The room was spotless , the breakfast couldn’t have been more wonderful.
The owner and her daughter were the nicest people you could meet, I felt like I had known them forever.
The decor was very eclectic and the artwork she had on the walls were amazing.

Room was nice but a bit pricy considering other area BNB. Each room should have an individual single use coffee maker not a pot coffee maker, Breakfast was served late 15 to 30 minutes. No options to purchase snacks or cold drinks. People were very nice. Pool is great

We had such a lovely stay at the Heron Cay B&B in Mount Dora. The rooms are so quaint and full of beautiful antiques—it really gave the whole place a warm, homey feel that made it easy to relax right away.
Margie, the owner, was incredibly kind and welcoming. She went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed, and you can tell she really cares about her guests.
One of our favorite things was the little pathway behind the property that leads straight into town. Everything was within walking distance, which made exploring Mount Dora so easy and enjoyable.
And breakfast… honestly, that was the highlight. Margie makes everything fresh for her guests, and it was absolutely delicious every morning.
The only small downside was that our room was next to the owner’s garage, so we did hear some noise when it was being used early or late, and one day there was what sounded like a shop vac that was pretty loud. That said, it did not take away from what was otherwise a great stay, and I imagine the upstairs rooms are probably quieter.
Overall, we really loved our time here and would definitely come back.

Best bed and breakfast in Mount Dora, Florida!
This was hands-down the best bed and breakfast I've ever stayed at. The family that runs it was attentive to my dietary needs, they were friendly, they provided water for us every day to take with us on our outings and literally everything we needed right down to extra towels and blankets were provided promptly. The location was very serene and relaxing and I felt like I was at home. I will definitely stay here when I return to Mount Dora, FL.

Great Bread & Breakfast. Beautiful grounds and Inn with Victorian furnishings. The rooms were well-appointed, and I especially liked the Tiffany lamps. Family-owned who were very friendly and helpful and considerate. Historic Mount Dora was a short walk away. I plan a return trip.
