This review is a bit late in coming, however our stay here was amazing! We stayed in the Retreat room on the third floor which was just beautiful and even though our bathroom was down the hall it was completely worth it for the tub! Everything about our stay was fantastic, the room, the food and the hosts were out... More

This was our third visit to Kingston this year and our fourth stay at the Secret Garden. We took advantage of a special run at the Inn for New Year's Eve and took our adult daughters for a small holiday. We were not disappointed. As with our previous visits, the rooms were warm and very clean, the bedding was beautiful... More

The Secret Garden B&B has so much character and old world charm. We stayed here for a mini-honeymoon and we are so glad we did. It's walking distance from Kingston's downtown core so you can enjoy shopping and restaurants just around the corner, and other Kingston attractions (dinner cruises, museums, etc.) are not too far either. The service was perfect:... More

We only had one night at the Secret Garden Inn in Kingston, but we should have stayed there longer! It is a very wonderful Vicotian House with really nice and spatious rooms! If you go to Kingston, you should stay there!

This B & B is in a landmark older home, with nice gardens outside, and two sitting rooms inside. Our room was good-sized, although since bathrooms are retrofitted in old houses, the shower stall was very small. The décor is a flowery Victorian style. It is very well located; you can walk to Princess Street and downtown restaurants, as well... More

I am sorry that you felt rushed as opposed to relaxed; I can generally accomodate checkins at different times than posted, whether early or late. You just need to ask. I appreciate your other comments and try to incorporate all feedback into the ongoing running of the Secret Garden. We are always evolving! More
