What I liked - staff (Kerry) great to talk to, served nice breakfast (slice of ham, toast, jam, scrambled egg, orange juice and coffee). Clean, nice, shared bathroom. Good bed linen and bathrobe. What I didn't like -- bed (Boutique room) saggy (I have a neck/back problem), room small (very narrow space beside bed, thus unable to avoid floor vent when walking through - vent also kept getting dislodged). Most inconvenient was the check in procedure, which was from 3:00 PM sharp to 3:30 (guests have to give advance notice if arriving after 3:30 PM). We got there 15 minutes early, very hot and sunny --at exactly 3 PM, we got a call and the door code. We were catching the Elvis shows and it was inconvenient to leave a show (thus leaving a coveted parking space near the show) just to check in at the exact half hour, then going back to the show (and trying to find parking again). It could be said that we could have made prior check in arrangement (a day in advance notice, I believe) but given the nature of the visit,, this would have a tad impractical.

We had an early morning leave so could not take advantage of breakfast. Made ourselves a cup of tea but no water available downstairs (Bria pitcher was empty) so got water from bathroom sink. Would be nice to have a coffee option and maybe access to milk. Lovely home and location!

Bill and Carey (hope I spelled their names properly) are absolutely hilarious as they make breakfast in the morning, so you get dinner and a show! The house, while evidently very old, has been well-kept and maintained, giving it lots of character.

Our experience was great overall and will definitely recommend it and return. The only issue, which is a small one, is that our bed, in the basement bedroom, squeaks whenever you move around. Thank you for giving us a great experience and adding to our weekend!

The most disrespectful owner I have ever encounter
I spent one night at the findlay house that I will never forget!!!! The taps on the sink in the bathroom were loose, the coffee table had broken glass for the surface. There had been an obvious flood that had not been completely repaired. Aside from all of that, the owner was EXTREMELY RUDE to me after I made an inquiry about possibly being charged by Hotels.com as well as by her. She told me that it was impossible for that to happen and started to yell at me and told me to leave after I told her that Visa bills do not generally lie. My husband and I vacated immediatly after several texts that are not appropriate to repeat. Upon investigation by hotels.com, I was reimbursed as I was charged twice for the room. Very sad that a owner would treat a person with such disrespect and did not fulfill the requirements of a B&B. So sad that this happens in a country where we pride our kindness and consideration.

Lots of room for parking and location is quite ideal for the avid snowboarders for the price. The basement room is ideal if ur looking for privacy from other guests. It has a fully furnished den that's ideal for pple 6ft and under as the head room is a bit tight. The bed I slept on was nice an firm but the headboard was a bit creaky and annoying at the slightest movement.... nothing a pillow in-between wouldn't fix 😉

Nothin’ but a Great Time.
The Findlay house was great. Tanya was amazingly accommodating, especially after there was a slight hiccup with my credit card the day before we arrived. Oksana who took care of us once we arrived was so nice and helpful as well. As per previous reviews that mention a “curfew”, that’s not a thing. Also there is two bathrooms available, not one. We had breakfast plans with some friends from the wedding but I can say that it definitely smelled amazing. Not a single negative about the entire experience. If you’ve never stayed in a b&b before, it’s definitely something to try! As long as you go in knowing this isn’t a hotel and know what to expect. 10/10, next visit to Collingwood I will be staying at the Findlay House, and I will be recommending it to anyone who prefers the feel of a home rather than a copy/pasted hotel room.

Average
We were staying one night over Thanksgiving. Arrived late and obviously ended up with the worst bedroom in the basement. We had what turned out to be our own bathroom, but only one of the four lights worked so it was like the Black hole of Calcutta. Breakfast was OK and girl in charge worked very hard and did all she could.

Misleading description of facilities
The website description of the Findlay House is misleading. The most egregious misleading aspect is that the bathroom has to be shared by 3 rooms (6 people). There is a curfew at midnight, and the breakfast time has to be booked the day before. The rooms was extremely small. There were more misleading descriptors, about having concierge services and a business centre, excellent location, all lies, but we didn't care about those. the deal breaker was the shared bathroom. We decided not to stay.

Dearest Guest. It is unfortunate you did not stay with us as you then could write a review not on what you thought or your expectations but yet your experience. Most Bed and Breakfasts do not have guest kitchens, 3 living areas, 5 patios on a acre lot walking distance to Down town for the value we offer it at. There are 2 bathrooms between 3-4 rooms at our maximum capacity. Each room offers bathrobes, slipper and 100% cotton towels, Flat screen TV's with 1200 channels and the movie network. There is no curfew sooo again if you did not stay this seems strange to comment on? We have staff that live onsite in a separate property we built to assist with concierge and that is who checked you in while offering complementary wine passes, 20 % off Scandinave Spa and trail maps. It is extremely unfortunately that this sweet boutique property is taking reviews from a guest that really didn't experience anything.

Only there for sleeping as we had a really early start so no breakfast. A/c was cranked pretty high so happy to have comforter on bed and blanket to cover up with while sitting in living area. Bedside light didn’t work. Warm welcome and good explanation of where everything was in house and downtown.

We had expected a host at a B&B,
The host was reached by phone, we were moved to the basement that was freezing cold, blankets required to watch tv, A fine young lady arrived in the morning to prepare breakfast, eggs and toast in some form, eggs over cooked, French toast under cooked. Second day temperature improved, after a discussion with the cook, the scrambled eggs were quite good. Orange juice and coffee were good, limited fresh fruit, no yogurt as suggested on the website. This is not what I expect at a B&B, if this place is considered to be a B&B. The upstairs rooms looked quite attractive,

Not a B and B
Every B and B I have stayed in across Canada had the following. A host, reasonable quality mattress, bed size that fit the room, amenities like soap etc. facilities for morning coffee. The Findlay House had none of these. The king size bed was jammed up against the wall with no room to put a travel clock glasses etc. The bathroom was clean but the only soap etc. appeared to be the remnants left behind by previous occupants. The curtains were thin material that could not block minimal light. This is not a B and B, At best it is a flop house. Please read our review on Trip Advisor.

Not so comfortable
We found the room to be small. With the queen bed and the big desk, their was no place to open our suitcase. Also, because the three main level guest rooms are so close together, it was rather noisy when the other guests came to their rooms. It did not meet our expectations for the price we paid for it.

There are not many hotel options in downtown Collingwood so having tried 3 of them in the recent past, we opted for this B&B which was very highly rated on the Expedia site. Not really sure why. Findlay House appears to be a 60s or 70s bungalow in a residential area just south of the downtown. The rooms are tiny and cramped - put a queen sized bed in one and there's barely room to navigate ... there was one small bathroom upstairs and another downstairs. And although only three of the 'bedrooms' in the facility were occupied in the place, the concept of sharing a bathroom with strangers is not something I embrace - and should have been made clear on the website.

First time
Was the girlfriends and I first time staying at a bed and breakfast and would definitely again!! Was very quite and clean and we felt comfortable from the get go. Was only about a 3 min drive into Collingwood and we had a great dinner at a steakhouse on the main street. Oksana made an awesome breakfast for us both before we left and couldn't have been nicer. Would recommend!!

Hi Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and breakfast. We do provide whole grain cereals, yogurt and fruit however most of our guest prefer a large breakfast, Omelettes, french toast or egg's, ham and jam. Please if you choose to stay with us again, request for a lighter breakfast and we will have options. Best wishes, Tanya
