Small, but well located
House is small, with two bedrooms, all on a single level. Location is ideal. The one bathroom is in the kitchen and is very tight, but it works.

The ultimate central location for a visit to Niagara-on-the-Lake - just a couple minutes’ walk one way to the heart of shopping and restaurants, and to the lake in the other direction. The cottage is cozy, and love the long history of it.

Excellent property. Only issue was the driveway (which we were notified of). Just be aware that the bathroom is small, and may be difficult for a larger person to navigate.

Great location and porch!
Positives: The house was very cute and clean. It was in a great location. Sitting on the front porch watching the world go by is wonderful. Negatives: As other reviews stated, the bathroom is tiny. My 6’3” husband had difficulty navigating. To get to the bathroom you have to cross the living room and go through the kitchen. Not ideal. The shower and outside of the house need attention.

Wedding weekend
My siblings and our partners had a lovely time staying in this home, its quite small (we were 7 adults) but it is very cute and very functional. We were very comfortable, and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay as well as to prepare for the wedding we were attending during our stay we were even able to walk to both the church and the wedding venue, and enjoy the sights of NOTL due to the very good location the super-long driveway was also very convenient as we had arrived in several cars overall we had a really lovely seamless stay, and would recommend this cottage to anyone who wants to see NOTL for a more affordable price than many of the other local rentals and hotels

Relaxing get-a-way
The Lilly Pad is in an outstanding location for enjoying all that Niagara-on-the-Lake has to offer! Easy walk to almost anywhere, and the bikes provided were an enjoyable “plus!” The cottage was very clean, and the beds very comfortable. The bathroom situation was less than ideal. It is very small, and right off the kitchen (which doesn’t offer much privacy!) Outdoor spaces were adequate, but could benefit from a little “sprucing up!” But even with the a few shortcomings, the Lilly Pad provided a lovely home base for our stay at NOTL!!

Shows, shopping and Food
Parked at the Lily Pad and walk everywhere in the village, what a pleasure. Easy, and beautiful, walking to both the Shaw Festival Theater and the Royal George. Walking on the main street OR in the beautiful neighborhood and park around the Lily Pad was great. The Lily Pad is not just a great location it is clean, the neighborhood was quiet, the hosts have bicycles available, beautiful backyard to sit in, also a comfy front porch for relaxing and a full kitchen. Very nice and comfy cottage. First time I used anything other than a hotel, this beats a hotel for comfort and space to relax and enjoy. The hosts where very good with communicating and everything is just as it is presented online, no surprises. We ate every meal in the village, three guys, three meals a day (and snacking) several restaurants, each meal/snack was great. The shop and restaurant staff we interacted with were great. Wonderful village, great shows, great place to stay.

The Lily Pad
We had a lovely stay at the charming Lily Pad. It is a quaint (reminded me of my grandparents home of many years ago) two bedroom one bath home, lovingly cared for. The eat-in kitchen is well stocked for cooking, the bedrooms small but beds comfortable, the bathroom off the kitchen cramped but serviceable, and the living room spacious. It is perfect for two couples or a small family, so long as you don’t have a bathroom hog! It is only a few minutes walk from shops, restaurants, theaters, golf course and the park on Lake Ontario is just at the end of the street. We used the complementary bikes to visit wineries and bike along the escarpment. All in all a memorable stay and would highly recommend.
