Experience Sarnia

There is something special about the way the light hits the water where Lake Huron meets the St. Clair River. Here in downtown Sarnia, we live at a slightly slower pace—one governed by the passing of the lakers and the breeze off the water. When you stay with us at the B&B, you’re just a short stroll away from the heart of the city.

Morning Coffee & Slow Brunches

Most of our guests start their day with a walk toward the water. If you’re looking for a great caffeine fix or a quiet corner to read the paper, I always recommend Blackwater Coffee Co. For a more indulgent morning, Cromwell Grill does a fantastic breakfast that will keep you fueled for a day of exploring.

A Stroll Along the Waterfront

You can’t visit Sarnia without spending time at the riverfront. It’s the soul of the city. I suggest walking down toward Centennial Park to watch the massive ships navigate the current heading in and out of Lake Huron and under the Blue Water Bridge. It’s also a great spot to relax before an afternoon of shopping.

Curated Shopping & Local Art

Our downtown isn’t full of big-box stores; it’s a collection of passionate shop owners. If you enjoy hunting for unique finds, spend some time browsing the shelves at Downtown Market. For a dose of culture, the Judith & Norman Alix Art Gallery usually has something beautiful or thought-provoking on display.

Evening Eats & Entertainment

When evening rolls around, the downtown core hums with life. For a casual pint and some great pub food with live entertainment, Ups N’ Downs is a local staple. If you’re looking for a more refined “date night” atmosphere, I’d suggest booking a table at Lola’s Lounge.

After dinner, don’t forget your tickets to the Imperial Theatre—we have a surprisingly vibrant arts scene, and you can catch live music, a play, or a musical just blocks from our front door.
