This is a wonderful place to stay. Theresa's room, where we stayed, is large with a sitting area. Breakfast is a gourmet treat! Easy walking to Princess Street and Queen's University.

Well I had a few worries about the Inn changing hands but they were quickly put to rest when I took my family on a recent mini-vacation. Kathy, the new owner has been trained in the ways of the force by Warren and Gary, the previous owners. Her breakfasts are delicious and beautifully served. The rooms are wonderfully clean and...

We recently had a lovely visit at the Secret Garden. The house is a delightful explore of antique furniture, stained glass, good books, and poster beds. The innkeeper, Kathy, is engaging and knowledgeable, giving us the grand tour of the house along with its history. The rooms are beautifully decorated in the period and, as noted in earlier reviews, the... More

I stayed at The Secret Garden B&B this past week, while on business at the local hospital. The accommodations were spacious, tastefully decorated, comfortable and most importantly clean. The parlor provided a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy an afternoon tea, while catching up on some reading and socializing with other guests. The owner, Karen was friendly but not intrusive and prepared... More

In February my husband and I stayed at the Secret Garden and it was a delight from the warm welcome on a snowy, wind blown day to the beautiful room and big sleigh bed piled high with pillows; perfect for a late afternoon nap. After a very tight knuckle drive from Toronto because of the weather it was great to... More

I remember that snowy, slippery day in an otherwise mild winter! So happy that you enjoyed your stay, your room and the company. It was a pleasure to show off the Inn to you. Looking forward to your next visit! Kathy More

I have recently stayed at the beautiful Secret Garden Inn, where I had a warm, welcoming and relaxing weekend. When we stayed, the Inn had just been taken over by a new owner. Although it was only her first weekend there, everything went perfectly. Kathy was completely charming and accomodating. I have booked a return trip in mid-March, and shall... More

I have stayed here several times now, and each time has been wonderful. Gary and Warren are very warm and accommodating hosts. The house itself is beautifully appointed. Each room has a different theme, with appropriate and tasteful classic furniture to match, so each visit can have a slightly different feel to it. The prices are very reasonable for the... More

I chose the Secret Garden from the reviews I read on Trip advisor and we were not disappointed in any way.We spent the best five days of our Canadian visit at this beautiful inn. The rooms in the house are wonderful, so much character and homely comfort. Warren and Gary give so much attention to detail in all of their... More

My husband actually grew up in this big, beautiful home at 73 Sydenham Street in Kingston. Since his father had sold this house prior to our marriage, I wanted to have an opportunity to stay there in my husband's old bedroom. He was a little nervous, not knowing how he would feel about his old home being converted to a... More

My girlfriend is at Queen's and I decided to surprise her by coming in from Vancouver for the remembrance day weekend. It was a lovely stay! Both mornings were very pleasant with wonderful breakfasts and wonderful people, but also we felt like we had a lot of privacy when we wanted it (a problem with some bed and breakfasts that... More
