Breakfast at The Stream B&B

This is one of the fine breakfasts served at the Stream Bed & Breakfast in Hockley Valley, Ontario: baked French toast, bacon, fresh fruit, yogurt, and coffee. That was just the first day. The second morning we had amazing homemade quiches and muffins baked that morning with jam in the middle.

The Stream has the best of what I picture B&Bs to be. The gorgeous property was built by owner John, and you get a very warm welcome from his wife Kersty and manager Will.

Two of the bedrooms have a view of a small waterfall and there’s a tree growing through the sunny living room. There’s a dartboard and tons of board games, as well as lots of movies in case you feel like curling up in front of the gigantic fireplace.

The hot tub on the patio has a stunning view of the stars in that dark stillness you can’t find in the city.

We stayed at the Stream because of a wedding but many people come to this part of the world for the fall colours and to hike the Bruce Trail.
