Port Hope Visitor Guide 2019
This is a place where you can slow down. If the weekend was a place, if the weekend was a philosophy, a conversation, a memory – this is where it would be. Port Hope is a place where you can shake hands with a farmer, snuggle a goat, take a dip in a cool lake, eat a meal fresh-picked from a local field, and breathe it all in. There’s room here. There’s quiet. There’s slow. And there are more ways to enjoy your day than weekends in a year. Come enjoy craft food, drinks and sunsets by the water. Explore quaint streets and scenic country roads. It’s the weekend.

You’re always on weekend time here, so take in the calm and stay the night.<br />
The small-town charm and natural scenery is just like de-stressing in a<br />
meditation studio in the city, but without the staging and effort. We’ve got<br />
cute boutique inns with lux linens and fireplaces in the downtown, so you can<br />
walk to shops and the theatre. Or you can escape to one of our country B&Bs<br />
where you can drink in the quiet.<br />

THE WADDELL HOTEL | 1 Walton St.<br />
What do you love about the hotel? The history. It was the first<br />
large brick building in town, it has the columns and the beautiful<br />
entranceway. I’ve been general manager for five years and I still<br />
love coming in the door.<br />

The setting is kind of perfect!<br />
the columns and the beautiful entranceway.<br />
It’s a small boutique hotel on the<br />
river, so a lot of people come for a romantic getaway. You can look at the river and hear the<br />
water flow. And you can walk the river trail that goes on to the lake.<br />
Best part of your job? The people. Our guests and our local regulars. There are so many<br />
interesting people who live here. The scientists working at Cameco, the artists. All walks of life.<br />
What brought you to town? Affordability of living here. We moved from Oshawa for the fresh<br />
air and the stars. There’s something about a small town to raise a family. My husband coaches<br />
our son’s ball team. We’ve made a lot of good friends.<br />
