We enjoyed our stay at the Waring House. Room was clean though the rugs could be given a steam clean. Staff is super friendly from reception to grounds crew, along with wait staff and bartenders. Barley Pub was great for drinks and food, reasonably priced. Breakfast was great. Highly recommend staying at the Waring House and plan to visit again when in the area.

Room was cute but the smell immediately upon opening the door was terrible It stunk like old musty attic. Turns out it was the antique dresser which we discovered when we opened the drawer. They need to remover the dresser or remove the smell somehow

Room was excellent, and staff were very helpful when there were minor items that needed attention. Food in both the pub and dining room was excellent! Wife is Celiac and there are lots of options for her, and the kitchen was able to adjust to her needs. We stayed 3 days/nights and ate all breakfasts (included and to-order not buffet) and 2 dinners, and wife had zero problems. Highly recommend for quality and amenities, plus only minutes to Picton and easy drive to wineries and Sandbanks.

Loved the plush bed and hot tub! Chairs in the adjoining room were very comfy. And our deck backed out onto a field- so we got to see fireflies at dusk and stars at night without having to drive anywhere. Having a restaurant on the property that we could walk to was also really helpful and the included breakfast the next morning was excellent. Excellent! I would stay here again.

I reserved a room with a King bed but was given one with a Queen. The front desk blamed it on Expedia but the receipt clearly indicated King. They would not change rooms or offer a discount. The best aspects of Waring House are the breakfast, cleanliness, and reasonable prices.

This was our second stay and I don’t think we’ll stay again. The included breakfast is always good but the inn is a little tired, as are the pub and dining room. We had a very disappointing meal in the restaurant. Next time we’ll try somewhere else.
