Spectacular stay with top notch service and spacious accommodations. This place has it all. Great seating areas, large rooms and awesome service. The staff goes above and beyond. The house itself takes you back in time but with modern conveniences. The breakfast was the best on our trip If you have a day or two in Kingston this is a must stay at. Located walking distance to all the downtown and waterfront activities.

The house was a very nice older home with very welcoming and helpful staff. The breakfast was served by friendly wait staff and the food was excellent. Parking was a little confusing with spacing on two different streets. Communicating this on our arrival would have been helpful.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It was a lovely 150 year old ( approx ) house that has been well maintained - The 2 staff members were both excellent to deal with ! We had the Brant Room which was quite nice - however itโ€™s on the 3rd floor and there is no elevator ( itโ€™s an old house - lol ๐Ÿ˜‚) so if you have mobility issues this would not be the room for you ! It also had sections of the ceiling that were quite sloping - I learned after banging my head a few times ! But otherwise a nice room - there were outside sitting areas that were really nice. Breakfast was very good and we both enjoyed it !
