The service was amazing. The room was cozy and had what you needed. We booked the pricate hot tub room so we could use the hot tub but unfortunately the hot tubs are not able to actually keep the water warm once the cover is remove. Our water went from 104 (when we first got in) down to 96.

The included breakfast was excellent...but our room was "tired". Stains on the rug...battered dresser and night table tops which they covered with clear glass after the fact. The furniture itself was gorgeous Gibbard...shame previous visitors did not respect it.The lounging chairs in front of tv needed a good clean. So wanted to open sliding door but screen was full of holes and a few hornets were lingering between door and screen. The Muskoka/ Adirondack chairs were strategically placed on balcony overlooking fields but they were not inviting as they were covered with mould spores. I was so disappointed as Waring house has been our go to resting place in years past. Their gardens are still spectacular even in the beginnings of frost filled nights.

The Waring House offers a truly memorable experience, and it starts the moment you arrive. The grounds are impeccably maintained — lush, inviting, and clearly cared for with pride. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure every guest felt welcomed and well looked after. We stayed in the Quaker Lodge, which struck a perfect balance between modern comfort and historic charm. Our room featured a lovely balcony overlooking the Millennium Trail — an ideal spot to enjoy a quiet morning coffee or unwind in the evening with a glass of wine. Dining at The Barley Room Pub and Amelia’s Garden was a highlight. The food and drinks were consistently excellent, but what really stood out was the level of service. While we did notice occasional moments where the staff seemed stretched — something a few other reviews have mentioned — what impressed us most was how gracefully and kindly each team member handled it. Their calm professionalism and friendly demeanour turned any potential hiccup into a moment of connection, not inconvenience. Will definitely be back and I can’t say enough about the total experience of The Waring House. *disclaimer, this is a real review from a real unbiased and very happy customer.

The property is a little tired, staff were all pleasant and helpful. Good breakfast, but our dinner in the Amelia restaurant was expensive and poor quality. We had the chicken breast that must have been cooked earlier and it was super dried out with no seasoning whatsoever. The lamb was ok. They were all out of PEC wines which is ridiculous as that is why we were visiting the region. They need more attention to the dining experience

Le petit dejeuner était délicieux. L’emplacement et la tranquillité parfaite. Le terrain et jardin bien entretenu et fleuris. Les chambres sont meublées vieillot et profiterait de grand ménage et nettoyage afin de rafraîchir l’odeur des lieux. Les luminaires et l’ameublement étaient poussiéreux. Les meubles et les tapis ont besoin d’être nettoyé et le matelas rajeunit. L’accueil et le personnel nous ont grandement fait apprécier l’hébergement. Nous en étions à notre 2e visite, il y en aura certainement une autre !
