"Historic Secord House proudly invites you to share in the heritage of one of Niagara's most admired Bed and Breakfasts"

Welcome to
HISTORIC SECORD HOUSE CIRCA 1782
in Niagara on the Lake
Ontario Canada

General Description

Welcome to Historic Peter Secord House bed and breakfast, a Colonial American home, rich in history and comfort. Some information that you may find interesting is that the heritage home was built in 1782 by Laura Secord's uncle Peter and is situated in the historic hamlet of St. Davids, the hub of the Niagara area. The house is located close to the old town, Niagara Falls, St. Catharines and the International Border. During the War of 1812 the community changed hands many times and at each time of occupation the forces used the building as a field hospital. In 1814 the village was burned, historians note that the building was spared as it was a hospital for the troops. Typical of New Paltz, New York, Huguenot stone houses have simple lines, native stone and sound construction. It is the oldest loyalist building west of Montreal and the only one of its kind in Niagara.

Secord House is restored and offers guests comfortable, private accommodation with ensuite and all amenities. Breakfast is served in the Tavern room by candlelight and changes daily. Visitors enjoy the smell of freshly brewed coffee, homemade baking and delicious breakfast entrees. Relax in the Loyalist room which has the original fireplace, heartpine floors, windows, trim and the first french doors built in Upper Canada.

If you would like a glimpse into what life was like in a Colonial American home, in the days before Canada existed, read about us in the Toronto Star, Niagara-on-the-Lake section V, dated April 8, 2010, written by Christopher Hume, Architecture Critic.

There are lots of things to enjoy when you visit with us and our central location puts us in close proximity to the Shaw Theatres, golfing, antiquing, Fort George, Museums, Niagara Falls, shopping, hiking and biking trails, fine dining and wine tasting at more than 22 wineries within the town.

We strive to make your Niagara vacation as memorable as possible and welcome you with gracious hospitality and traditional sensibility.

Directions

COMING FROM TORONTO:

Take the QEW towards Niagara Falls, Exit at 38B - Niagara Stone Road. You will see signs for Niagara-on-the-Lake exit. At the second set of traffic lights turn right on to York Road - towards St. Davids/Queenston, you will pass world class Chateau des Charmes winery and Ravine Vineyard Estate Winery (in-house celebrity chefs are Michael & Anna Olson.) Follow York Road to the first intersection - Four Mile Creek Road, turn right and we are the sixth building on the left.

COMING FROM FORT ERIE/BUFFALO/PEACE BRIDGE:

Take the QEW towards Toronto or north. Exit at 34 - Mountain Road. Turn right on to Mountain Road (east.) At the second set of lights - St. Paul Ave turn left, it becomes Four Mile Creek Road. The drive in to St. Davids is part of the Niagara Escarpment. Drive approximately 3km on Four Mile Creek Rd and we are the stone building on the right hand side. (Note: If you miss the Mountain Rd. exit then take the next exit #38 - there is no 38B in this direction, turn right on to Glendale and then right at York Rd. and follow the directions above.)

COMING FROM QUEENSTON/LEWISTON BRIDGE:

Take the first exit after the toll booth - and then turn left on to Town line Road. Go down the hill and at the stop sign turn right on to Four Mile Creek Road. Drive approximately 1km and we are the stone building on the right hand side (you will see the sign on the lamp-post.)

Please note that Mapquest and GPS directs traffic to Canada over the Queenston/Lewiston bridge. During the summer months this bridge is extremely busy and the wait time may be longer than anticipated, you may want to consider crossing in to Canada at the Peace bridge or the Rainbow bridge in Niagara falls for a shorter wait time.
