Butternut Inn Bed & Breakfast, Port Hope, Ontario

An oasis only minutes from Port Hope's historic downtown (one hour east of Toronto) the Butternut Inn Bed & Breakfast nestles under the branches of a majestic butternut tree. Step through the door into a peaceful atmosphere that lifts your spirits and dissolves your workday tensions. Your innkeepers, Bonnie and Bob Harrison, take great care to make you feel at home.

Built of brick in the neo-classic style, the Butternut Inn dates from 1847 and has been lovingly restored and updated to satisfy the bed and breakfast connoisseur while losing none of its historic charm. Touches of whimsy reflect the fun-loving, magical spirit of its one-time resident, the irrepressible Great Farini - a famous 19th century aerialist and circus impresario.

The Butternut Inn has been awarded 3 diamonds by the CAA/AAA.
