My Husband and i, Our Son and his young lady have just spent 5 days at this friendly, welcoming and comfortable family home in the heart of Kingston. Joan was away and so we were very well looked after by Bill and his dog Simon. We arrived from a few days in Niagra to Kingston station where we were met... more

Visiting Canada from Amsterdam, the Netherlands, we visited the nice city of Kingston at lake Ontario for three days. The tourist office recommended the Summer house Inn as being downtown and a nice bed and breakfast. We called and were welcomed half an hour later by Joan. The room was comfortable and had a balcony were we could relax in... more

A very unpleasant experience. After booking a queen room with private bath at Summer House Inn in July this year, and providing our credit card details to confirm it, we arrived late afternoon to be met by Joan and told she had let our room to a long term tenant. She had made no effort to book us in anywhere... more

Totally unreliable! NOTE: traveling with a child of 18 months. We booked one month before our arrival (August 18 to September 13). Joan, the owner, asked us a credit card to confirm our reservation. We have sent to Joan all the required informations (also the credit card number). At our arrival Joan wasn't at home. Over the phone she told... more

Of note, the building itself is historic, well-appointed and... more

My stay at the Summer House Inn was most enjoyable. I frequently visit Kingston in the summer time and have stayed at most of the B&Bs in the downtown core. The combination of great location and the warm inviting nature of the hostess Joan Meaney makes staying at the Summer House a great B&B experience. Not only does Joan provide... more

Overall what a wonderful experience. It is a beautiful place, and the location is close to everything. Quaint accomdations, great fresh breakfast, and Joan Meany is a gracious and warm hostess. It was so enjoyable meeting and talking to the other people who were also staying at the B&B..High quality at a reasonable price. more

What a great experience and some history. When you are in Kingston or just passing through the area and need a great place to stay. Be sure to visit the Summer House Inn. Great location to the down town core, all walking distance. Not to mention the great chats I had with Joan about the history around the Kingston area... more

I must say that the review written October 22nd 2007 was quite contrary to my experiences at the Summer House Inn at Kingston, Ontario. I have stayed at this B & B on a number of occasions, over the years, and in addition to its great location and general ambiance, I have always found that Joan Meany was willing to... more
