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.

What a gem, located in walking distance to shopping, harbour and pubs. Great gourmet breakfast too. 5 stars, great reception by McKinley, breakfast service by Daryl and cooking and hospitality by Jason, and easy parking right in front. Will definitely return here when in Kingston again.

Beautiful property; we were in the MacKay room and enjoy the spacious room, delicious breakfast and the staff are wonderful. We left our car parked and walked to everything. Dining choices abound. I would recommend this to adults and save time to relax on the porch.

The only problem with the detached bathroom was the worry of disturbing other rooms during the night. While the breakfasts were good I prefer a variety of things to eat each morning. Over all our stay was outstanding and we will stay again.

This is lovely BnB. The air conditioning is regulated centrally for the rooms. Ours at the top of the house was quite hot and we had to ask them to put the heat down. Would have appreciated if this was pointed out to us. Otherwise a beautiful experience.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Cute bed and breakfast. Food was good. Friendly and helpful staff The bed was far too high! I literally had to put my foot on the bed rails and jump into bed! If I was older or had bad knees or hips I never would have been able to get into the bed. There was a small stair but not enough room on my side of the bed to put it there and it was a tripping hazard in the middle of the night Also, Covid is over! Time to tidy the rooms and fresh towels!
