Wonderful anniversary at the Yellow Door B&B
My boyfriend and I cycled in and stayed for one night. I originally picked a date and then realized that it was the wrong date. I contacted Deirdre and she agreed to change the date but then she had forgotten that she had blocked that new date off for personal reasons but was kind enough to accommodate us for the night anyway. There was a cake waiting for us as I'd mentioned it would be our 2 year dating anniversary. She was kind and helpful throughout our entire stay. We'd mentioned where we were going to eat and she suggested we call ahead since she'd heard the reservations were usually pretty booked up. We stayed in the Penny Farthing room which was clean and cosy. The next morning Deirdre made us a wonderful filling breakfast that was perfect for the second day of our long bike ride. I have nothing but praise for Deirdre and we will certainly be returning in the future.

Great Stay at the Yellow Door Bed and Breakfast
Deirdre is an excellent and we would highly recommend a stay with her at the Yellow Door. Room are spacious and clean and breakfast is tasty. It's great for bicyling and very close to Crystal Beach. We will definitely go again.

Perfect Stay for Cyclists
We arrived soaking wet at the Yellow Door after a day of cycling in the rain and received the warmest welcome you can imagine in this cozy Bed and Breakfast. After drying our shoes and clothes and a shower and cup of tea, we slept well in the comfortable bed. The County Cavan Room is quiet, spacious, clean, and has everything you need. Particularly loved the heated towel rack! We appreciated the safe bicycle shed where we could lock our bikes overnight. The Yellow Door is perfectly located on the Greater Niagara Circle Cycling Route and being able to book a 1 night stay was a plus! Expect a wonderful breakfast to start of a perfect next day of cycling fun. We definitely recommend staying at Deirdre's and would book this B&B again.

Birthday Celebrations
We stayed at Yellow Door for one night to celebrate my birthday at Crystal Beach.
Deirdre is a warm and welcoming host who you can tell really cares about the comfort of her guests. She made special birthday surprises for me in my room, also a cake and flags with birthday wishes in front her place for me. It was so special and I loved each detail.
We loved Deirdre's beautifully-appointed home, the convenient (and quiet) residential location, and the generous hospitality and attentiveness of Deirdre to our every need. And yes, Deidre's breakfasts continue to amaze and delight!
Thank you, Deirdre, for once again making my birthday day to the Crystal beach area a wonderful experience! For sure see you soon.

Excellent B&B in a fun beach
I enjoyed my stay at The Yellow Door. Deidre is a great host and the house in a nice location--easily accessible to Crystal Beach, itself an attractive, small beach resort town. The accommodations are spacious, clean, quiet, and comfortable, and Deidre is a fount of local information and history. Overall, an excellent stay.

This is/should be the model for B&Bs
Deirdre is a wonderful host, who has thought of every detail and lots of extras to boot. Everything is clean and comfortable. Breakfast was beautifully prepared and presented. We were on a week-long road trip, and had stayed in couple of other "B & Bs" in the last week. Staying with Deirdre reminded us of what a REAL B&B is...NOT all hands off and check yourself in/out and have no human interaction.....but interact with someone who enjoys being in this business! It was truly a pleasure for us and we intend to return as much/often as possible. PS and it is such a boon, having the Friendship Trail so close for walking/running/biking.

The Yellow Door B&B is a real find. Our host Deidre is very hospitable, friendly and accommodating. Breakfasts were delicious and I loved that Deidre had GF waffles and bread for me. The B&B is tastefully appointed and well maintained. It is so peaceful sitting and reading on the front porch. We would highly recommend staying here.

Cycle tour stop at Crystal Beach
We had a fantastic stay at the Yellow Door B&B. We were on a cycling tour of the Greater Niagara Cycle Route and stopped for the night at this charming spot in the cool little town of Crystal Beach. The B&B is tucked away in a quiet asneighbourhood a short walk from the town and beach. Dierdre is a fantastic host who ensured we had everything that we needed. She was well set up for cyclists with a shed to lock up your bikes and even some tools and pumps for your bikes. If we were not on a cycling tour, I would have loved to stay longer and enjoy this cool little beach town a little bit more. Will definitely return in the future.

A wonderful stay at The Yellow Door!
Deirdre and The Yellow Door - a highlight in our 3 week road trip! Staying here is truly like being welcomed home. We had the County Cavan room, which had everything we needed and was very comfortable. I think I slept better and longer there than any other place we’ve stayed. Breakfast was bountiful and delicious, accompanied by lively conversation. My husband and I loved every minute and would definitely stay at The Yellow Door if we’re ever in Crystal Beach again. Thank you, Deirdre!

We have returned several times over the years and love staying at Yellow Door! Deirdre is a gracious host. She thinks of everything. This time we were going to a concert in Niagara Falls and she suggested we take the scenic route along the river. Lovely! Delicious breakfast. Warm hospitality. Comfortable and clean room. We booked directly on the website. We will be back!

I was so lucky to find the Yellow Door Bed and Breakfast - staying with Deirdre is like visiting family. Her home is beautiful, so comfortable and spacious and I love the decor. Deirdre was a wizard catering for my dietary requirements and the days started with a good Irish breakfast. I would have no hesitation in recommending staying here - you will meet one amazing lady.

Thanks for the awesome hosting. We really felt like we were staying with family. Rudi said on the way out we should always stay at a b&b from now on....so if there's a higher compliment than a 14 yr old saying that...I'll let you know, but I doubt you'll find one.
All the best and we will visit again some day.

Wonderful stop on the Greater Niagara Cycle Bicycle Route
Deirdre is an absolutely wonderful host and her place, the Yellow Door Bed and Breakfast, is warm and inviting. Our family of 6 stayed there for one night as a stop on the Great Niagara Circle Bicycle Route. After a long tiring day of biking, Deirdre invited us in and gave us mugs of hot cider, pecan tarts, and friendly conversation. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and warm and the breakfast was delicious and filling. I would highly recommend a stay here. I can't say enough how thoughtful Deirdre is, from drinks in the mini fridge in the rooms, to a place to lock up bikes, and so much more. The location is perfect for the cycle route and Crystal Beach is a quaint community. I wish we could have stayed longer.

An overnight stay on our way to see the Welland Canal
Our stay in the County Cavan room was very comfortable, and Deirdre was an excellent hostess who bent over backward to be sure we and her other guests were comfortable, including provision of extra beverages, energy bars, etc. Her Irish heritage is also displayed for all to enjoy. We enjoyed our stay at the Yellow Door as well as the surrounding area and bike trail to Port Colburn. Crystal Beach seems to be enjoying a bit of a rebirth, with considerable building in the area as well as promise of some new restaurants. As mentioned above, The adjacent village of Ridgeway is quite nice and offers good dining and other services.

Although we only spent one night, our stay at the Yellow Door Bed & Breakfast was very nice.
Our host, Deirdre, was very welcoming. We were made to feel right at home. Our our room was clean and comfortable. Deirdre thought of everything we might need, even had a small fridge in our room with some sodas and water.
Breakfast was delicious and prepared us for our busy day at the canal. Deirdre was thoughtful to ask about any dietary need/restrictions.
Should we find ourselves back in the area, we would definitely stay at Yellow Door Bed & Breakfast again.

An Excellent Base in Crystal Beach!
We stayed in the County Cavan room while in town for a family wedding. Deirdre was most welcoming and accommodating. Her home is very well equipped, with beautiful and interesting decor that trends towards an Irish theme and many thoughtful touches throughout.
The Yellow Door B&B is situated in a quiet location that allows for an undisturbed night's sleep. Our bed was very comfortable. Breakfasts were a creative, tasty and nourishing start to our days. In general, Yellow Door exceeded our expectations!

What a wonderful stay at the Yellow Door BnB. From the moment we walked in we were made to feel very welcome by our wonderful host Deirdre.
The accommodation was excellent and the breakfast was delicious. Located ideally about a 15 min walk from the beach, with many delicious options to dine out on. Bonus was all the live music going on as well. All in all a nice reset over the weekend with the benefit of a good swim in the beautiful Crystal Beach.
Thank you Deirdre!

