Room 15 in The House Door had a very strong musty odour. Leaving the windows open did not help. Dinner and service at the restaurant was very good! Breakfast and service included with the room was average.

We have stayed at the Waring House on a few earlier occasions and unfortunately find the overall conditions of the place have gone back- the food -supper and breakfast were not great - we love Picton and the area around the Waring House but were disappointed this time around!

Our room in the Heritage building was beautiful, clean and very large. The property is pretty and centrally located to tour the County. It is very convenient to have the pub and restaurant on site. We ate at both and our meals were good, staff was friendly and there seemed to be enough people working there but the servers seemed to be unorganized and the service was slow. We’d return again. Enjoyed PEC and the Waring House.

The quality of the accommodations has clearly declined in recent years. While breakfast remains enjoyable, the rooms feel dated, and cleanliness is a concern. For instance, our room had only one facecloth, and the toilet seat wouldn’t stay up—an inconvenience, particularly for male guests. The carpets and TVs are overdue for replacement, and we even found mold on the balcony chairs. On the plus side, the location is excellent for cyclists, with direct access to the Millennium Trail and close proximity to downtown Picton.

I have stayed here previously, once above the restaurant in the main house and once in one of the heritage lodges. I was disappointed this time to be in the House next door. Very dated room and very uncomfortable bed with mattress toppers. I was expecting one of the heritage lodges and was not clarified by Expedia when we booked our rooom.

Check in was easy, the grounds are lovely but the buildings & rooms need to be upgraded. I found the room stuffy and the floor carpeting smelled mouldy The outdoor furniture outside our room, the railing and patio were in urgent need of painting. The breakfast was great!!

The property is well maintained and the staff are very nice. The rooms are due for an update as it is very much an early 2000’s feel. The restaurant was okay but didn’t live up to our expectations. Staff shortages probably contributed to our overall experience. A nice place but I’m not sure it is worth a repeat.

The food at the Waring House pub was very disappointing for a culinary school. I had been there several times before about 15 years ago and it has changed drastically. The service was fine but definitely not outstanding. For a place well known and expensive as the Waring House, it was not welcoming at all and definitely underwhelming.

The Waring House is a superb facility for accommodations and dining. Our suite was spacious and well appointed. The dining room was excellent and we ate both supper and breakfast (which was included). I must note that breakfast was served from the menu (not a buffet) and included orange juice, individual mixed fresh fruit bowl. There was also an adjoining pub with live music. Thank you Ashley and Heather for your attentive and engaging table service! Highly recommended! Thank you!
