North Valentia School House

12/13/2020

It is with mixed feelings that we announce the official closing of the North Valentia Schoolhouse as an accommodation rental. We have sold the building and will not be taking any further bookings. We have had many wonderful memories here, raising our family and sharing it with our lovely guests. We are very excited for our next chapter which will be back in my hometown of Kitchener Waterloo. Thank you to all who have supported us over the past few years especially our wonderful manager Sarah Prowse who will continue to operate the Manilla Church B&B.

In light of what 🇨🇦 and the 🌎 are going through right now, we are following the guidelines set out by the Canadian government. We will not be renting to guests until further notice. What we have decided to do, on occasion, is let small groups of people, that have been self isolating together, use the space as a way of making their self isolation a little brighter. We are asking our guests to remove their own garbage and recycling as well as clean. And we are spacing visits accordingly so that so that there can be no transfer of germs.

When this crisis settles down our healthcare workers will need a rest. We will be looking to say thank you by gifting some free stays.

We don’t know what the summer will look like yet (no one does) but we will continue to take the recommendations set out by the government very seriously and at the same time continue to help and support people as so many Canadians are now doing. Be well everyone!

We are booking winter weekend “getaways” and workshops. Come up with a group of friends and learn how to paint on canvas, make your own soap or learn how to make your own toxin free skin care products. If you would just like to sit around the fire and have tea and cookies, we have someone that can teach you how to read tea leaves! Package includes a two night stay, workshop and a welcome basket of local produce. We can accommodate 6-14 people.

One of the many treasures people brought to share with me today! I know it’s hard to read but it’s a report card from 1937/38!