Deirdre’s the Best and so is The Yellow Door Bed and Breakfast
A winner in every way! We loved spending time with Deirdre at the Yellow Door B & B. Deirdre is a gem and a superb host! Thanks for your hospitality, thoughtfulness and great stories. Breakfasts were amazing, the location is perfect and the Cavan room was comfortable and spacious. It was also such a relief to have a safe place to store our bikes in. Deirdre you really think of everything ! We came as guests & left as friends. We can’t wait to come back.

The perfect Bed and Breakfast for our bike trip
My friend and I stayed in the County Cavan room as part of a bike ride around the Niagara region. It was perfect for us! The bed was comfy, the room was air conditioned, it was very quiet, and Deirdre is such a wonderful host! We were immediately made to feel welcomed. Greeted by apple cider upon arrival! And it’s within walking distance to all of the downtown shops and restaurants and the beach, so we left our bikes in the safe bike shed. We liked looking at all the lovely houses in the neighbourhood. Breakfast was great and filling and we got a couple of snacks for our ride the next day! We really enjoyed staying here. Many thanks to Deirdre!

Top Notch B&B
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Yellow Door and Deirdre was the perfect host. We stayed here while cycling from Niagara on the Lake to Crystal Beach, Welland and back to Niagara on the Lake. Check in was a breeze. Our room was very clean and quiet and the bed was comfy (and we are fussy bed people!). We enjoyed the touch of Ireland throughout the B&B and Deirdre's stories of Ireland. Deirdre really goes out of her way to accommodate the needs of cyclists, from a secure bike lock up to an early morning breakfast before we hit the trail. She even sent us off with a snack and drink for our day on the trail. We would definitely stay here again if we find ourselves in the Crystal Beach area.

Amazing B&B
Two of us stayed at Yellow Door for one night during our two day bike trip along Welland Canal, Friendship trail and Niagara Parkway.
The stay ended up being one of the highlights of our trip!
The property was excellently maintained. We stayed at a room with shared bathroom which was spotlessly clean. There was also a shed to keep our bikes.
We really loved the breakfast which was very tasty, filling (for us it was egg croissant sandwich, fruit, granola parfait, orange juice, Irish tea/coffee etc!) and gave us lots of energy to start cycling for the day.
The room itself was really comfortable as well. We were really exhausted from a day of cycling when we arrived at the place, but were very refreshed in the morning to go on another day of riding.
Lastly, everyone already mentions in their reviews, but Deirdre is just an excellent host!
Our only regret was that we didn't stay there longer to spend more time at the B&B itself. We will be sure to come back again!

Excellent B and B
Deirdre is a warm friendly helpful host . Her home is very comfortable and a lovely place to take a break during a trip and especially during a bike tour. There is a secure lockup for bikes and she goes the extra mile by sending cyclists off in the morning with juice and granola bars, a really nice gesture. We loved sitting on the front porch after a long ride, relaxing and chatting with other guests. The restaurants are a short distance away which makes for an enjoyable evening stroll. Thank you, Deirdre!

Time away with the wife...
Tracy Hale and I stayed with Deirdre at the Yellow Door Bed and Breakfast. What a wonderful spot, spacious room, king sized bed, with a living area and en-suite. Tracy and I enjoyed a glass of wine on the front porch before our consort at the sanctuary in Ridgeway. We woke up to a wonderful breakfast followed by a walk on the beach. Deirdre is a thoughtful and giving host.
Thank you Deirdre!

Very comfortable during peak iris blooming time in Crystal Beach
"We haven't stayed at the Yellow Door since Deirdre was at the previous location - the new house is a treasure. The County Cavan room is beautifully appointed and quiet, and the public areas of the house are lovely. Our bed was incredibly comfortable, and the breakfasts were, as usual, delicious. Deirdre set us up with a kettle, tea, and milk for the evenings, and we definitely enjoyed that while hanging out in the backyard. She helped us plan a day hike along the Bruce Trail (and set us up with directions, water and snacks, too!)
We also enjoyed the Crystal Beach restaurants (we went to South Coast twice in five days) and Ice Cream Alley in Ridgeway was an easy walk in the evenings. Since Deirdre had a local cycling map handy in the room, I've already started to think about coming back. Given how beautiful the flowers were when we visited, it'll probably be at the same time of year."

An excellent stay at the Yellow Door B&B. We stayed in The County Cavan Room which was large, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. Deirdre was an amazing hostess, very welcoming and made us feel at home. She left us cake, a selection of rich chocolates, and complimentary drinks. Breakfast of fruit crepes, Irish tea, and yogurt parfait was delicious. 10/10, would stay again!
A marvellous B and B. Clean, warm and welcoming and excellent for folks travelling around on bicycles. Deidre is an amazing host and went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Couldn’t recommend more highly. Will definitely be back!

Our Canadian Getaway!
We received such a warm welcome from Deirdre when we unexpectedly called to see if we could get a room for the night. We have stayed there a number of times before Covid when we came to visit our daughter, who lives fairly close. We love staying there because it is just a wonderful "get-away" for us and a real treat! Everything is so cozy and inviting and we love catching up with Deirdre. She remembers everything about us - even after more than 2 years! Her place is immaculate and she makes a delicious breakfast that suits our dietary needs! We are so happy someone recommended it to us. It is a special place to stay and feels like we are visiting part of the family!

Only one regret - we should have stayed more nights!
This B&B is oozing with charm - every room is unique and very well-appointed. Superbly clean and comfortable rooms, and on a quiet residential street a few minutes from Crystal Beach and restaurants. Deirdre was simply a fab host and really enjoyed her hospitality! We only stayed one night as part of a cycling circuit - wished we could have stayed a few more nights!

Lovely Stay
Deirdre provided a lovely stay at the Yellow Door. Prompt host check-in, fabulous and welcoming ambiance, excellent room and bathroom state of cleanliness, and stocked mini-fridge. And a hot breakfast spread that girded us up for a full day of golf and cycling (for the latter, it's under 500 meters from the start of the Friendship Trail and the Greater Niagara Circle Route). Very happy to have followed the recommendation of The Niagara Cycling Tourism Centre to this gem of a BnB.

Our stay at Yellow Door B&B was an amazing experience. If you are looking for a nice quite location, this B&B is a right place for you. We stayed at The Paws and Feathers Room and quite enjoyed it. Clean, nicely decorated and looking into the quiet backyard. Not far away from the beach if you don't mind walking and lot of restaurants in the area for lunch or dinner. Deirdre was a great hostess and she made our overall experience even better. We highly recommend this place for staying.

A True Gem
Deirdre is without a doubt one of the best hosts we have stayed with! Every small detail is attended to, our room was large and very comfortable (County Cavan) and the perfect place to retire to after taking advantage of riding our bikes on the Friendship Trail just a bit up the road from the B&B. We were also happy there was a secure spot to store our bikes for the night. This won't be our last trip to this lovely spot!

Best of all were the stories Deirdre shared with us. We hope to make a return visit in the future.

Wonderful Getaway in Crystal Beach
Our 5 days with Deirdre were a highlight of our recent trip to the Niagara area. With beautiful Crystal Beach minutes away, and Niagara Falls, Niagara on the Lake and the Niagara scenic parkway nearby, we had lots to enjoy each day. Deidre is a fantastic host, and her breakfast creations were something we looked forward to every morning. Very comfortable guest accommodations, in a beautiful home in a lovely setting - we truly were tucked into paradise for 5 days. Thank you, Deirdre for your hospitality and kindness..

This was our second time staying at the Yellow Door and it won't be the last. We sort of feel like family actually and that's because Deidre is the absolute best. You won't have a more welcoming, sincere, and giving hostess than her full stop. The house is gorgeous, the breakfast is fresh and amazing (be sure to tell her what you like - she's flexible!). Beautiful gardens surround the house and you'll sleep like a baby. The property is close to Crystal Beach's Erie Rd, as well as Ridgeway's business area (both walkable). We are going to be booking again for this coming Christmas. We live locally - it's our getaway 20 minutes away.

