The condition of this hotel was shocking to say the least. It was clear the rooms hadn’t been cleaned in years - dust, cobwebs, spiders, hair on the linens, and a very strong smell of must and mildew throughout. The deck door did not lock so I felt very unsafe for my entire stay. The front reception was not very helpful and quite cold at times. The only upside of this place is the adjacent pub and restaurant where the breakfast and staff including Heather were wonderful.

We stayed for one night for a 60th wedding anniversary celebration. I think the rooms inside the house are much nicer, than the “quality inn” type rooms in the 2 story walk ups. My father in-law found it difficult to manage the stairs with double knee replacements. It would have been nice if the receptionist had taken visual note of his cane and offered him main floor accommodations. My bathroom tissue box was empty and was very dusty. It was obvious no one had cleaned it in quite some time. We have stayed here several times over the years. It feels like it needs a good refresh. The breakfast menus for example, had items that they don’t make anymore, however because they are laminated, and cost $1 to make and they have 100 of them it’s too costly to make new ones. As explained to us by our waitress.

The room had tons of black bugs They were on my kids beds and all over the bathroom. Room not the cleanest. The staff at breakfast was very nice and friendly. On checkout, they charged me an additional 160$ claiming Expedia only paid them 850% even though I paid the full 1200$ up front. They refused to provide a breakdown on the expenses and I had no charges to the room. I will be filing a complaint with Expedia and the owners. Avoid this hotel at all costs!

The contrast between the beautiful, well-kept grounds and the outdated interior couldn’t be more striking. The lobby is a cluttered mix of worn sofas, coffee tables, a heavy bookcase, and a table awkwardly placed right in front of the main doors. Wall-to-wall carpeting throughout could use a deep cleaning. Our room was spacious but lacked charm, furnished with a sagging sofa, a glass-covered wooden coffee table, old wooden bureaus, and curtains in faded floral prints that felt like relics of another era. The bathroom was clean but clearly dated, and a watermark stain on one of the upholstered chairs added to the overall tired feel.

The Inn carpet has the basement-like musty smell. The room is overly scented, perhaps, to cover up the musty odor. The staff is friendly and professional.

We did not get the room that we paid for and on trying to get the staff to honour our booking, they wanted more money to give us what we had already paid for. I will never return there. It was a safety hazard for seniors!

Comfortable room, great breakfast.

The Waring House was well situated and provided basic needs during our overnight stay. The room was very clean but somewhat dated. High point was breakfast included in the package. A lovely dining room and good food. Note that the Waring House is set up like a campus made up of multiple buildings so the restaurants are not in the same building as your room.

I recently stayed at Waring House on Sandy Hook in Prince Edward County for a 2-day getaway, and I have to say, I was extremely disappointed. From the moment I walked into the room, I could tell that this place hadn't been updated in years. The carpet was stained and extremely worn out and the bed were more or less makeshift one. I didn’t expect luxury, but cleanliness is a basic requirement, and unfortunately, this resort failed in that department. The room had a musty smell which made breathing hard and even though I opened the window and the patio door, the smell remained. I also noticed a lot of dust behind the furniture. It was clear that they weren’t paying attention to the details when it came to maintenance. On the positive side, the staff was friendly enough but since I had booked via Expedia, they said they could not help us in any way. The property itself is amazing, quiet, well maintained. There is a lot of potential with this resort, well located within the PEC. I wouldn’t recommend this resort to anyone unless you're okay with staying in rooms that have not been cared for in years. If you're looking for a relaxing, clean, and comfortable place to stay, this is definitely not it.
