The Red Coat

We've stayed at the Red Coat twice now and have been equally happy both times. Sandra genuinely enjoys her work and went out of her way to take care of our needs. She prepares an excellent breakfast, the rooms are well-appointed and the old house has been carefully restored. We enjoy exploring the historic hamlet of Queenstown and the Queenstown Heights National Historic Site. We are looking forward to returning, Sandra, and sitting on the front porch with our morning coffee!

My husband and I stayed over for our anniversary. We highly recommend! Sandra and Keith were so welcoming and the breakfast Sandra served us was excellent. The place was beautiful and very well maintained. Our room was so comfortable and was stocked with many amenities which reflected the thoughtfulness of the hosts. We enjoyed walking around the historic Queenston neighborhood and appreciated the guidance that the hosts gave us about the area. Being outside of NOTL proper was actually a benefit. If you are in the area, please consider staying at the Red Coat and tell the hosts we said hello!

As Shaw festival attendee's, we have always stayed in the heart of NOTL, but were happy to discover The Red Coat. The scenic drive up the Niagara parkway made door to box office trips in 12 to 18 minutes. And it is stress-free travel. Moreover, we did things that we never had done before in our many, many trips to Niagara on the lake. The Niagara Parks botanical gardens are nearby and the Canadian side of the falls is just up the road. There is a splendid butterfly garden and massive historic floral clock nearby as well. A very close Marina launches jet boats that go up the Niagara River. But the Inn and it's owners are the real stars. Super accommodations in an historic home with fabulous breakfasts. We were fortunate to choose a room that provided a huge covered balcony / veranda that was the width of the house. So whether you are doing winery tours, theater at the Shaw, history of the area, or just going to a pick your own orchard, the red coat is a great choice.

I can't say enough good things about my stay. The bed was the most comfortable I've ever slept in outside of my own. The hostess made me a wonderful breakfast with sugar-free jam (I'm diabetic) and a baked apple. Great coffee! I was there for a printing tutorial, and when I came back she asked how it went and we had a lovely conversation. She gave me a good restaurant recommendation and sent me on my way home with muffins! I will be visiting Queenston again, and I'll definitely book the Red Coat!

Sandra was a perfect host and a great cook. She was accommodating to various dietary concerns and made delicious breakfasts. The house was very clean, comfortable and it was on a nice quiet street, not very far from the NOTL town centre.

Great experience all around. The place is great, spot is great 15 min from Niagara falls and 15 minutes from Niagara on the lake. Last but not least Sandra is great.. Her hospitality and breakfast is very memorable.

We had never been to NOTL or Canada. So lovely accommodating cute and quaint! Perfect distance from attractions. Not too far and not too close. I have a gluten intolerance and only drink decaf. She made gluten free pancakes for me and surprised me with gluten free muffins the next day. Had a pot of decaf for just me every morning! Thanks so much!! Hope to be back someday!!

Thanks again Sandra for a really lovely time. Your attention to detail is really inspiring. The individual cooked breakfast was amazing and delicious. Staying in your home you made us feel really welcome and relaxed. The bed and breakfast is situated in a really quiet part of Queenston and surrounded by so many historic buildings.

We had a wonderful stay at the Red Coat Inn! A cozy getaway to enjoy and relax after touring Niagara Falls, NOTL and the local wineries. The room was very comfortable, with wines glasses and mini fridge to make the most of snacks and beverages - we will come back in the warmer weather so we can enjoy a glass of wine on the beautiful balcony connected to our suite! The breakfasts served were so creative, delicious and beautifully presented! We had great conversations with the hosts who were so friendly, and helpful with tips on where to visit (the walk to the Queenston Heights Park and the rich history of the War of 1812, the Landscape of Nations Memorial and Brock's Monument are a must see!) and restaurants to try out. We will definitely be sharing our experience with family and friends and we plan on visiting again!