Another great getaway at the Yellow Door B&B
This was our second visit and definitely not the last. Our host Deirdre was amazing, she put up a banner for my wife's Birthday and even bought her a cake and a lovely gift. The home is beautiful and the 3 breakfast's were delicious. Deirdre is very knowledgeable about Crystal Beach and the surrounding area. We enjoyed her company so much that we took her out to dinner with us on night. The weather wasn't very good but the screened in gazebo out back was a great place to hang out. She has also added a new fire pit out back, but because of the rain we did not get a chance to use it, will definitely use it next visit if weather permits. We would love to thank Deirdre for making this our new home away from home. You will be glad you chose the Yellow Door B&B for your next getaway. Also the beach and town are a great place to spend the day.

A spotless, quiet, warm environment
Deidre, our hostess, welcomed us before we even arrived, patiently responding to our questions. She was very accommodating to all our needs. Our bedroom was spacious and very comfortable, and our towels were changed each of the 6 nights that we stayed with her.
It is situated in a very quiet area in town which helped us have a good night sleep.
Breakfasts were varied, very tasty and filling! Deidre made an effort to address out food needs and tastes.
Especially enjoyed were some early morning quiet time in her gazebo in her lovely garden.
I would readily stay here again when in the Niagara region.

Charming B&B for a "Home Away from Home" Experience
My mom, sister, and I stayed at the Yellow Door Bed and Breakfast for a two-night staycation. It is so much more than your typical B&B. What I must mention first is that Deirdre is an exceptional host. Her warmth, friendliness, and enthusiasm make you feel like you are truly valued guests inside her home, rather than at an establishment. The atmosphere is always open and inviting, no matter the length of your stay. Deirdre is extremely accommodating, going above and beyond to ensure her guests are comfortable. She remembered little details about our preferences and was understanding of my dietary restrictions, both of which are very much appreciated. The daily breakfast was always delicious. Her work ethic and determination did not go unnoticed. We stayed in the County Cavan room, which is quite spacious and has a homey feel to it after a busy day out. The décor fits the theme very well and brings a smile to your face. In fact, the entire house is personalized with details and history that add more depth and meaning to your stay. Everything is clean, well-kept, and the COVID rules are taken seriously to ensure every visitor’s safety. Be sure to check out the gazebo and beautiful garden! I must also add that Milo is an adorable dog. Next, the location is definitely a walkable distance to the beach. However, if you are bringing a lot of items, I would recommend driving there – Deirdre kindly provides beach passes. There are also many local restaurants to choose from and unique shops to visit, again, all within walking distance. Whatever your preferences and interests, the Yellow Door is conveniently located to meet them while still being in a calm, quiet part of the neighbourhood. Overall, this visit has exceeded my expectations and has set a new standard for B&Bs. I would certainly recommend staying here as you explore all Crystal Beach has to offer. I hope to book here again sometime in the future. It is key to know that the Yellow Door Bed and Breakfast is not just a place you stay at in Crystal Beach; it is part of the Crystal Beach experience.

The Yellow Door was very impressive!
A group of 6 of us bikers (bicycles) rented all three rooms in the yellow door. Four of the six of us had been here last time and highly recommended we stay there , it was our first time this year ever to a bed and breakfast . We were pleasantly surprised. The owner Deidra makes you feel welcome from the moment you book on the phone to the personalized welcome sign in your room. The yellow door is just a short ride off the friendship bike trail and in the middle of the beach and so many cool restaurants. In the morning Diedra made the most delicious breakfast with a yogurt parfait to start. Our group had our own space in the enclosed gazebo for cards the night before as well which was perfect. Diedra sent us off after breakfast with granola/protein bars and juice for the road! We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend.

Deirdre was such a welcoming host and had little touches that made all the difference!

The breakfast was delicious and filling and again the thoughtful touches...protein bars to take with us as well as water canteens. Thanks so much Deirdre!!

Incredible B&B
Deirdre’s place is incredible and her hospitality is great. Easy and fast communication prior to check-in. I stayed in the Paws and Feathers Room and it was so comfortable and lovely; the mini fridge, small bistro table and tv with Netflix were very convenient. Everything was very clean! Breakfast was very tasty and full of different options. Deirdre is such an impressive host. I highly recommend staying with her. Side notes: The wifi worked great. There was plenty of hot water. The b&b is located about a 15min walk to the main beach (Bay Beach) and restaurants/bars.

Yellow Door B&B is Amazing
First things first, a big shout out to our fabulous host Deirdre who made sure that we had an unforgettable experience on our getaway. The accommodations and property we nothing but fabulous very clean and well kept. Breakfast each morning was delicious. Deirdre supplied us with passes to go to the beach as it is only residents access while the pandemic is in effect. Deirdre supplied us with beach chairs as we did not bring any. We loved spending time talking with Deirdre while at the B&B all the while practicing social distancing and wearing masks. Deridre recommended plenty of things to do and some very good restaurants which we tried. You will not be disappointed if you book 2 nights or even a longer stay. We will definitely be back soon.
Again I would really like to thank our host Deirdre for making our time in Crystal Beach an great experience.

Second night of our cycling trip
My husband and I recently went on a big trip around the Greater Niagara Circle Route. On our second night, we stayed at the Yellow Door with Deirdre. Deirdre is like the cool aunt you never knew was missing in your life! She knew we were travelling for our wedding anniversary, so when we arrived there was fun confetti and a chocolate cake waiting for us in our room. She is so friendly and thoughtful, it's extremely obvious why she has so many repeat customers. Our room (Paws and Feathers) was extremely comfortable and cozy, and the bathroom was spotless. Deirdre is taking COVID precautions very seriously, so we felt completely safe and secure while staying there.
Deirdre fed us a delicious and filling breakfast in the morning, and then sent us on our way with snacks and drinks. She knows how to take care of her cyclists. :) Watch out - if you stay here, you won't want to leave!
Thank you for taking care of us, Deirdre!
P.S. When you arrive, make sure you knock strongly - we are timid knockers and the house is pretty big, so Deirdre didn't hear us at first.

We visited the Crystal Beach in August and enjoyed every minute of our stay at the Yellow Door Bed and Breakfast!
The owner is very welcoming and caring! The place is very clean and spacious. Breakfast was very tasty and was made and served with love!

Our Third Visit
Deirdre has created a calm oasis of comfort for travelers to the Niagara area in her new location. My partner and I recently spent 5 nites with Deidre, using it as a base for our day trips to Wainfleet, Niagara Falls, Niagara-on-the-Lake, and of course the amazingly beautiful Crystal Beach area itself. We loved Deirdre's beautifully-appointed home, the convenient (and quiet) residential location, and the generous hospitality and attentiveness of Deirdre to our every need. Deirdre paid special attention to covid-related health and safety measures for all guests - we very much appreciated her practical and logic-based process in this regard. And yes, Deidre's breakfasts continue to amaze and delight! Thank you, Deirdre, for once again making our vacation to the Niagara area a wonderful experience!

A lovely visit to the Yellow Door Inn
We managed to get a room at Yellow Door for a last minute bike trip to Niagara the other weekend. We found this place off of the cycle stay Niagara site, which is a wonderful network of BnBs on the Niagara / Welland Loop.
The booking process was painless and very quick. Deirdre is exceptionally helpful and accommodating, and any dumb questions we had were always cheerfully answered over the phone.
Yellow Door was the highlight of our trip! The place is beautiful, very close to the bike trail, but also to restaurants and the beach. The room was large, air conditioned, and the bed was super comfortable. As a host, Deirdre rolled out all the stops, breakfast in the morning was a fantastic fuelling for our ride.
For dog lovers, Deirdre’s pooch Milo is an absolute gem! A lovely, sweet rescue dog that looks like a cheetah! We had so much joy playing with him, and can’t wait to see him again!
For those that may not be comfortable with dogs, don’t worry. Deirdre manages his access to shared areas; he’s never in the rooms, which are completely free of dog hair (for those with allergies).
We can’t wait to come back, and hope others will come to enjoy this gem on the Niagara trail!

