Lumley & Co. Bed & Breakfast

Lumley & Co. Bed & Breakfast offers a unique and historic stay in a heritage-designated 1888 general store residence, beautifully restored to its circa 1920 charm. Located above an antique shop called Katnap, this cozy B&B is close to local attractions such as Pearce Provincial Park, the Southwold Earthworks, and the Backus-Page House. As an Architectural Conservancy of Ontario award winner, the inn is rich in character, with antique furnishings and a distinctive atmosphere that reflects its 19th-century origins.

Guests can enjoy two period bedrooms, the Morris Room with a double bed and the Lumley Room with a queen bed, both maintaining the building’s original features like wood-grained doors, trim, and wood plank floors. The bathroom, located at the end of the hall, is shared only by related parties to ensure privacy. The adjacent parlour and dining room, redecorated in an Arts & Crafts style around 1910, provide an inviting space with beamed ceilings and hardwood floors. Guests can also enjoy the extensive grounds, complete with Carolinian trees, where campfires can be enjoyed. For those arriving by bike, there is locked storage available in a ground-floor addition. Lumley & Co. offers a truly authentic, peaceful retreat, ideal for those seeking a step back in time with modern comfort.
