Quaint Cottage In Old Town Steps To Shops And Restuarants

In the Heart of Old Town Niagara-on-the-Lake

The quaint Swinton Cottage is the perfect place for a romantic getaway or a memorable family retreat.

Located in the oldest section of Niagara-on-the Lake, this century old home is only a 2 minute stroll to the downtown Queen Street area, where you will find world class restaurants, the Shaw Festival and local boutiques. You can also visit some of Ontario’s most famous wineries.

The Swinton Cottage (circa 1890), has been lovingly restored and features all the original charm with all the modern amenities.

Relax and unwind from the days adventures as you nestle in front of a kindling fire. Savor local wines with your culinary masterpiece made in the fully-equipped kitchen or enjoy the outdoor garden while your meal sizzles on the grill.

We invite you to stay at The Swinton Cottage in beautiful Niagara-on-the–Lake for an experience you will never forget.

Looking for more space? Please visit our sister property at The Flynn House, located a few blocks away.

delightful cottage, closed to downtown
It's a lovely cottage, with all the amenities you'll need. And it is only a short walking distance to downtown Niagara-on-the-Lake and the Shaw Festival. We hope to return someday.

Nice cottage in the perfect location. Loved the 1800 period look with modern conveniences. Enjoyed having coffee on the front porch away from the Main Street, but only it is only a short walk away.

Fantastic stay
We had a great stay for our first trip to the Niagara area! The house was clean and perfect for our family of four. The house had nice amenities and was in a quiet area. The location was convenient to all the Niagara attractions and within walking distance to a friendly, quaint downtown. We recommend staying here and hope to come again.

Beautiful cottage style home in great location.
This place was beautiful with a front porch perfect for drinking coffee and watching the dogs walk by on the sidewalk out front. The inside is pretty and peaceful. The only thing I would mention for renters that care about this is that the beds are all very FIRM. The location is 2 blocks from the Main Street and perfect walking distance to anything. Great place!

Shaw Festival visit to NOTL
We spent four nights at the Swinton Cottage and found it to meet all our needs. The house has a great location three blocks from Queen Street and all the Play venues, restaurants and shopping. The house is on a quiet street and has off street parking. The host checked on us to make sure we were satisfied with everything during our stay.

What a gorgeous historic house. We loved how you kept the charm of it intact, while providing enough modern conveniences to not make it challenging. The yard could use a little love (the vegetation needs a little trimming). The outdoor dining table has one leg that’s holding on by a thread. Maybe just fix it or replace it? Other than that it was a wonderful property.

Charming home in great location
We had a lovely stay here - very clean, charming decor and just a few blocks from the center of town. The check in was a wee bit stressful since we didn't obtain the keycode until we called just before 4 pm. But Luisa did call us after I sent an email and she was very friendly. Had a bit of ant problem on the 2nd floor in the bathroom from a small hole in the ceiling. Was able to fix the problem with duct tape that was in the home. Luisa was very responsive and although she couldn't get anyone out to the house before we left, our duct tape did the job for the duration. Really appreciated how close this house was to town.

Quaint as pictured
Quaint property great location. I would suggest the upstairs loft be advertised for children due to the slanted ceilings. Any adult would hit their heads sitting up in bed. The Living area was lovely and altho small the kitchen and pantry were well equipped. My biggest complaint would be the beds. The back porch room bed is a springy pullout but has room for a proper bed and the other beds were ok. If you want location off the main drag this was great. Front porch wicker furniture needs to be upgraded so guests don't feel like they are going to break it and the white dried paint chips off on your clothes.

Wonderful stay!!!!
We had an awesome week at this beautiful, cozy cottage! It was a perfect location with just minutes walking distance from main strip. We found it to be very spacious for our family of four (including our 19 and 13 yr olds). There was one bedroom with queen bed and a loft upstairs with a single bed and big double bed. A sun room in back of cottage has pull out couch. The backyard was very small and we really couldn’t enjoy it or the bbq because both didn’t seem too inviting! There is so much to do and see that it really didn’t bother us! It was wonderful to sit out on the front porch for a little down time! Would highly recommend because of the location, convenience, space and cleanliness. Luisa, one of the hosts, was wonderful to deal with. Very kind and prompt to reply. We all loved it here!!!!

Cute cottage in old town
We loved our stay at this cute cottage. It is actually much larger than we expected and lots of room for the entire family. We were 5 adults and we had plenty of room to sleep, dine and relax. The details in the decor and the cottage layout are great. We enjoyed the BBQ and found the kitchen to be stocked with everything needed to cook as needed. The location is perfect in a quiet neighborhood but just a short walk from the main street for shops and dinning in NOTL. The hosts were easy to reach and check in was a breeze. Would definitely recommend for a short stay with family or friends.