Great Stay!
What a Great place to stay! Deirdre, our hostess, was very welcoming. Very knowledgable regarding the area, she gave us excellent recommandations, for example about restaurants. Moreover, this property is VERY CLEAN, and we can feel good vibes, probably due to the nice decorations and the harmony inside the house. Don’t forget to enjoy the garden yard; it’s a very relaxing place, that may give you the opportunity to taste the famous Niagara wine! I strongly recommand a stay at Yellow Door B&B.

Amazing Experience!
My partner and I stayed here at the end of July for a couple nights and we were blown away by how wonderful our experience was. The place was immaculate, nicely decorated, and had personal touches to make us feel welcomed from the start. Deirdre was beyond helpful and considerate to our needs. Also, for those worrying about social distancing and proper Covid-19 protocol- There was another group staying in her lower level unit while we were there, and Deirdre did an amazing job ensuring that everyone’s space was completely separate to avoid any form of contact. We had designated spots and (flexible) times in the common area. Overall, our experience surpassed our expectations and I highly recommend this place.

Our First Trip Post Corona
We are a group of four friends who like to book cycling trips in Ontario/Quebec over a few days each year. This year our interests took us to the Niagara Loop starting in St.Catherines down the Welland Canal Trail, across the Friendship Trail to Fort Erie and back up to Niagara-on-the-Lake along the Niagara River. Feeling ambitious we only booked one overnight stay in Crystal Beach with Yellow Door. And we could not have picked a more bicylcing-friendly place. Yellow Door was not voted #1 place to stay by Bike Ontario by chance: Deirdre is a superb host and took our stay beyond our expectations - Switching days for us as thunderstorms were rolling in on our first biking day, making dinner reservations as not all restaurants were open post-CoVid, providing cold drinks and water, and sharing her beautiful home and garden. Masks and hand santitizer were all provided and since we were the only guests and her first after the shut down, we had no concerns. We enjoyed our stay very much and the Whole Trip is worth repeating one day.

Recent visit of Crystal Beach area...
Last week (Wednesday night Feb 26) I found myself in the "Niagara" area/late meeting...on a brutally stormy night. Reluctant to drive back to GTA .
Came across this gem! Gale storm winds outside, however the coziness and warmth of this Cape Cod'er; made for the best option possible, "shop local".. Stayed at THE YELLOW DOOR in Crystal Beach... Hostess Deirdre recommended a local Mexican eatery CASA HUGO. Had an great dinner with some local's.
Felt like I was on a mini vacation.
B & B s like THE YELLOW DOOR, off season, is my new find!

Great Staycation and Loved Every Second!
My fiance and I spent two nights in the Country Cavan room. We had such a wonderful time staying at Deirdres place. She was so welcoming and accommodating to us. We were very comfortable in the room we were staying. It was very spacious and she even went above and beyond to provide small toiletries in case we had forgotten anything. She was very knowledgeable about what is around town for us to do. We took her recommendation of going to the shops in Ridgeway which we really enjoyed! Overall it was a terrific experience and I would highly recommend it to friends, couples, and families!

Worthy of a second visit!
We enjoyed our 2nd visit to Dierdre’s gracious Yellow Door B & B in Crystal Beach, Ontario. This visit was every bit as relaxing and enjoyable as the first: lovely, welcoming, and comfortable décor [Yes! Comfy beds!], spirited, informed conversation, and, as always, the most delicious of breakfasts! As a long-time gluten-free, pescatarian [fish, no meats], I very much appreciate her unruffled ability to graciously cater to her guest’s individual food requirements and desires – as does my foody, omnivore husband! All accomplished in what appears as an effortless extension of her gracious and welcoming personality.
Her property's location near biking, beaches, and wonderful restaurants [did I mention the spas?] makes this a perfect vacation get-away.
Thank you Dierdre! We’re looking forward to visiting again next year!

Bicycle Holiday
After a day of bike riding up the Welland Canal and across to Crystal Beach we received a warm welcome from our host at the Yellow Door Bed and Breakfast.
We were given an upgrade into a suite that provided us with all the refreshments we needed. The care and attention to detail was much appreciated. Our host had thought of everything.
Deirdre was so helpful, making suggestions for our evenings entertainment and then in the morning provided a full breakfast in her delightful garden. She sent us our way, generously, with snacks and treats for our return journey.
Our stay was more than we had expected and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this lovely B&B to anyone. We will be back but this time we will likely drive, though our bike ride was wonderful.
Thank you Deirdre!

My boyfriend and I stayed at Yellow Door B&B during our trip to Crystal Beach. Deirdre was very kind and welcomed us with open arms and a smile on her face. It was our first time going to Crystal Beach, and Deirdre was very helpful when it came to different suggestions on places to see and things to do. We would highly recommend Yellow Door B&B to anyone no matter how long you’re looking to stay.

Such A Fun, Enjoyable Late Winter Visit
We had a wonderful return visit at the end of March to the Yellow Door - we spent four days enjoying walks along the canal, visiting antique shops in the area, and eating delicious food at a number of local restaurants (as well as for breakfast at the Yellow Door! The waffles were fantastic.) I even found birthday gifts for two of my difficult-to-buy-for relatives. Deirdre had recommendations for a number of local museums but we were having too much fun exploring Ridgeway, Port Colborne, and Crystal Beach. We'll have to try the butterfly conservatory next time! I particularly enjoyed the hot apple cider that Deirdre offered when we came in from the outdoors, and we had a lot of fun chatting with her over cider or breakfast. She even sent us on our way to the airport with muffins to eat on the plane. :) As with our last visit, the Poppy Suite was comfortable, quiet, and relaxing with thoughtful touches and all the amenities. We look forward to staying here again the next time we're in town!

So Wonderful and Relaxing
I loved my stay here! I was looking for a place to reflect and reminisce on my life and get off the grid for a few days and from the moment I arrived and Deirdre welcomed me with a glass of hot apple cider and cinnamon, I knew this was the perfect spot. I enjoyed my chats with Deirdre over her amazing breakfasts while her kitty, Ginger, lazed nearby. I had all the alone time that I wanted but Deirdre was available if I needed anything. The Poppy Suite is beautiful, more like an apartment with a bedroom, separate living room and a huge bathroom. The Yellow Door was my home base while I went out to discover the natural beauty nearby and explore the area including watching the sunset at Point Abino, the frozen waves in Lake Erie, the winter surfers at the Crystal Beach waterfront, walking the Friendship Trail, shopping in downtown Ridgeway and remembering the fun times I spent at Crystal Beach Amusement Park as a child. If there is one thing in particular that I will take away from my stay here, it is to Live in the Moment! It was everything I hoped it would be and more. Can't wait to come back.

My wife and I recently spent 5 days with Deirdre and Ginger the cat at this charming Crystal Beach b & b. We had a fantastically wonderful time - Deirdre was an exceptional host, and treated us as close and dear friends. We appreciated her thoughtfulfulness and attention to detail, her very beautiful and well organized home and our splendid breakfasts on her outdoor garden patio, surrounded by beautiful plants and flowers. And just a few mins walk from the beach - what a wonderful relaxing stay we had with Deirdre and Ginger! Thnks kindly, Deirdre - we appreciate your hospitality and care for us very, very much!

Our Honeymoon 💜
Deidre is an amazing host! She was very responsive to all of my emails and was able to arrange a spa day for us at the local Chakra Spa. It was awesome. She was so welcoming along with her cat Ginger by her side. Our room, County Cavan was beautifully decorated and had Netflix!! There was a gift bag on our bed with some wonderful wedding gifts in it..mso amazing and generous. She told us of all the local retail shops that were a must to visit and all the cool local events that were happening. She even offered us some beach gear! It was so great.
Thanks for making our mini honeymoon special!
We will be back.

