About this property

Orlando's Hideaway a quiet & comfortable 1887 home adjacent to heritage district

Orlando's is situated on a quiet one way street, a three minute walk from Stratford's beautiful parkland & river. Built in 1879 the house has been faithfully renovated back to it's original historic beauty and charm. With original wood floors, hardware and trim-the modern amenities include a well equipped new kitchen. Upstairs is the spacious bedroom with a queen sized bed and three piece bathroom ensuite.
There is a front porch-ideal for watching the theatre goers as they meander these beautiful neighbourhood streets on their way to the Festival Theatre, and just off the kitchen is the back deck, secluded and ideal for late evening cocktail or simply enjoying our garden. This home is an extension of our award winning B&B, The Old Rectory just around the corner.
Up to three couples traveling together could rent both apartments-(Rosalind's Retreat & Orlando's Hideaway) as they are adjacent.

Fabulous location

Great location for those who like to walk to theatre, dinner and shopping. The small deck off the back is a great sit with a glass of wine or cup of something to watch the birds and squirrels in the yard. Kitchen is well stocked. Bed is comfy and living area works well for those who like to tuck up with a good book. We certainly enjoyed the morning pastries and homemade jams left for us. A very thoughtful and appreciated touch.

A wonderful stay!

The house was spacious, spotlessly clean, the kitchen was very well-equipped and the beds were comfortable. We loved the location and we could walk to the theaters and restaurants very easily. Kevin was an extremely helpful and considerate host. Overall this was a great find and we will definitely be back next year!

Orlando's Heavenly Hideaway

We loved having our own pristine, light-filled, perfectly appointed little house in Stratford. The quiet residential neighborhood was just a block from the restaurants, shops and coffee shop on Ontario Street, and midway between the two theaters we walked to most often -- plus just a block from the 2-mile walking/running loop around the lake. Ideal!

About the host

Hosted by Kevin Gormley and Kim Foster

We both share a passion for good wholesome food. Kevin has worked previously for 15 years at some of the U.K.'s and Irelands finest 'Relais & Chateaux' Country Inns and Hotels in their restaurants before moving to Stratford from Ireland in 1993. Kim is a native of Stratford and has traveled extensively on a private yacht catering to crew and invited guests. Both of us now enjoy life together in the great community of Stratford with our son among family and friends. Together we hope to nourish your body and soul.

Why they chose this property

We love this home, have known the previous owner and as such it's been a home from home for us. Our son in the '00's spent many days as a toddler roaming this house and gardens, and we are happy to have been able to renovate this home with a view to keeping its 'feel' being one that you constantly want to return to. We know you'll love it (and the neighbourhood) as much as we do.
