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.

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.

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.