5th Year Wedding Anniversary
Omg where do I begin. Deidre and this B&B exceeded our expectations. We were met with a happy anniversary flag in the front and a balloon. Deidre is an amazing host who is kind, caring and a wealth of information. The accommodation/ambiance was clean, private and perfect. She adds extras to make it even more special. Ginger her cat will love on you. The breakfasts were excellent and her back porch is sweet. We attended art in the park and crystal beach. We ate at the The Crystal Chandelier both nights. They had nightly entertainment. We will definitely will be back and appreciate you Deidre! Thanks again for making us feel special.

The Art of Welcoming People
Our anniversary trip was excellent largely due to this well thought through clean and comfortable accomodation.
For the beach the owner prepared a beautiful beach bag, towels, mats to lay on, water bottles, soft drinks, pop corn, plastic plates, and cutlery.
The washroom is beautiful with a full set of washing and shaving items, and all kinds of additional items you never get in a hotel, like cologne and perfume, elastics and hair pins, contact lens care items, full manicure set new, packed quality toothbrush set with floss and toothpicks, etc.
The food and drinks are great and adjusted to each guest. I am vegan and my partner not. We each got our full satisfaction. Things like almond milk and buckweed waffles, fresh fruits - the owner went out of her way to satisfy our every need. This goes for all aspects of our stay.
In our suite we got free coffee, tea variety set, pop corn, cutlery for our own food, mini fridge, soft drinks, cups and glasses, free WiFi, flat screen TV, fire place, and big walk in closet.
There are tons of pillows and blankets to choose from, heater, cosy heated blanket, and candlelight lamps.
Breakfast is served in a beautiful garden with patio, soft cushion chairs, and modern rotating sun shade umbrella. Blooming flowers and green trees create complete privacy. The sun gently peeks through the trees and it is peaceful and fun to eat there or just sit during the day, meditate, read, whatever.
I didn't like that we stayed in a basement and there was no body lotion. All else was great.
The living room area has a table to sit and eat and plenty of room to work out or dance.
Beautiful artworks and welcome signs, matching decor everywhere, and tons of details make it seem like a five star hotel.

Perfect Get Away
My partner and I stayed at the Yellow Door for three nights last week and I can honestly say that it was our best B&B experience ever. We have stayed at many B&B’s and several have been very nice but Yellow Door is far and away the best we have ever stayed at. The bedroom and living room are separate areas allowing sleep and reading or TV at the same time. A fridge, microwave and kettle allowed drinks and snacks at the in-room table and chairs.
Deirdre is a wealth of information about the surrounding area and a staunch supporter of local businesses and artists. We took her advice regarding the local movie theatre and the rock band at the Sanctuary in Ridgeway. Deirdre was so enthusiastic about the Concert for Peace that we bought tickets and are returning for the Labour Day weekend event.
We can’t say enough good things about Deirdre and what a great hostess she is. We are looking forward to returning and seeing her therapy cat Ginger. We felt that we were staying at a friends house and it was a very enjoyable experience. Breakfast on the deck was like being in a quiet peaceful park. It is not a coincidence that all the reviews are positive.

Thoughtful Details and Helpful Host
My boyfriend and I booked a trip to Crystal Beach for our two year anniversary to enjoy the summer sunshine and reminisce on our childhoods at this wonderful beach and cute area. While we were only there for one day, Deirdre made us feel so comfortable and welcome instantly! All of the decor is matched thoughtfully, and you can clearly see that Deirdre has thought of all the details; printed out notes instruct you how to work the TV and peruse Netflix, complementary tea, coffee, popcorn, and chocolates made our movie night later so nice and relaxing. She even puts extra toiletry items in the restroom if you happen to forget yours at home (contact lens solution, unopened toothbrush, etc). Also, I happened to leave a sentimental shirt at the room by accident and since we couldn't go back to get it, Deirdre and I exchanged emails that day to arrange how we could get it back! I'm so grateful to have such a hands on and thoughtful host. There were little balloons with "Happy Anniversary" to greet us when we went into our room, and she even got little cheese danishes the next morning to go with the delicious breakfast spread that she made! So glad we were able to revisit our old childhood haunts and have such a great host and place to be at Crystal Beach! Will definitely book again if the opportunity arises!! (ALSO we loved the house cat, Ginger! So affectionate and sweet!)

I stayed at the Yellow Door B&B in Crystal Beach last weekend. Deirdre is friendly and knowledgeable and takes great pride in her home and her role of hostess. She thought nothing of offering to drive me to and from the event I was attending (I declined).
The best touch was her polite insistence that my friend (staying at a nearby cottage) come in the morning to enjoy the gourmet breakfast she served in her tranquil backyard oasis. Nice touch! Delightful.

My husband and I stayed at the Yellow Door B&B this past weekend and can't say enough good things about our experience! Deirdre has an amazing gift for creating a beautiful oasis that is warm and relaxing with lots of special touches. The moment we arrived we were treated like special guests. She even had balloons and an anniversary message to help us celebrate! Her place is immaculate and beautifully decorated. The shaded outdoor setting on her deck for our morning breakfast was picture perfect - with flowers all around and even singing birds to enjoy. The huge plate of delicious food was amazing! We thoroughly enjoyed everything about our stay and can't wait to return! Thanks, Deirdre! You were a perfect hostess and made our stay a special memory!

We needed a half way stop for our Niagara circle cycling route, and wanted to check out the Crystal beach area. The Yellow Door was a lovely spot- we had our own suite, with a huge flat screen in the private cozy living room off the master bedroom. Deidre was an excellent host, providing us with a ride to our dinner spot, and picked us up after walking down to the beach. She provided a delicious breakfast, even accommodating my coffee order! We loved her cat Ginger who has real personality!
We would not hesitate to stay here again!

Super hosting/attention to detail
We recently wanted to have an overnight getaway in Crystal Beach for our anniversary. We decided to book a bed and breakfast and had a great stay at the Yellow Door. We were welcomed with personal "happy anniversary" messages all the way into the very clean and homey, exclusively private lower level suite (furnished with new and modern finishes and the well thought out attention to detail as expected in a good B&B). Discovered I forgot my toothbrush, no worries because there was a supply of "necessities" available in the bathroom "just in case". Plus, the hostess definitely had the "most"-ess, and it made all the difference. In our bar fridge was a special anniversary dessert for us to enjoy upon arrival. Deidre was a kind, friendly and knowledgeable local, who was very conscious of your privacy. Breakfast was fantastic as well. Over and above our starter of a yogurt and granola parfait and the 'main' of an egg & vegetable stuffed croissant with a side of fruit, we were offered a variety of cereals & juices and unlimited [good] coffee. All of this was set for us outside on the deck to enjoy the beautiful spring ambiance (complete with birds and squirrels). It made for the memorable stress relieving getaway we needed.

One Night at Yellow Door Isn't Enough
Our experience at Yellow Door B&B was not good…….it was AMAZING! We had an important appointment in Fort Erie and, rather than driving from Toronto and back the same day, we decided to arrive the day before, stay overnight and check out the area. We chose Yellow Door B&B in nearby Crystal Beach, based solely on the website. We couldn’t have made a better choice. The property is in a quiet residential neighbourhood and the owner, Deirdre, was delightful – friendly and accommodating. The guest suite is large, inviting, very clean and comfortable. Everything you could possibly want, and more, is provided. (One of us is allergic to cats but had no problem at all, as the lovely old Ginger does not go into the guest suite – but she is available for some lovin’ if you wish.) We thoroughly enjoyed our (short) stay and will hopefully stay again. One further thing we feel is noteworthy: The morning we were to leave, Deirdre was just about to put the coffee on when the whole of Crystal Beach experienced a power outage – luckily it lasted less than an hour. Deirdre actually offered to go to Tim’s for us! We declined her kind offer and elected to wait. A short while later, just prior to the power coming back on, Deirdre had hauled out a small generator that she was ready to use, but thankfully the power returned. We thought this worth mentioning to show a host so willing to go above and beyond to look after her guests! You rock, Deirdre!

