathroom is clear with very soft towels. The best is the owner, a very nice couple.

We had a fantastic time at Glorious Gardens Bed and Breakfast. The hosts were very accommodating with our arrival time. Once we arrived, we were shown to our room and where the living room/breakfast area was. There was a coffee/tea bar, a fridge, microwave, kettle, and filtered water fill-up area. The room was beautiful, and the beds were very comfortable with very soft linens. There was even a small "Thank you" package of homemade strawberry balsamic preserves, tomato salsa, and crackers. We loved this as we're love to preserve at home. The room and bathroom were exceptionally clean. The homemade breakfast was fantastic, and they had the best homemade rhubarb muffins I've ever tasted. Overall, we had a fantastic trip, and we couldn't thank our hosts more for such a wonderful stay! We will definitely be back!
The breakfast was superb! The preserves made by Ann were delicious, and Doug's omelets were delectable!
Breakfast with homemade preserves was a treat. The pillows were very comfortable.
