The Colonel’s Inn is simply stunning, being one of the prettiest and most imposing of the classic stone-built houses so common in Prescott. 

All but one of the inn’s bedrooms on the second floor of the main house are particularly charming, each having an old world appeal with lovely antiques on display. It is true that most of these good-sized and very attractive bedrooms share just one common bathroom at the end of a long hall, and this could be a consideration for older guests who know they may be getting up a time or two during the night.

I admit to some dismay when, after walking past the open doors of these aforementioned spacious and handsomely furnished bedrooms, my husband and I were then shown into Sarah's Suite, called the Comfort Double Room With Balcony on the booking.com website. What happened?! It was as if we had left one house and entered an entirely different one.

Sarah's Suite, accessed by a lockable door from the main hall, consists of a very short, naked hallway with three doors opening from it into the three tiny rooms that are considered part of the suite. One door leads to a small, private powder room; one, kept closed at this time of year, to an enclosed, unheated porch which is, quite possibly, very nice in warm months, but this was January; and the third to a closet-like bedroom, the tiny size of which propelled my claustrophobic self into immediate anxiety mode. 

Four distressingly empty picture hooks on the west wall contributed to my initial dismay.    As soon as I could I stopped at the thrift store in Brockville to find and purchase four second-hand pictures to hide those empty hooks. That done, I felt a little better.

Sarah’s queen-sized bed, the head of which was against the room’s south wall during our visit, is squeezed into a space that leaves not quite a yard on one side, a little over twelve inches on the other (I measured), and just enough space at the foot to allow the door to open. On the plus side, I found this bed to be very comfortable, firm, like I like a bed to be. 

However, if this room is to be let to guests, I would suggest that it be made available only to singles, not couples. A twin bed could reasonably fit in the space available, with enough room remaining to allow for a table or dresser or, at the very least, a folding suitcase rack.

An irregular alcove allows for placement of a tiny chifferobe, on top of which, by necessity, is set the tv. There is no place in the bedroom to put purse or suitcases, so we set ours on the floor in the hallway. In order for me to sleep (I’m just claustrophobic enough to make such a tight space a potential nightmare) we had to leave the door into the hallway open at night.

To conclude, I would definitely recommend the Colonel's Inn in general, if not Sarah’s Suite in particular. The inn is so pretty, and in its Christmas finery, which was still on display during our stay, the parlor and dining room were absolutely lovely. 

The breakfast is tasty and the coffee unlimited. Mike is an attentive host (his wife was away for the winter holidays while we were there, so we did not meet her), and just by coincidence one of our co-guests was the Brampton Batman, which was fun. (You have not quite lived until, without advance warning, Batman steps into the dining room in full regalia and calmly says good morning.)

I would be delighted to stay at the Colonel’s Inn again, but I think that if there is a next time, I will book the room called the Colonel’s Suite (referred to as the Executive King Suite on booking.com). The colonel’s quarters’ en suite bathroom would make middle-of-the-night trips down the main hall unnecessary, and claustrophobia would definitely not be an issue!  (I know, because I snuck into this spacious suite for a peek; in my defense, at the time the it was un-let and unoccupied.)

Weekend of January 14, 2019:  Sarah's Suite

1800's period correct house with historical significance for the region. Staff, service and food fantastic.

Cozy lodging, extra friendly staff, beautiful grounds, interesting collections of artk

Great place! Lots of character. The sheets were so comfy. The breakfast was amazing.

Unique B&B

Nice room, friendly staff, great breakfast. Would certainly book again.

Interesting history and decor. Very quiet. Good use of space. Warm and welcoming.

It was very clean, it looks like a real muséum and it was very quiet.  We had a delicious breakfast and the host is so nice, a real gentleman.  Welcome to all divers who wants to dive to see the Conestoga’s wreck.Sylvie O’Meara and Erick Olivier

I found the breakfasts out of the ordinary to the point of taking a picture and showing it to my wife and friends they were jealous. But on my third night I found parking my can was a bit of a struggle. One car was taking up too much space .but I managed.Gerhard was an exemplary host. Overall it was a wonderful stay.

Very historic an clean-amazing breakfasts nice having a pool to relax the day aaay
