Pets Can Stay Certified B&Bs and Vacation Rentals combine beautiful
locales, cozy furnishings and a wide selection of amenities for you
and your pet in order to offer all of the comforts of a “home away
from home”. This month’s feature highlights two certified properties
that welcome their pets with open arms, and much more: Mornington
B&B in
Kitchener,
ON and Duck & Pug Lakeshore Suites in Peachland, BC.
MORNINGTON CRESCENT BED & BREAKFAST - Kitchener, ON
With its fresh baked scones and innovative Tea and Swim packages,
Mornington Crescent
B&B offers a distinctly “English” flavour in the serene and
beautiful setting of Mennonite Country, just minutes from downtown
Kitchener, Ontario. Wonderful home-baked goodies await human and pet
guests alike, as even four-legged companions can have their
breakfasts prepared on request. Mornington’s Coach Room provides an
ideal getaway for the pet-toting traveler, with its spacious layout,
in-room fridge and separate entrance. “Guests feel just like home in
the Coach Room” explains Mornington’s host, Carolyn Steele. “They
can come and go as they please, let their pets out into the yard,
and enjoy a roomy interior that can accommodate even the biggest
pets. Being fully self-contained, the Coach Room’s layout in the B&B
can provide its guests with the option of socializing or privacy at
their own discretion, as well as cater to other guests who may or
may not want to be exposed to pets.”
Providing food/water bowls, paw towels and poop bags, as well as
allowing pets to stay free (“unless they require breakfast!”), round
out Mornington B&B’s additional efforts to provide a welcoming
atmosphere for their pet visitors. “Pets are as much a part of the
family here as our human guests are” claims Carolyn, who also
attends to the permanent pet residents of Mornington Crescent – two
cats, Eccles and Bluebottle, and a “bad-tempered budgie” named
Toodle-Pip. For the month of April, Mornington B&B will be offering
complimentary Maple Syrup Festival teas in celebration of the
world’s largest one-day maple syrup festival held in nearby
Elmira
that month.

DUCK &
PUG LAKEFRONT VACATION SUITES
- Peachland, BC
Amidst the beautiful scenery of
Peachland, British Columbia, resides Duck & Pug Lakeshore
Suites - a pet lover’s paradise nestled on the waterfront of
Okanagan
Lake. Due to overwhelming demand, the Duck & Pug has gradually
transformed from a B&B to a Vacation Rentals provider, with
fully-equipped, self-contained suites that allow guests to enjoy
longer stays and experience all that Peachland has to offer. The
first Okanagan property, and first B&B in Canada, to carry Pets Can
Stay’s highest certification designation, Premium-Insured, the Duck
and Pug has established itself in a class of its own for the
discriminating, pet-bearing traveller. Pet welcome baskets, bedding,
and pet walking/sitting services allow travellers and their pets to
enjoy comfort and freedom, while Duck & Pug’s Rest Assured™ pet
health insurance coverage provides complete protection for its
four-legged guests against accidents, on or off the property, for
the entire duration of their stay.
“’More than pet-friendly!’ is our motto”, comments Irene Simpson,
who owns the Duck & Pug with her husband Hugh. “Our property’s level
walking terrain, waterfront location and close proximity to
Peachland’s off-leash
Doggie
Beach is ideal for pets, and we are always on the look-out for
creative ways to entertain our pet guests.” Building on this notion,
the Duck & Pug plans to introduce complimentary life jackets,
Doggles (dog goggles), and Soggy Dog vehicle accessories (to protect
vehicle interiors against wet dog) this Spring/Summer, that will
allow travellers to take their pets boating and jet skiing. “In
addition to our amenities and beautiful outdoor setting, the fact
that our establishment is 100% non-smoking really appeals to guests
with pets. It’s all here waiting for you, so come, relax and enjoy!”.