The Yellow Door - the definition of Perfect!
My sister purchased a gift certificate for me for Christmas for a stay at the Yellow Door B&B in Crystal Beach. Ontario. When I arrived at the Yellow Door on Good Friday 2018, I fell in love right away. The door was a beautiful yellow (my favorite color) and the entrance was decorated for Easter. It was stunning. Deirdre welcomed me warmly and showed me the suite where I would stay. Very charming! Lots of bright colors and everything a person would need to have an enjoyable stay. The bed and linens were exceptional. It was great to have a smart TV to keep up with the news and my favorite programs. Breakfasts were delicious and switched up each day. A chocolate bunny greeted me for breakfast on Easter Sunday morning! WOW! I met sweet kitty Ginger and she was a delight! Deirdre gave great tips on where to go and where to eat and my sister, her husband and I checked out many. Crystal Beach is a lovely place to visit and relax away from the go go go of everyday life in bigger cities. I would recommend the Yellow Door to everyone. I know I will be returning very soon.
Thank you Deirdre!

We were excited to return to Yellow Door B and B for a second stay, and we combined it with a trip to IKEA in Burlington, since we don't have one near us. We were again warmly welcomed by Deirdre, and she made us feel right at home. Deirdre thinks of everything for her guests. She even remembered what kind of tea I like to drink. The accommodations are comfortable, charming,and immaculate. We enjoyed the living room in the suite. It was great to wind down, watch Netflix, and have some tea and chocolate. Love the bowl of chocolates on the table! Deirdre is a wonderful host!

The Yellow Door B&B was one of the single best places I've stayed at. Many hotels in the past haven't matched up to how welcoming and warm the home and host are. It was an absolutely incredible experience. One night was definitely not enough for me.
I will be returning. The welcome hot chocolate, the friendliness of the host, the sparkling conversation, and the wonderful atmosphere (not to mention the one and only Ginger, the resident feline) all made for an unforgettable stay.
Ignore any bad reviews on Google - they're obvious scammers. This bed and breakfast is one of a kind. If you're ever in Crystal Beach or the Niagara Area, I can't recommend this one enough!

"A wonderful experience"
We had such a lovely time staying with Deirdre and Ginger. Deirdre made excellent breakfasts each morning, and she was very attentive to both allergies and preferences. Her recommendations for places to eat our other meals were spot on. She’s very plugged into the community and she was a valuable resource for both this trip and planning future visits. The basement suite is beautifully kept and very private. Deirdre pays attention to the small, important details - the linens on the bed, the bath towels, the chocolate by the television, water in the mini fridge, and the supply of pillows. The shower was fantastic. One of the things that I really appreciated was how the driveway was always impeccable. No matter the weather, we never had to worry about the driveway being snowy or slippery. That I got to snuggle with her cat Ginger every day was a treat - and there already were so many lovely things about staying at the Yellow Door. We will absolutely come to stay again.

"Absolutely Incredible!"
The Yellow Door B and B is probably the most hospitable, welcoming, cozy, incredible bed and breakfast I've ever stayed at. Environment - 10/10 The basement suite was beautiful. Spacious sitting room, gorgeous bathroom, and the host had EVERYTHING fully stocked. The bed was comfortable, full of soft pillows, and a strange projection desk clock that fascinated my nerdy side. Bits and pieces - 10/10 Free WiFi, a huge flat screen TV for Netflix, a fridge with pop and water, free coffee, tea, and breakfast, and even some popcorn on the side made for an incredible stay. The host - 11/10 Deirdre is incredible. We recommend having a conversation with her about her fascinating life. She's the definition of a good soul. We miss you already, Deirdre! Location - 10/10 Located in the "happening" part of crystal beach, the restaurants and bars are a short walk away. You can also find the beach and caves a while down the road on foot. Perfect for backpackers. Return trip? HELL YES. This little B&B stole my heart. I'm absolutely in love and can't recommend this enough. Don't worry about anything outside - the second you enter The Yellow Door, I swear you won't want to step out again.

Blown away by the hospitality, decor and charm of this lovely B&B! It’s a must for anyone travelling through or in Fort Erie/Crystal Beach. Deirdre is warm and her cat Ginger adds the sweetest touch! Deirdre went above and beyond to ensure we were taken cared of - I only wish we could’ve stayed another night! I cannot recommend Deirdre and the Yellow Door enough to any traveller looking for a home away from home!

We had a wonderful relaxing time in Crystal Beach. Our hostess, Deirdre, went out our her way to make our stay comfortable and help us with local activity arrangements. We were there in the "off" season but enjoyed wonderful weather.

Lovely "B&B”
Stayed at the Yellow Door B&B for 3 wonderful nights. Deirdre is such a wonderful host who does everything to make your stay a remarkable one. She has a lot of very good tips for dinner and trips in the area and she even got me a ticket to join a nice little concert in the neighborhood.
The accommodation is lovely as well. You will find your very own little flat in Deirdres house with a very tasty interior. The breakfast was fantastic as well and is prepared by Deirdre herself.
All in all I can totally recommend this sweet little B&B if you like to stay in the area!

Charming host, relaxing ambience
A welcoming, peaceful oasis! Deidre has created a lovely and gracious Bed and Breakfast experience on a quiet street in Crystal Beach. She is a charming, well-spoken, and well-traveled soul who ushered us into her lovely home, gently and warmly receiving us, like much-anticipated guests arriving for a visit. The rooms are well-appointed; our every need anticipated in advance. The pictures do not do justice to the comfortable surroundings, and the eclectic mix of elegant and quirky décor. And breakfast! Deidre inquired as to our preferences and dietary requirements in advance and went above and beyond to create meals to suit us. Croissants! Even gluten-free [crispy, light, delicious] croissants! Fresh fruits, poached eggs, choices of cereals, juices, yogurt, quiches, and either vegetarian or omnivore sides....and great coffee, made to order......wish she was making our breakfast every day! She even gave us fruit, snacks [gluten-free for me], and bottled water to take on our ride on the Erie bike trail! Next time we visit family in Crystal beach we will most definitely take a couple of days to stay at the Yellow Door. Thank you Deidre for a memorable and really enjoyable visit!

Home was as pictured
Deirdre's home was as pictured - lovely, attention to every comfort, spacious and spotless. She also served us a wonderful breakfast on her sunny and picturesque deck. She had many tips about local sights, restaurants and parking - very handy and helpful - and was generous enough to drive us to the local event (beer festival) so that we wouldn't drink and drive. She was also going to pick us up but we ended enjoying the evening and walking to her home instead. She has an extremely friendly cat that we were happy to engage with but she was quick to check out that we were ok with that before hand so if we were uncomfortable, I'm sure Ginger would have been made welcome in another area of her home. Communication was quick and effective. The space has a comfortable bed and every comfort - robes, toiletries, light drinks and varied television options. I can't think of anything that she did not have available to make our stay more comfortable. Perfect!

Highly Recommended
I highly recommend this Bed & Breakfast. When you stay at The Yellow Door, you will live in a very comfortable suit with all that you'll need to feel at home. Deirdre provides everything, from shower gel to different varieties of teas. You will even have a machine to make your own popcorn! The place is perfectly clean and quiet and very well decorated, with red and modern furniture. You will have your own bathroom and your own living room, and you can choose to enjoy your delicious breakfast on your own café table in your suite, or outside on the garden deck. I spent two nights there to see the Niagara Falls and attend a concert in Ridgeway, which is minutes away on foot. Deirdre was always helpful with advice, and I enjoyed her company, and that of her adorable cat, Ginger. You can certainly tell that Deirdre loves welcoming people and make them feel comfortable. I had a great time at The Yellow Door thanks to her, and had never been so sad to leave a Bed & Breakfast.

A Home away from Home
My parents enjoyed an absolutely wonderful stay at the Yellow Door. My husband and I gave them a package as their Christmas gift - 2 nights at the inn, a spa treatment for 2 and dinner for 2 at a nearby restaurant. My dad called after the spa visit and couldn't rave about it enough. He and my mom had retired to their very comfortable room for the evening, feeling relaxed and refreshed. The next day, they visited Niagara on the Lake and the Falls. Even in the winter, there was much to do and they had a great time. They topped off Day 2 with a lovely dinner in the town of Ridgeway. Of course, each day began with a scrumptious breakfast courtesy of Deirdre, the perfect host and the heart of the Yellow Door. This bed and breakfast is warm, welcoming and spotless... A great place to stay when in the Niagara area. Our family will definitely be back.

