Discover South Georgian Bay
If you are looking at our site, you are likely considering a trip to the South Georgian Bay area. The area includes the communities of Collingwood, The Blue Mountains, Thornbury, Meaford, Clearview and Wasaga Beach, with attractions for every interest and age during every season of the year. We are continually amazed at the variety of activities, events, festivals and things to do within the Southern Georgian Bay area bordered by these great communities.
As members of the South Georgian Bay Tourism Association, we keep a close eye on what is going on each week and weekend throughout the year. We have brochure racks at the B&B which feature everything from golf to rock climbing, hiking to go-karts, and boat charters to beaching. We’ve got you covered.

Cycling in Simcoe & Grey Counties
The roads and trails are wide and bike friendly in our area of Ontario. Our B&B is very biker friendly with plenty of safe spaces for your bikes to be stored. The Georgian Trail is just off the back of our property and provides one of the best off-road flat surface cycling experiences anywhere in Ontario. Cycle the trail to lovely Thornbury only 17kms away from the bed and breakfast or ride into Collingwood and enjoy the Farmer’s Market. The Georgian Trail connects with the Collingwood Trails network for a seamless off-road experience. For even more information on Grey-Simcoe County Cycling visit Cycle Simcoe.
Local Arts & Culture
For information on local arts and culture happenings and places to visit check out the South Georgian Bay Arts Network. The South Georgian Bay area has one of the largest concentrations of artists in Ontario. The region is brimming with painters, photographers, sculptors, ceramic and textile artists, actors, musicians, dancers, and writers. These talented artists amplify the beauty of our natural environment and create events that allow locals and out-of-town guests to gather to celebrate and create community.

My partner and I just recently stayed at the Craigleith Manor and it was absolutely amazing. We indulged in their ultimate couples package which included a trip the the spa - it was nice that Guy and Craig take care of all of the details for you and you just have to show up! They also offer a GREAT selection for breakfast…everything was so delicious!
We can’t say enough good things about our stay - HIGHLY RECOMMEND staying here!
- I had the pleasure of staying at the Craigleith Manor and it is one of the best experiences I've had at any B&B. The property is beautiful and in a perfect location, close to the ski village, spa and town. Guy was an amazing host and a breakfast chef extraordinaire, made us feel extremely welcomed. Highly recommend staying at this beautiful picturesque spot, a perfect getaway!
- We loved our visit to Craigleith B&B! The home is spotless, very tastefully decorated and located in such a beautiful setting! Breakfasts were freshly prepared and delicious! It was the little touches that made a big difference ! Thank you for making our little getaway relaxing and very enjoyable! We will be back !
- Last week my friend & I stayed at Craigleith Manor and absolutely LOVED our 2 night getaway package, which included a Spa visit & wine tasting…in fact, the B&B was soooo relaxing, that we actually ended up bailing on our wine tasting, so we could instead just chill out in our comfy room 🙂
After 1.5 years of covid restrictions, a stay at this B&B and 3hrs at the Spa were just what the doctor ordered. It was definitely the most relaxed either of us have felt in months, so thank you so much, Guy, you are a perfect host! Your home is beautiful, location is perfect, and did I mention the bed?! So restful. We will definitely be back, and next time for longer! - A very quiet, peaceful pocket of Collingwood. This will be a returning staple in our lives. Guy is a fantastic host and knows plenty of great spots to hit. He also makes an absolutely incredible breakfast, including a new menu every day with a variety of beautiful breakfasts. Clean and quiet rooms. A great view. Very romantic! Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a nice weekend away.

- We stayed in the "Birch suite", which overlooked the b&b's entrance - which was still a gorgeous view of snow covered trees. From the beginning, Guy made us feel super welcome and safe. Masks are mandatory on the main floor, multiple seating areas for guests, socially distanced tables for the complimentary breakfast.
The house, room and guest kitchen were all so clean. The in-room TV came with netflix and other streaming services. The complimentary robes and slippers were very comfy! Made us never want to leave.
Certainly set a high bar for our first B&B Experience! - We truly enjoyed our stay, delicious breakfast at a private table. Comfortable bed, clean room and a great location. Lovely, accommodating hosts who know the area made great recommendations on meals and hiking trails. We would definitely stay at Craigleith Manor Bed & Breakfast again.
- We stayed in the Mountain Suite for two nights with wine tasting package in December for my wife's 60th birthday. What a beautiful house and property. Guy looked after us so well from booking, to answering my questions, welcoming us, feeding us two amazing breakfasts and good conversation. We have no hesitations in recommending this luxury B&B. Guy's restaurant recommendations were a hit too! This B&B also backs onto the Georgian Trail.
- The hospitality of this place exceeded our expectations. The room was the right size for us and all the amities that came with it was great to have. If you forgot something- they had it there for you. The property is well taken care of and having the Georgian Trail right there was fantastic. The house was absolutely beautiful and let's talk about the gourmet breakfasts we enjoyed. We had two different menu's to choose from both mornings. The spa was 5 minutes away and everything else we needed was so close by. It was in a great location. The host Guy and Craig made you feel very comfortable from the moment we walked into their home.
We plan to go to this place next year.
