General Description

Welcome to American Loyalist Peter Secord Inn, an historic Georgian home which pre-dates the War of 1812. The house was built in 1782 by Peter Secord, the first Loyalist farmer in Upper Canada. It is the oldest Loyalist home and the earliest surviving example of a Whirlpool sandstone building in Niagara.

Peter's house was used as a hospital during the war of 1812 and as a result was spared during the burning of St. Davids in 1814. It is a remarkable piece of Canadian history.

The building served as an Inn in the 1800's and is believed to have hosted historic figures such as Major-General Sir Isaac Brock, Sir John Graves Simcoe, General Sir George Prevost, and heroine Laura Secord.

Historically designated, the house remains largely intact containing many original and unique features. It is tastefully restored blending original Georgian architecture with modern comfort in a smoke free/pet free adult atmosphere.
Guests have private entry to the rooms. The Peter and Laura rooms are spacious, well decorated and appointed with quality linens, ensuite bathrooms, TV, A/C and sitting areas.

Full breakfast is served in the candle-lit dining room and includes freshly brewed Columbian coffee, assorted teas, juices, fresh local fruit in season, the chef's main course changes daily and a sweet ending.

At the end of a busy day guests find relaxation in the Redcoat room which dates to the early 1800's. The comfortable setting is a tribute to Sir Isaac Brock and overlooks the hillside perennial gardens, where you are invited to play the baby grand piano.
For your interest, historical artifacts from the War of 1812 and earlier are on display as well as lots of good reading material.

Anniversary, birthday or maybe just a much needed getaway, we would be happy to help you make plans for your day with dining reservations, wine touring, golf and/or selecting a Shaw play.