A Perfect Stay at the BnB
My husband and I were very pleased with our week-long stay at the Yellow Door Bed and Breakfast and couldn't recommend it enough! At the time of our stay, we were waiting for the renovations on our new house in Crystal Beach to be complete, and the Yellow Door was a perfect place to stay while we were moving all our worldly goods into our new home. Deirdre in particular was a wonderful host and provided us with a warm and cosy abode while we moved, which meant so much to us in the transition period between houses. Every evening when we returned from hours of unpacking, we were welcomed with a hot mug of apple cider and the opportunity to share our day's experiences with Deirdre. Our breakfasts were always delicious, and Deirdre was open to our suggestions as to what we ate. Of particular note, she would make breakfast separately for me in the morning, because I had a very early morning commute, and then again for my husband when he arose in the morning. Deirdre was a very knowledgeable host, with lots of recommendations and suggestions of what to do and see in the area. We would certainly recommend the YELLOW DOOR as a cosy and inviting bed-and-breakfast for anyone thinking of a visit to the Niagara Peninsula.

A genuine gift in beautiful Crystal Beach, Ontario EW
So glad I chose the Yellow Door for my week's visit in Crystal Beach. Very homey accommodation, and the breakfast is a delight every day. The hostess is welcoming and genuine, and could not do enough to make my stay delightful. A beautifully appointed suite, and a truly comfortable bed! Immaculately clean B & B.. Thank you so much. I would certainly choose this B & B again in the future

Cozy, relaxing place where host pays attention to every detail 5555 95/5 0
Our autumn stay at Yellow Door was more than expected. This quaint BnB was just a skip away from the beach. Every nook and cranny of the place is filled with thought and attention to detail. Little things like the bathroom having toothbrushes/floss/q-tips/contact lens holders/hair ties (in case you forgot anything!) to every room being tastefully decorated (we thought she was an interior designer for sure!) to the popcorn machine, explicit instructions on how to access Netflix, to drinks and little treats spread through the room, and even bath robes and sandals for guests. Every little details was thoroughly appreciated. We merely mentioned we were thinking of sitting by the beach and Deirdre pulled out beach chairs and left it by the door for us! She also had suggestions for where to grab a treat (Go to Flying Squirrel if you have a chance!) The food was delicious too! Breakfast was served in courses! Finally, we thoroughly appreciated the delightful company and conversations with Deirdre. We would definitely consider returning.

Lovely place to relax
The Yellow Door was an absolute delight. From the quick and easy communication before booking to the cozy private bedroom, my partner and I loved our stay. Deirdre offered many suggestions to fun places to go and kept us comfortable the entire time we were there. Her breakfast in the morning was an absolute delight as well. We toured both the beach nearby and Brimstone Brewery before heading off to Niagara Falls the next day. Quaint neighborhood that offered a great getaway from Toronto. We look forward to coming back!

Bike Friendly!
My wife and I visited the Niagara Region in early September and spent the first two days cycling the Greater Niagara Circle Route. We were starting the ride in Niagara-on-the-Lake and wanted to find an overnight accommodation close to the halfway point. After doing a little research we decided to stay at the Yellow Door B&B in Crystal Beach. After a day of cycling approx 70 kms, this was the perfect place to stay, not far from the trail and very convenient with our bikes. As all other reviews indicate, this place is great - very clean and comfortable, very relaxing, and in a wonderful location. Deirdre and Ginger (the cat) were very welcoming and accommodating, including a place for bikes and gear. Thanks for a such a wonderful stay!

Incredible
On our 7 day road trip, we stayed at 7 different places. Yellow Door Bed and Breakfast was by far the best. Just a five minute walk from Crystal Beach, in the middle of a quiet, charming neighbourhood, the location is amazing! But it does not compare to the wonderful, welcoming hospitality of Deidre and her cute cat Miss Ginger. She provided us with all the essentials from a nice overnight stay to a pleasureful day at the beach. 5 out of 5 stars and we would defiantly recommend. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

Hidden Gem
Before my husband's eye surgery, we both decided to spend some time together. We went to Crystal Beach and stayed overnight at Yellow Door B and B. The owner Deirdre made us very comfortable as soon as we walked in as if we know her for a long time. The house, the room were spotless and breakfast was healthy and filling. She also suggested where to go for dinner where the price was good and the food was great! On top of that, she made our way going back really easy by providing very good direction. I am telling you, this place is a hidden gem and you will not regret even for a moment staying here. We will come back for sure with our daughter this time.

Girls Weekend!
My 2 daughters and granddaughter surprised me for my 65th birthday by taking me to Crystal Beach to the Yellow Door B and B. We could not have felt more special from the moment we arrived and saw the Happy Birthday flag to the exceptionally delicious breakfast we were served next morning on the very private deck. The accommodations were spotless, comfortable, spacious and cozy. Deirdre is the most gracious,accommodating and welcoming hostess ever and made our stay very special. She was always available for suggestions on where to go and what to do and how to get there but always gave us our privacy.
We would love to return next summer and stay for longer!! Best B and B I have ever stayed at.
Thanks Deirdre!

The PERFECT place to stay ❤️
The best B&B we've ever stayed in and we travel LOTS! Deirdre is the perfect hostess and more.
Absolutely beautiful place to stay with lots of charm, great style and the most sweetest beautiful cat we have to mention of course! We LOVED Ginger the cat!
Very clean, comfortable, well stocked with all the essentials you need and much more. Lovely little touches like popcorn, gorgeous comfy robes, wine glasses and extra essentials in the bathroom, really there is nothing you will need because the hostess has provided everything you need and much more!
The towels were lovely and soft and changed daily, the bathroom lovely with a great quality power shower and the whole place was just sparkling and spotless. We were even provided with little extras like cake and fruit which were just lovely!
The breakfast was divine, all fresh and delicious homely food and there's great variety of teas and coffee.
Deirdre went out of our way to make our stay comfortable and it felt just like home from home with extra little luxuries!
Even offered to pick us up and also we were very kindly dropped off to the station which was a good drive away.
The area is beautiful, a gorgeous sandy beach a very short walk away with a good variety of bars and restaurants nearby and it's exactly the quiet, peaceful seaside small village we were looking for for a few days relaxation.
We wouldn't hesitate at all to recommend this place and if ever we return to the area we wouldn't even think of staying anywhere else.
Thank you Deirde for being the PERFECT hostess and making our stay so special and we will really miss gorgeous sweet Ginger! :) xx

We wouldn't hesitate at all to recommend this place and if ever we return to the area we wouldn't even think of staying anywhere else.
Thank you Deirde for being the PERFECT hostess and making our stay so special and we will really miss gorgeous sweet Ginger! :) xx

Nous avons adoré notre séjour chez Deirdre, notre seul regret ayant été de n'avoir pas pu rester plus longtemps (nous n'y avons passé qu'une seule nuit) ! L'accueil par Deirdre et sa petite chatte Ginger ont été parfaits ainsi que les lieux et le petit-déjeuner. Deirdre est très serviable: elle nous a prêté le matériel nécessaire pour profiter de la plage, nous a offerts de nous y conduire etc. Sa maison est à quelques minutes à pied de la plage, dans un village très calme mais plein de charme : parfait pour des vacances reposantes. Nous y retournerons sans aucun doute !”
English Translation: We have adored our stay with Deirdre, our only regret was that we didn’t stay longer (we only stayed for a night)! The welcome of Deirdre and her liitle cat Ginger where perfect along with the location and breakfast. Deirdre is very hospitable; she accommodated us with the necessary equipment to get the most of the beach, offered to drive us etc. Her house is only a couple of minutes by foot to the beach, in a very calm, very charming neighbourhood; perfect for relaxing vacations. We will no doubt return!

