Words from the Innkeeper

 
The Idlewyld Inn is graced with history, charm, elegance and a fine pedigree. More than 125 years old, the mansion started life as a private home for a prominent businessman and sportsman—Charles Smith Hyman—a gentleman who listed among his credits, the position of former mayor of London and cabinet minister in Sir Wilfrid Laurier's government. Lovers of the game of bridge will be intrigued to learn that Hyman is also credited with introducing the game of bridge to Canada. With one elegant foot in the past and the other in the present, Idlewyld Inn is an oasis of comfortable luxury in the midst of London’s “old south” community. The Idlewyld’s graciously appointed guest rooms effectively combine vintage furnishings with modern amenities.
