Review from Janna S.
I organized my wedding and ceremony for this site and the support I had from the staff here was nothing less than perfect. Julie-Ann worked with me to make sure the event was a success, and she was very patient and helpful with all my questions. The setting here is really wonderful for a smaller wedding with an intimate, elegant tone. There isn't a great need to spend a lot on decorations because the space is already so beautiful, but staff here can recommend excellent event decorators and florists if you want one.
The only drawback was the A/C wasn't working properly and it got very hot in the grand hall. I could tell the staff were working really hard to deal with the problem, and they did everything they could to keep people comfortable. They were consistently professional and friendly, which is a lot more than I can say for many banquet halls. The food served here was really quite something - the chef provided a Vegan and Vegetarian friendly buffet with options for meat lovers, and I had dozens of compliments over how tasty everything was and how much people enjoyed themselves.
I'm so grateful this wonderful place offers reasonable rates with such exceptional service and support. Definitely consider holding your event here! There is plenty of free parking and I can't wait to come back here and stay in the hotel again on my anniversary! -

The Windermere Manor is a quaint hotel nestled right outside of the Western Ontario University, in London Ontario. The hotel is actually owned by the university and boasts beautiful landscapes and centry old-buildings. The architecture of the hotel is beautiful - it looks like it was built in the late 1800s. The hotel is clean and quiet!
The bedrooms are a bit outdated in style, and there aren't man frills to staying at this place. Rooms are decorated in the late 1970's decor - complete with floral wall paper and carpet, wood tables, and vintage nightstand lamps. But, that is what makes this place quaint and cute. You can sleep with your windows open and view the outside forrest and lake. If you are lucky, you'll see deer and other wildlife hanging around. Also unique about this manor is that they have bee-hives on location, which they sell fresh honey and hair products (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, soap) made of the bee's stuff. NICE!
The best thing about this manor is that the staff are AMAZING! Starting at the front desk with Sarah - I think she is the front desk manager. Super friendly with a "Can Do" attitude. Her other staff members at the front desk - Catherine (and Gwen? Sorry, don't recall) - are also super happy. I especially like the fact that they were willing to help schedule rides and make dinner reservations for guests. [Side Joke: Sarah, build your staff the Yellow Brick Road!].
While there, dine at the Windermere Manor Cafe. Server / Manager Jason and his staff are SUPER friendly. The restaurant has some great food (I suggest the weekend buffet with prime rib, or the fish and chips off the regular menu). The servers are super nice and friendly.
