Lovely little motel- traditional house converted into a charming inn. Check-in was easy, although unconventional. Room was small but not cramped- perfect for a 1-2 night stay. Very clean, even if a little dated. Loved the rural setting- plenty of fun with the cows in the field behind the property! Only ‘complaint’ was the water- very strong iron smell of the water made showering or teeth brushing unpleasant.

The motel was nice, clean and quiet for a short trip of one night stay. Janet, one of the staff, was super friendly and gave us lots of information about the area. I recommend this motel as it’s very close to Tobermory around 30minutes and you can explore Lion’s Head as well.

Our overall experience was good and Janet is a great host. I beleive we shouldnt expect too much from motels in the area, and we booked it just to sleep overnights since there's a lot to do in the area from beaches and hiking and it met our expectations.

Janet was so nice to accommodate us earlier than the check in time. She even phoned me to check where we were so. She welcomed and oriented us around giving instructions and information that we needed to know. Days prior to our stay, she messaged me just to communicate. Well Done! * Rooms were so clean and organized. * Kitchen is completely stacked with all the things you need from utensils to glasses to plates, etc. * It’s also equipped with all the kitchen appliances you need from coffee maker, toaster, microwave, fridge and even stove. * I highly recommend this place!!!

The Northwinds was a last minute stay as we didn't get a reservation for the ferry in time. The room was small, lacked a hair blower and ac (had a large fan), was convenient to catch the ferry and visit Lion's Head beforehand. However, the desk staff was more than helpful! Very friendly with some helpful hints for dinner etc. It was a breeze checking in and would stay here in future if we are in the area.

Janet was very welcoming and friendly - a genuinely nice person. The location was ideal for my walks on the Bruce Trail in the northern Bruce Peninsula. The room was very clean, and items such as coffee were supplied/renewed every day. I will definitely return to this motel to stay in for future Bruce Trail walks, and would highly recommend this facility to anyone else.

Property appears to be a converted single family home poorly sectioned off with furnishing way below the level expected for the nightly price. A phone on the exterior/outer wall of the building put you in contact with someone who explained to pull and push 'hard' on the outer door to get the door to open. Then we were told where the room key was 'hidden'. After our look around the accommodation (five minutes), my wife said we would not be staying. Locked the door and left the room key in the room. Used the outside phone to inform the listener that we would not be staying.

Just an overnight visit to Lions Head area & really only required a place to sleep. Northwinds was very welcoming, had all we required & reasonably priced. Perfect spot for our needs on this trip. 😁😁
