It was a great stay at Empire Inn, but too short as we would have loved to stay a few more days! Sabrina is an amazing host, she loves taking good care of her guests, is very accommodating & nice! The location in Bloomfield is perfect for a trip to sandbanks or winery/brewery in the area. The room was huge and well equipped. We felt like home and will definitely go back in the future! Thanks Sabrina!!

Overall, it was great. Some equipment could improv even more the room : hanger for the wet things after the beach, a table more accessible with kids & control of the AC in the room (it was pretty cold at night).

Sabrina, the proprietor, was a delight. Very helpful and accommodating. Quiet setting, lots of parking, very close to walking trail. Steps from Main Street and shopping. Ground floor rooms were a good size. The 2 bedroom suite was huge- bigger than many apartments- and a great party room. Beds were quite comfortable. We appreciated the ensuite kitchens. The value was great- inexpensive rooms with all the basic necessities.

The decor was reminiscent of school dormitories; basic, unique and a bit dated. The bathroom lighting was dim.

Firstly, the owner is so incredibly nice. She makes herself available for you if you have any issues and really cares about your stay. Our room was huge (which is so nice when you’re travelling with your little kids). We’ve stayed at other places in the area and we were literally on top of each other. We had everything we needed in the room.

Our stay was great, the only thing I’d suggest is getting pack and plays for baby use, and that’s only because when we return next year we’ll have another baby! A swing set or slide outside would be awesome too, but obviously not a necessity.

The location was excellent, between Picton and Wellington and close to Sandbanks. The rooms were clean and brightly decorated with a delightful private balcony looking out over the property. We went to cycle and the Inn was close to the Millennium Trail via a private path. We enjoyed an excellent lunch there made by the Bistro in the Inn. But the very best experience was with Sabrina who was a delightful and outgoing host who ensured that all our needs were met and that we had fun.

Nothing. It was a delightful stay. What a welcome.

It's a great location - our dogs LOVED the huge “backyard” which is more of a field and connects directly to the Millennial trail. The rooms were very bright and private. The property is right off of Main Street. Honestly just the perfect combination if you enjoy a nice quite morning listening to the birds singing and a nice brunch downtown followed by some local shopping. Also very accessible to the rest of the county (approx. 10 min to downtown Picton, 10 min to downtown Wellington, and 10 min to Sandbanks). Loved how the owner focuses on sustainability while maintaining comfort, e.g., reusable coffee filter and minimal one-time-use plastic. Also loved how they support local businesses by using made in Canada products.

This property is a little gem hidden away and it’s located close to Sandbanks and Picton. The owner/ host Sabrina was exceptionally friendly and welcoming! We had our own private suite with private parking right in front. The room was super clean, modern and most off , all amenities were available. My dog loved the humongous back field and it was nicely trimmed. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely go back next summer.

Nothing.

Simply echoing the recurring rave reviews about the proprietor, Sabrina’s warmth and friendliness. We were promptly met by her shortly upon arrival and check in was smooth and went without a hitch. She struck the perfect balance in not being rushed to settle us in our immaculate and cozy suite, explaining the amenities (well-appointed kitchen, vast property) and giving some helpful suggestions as to where to dine and get provisions as well as popular sights and activities, yet being mindful of guests privacy. Very central location- close proximity to wineries and Sandbanks-A stone’s throw to Bloomfield’s quaint Main Street with shopping and browsing a plenty, good eats & dessert! Can’t wait to return the next chance we get

Nothing we did not like

We had an amazing time at the Empire suites. We even decided to book an extra night to enjoy the place even more. The location is perfect if you want to go and explore sandbanks provincial park. We stayed with our two young children and Sabrina made the whole family feel very welcomed. The suite was very spacious with its own private patio and bbq. Everything you need is available and the cute town of Bloomfield is just a few minute walk away. The master bedroom was perfect. Sabrina is incredible and always there to help if you have any questions. Would recommend you book here 100%.

The only thing I would change would be to have bigger towels available but its really all I can think about.

Sabrina was great! She is friendly and welcoming. This is our second time here and we loved it just as much as the first time. And bonus they allow pets which meant we could bring our dog.

Bloomfield is limited in what it has - not much happening after 6pm. And the café at the hotel gets really busy so you may have to wait (but they have great lattes).

The location of this adorable place is perfect - right off of the main street and within a 5-7min walk to Slicker's ice cream :) The room we got was beach-themed and so beautiful! You can see how much energy and time went into the design and decoration of the room. She literally thought of EVERYTHING! From good, ground coffee in the rooms, ziploc bags, a private deck, actually good shampoo and conditioner (not the kind you typically find in hotel rooms), cute dishes...she definitely exceeded our expectations.
