We've told family and friends all about our great experience there and recommended to everyone. The reason why we picked the B&B was because the room looked beautiful and spacious, and also we resonated with the passion the owner, David, has about the breakfast food, using local ingredients and free-range eggs, which we do too, and that he can accommodate food preferences (in our case, gluten-free meal). We stayed in The Hermitage room. Very spacious - it has a entry way with a piano, spacious bathroom, living room with a fire place, dining room with a doorway to the back yard, coffee counter with a mini fridge, and bedroom - all to yourself! All the furniture look elegant, antique, and cohesive. We were able to relax in the room very well. The common library was cool too. We loved the breakfast. It started with a fruit platter, slices of bread, and various kinds of cheese and jam from local shops and followed by the warm meal of the day. We also enjoyed the beautiful table setting and presentation on the plates in the common dining room. All the guests in the B&B will have breakfast together at one dining table. It was a fun and unique experience for us to make new friends and enjoy the meal together with them! Also, David's huge stash of loose leaf tea was so fun to explore! We also enjoyed our morning walk in the subdivision to the lake Ontario and looking at cute houses in the area. ##### Mami Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### laura 13 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Spotless, literally gleaming and polished place that made me feel like staying with Royal relatives I don't otherwise have.

David was a fantastic host. The B&B was exceptionally clean throughout and so inviting as soon as you stepped foot inside! David welcomed us in as if we were family. With COVID we were the only couple in the house and had access to the downstairs and upstairs lounge at our will. The soft playing music throughout felt relaxing and added to the ambiance. The best part was being surprised each morning with a full homemade breakfast - it was amazing! David has the skill to create an amazing presentation, the unique dishes we felt were in a fine French restaurant , personally felt we were living the Royal lifestyle! We have been to many B&B’s- this tops them all. Please consider this place- it’s nestled just a few mins from the Old Historic Town of NOTL in a quite area -you won’t be disappointed. Merci David!! We will be back :) ##### Franca Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2021 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 8 Dec 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay at Panache!

The house was a delight, the bedroom was both beautiful (4-post bed!!) and super comfortable, and David was the most incredible host, super helpful and lovely without being overbearing in anyway. The breakfast was a revelation (Sunday Crepe day!) and he was super helpful in giving ideas of where to go in Niagara on the Lake. For sure I will stay here next time I go back. ##### Angela Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maria 20 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I like everything, from the warm welcome by David and the puppies!
