Excellent location!
This is a wonderfully located cottage that is very comfortable, clean and beautiful. It was very comfortable for all six of us and we had a great time.
We love Swayze Cottage...it's location, it's comfortable beds, it's workable kitchen, it's porches.
We'll continue to go every year
Golf weekend in Niagara
Another year and another fabulous accommodation at Swayze cottage. Thank you to John & Lorraine for making our stay such a pleasure. Cottage was clean and well equipped. Nice exterior upgrades since last year. See you again next year!! 🇨?🇦?😎? Dave, Dian, Steve & Donna
Wonderful time in the character filled heart of NOTL
A unique and historically interesting home. Everything one could need is supplied and so wonderfully close to the action of NOTL.
Great hosts - we will be back in future!
Due to a mixup in our passports, we were unable to actually stay at the Swayze cottage during the weekend we initially booked. However, John and Lorraine were extremely understanding and accommodating. We will certainly be booking with them again in the future and actually come enjoy a getaway in NOTL!
Annual NOTL Getaway
We have been coming to NOTL each year for a weekend getaway for the past 17 years and each time have stayed at Swayze's cottage. The cottage is in a great location and within easy reach of all amenities. The cottage is clean, well maintained and well appointed and we could not imagine staying anywhere else when we visit NOTL, however this year I was surprised by the significant increase in the price. Last year I paid a total of C$680 for a 2 night stay, this year our 2 night stay was C$900. I thought this may have been as a result of exchange rate fluctuations but on checking found that the exchange rate was pretty much the same.
Map
Niagara-on-the-Lake is the original Capital of Upper Canada from 1792 to 1797. Nestled along the shores of the Niagara River and Lake Ontario, we hold the distinction of being the only municipality in Canada whose elected head holds the title of Lord Mayor.
Each year millions of people from around the world travel here to experience our Town’s unique charm and historic sites, including Fort George and Brock’s Monument; period-restored heritage homes, top-flight golf courses, breath-taking parks and gardens, as well as over 30 wineries and countless vineyards, many of which produce our world-class ice wine.
In 2012 we launched the 200th commemoration of the War of 1812. Last from 1812 to 1814, and was the only time any country invaded Canada. in 1814, the Town’s Bicentennial Committee will continue to host a range of historical re-enactments and special events dedicated to our role as a major battle site leading to the creation of modern-day Canada.
We hope you will enjoy our Old Town shopping district, which boasts of a number of quaint shops, boutiques and restaurants, fine hotels, spas and bed & breakfast establishments, as well as public and private art galleries, the centuries-old Court House, museums, and of course, the renowned Shaw Festival Theatre.
