Upper Ottawa Valley Vacation Packages

Good

This is characterful property with a beautiful garden, very close to the amenities, shops and delights that Kingston has to offer. It is quirky in parts, eg mixing modern dining chairs with Victorian interior details. The bed was comfortable although the duvet did not have any cover, relying instead on a counterpane and sheet. Our duvet did have a stain and if the counterpane proved too warm, it felt rather stark to have a ‘naked’ duvet. Never come across that before. The room never became fully dark, as the landing light remained on all night with gaps in the doorframe letting in a lot of light. In addition, the Roman blind also let in light at the sides. Sleep was further disturbed by intermittent firing up of some sort of motor in the house, possibly the boiler. So, not the best night’s sleep. There were 2 choices for breakfast- a sweet, or savoury option. Opting for French toast, it was beautifully served by our cheerful waitress, who was attentive and courteous. It was tasty and well presented. The savoury option was not a traditional Canadian style offering, so don’t arrive expecting crispy bacon, maple syrup and pancakes. Other diners did say they enjoyed the savoury choice however. We did have afternoon tea on the afternoon of arrival. A selection of tasty morsels, with a twist on what you could usually expect, and not traditional English tea. The hostess was effusive and the house gave a glimpse of some of the architectural features of 1888 Victoriana,

The breakfast was excellent. The various stations i.e. coffee, main, condiment worked extremely well for traffic flow. The cooked breakfast was a great option and very reasonably priced. The food was well prepared and the baked goods were fresh and tasty. Our room was clean, spacious and had all the necessary conveniences. Thank you to all the staff. Most certainly would recommend the Inn and stay there again.