A Very Special Experience
My wife and I stayed just for a day at Yellow Door B & B, the hostess Deirdre made us feel so special, the rooms are kept spotless, the decor is very stylish. Breakfast was wonderful. At some point Deirdre asked if there was anything that could be improved; and honestly we couldn't think of one particular thing. We were very impressed.

Our one year anniversary celebration at the Yellow Door Bed and Breakfast (5/5)
My boyfriend and I came to Crystal Beach to celebrate our anniversary. I was looking for somewhere to stay that was nice yet affordable. I then found the Yellow Door Bed and Breakfast. It was absolutely fantastic! Deirdre was an amazing host! She welcomed us with a big smile and open arms. She bought us a balloon and wrote Happy Anniversary on one of her two chalkboards, on the other was our names. She offered to drive us to sneakers, checked the bridge crossing times, and made us a wonderful breakfast. She is a beautiful woman with wonderful stories and insight on life. It was a blast sitting and talking with her about our lives as we had breakfast. Her cat Ginger is an absolute doll who loves cuddles! The space was marvelous! It looked the same if not better than the pictures. Pristinely clean, comfortable, and welcoming. The bed was comfortable and was full of pillows. The sitting room area had a popcorn maker, mini fridge, and microwave. There is also a large screen TV which was perfect for watching the Olympics. The bathroom is large with a huge walk in shower with a seat. She also has a cabinet full with every toilet tree you could imagine. All around it was an amazing trip and we will be back for sure!

Amazing Stay at the Yellow Door B&B!
My wife and I came to Crystal Beach for her open water scuba test at Windmill Point Park. We were searching for somewhere affordable to stay and came across the Yellow Door bed and breakfast. It was fantastic! Our hostess Deirdre was warm, welcoming, and very caring. The accommodations were exactly as presented on the website, uniquely decorated and warm. The bed was comfortable, the sitting room had a large screen TV (which was fantastic as we were both exhausted after a long day of diving), a mini fridge with pop and water, various teas, and popcorn. The bathroom was also very nice with a large walk in shower and a cupboard stocked with every toiletry you could need. Deirdre went out of her way to make sure that we were well taken care of on a number of occasions, for example, she offered to drive us to and from dinner if we wanted to have a few drinks, and she sent us with a bag of ice filled with juice and yogurt to ensure that we would be nourished and hydrated during our long day of diving. The resident cat, Ginger, joined us for breakfast both mornings - she was so adorable and loves to be petted. Thank you for the wonderful stay - we will be back!

Wonderful Weekend Getaway
We were greeted with a warm welcome. The space is cheerfully decorated just as the pictures show. It offers more than the typical bedroom space in a B and B, as it includes a charming living room with all the amenities. Deirdre has thought of everything right down to dental floss in the bathroom cabinet and chocolates on the pillows. The place was spotless, and she refreshed it with new towels etc. while we were out. Deirdre is an exceptional host. She provided us with great recommendations for restaurants and activities and helped us with driving directions. She was flexible with the breakfast time. Breakfast was delicious out on the patio, which is a beautiful outside oasis. Deirdre provided us with a home away from home for our weekend getaway. We can't wait to come back!

Glorious 2 days away from Toronto
It was a great break from the every day and I loved every minute. As a single woman, it was important for me to feel safe, and it was better than my expectations. Deirdre is a charming friendly hostess who went out of her way to make me feel so welcome.
She provided me with various suggestions, maps, local restaurants, beach bar entertainment and a relaxing spa. Endless local places to visit and very friendly people live here.

To refer to Deirdre as an amazing hostess would be an understatement! We absolutely loved our time at the Yellow Door Bed and Breakfast. Deirdre was more than willing to help us become acclimated with the area and provided us with numerous attraction suggestions as well as directions around parts of Ontario. The gardens surrounding her home were pristine, and she was more than willing to share her home, both indoor and outdoor, with us day and night. Each morning, she planned a lovely breakfast around our schedule, providing us with an assortment of fresh fruit, yogurt, juices, a selection of coffee, numerous cereals, and a homemade hot dish. The living area, bathroom, and bedroom were impeccably clean and overall aesthetically pleasing, offering more than enough privacy and maintaining an at-home feel. Apple TV, free wifi, a stocked mini fridge, a popcorn machine, and every toiletry known to man are just some of the amenities provided. Deidre is running the best B&B we will likely ever experience. We would go back in a heartbeat! Thank you for not only providing us with an amazing place to stay, but also for being such lovely company, Deirdre!

Deirdre is a warm and welcoming host. She wrote our names on her chalkboard to welcome us. The space is immaculate. The front and back gardens are beautiful. I really enjoyed having breakfast out on the deck. She is so well organized. She has a frig, kettle with a great variety of teas and coffee, and even a popcorn maker available. She kindly made her microwave available so we could heat up our leftovers. She has all kinds of pamphlets available and she is willing to share her knowledge of the area. It was just a great experience for my son and I. We hope to return.

I had a very nice stay in Crystal Beach at the Yellow Door and would gladly return. The host was very caring and went above and beyond. When we mentioned we would be going to Ridgeway for the Sean McCann concert at the Sanctuary, she offered to drop us off and pick us up so that we did not have to worry about street parking or having a few drinks. We took our host up on the offer and it was very much appreciated. The comfy house coat and throw away slippers were a nice touch too. I was tempted to use the novelty sized popcorn popper but did not get to that . . . perhaps one more reason to visit again. No disappointments here.

Our stay was amazing! The room was neatly decorated and was very comfortable. Many details - such as a customized welcome board - were taken into account and they made the stay exquisite. Deirdre was eager to have us and was very welcoming. We had quiche for breakfast and it was wonderful! Overall, our stay was not only great because of the room itself, but also because Deirdre was always ready to help and to have a great conversation. On Surrounding Area: Unfortunately, we arrived pretty late but we saw that there are a lot of different activities around Crystal Beach. We found the area welcoming, quiet, and affordable, unlike downtown accomodation. Conclusion: We will definitely come back given the opportunity!

Weekend stay at the Yellow Door B & B
My husband and I stayed for a weekend at the Yellow Door B & B. The accommodations were lovely, clean and very comfortable. We were able to have our private time in the living area, watch some TV and relax, but we also enjoyed sitting outside in the garden. The owner, Deirdre was very pleasant, friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was excellent and she couldn't do enough to make sure our needs were met. Also, Crystal Beach is a lovely lakeside town and the Yellow Door is just steps to the beach, so nice for an early morning or late evening walk. We will definitely stay there again.

The Yellow Door was ideally located for what we wanted to do: visiting Niagara's wineries, combined with a little cross-border shopping. The owner Deirdre seems to have thought of everything that would make our stay a pleasant one. She gave us a couple ideas about wineries that we had not known about, and her driving directions got us there quickly. The breakfast was terrific. Fresh fruit and juice, cereals and yogurt before a deliciously filling slice of quiche.
It was nice having a separate sitting room where we were able to relax and watch Netflix on a big screen. This was also the room where we were served breakfast, although we could have chosen to eat on the deck overlooking the garden if we had wanted
All in all a perfect location for what wanted to do, and a great B and B to leave from and come back to.

Terrific B and B close to the beach, and a scenic drive to Niagara's wineries
Excellent breakfast and attention to every detail to make our stay a most pleasant one.
Large flat-screen TV, fast WiFi, separate comfortable sitting room with mini fridge full of juices, etc.
Certainly will return in future.

Cozy Retreat
I recently had a lovely mini-vacation at the Yellow Door B and B in the quiet little town of Crystal Beach. The owner could not have been more gracious in anticipation of our every need.
Little touches like chocolates and other "treats" to a fully-stocked mini-fridge. We were very impressed at the attention to detail. Also there was big screen TV, with access to Netflix. The bedroom was cozy with several pillows on a very comfortable bed.
Breakfast was served in a private adjoining sitting room and filled us up for a day of exploring the area. There was a cereal and snacks in addition to the meal.
I can honestly say this B and B far exceeded our expectations!
Highly recommended. We will be returning!
