The Bloomfield Inn is a small, characterful stay in the middle of Bloomfield, at 6 Stanley Street. It has seven rooms, each with its own name, among them The Meadow, The Millstone, The Rosehall, The Lighthall, The Hinterland, The Lakeside and The Bell Tower, and the sizes range from one-bedroom rooms for two to two-bedroom rooms that sleep four or six, which suits couples, groups of friends and families. Beds include king, queen and a double sofa bed depending on the room. Rooms have free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, flat-screen televisions, a refrigerator, an electric kettle and heating, and the bathrooms have a bath or shower with free toiletries. There is a garden and free self-parking. Dogs are allowed for a fee of 50 Canadian dollars per pet per stay, and service animals are exempt. We have not confirmed a formal star class, so the rating field is left at zero.
Location and getting around
The inn is in the village itself, so the Baxter Arts Centre is about a two-minute walk, the arts trail about five minutes and the Bloomfield visitor centre about seven. A craft beer spot is also about seven minutes on foot, and the village shops, galleries and restaurants are close by.
Sandbanks Provincial Park is about a twelve-minute drive, and the Millennium Trail runs close to the village. You will want a car to reach most wineries and the wider county, but you can leave it parked for an evening in the village, which makes this a good base for a relaxed, wine-focused weekend.
The rooms and the feel
With only seven rooms and several two-bedroom layouts, the inn feels more like a small guest house than a hotel. The two-bedroom rooms suit families or two couples travelling together, while the one-bedroom rooms with a king or queen bed suit a quiet getaway for two. Fridges and kettles are handy for tea and picnic supplies, and the garden gives a spot to sit outside.
Check-in starts at 4 pm and check-out is at 11 am, so plan your arrival around the afternoon, and note that breakfast arrangements are not confirmed, so ask the inn what is on offer when you book.
Who it suits and what to know: choose The Bloomfield Inn if you like village stays, galleries and walking to dinner, and if you want a small property with room to spread out. It is a good fit for couples and for groups of up to six in the larger rooms. Because it is small, it can fill early on summer and autumn weekends, so reserve ahead.
Pets are accepted for a fee, but confirm the rules with the property. In the cooler months the village is quiet and rates can be easier, but check which restaurants and shops are open on the days you plan to visit.
