Grey Gables Inn

I grew up in Pembroke many years ago before moving to Toronto at sixteen. During my childhood, I would walk past a grand house and its grounds daily, daydreaming about owning it one day. Unfortunately, like many childhood dreams, that never came to fruition. However, I have recently enjoyed staying there three times since it became The Grey Gables Inn. The experience was both enjoyable and fulfilling, satisfying some long-forgotten childhood dreams. The Inn is well-located in the city center, just a few blocks from where my father still lives, and within an easy walk of many beautiful surrounding streets, houses, and parks. My experience was lovely and efficient, from booking my room to arriving, staying, eating, and ultimately departing. The charming proprietors and staff went out of their way to make my visit memorable and magical. I cannot recommend this enchanting venue if you can stay there. It is, without a doubt, worth the experience. **Rooms** Although Grey Gables Inn is a small establishment, it offers several rooms of different sizes and configurations. My favourite is the Majestic, a small suite featuring a comfy king-sized bed, fireplace, television, and much space. It also includes a well-appointed bathroom and sufficient closet space. **Nearby Activities** Located in the heart of Pembroke, adjacent to a beautiful park once part of the original property, the Inn is close to everything this quaint town offers. **Safety** The Inn and the town itself are safe and secure. The owners provide guests with front door keys, which they lock after a particular hour each night. Each room is also securely locked, and the main desk is always within sight and hearing of the proprietors on the property daily. **Walkability** This is undoubtedly a highly walkable town, with lovely, quiet streets and plenty of grand homes from its Lumber Baron days in the 1800s. It is a short walk to Pansy Patch Park and the charming main street filled with cute restaurants, shops, historic Pembroke City Hall, and Heritage Murals. For access to Pembroke Mall or various tourist attractions, including the Champlain Trail Museum & Pioneer Village, Pembroke Waterfront Park & Marina, Murray L. Moore Hydro Museum, Hugli's Blueberry Ranch & Gift Store, Urban Oasis Day Spa, and others, it is best to take a car. **Food & Drinks** Grey Gables Inn offers delicious in-house dining at two venues: the more formal The Oak Door and the casual The Pantry. The beautifully appointed dining room serves weekend breakfast, Sunday tea, delicious lunches, and dinners. The Inn also hosts numerous special events, including unique and private weddings and Mother's Day. **Noteworthy Details** The Inn was originally a private grand home belonging to Edward A. Dunlop (1876-1934), a wealthy industrialist and politician, his wife Mable Dunlop (née Ferguson, 1883-1948), and their four children: Mable, Mary, Jean, and Edward Jr. (a disabled WWII war veteran and one-time M.P.P.).

I was charged for bed and breskfast, but on arrival told, no breakfast; that was a mistake. Also no coffee or tea facilities in room or indeed anywhere on premises. Had to go to Tim Horton's. Absolutely no soundproofing. Could hear conversations in the next room and their television, as well as phone calls in check in. House is lovely and the room was nice, but i had calked ahead and asked for a room with a bath and got only a shower. For over $230 a night i expected better.

I hope you don't have to cancel! They have an awesome scam they are running. Me and my brother had an event in Pembroke. Booked 3 rooms. First warning sign: They charged us for four rooms [claimed a mistake yet it is still on my card]. We called within 2 days to cancel well within their policy as the rooms were booked for 5 months later. Sweet as could be as they said no problem, let us fix that. Call 2 hey did you cancel? So sorry not sure how we missed that. Call 3 Hey what's up? Sorry we had a new girl on the desk we will have that done today. Call 4: HEY! Oh I see the problem it was charged to the restaurant no wonder we missed it. We will get right on that. Call 5: I got a "we can't wait to see you this weekend" email. Called again. The OWNER said I will do it myself call you back in an hour. Call 6: I am sorry Liza is not here, I am just the waitress. RUN. So many nice places in Pembroke. Places that don't steal your money.

While we did not stay overnight, we dined here for lunch with a family of 14. I was initially nervous that there would be issues with such a large group-but this place is a hidden gem in Pembroke. The restaurant itself is nice, comfortable, clean and pleasantly decorated.the young lady server was pleasant friendly and efficient. There was not one mistake on drink orders or food orders-all were delivered to the right person and the 14 meals all came out of the kitchen hot and with little waiting. The unanimous view was that the food was very good. The fish and chips were crispy and not over or undercooked. Shepherds pie was tasty and the salad was fulsome and hearty with eggs and lots of fixins! The total cost was MORE than reasonable and the overall experience has guaranteed that we will be back!!!!

Exceptional property! Great location. Wonderful . A bit misleading. It did not include breakfast . A $5 coupon was applied , which is fine but please state this in the description. 😊

The breakfast is not free,they give you five dollars off the price per person if you eat breakfast there. The Kensington was cramped and wind whistled in through the windows even when they were closed and latched. There's too much furniture in the small room and no proper desk. The room is very dark and light cant be let in due to the curtains being fixed in place. There's no Oak Room fine dining and the diner they have set up serves basic food with the Caesar being the only cocktail available. The food is good and the bed was comfortable. With no sprinklers and iffy wiring I felt like I was in a fire trap in this deteriorating,once grand, house.
