What guests think
At The Secret Garden B&B Inn, travellers consistently praise the warm, attentive staff, delicious made to order breakfasts, beautifully restored historic home with lovely gardens, very clean and comfortable rooms, and a quiet, walkable location near downtown Kingston.
Guests also appreciate the period character, landscaped outdoor spaces, and convenient on site parking. Recurring drawbacks include numerous stairs and no elevator, some rooms with private bathrooms located down the hall, and centrally controlled temperature that can feel too cool or warm. A few guests questioned value for money or noted minor check out or housekeeping hiccups. Expect a character rich, service forward stay in a heritage B&B.

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.

We were pleasantly suprised with how charming the house and property is. From the front porch swinging bench, to the well maintained gardens and pond. The service is also above and beyond. Josh greeted us all day with a huge smile and generously helpful. We also had the Fondue dinner which was such a fun way to end the day. We will definitely stay again. Great for couples.

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!

During our three night stay in June we were very pleased with our accommodations at The Secret Garden. It is obvious that the proprietors set the bar high for comfort and satisfaction for their guests. The decor and furnishings were in excellent condition and authentic for the period of this fine old home. Just a couple of minor glitches. The glasses / coffee cups in the room during our first night were a bit grimy and we gave them a wash and mentioned it to the staff who made sure to supply fresh ones for the next night. Due to a scheduling glitch (Expedia?) we were moved to another room after the first night, but no complaints as the room was a bit of an upgrade and one of the staff moved our stuff while were were out, after breakfast, including our fridge contents, which was very helpful. The beds / pillows / duvets in both rooms were amazing - like sleeping on a cloud. One other minor issue was that there was a bit too much load on the electrics in our second room, when we used the Dyson fan, TV and a couple of chargers on an extension which was drawing from the same circuit as the fridge - resulting in a blown breaker, but Cyrus got it reset for us and we were careful to rearrange the plug-ins a bit, afterwards. This was the only reason I didn't rate the property full marks.

Sehr herzlicher Empfang am Vortag, jedoch nach dem Frühstück war der Manager zur Verabschiedung nicht mehr vor Ort, so dass die Gäste etwas verwirrt und wartend herum standen. Die Einrichtung ist charmant und etwas aus der Zeit gefallen. Das Zimmer war winzig, die Treppen steil und mit einem Koffer ein smartes Fitnessprogramm. Die Möbel, besonders das Bett klein und abgenutzt, die Matratze durchgelegen. Das Frühstück bestand aus 2 Varianten - einmal herzig mit Shashuka, sehr fein gewürzt, oder süss mit Waffeln. Auch etwas wenig für ein B&B mit diesem Preis. Somit - Preis - Leistung waren für uns absolut nicht stimmig, auch wenn wir verstehen können, dass der Unterhalt sicher nicht preiswert ist, wir uns jedoch nicht zur Kostenbeteiligung bemüssigt fühlen.

The property is lovely. Our main complaint was the room we booked had a bathroom located down the hall. It was private but you had to leave your room and walk down the hall to use the bathroom, shower etc. not much fun in the middle of the night. We were not made aware of this until check in. I may not have booked had I been aware of this. Awkward if you ran into someone else coming out of their room.

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.

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.

It is a quaint, beautiful Victorian home that is well-maintained, with charming appointments in each room. We were greeted with the aroma of home-baked goods for breakfast along with a choice of savoury or sweet mains. The French Press coffee accompanied the meal, and everything was delicious. The hosts and manager were lovely and attentive to our needs.

What an amazing, warm and friendly place. It'll be an absolute pleasure if i tetur one day. Kingston is small anyway, although the inn is right in the middle which makes things even easier. Well prepared breakfast every day, and a different selection of 2 to choose from.

The accommodation was excellent. It was very clean and comfortable. The food was top-notch. I had an incredible breakfast. The staff was very friendly and willing to help in any way. I skipped one breakfast (I was meeting friends) and the staff checked to see if I had done that in error and were willing to get something for me. Incredible service!!! Thank you!

Josh was exceptional. The breakfasts were way above (think smoked salmon Benedict on vol-au-vents). It's a beautiful building in a quiet neighborhood less than 5 minutes from downtown

Room bright and spacious, bed comfortable and large, bathroom modern and very clean, toiletries provided were good quality as were the towels. Our host and staff were full of energy, enthusiastic and helpful. Breakfast was gourmet standard and the fondu evening meal was excellent. The location was ideal for exploring Kingston with all main attractions and restaurants within a short walk. And finally the exterior was very beautiful. Someone knows how to set up and maintain a small but charming garden! Definitely recommend.

This was a beautiful B&B dating back to 1888. There are some lovely traditional features but the bathroom was modern and there were some lovely little touches that made it a bit extra special. The breakfast was also lovely and a bit different. The only advise that I would give is to turn the air-conditioning down It was quite cold in the bedroom unless you were in bed.
