B&Bs in Lanark

Judith Canada

We went for 2 nights to get away and to celebrate a 65th birthday. This lovely home is tucked away and we almost missed the turn in driveway. As it's getting close to Christmas the house is fully decorated inside and it's elegant and cozy. Our hosts were Robert and Lisa and you couldn't want for more welcoming or accommodating people. We had booked the room with the King size bed and it's in a little house next door to the main house by itself. Every attention to detail has been provided. The privacy is lovely and we had a hot tub right outside the door. It was a frosty but lovely weekend. We used that hot tub 3 times, two evenings and one morning. The evenings were clear and cold but the moon and stars were shining and that hot tub was beautiful in a lovely setting and was truly a memorable highlight. Breakfast is served in a spacious and elelgant dining room. They have several offerings such as fritatta, eggs benedict, pancakes, waffles and french toast. As I don't partake that kind of breakfast, and prefer a more continental style, they very kindly created a breakfast charcuterie with meats, cheeses, fruits as well as the lightest, flakiest croissants ever! This was after being served tiny bowls of vanilla yogurt studded with strawberries and blueberries. So thoughtfilly and beautifully presented. Also there was orange juice and coffee or tea. I was told they had never had anyone ask for a continental breakfast before. I guess they will now. This was one of the best getaways we've ever had and we will definitely be back!
