We loved the theme of the Historic Lyons House! Each room was decorated with beautiful period furnishings and yet had all the modern conveniences. The breakfasts were so delicious, creatively presented and filling. Bootsy, the cat, was very receptive to all the morning and evening petting. We thoroughly appreciated and enjoyed Howard’s insightful chats about the area’s attractions and history. We hope to return in the future during the warmer months to see the gardens in bloom in the backyard!

Beautiful quiet property. The garden is very peaceful. Walking distance to everything with beautiful parcs. Very safe to walk even late at night. Best homemade breakfast with the host and his wife that are just charming and let’s not forget their exquisite cat…. I would definitely recommande this property

Convenient and Comfortable
Lyons House was perfect for a couple's weekend in Niagara on the Lake. Location was perfect...could leave the car and walk into Old Town - really important as the parking is challenging. Breakfasts were awesome, hosts very friendly, room comfortable and quiet. Beautiful old home, but spacious and updated. Just enough off of the beaten path but so close to everything.

This is NOT a "complaint", just an observation: it was a little awkward having to remember to take your shoes off and having to put them on at the door on the way out, especially, when you were changing shoes and like to use a shoehorn and then you have to carry it around all day/night.. Perhaps providing a shoehorn in the front hall would be helpful. I understand not wearing shoes in the house to protect the carpets, etc, even if a bit unusual, but the transition every time you went in, or out, was a little awkward. A minor inconvenience, however. It was a very nice place & we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Thank you for your observation but there were 2 tall shoe horns at the front door, one red and one black. There were in the umbrella holder. Thank you for mentioning this, we will definitely inform our future guests that shoe horns are available. Sorry for your inconvenience, we wish you would have mentioned this to us at the time of your visit. Best regards, Jolanta & Howard Historic Lyons House

A most pleasant home with amiable host couple. Roms are large, nicely appointed, clean and comfortable. Hosts Howard and Jolanta very helpful and pleasant. Breakfast s were great. Eggs Benedict and blueberry pancakes, fresh fruit all delicious. Sitting room very comfortable and a lovely garden setting for afternoon relaxing if you wish. Certainly recommend.

A Lovely Place with a Great Location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely B&B. The hosts are very friendly and accommodating. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious, creatively, and beautifully presented. The home is immaculate and very comfortable. The location is great. It was only a short walk to town. We were given dining suggestions as well as information about many of the wineries. We had a wonderful time and would love to return.

The rooms were clean, delightfully decorated and very comfortable! Our breakfasts were very delicious and hosts were very accommodating with dietary needs!

This was a great choice for a few days sightseeing in and around Niagara. Nice, comfortable, clean rooms and a wonderful gourmet breakfast. Owner went far out of his way to make us comfortable, including helping with recovery of an item we left behind. Highly recommended.

Intimate B&B at Niagara-on-the-Lake
There are only three guest rooms, so everyone got to know everyone else. The hosts are very friendly and accomodating. The breakfasts were fabulous. We stayed for three nights and had consecutively pancakes with real maple syrup and walnuts, and crisp bacon; eggs Benedict with, what else, Canadian bacon; and finally a feta cheese omelet and croissants. Every breakfast started with a fresh fruit cup and orange juice. Coffee or tea available. Everything was beautifully presented. In addition to the nicely appointed guest bedrooms, there's a gracious sitting room and dining room on the ground floor. There's a garden that's available for the guests, but it rained on and off during our stay so we didn't make use of it.

Unforgettable
This was mine and my husband's first time staying at a B&B and Howard and Yolanta made the experience unforgettable as we were celebrating my husband's 30th birthday. Their house is gorgous, the amenities are luxurious, the hosts are beautifully friendly and helpful and the overall experience was full of happy, positive energy. We felt like we stayed with long-time friends, were so well taken care of and Howard went above and beyond to make our celebration memorable. I cannot say enough good things about this precious place, except that I only hope it isn't booked solid the next time we want to return - fingers crossed!

We had never stayed at a B&B before and were a little worried. Not anymore. Will diffidently stay here whenever we return to Niagara on the Lake. Upon arrival we were given a full tour. House is beautiful and rooms just as nice. Breakfast was amazing, Howie is a great cook and made us feel at home. I would recommend Lyon House to everyone.

Historic Lyons House, a 5 star experience!
Historic Lyons House was a wonderful Bed and Breakfast. The house is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The breakfasts were fabulous; the food, presentation, table settings were beyond expectation. The location was great, right on King Street, just 3 blocks from the main part of town. The host and hostess were very friendly and accommodating. They booked all our dinner reservations, told us where to go during the day, made sure we didn't get lost. Staying here was a very unique experience, it was our first time staying in a B&B and we both loved it. My husband and I would give this hotel a 5 star rating!

Perfect weekend getaway
We stayed at the Lyons for one night the past weekend for our wedding anniversary. We were charmed right away by the beautiful garden and the decors inside the house. The room was very clean, and we also got a bathroom with jacuzzi. Howard extended a very warm welcome and was extremely helpful to recommend places/restaurants for us to go. And if all of those didn't impress , the breakfast the next day was another Wow factor. Two thumbs up to our hosts for making us feel right at home! We will definitely recommend Lyons historic house to anyone!
