The Waring House

The Inn was absolutely fabulous. Right from the checkin to checking out, the staff were marvelous, efficient, friendly and professional. We stayed in a lovely quaint room inside the Inn. It was clean, quiet and just very comfortable. We went to the bar for appetizers and a drink, returned later for dinner and entertainment. The music was great, staff attentive and friendly. Food and drinks were top notch and all the patrons seemed to be enjoying themselves. We even had a stroll around the property and gardens. I would stay there again in a heartbeat. The evening was magical and the breakfast the next morning was wonderful. I cannot wait until I visit again.

Room was okay - huge bathroom, miniscule shower - and our building smelled mouldy. Stink bugs flying onto our dinner table in the restaurant which was pretty gross, incorrect information given about the pub so that when we arrived early next day to see the band which was to start later, band had started and not a seat left - no reservations allowed. Food at breakfast not fully cooked. We won't be returning and don't recommend.

Disappointing Upon arrival, we were not given the room that had been confirmed at the time of booking. I had specifically reserved a room with two double beds, but instead received one double bed and a rollaway. When I raised this issue, I was told there had been a “miscommunication” because I booked through a third party. I was also informed that rooms with two double beds were located in a building currently closed for fire safety renovations. However, later that same day, I saw guests entering that building with suitcases, which made this explanation confusing and frustrating. The room itself had a strong musty smell. While I understand the building is older, improvements such as replacing carpets or better ventilation would make a big difference. To make matters worse, there was no hot water in the morning, making it impossible to take a proper shower. When I reported this at checkout, there was no apology or offer of compensation—only a brief mention that maintenance would look into it. Given that The Waring House is not an inexpensive place to stay, I expected a much higher standard of accommodations and customer service. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience.

It was our 40th wedding anniversary and we chose to celebrate with a dinner on Dec. 21st. The meal was the WORST we have ever eaten. It was obviously reheated from the night before when the restaurant had had a large gathering attend their buffet. I had lamb shank - it was dry and tough. My husband had the pickerel. It was overcooked and dried out. The moumd of mashed potatoes were crusted and tasteless. Overwarmed but not hot. The vegetables were similar-mushy and colourless due to overheating. At least the meal was consistently terrible. We couldn't get away from the table fast enough.

New year's Eve, beautiful upgraded suite that we were happy to pay premium price for, wonderful servers. Lovely 6 course dinner till the main came.... we were offered and ordered rare prime rib but were served med to well done We returned our plates and unfortunately there wasn't any rare to be had so we said fine just adjust our bill, dinner was over $300 with tip tax and wine We continued to enjoy our evening with drinks a few dances, a couple of hours later I was accosted by an elderly, frail woman who told me that I should be ashamed, people were starving in the world and we had wasted perfectly good beef, she went on to say that she would have eaten it and that we should not ever come back to the Waring House This woman it turns out is the owner. If you dine at The Waring House be sure to clean your plate off!!

Dec. 19 We booked three rooms and dinner in the fine dining room that evening. I checked in and confirmed our dinner reservation. We just got into our room when they phoned me to say there was no fine dining that evening because they were doing a Christmas buffet for a large party. We could have the buffet or eat hamburgers in the pub. I was not happy. The buffet was okay but they had a very limited vegetarian selection. Also the curtains in the rooms were half off their hooks and one room the whole rod fell off the wall when trying to close them. We loved the old home atmosphere but the place really needs an upgrade. However, breakfast was great and the price was reasonable so not a huge complaint but probably won't go back. Staff were lovely.

Enjoyed our stay. The breakfast was included and was awesome with a full menu, not a buffet. Our server was excellent and very friendly. There were only 2 servers with 15-16 tables and yet they were super efficient. The TV in our room did not work the first night and the front desk did not return my call. It worked the next day before a service man arrived.

Although the room was clean and accommodations were comfortable. The ceiling in our room above the bathroom door starting leaking during the night. I woke up to the sound of water and things falling around 4:30am. Waking up to find part of the tile around the light fixture had fallen. I turned off the air conditioning unit as the blower was just above this tile and light fixture. I couldn’t get back to sleep as I was worried something else would come tumbling down. I alerted the front desk and showed photos. There was no way this kind of damage occurred in one night as there was staining on the adjacent tiles. No apology was made, no offer to reduce the cost of the room. The pub food and service was great as well as the live music in the evening. Breakfast was great, if you ask for orange juice though, you will get half a glass. The breakfast wait staff seemed overwhelmed, we felt like a burden.

This is a successful hotel property with fine dining and a cooking school. We had a superb package deal which included a sumptuous breakfast and fine dinner. Everyone here is very friendly and service-oriented. You can pay A LOT more in The County, but we can truly recommended the superbly comfortable suites at Warung House.

Front desk and staff in Amelia’s garden and breakfast crew were amazing!
