Derived from the Scots Gaelic for ‘house on the river’, Tynavon offers an unparalleled get-away at a rejuvenating riverside retreat. In one of Elora’s most historic limestone homes (circa 1856) this stylish bed and breakfast blends urban elegance with a relaxed pace of life.

At Tynavon, no detail is left to chance. Its four rooms, named after tranquil rivers both near and far, are decorated in sophisticated simplicity with the guests’ ultimate comfort in mind. Each room features an en suite or private bath, luxurious linens and sumptuous homemade refreshments.

In summer, the sweeping verandahs offer the perfect location for a cool afternoon drink. In winter, the guest living room with fireplace creates a cozy atmosphere for reading or conversation. 

Before a day of exploration or relaxation, satisfy your taste buds with a mouth-watering full breakfast, prepared that morning from the freshest of ingredients.

Tynavon is a moment’s stroll from the shops and restaurants of downtown Elora. The rugged Elora Gorge and Quarry are but a short drive or walk, while Kitchener-Waterloo, Guelph and St. Jacobs are less than a half-hour drive away.  Guests can also wander down to the Grand River, where fly-fishermen cast lines and swans grace the waters. For added relaxation, Tynavon offers its guests on-site massages and other spa-inspired services. 

Spoil yourself at Tynavon, Elora’s bed and breakfast of distinction.

In High Season, we are pleased to offer a $20/night discount for second and subsequent nights.
