Little gem

Lovely setting. Very easy access to downtown and harbour. No air conditioning, and no elevator, so possibly not ideal for those with limited mobility.

Elsa, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Charming historical property, yet over-rated.

This property needs more interior upkeep: maintenance, not renovations. It is overpriced. The gourmet breakfast was delicious but more like a lunch (no fresh fruit, no bread basket, juice must be requested). The Lasalle bedroom was spacious and comfortable but needs a flow control on the central air outlet. There is no thermostat in the room; we were freezing on the first evening.
David, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautifully restored historic old house. Character with all modern conveniences. Breakfast was fabulous. Chef took great care and served us personally. Loved it!
Jennifer, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Enjoyed my complementary morning coffee in their comfy bathrobes on the porch swing in the middle of an ice storm. The morning breakfast was lovely, enjoyed the ensuite and fireplace in the McKay room.

Beautiful inn with very friendly staff and a delicious breakfast.
Susan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property is historic and has been lovingly restored and maintained. It is in a quiet neighbourhood and the garden is delightful. There are however a lot of stairs to get to the bedrooms which might matter to some people, and the soaps & shampoo have a very strong fragrance which I didn't like. The scone was the best part of breakfast.

Friendly and welcoming - great location
Sarah, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I had a very enjoyable stay and appreciated the attentive service, the gracious reception rooms and the gorgeous gardens and the delicious breakfast. My room was very attractive and comfortable especially the bed. I slept very well. The room could have been a bit warm but a fan and an operable window ensured it was cool enough at night. The bright modern bathroom was well appointed. And views from sitting areas were beautiful. Thanks so much!

Michelle, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautifully decorated, stately elegant home for a relaxing time in historic Kingston. Great location for walking to shops/restaurants on Princess Avenue. Would prefer the dispensers to be less FORCEFUL, as the lovely Wellington Soap products are all quite viscous. Gorgeous 4poster bed in McKay Suite. See you again, when the garden is blooming!

Beautiful inn! We had a lovely stay in the Martello room. It was an extremely cold weekend in Kingston and it was so nice to come back to our cozy room with the fireplace. Our breakfast in the morning was delicious and the staff was very attentive.
