FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
3 Diamond Award Winning Canadian Inn
Midland
Canada, December, 2005........ There are few Bed and Breakfast
properties in Canada that can claim a “Three Diamond Award”
for eight consecutive years. Little Lake Inn Bed and Breakfast in
the quaint town of Midland, Ontario has achieved that distinction.
Tourism editors of the American Automobile Association
(AAA) and the affiliate Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) have
awarded Little Lake Inn their ‘Three Diamond” rating
for eight consecutive years, making the Inn one of the top rated
B & B accommodation properties in Ontario’s historic Southern
Georgian Bay resort area.
“It has been critical over the years that we
respond to the needs of our guests who expect the ‘Three Diamond’
level of service,” according to Jennifer Hart, who owns the
Inn along with her husband Milton Haynes,
The 2005, Ontario AAA/CAA Tour Book explains the requirements for
the ‘Three Diamond’ rating as follows: “Establishments
that appeal to the traveller with comprehensive needs. Properties
which are multifaceted with a distinguished style, including marked
upgrades in the quality of physical attributes, amenities and level
of comfort provided. The editors rate each lodging on the overall
quality, range of facilities and the level of services offered by
a property. The size, age and overall appeal are considered as well
as regional architectural style and design.”
Little Lake Inn Bed & Breakfast offers a unique
alternative to hotels. It was established in 1997, when Milton and
Jennifer fell in love with the view from the backyard overlooking
the park setting and Little Lake. They purchased the property and
carried out extensive renovations to transform the home into comfortable
lodging for visitors to the Georgian Bay area.
It
is an honour to receive this prestigious rating, however maintaining
the three-diamond level takes dedication and a caring owner.
Hart adds, “We are constantly keeping our eyes
open for new ideas. Initially, when we were awarded our three-diamond
rating we did not have all ensuite bathrooms, but this changed quite
quickly when we found out that visitors wanted ensuites. Our AAA/CAA
inspector said he was so relieved that we had not only upgraded
to all ensuite bathrooms, but had added the Jacuzzi tubs-for-two
and fireplaces. Without these renovations, he was reluctantly going
to advise us that our rating would have to drop to the Two Diamond
status because of the increased requirement to maintain a Three
Diamond rating. Luckily we were ahead of him, and retained our three
Diamonds.”
Midland Ontario is located in the Province of Ontario,
just 90 minutes north of Toronto. Midland is considered to be one
of Canada’s historic resort destinations and represents one
of the earliest interior settlements in North America. The area
was first visited by Samuel de Champlain in 1615.
