njoy the sights and sounds of Ottawa
from the quaint comforts of one of its historic homes. Home Sweetland Home
Bed & Breakfast is within
easy walking distance of all of Ottawa's major sites including Parliament Hill,
the Byward Market, the University of Ottawa, major museums, and the Rideau Canal.
Rooms are comfortable and reasonably priced. A full breakfast is served daily
from 7:30 am to 10:00 am. We have on site parking and central air for your comfort
and convenience.
Our home has maintained most of it's exterior details. The ginger bread running
trim which looks to appear to be solid has carved surfaces and square inserts.
The brick pattern on the front facade surrounding the second floor windows adds
to the turn of the century details that were common at the time.
The front step entrance to the porch is topped with a gabled roof. The porch
posts frame the storm door which carries the look and feel of 
the
wood work throughout the interior. The curved porch wraps around the front and
left side of the house. The balustrades, posts, and filled design cornices create
a typical Edwardian porch, which is great for relaxing, reading a book or enjoying
the garden.
The most lavishly appointed room in a Edwardian home was the drawing room, also
known as the parlor. It was typical for this room to be spacious, with high
ceilings, and other elaborate architectural features.
The marble fireplace has survived over the years, but has gone through some
structural changes and modernization improvements allowing it both functionality
and safety. The ceiling in both the parlor and the entrance way remain home
to three matching, original, crystal chandeliers with fruit and floral ceramic
medallions. These details in many turn of the century homes have been lost,
damaged, or removed completely. The foyer features a handsomely carved dividing
beam, finished at both ends with decorative
sconces that were very typical for this era of home.
The stairwell off of the foyer has also maintained it's original details. The
solid butternut baluster, finials, and rail fittings are all in excellent condition
considering their constant use over the years. At the end of the entrance way
hall, are a pair of wooden doors with original etched glass inserts, leading
into the dining room. Once again it is incredible for these doors to have survived
over time. These doors carry the same details that remain throughout the main
floor; the exterior front and back doors as well as the front hall closet door.
Bedroom One- "The Suite"- The suite consists of the entire third floor. There
is a bedroom with a queen sized bed, a private bathroom with a modular shower,
a kitchenette, and a bright sitting area with a television.
Bedroom Two This bedroom is tastefully decorated and faces the front of the
house. It has an antique full sized bed and the added convenience of a sink
in the room.
Bedroom Three- This bright, spacious bedroom overlooks the side/back garden
of the home and has a large antique queen-sized bed. It is clean and tastefully
decorated with a sitting area.
