Words from the innkeeper

Beautifully situated at the heart of one of Ontario’s loveliest rural areas, the Waring House has stood sentinel at Waring’s Corners since about 1860. Today, the inn offers the discriminating traveler an opportunity to taste the hospitality and charm of an elegant Ontario home of that bygone era. Meticulously restored and renovated, the inn offers seventeen charming antique-appointed guest rooms. An additional 32 rooms will be completed in November of 2008. Amelia’s Garden dining room and the congenial Barley Room serve exceptional regional cuisine. A hands-on, recreational Cookery School, elegant Banquet/Conference Hall and lovely park-like setting make The Waring House an all-season destination. Spa facilities are available at the nearby affiliated Claramount Inn & Spa.

Special food requests due to allergies, vegetarian preferences, and dietary requirements can be accommodated, especially by prior arrangement. Guests may also enjoy casual fare all day in the Barley Room (where there is live entertainment Wednesday through Sunday evenings) and are invited to choose from a fine selection of local and imported wines by the glass, locally crafted beer and cider, and single malt Scotch.
 
 
Recreation The Waring House Inn    
    Cooking at the Waring HouseOne of the most important goals at the Waring House is to ensure that guests thoroughly enjoy their visit to Prince Edward County. There’s always a lot happening at the inn and in the County in general. On-site, there are hands-on, recreational cookery classes, and gourmet five-course wine-tasting dinners. There’s also live entertainment in the Barley Room Wednesday through Sunday year-round. Guests can book a three and a half hour guided tour of local vineyards, great for both casual wine drinkers as well as those who would call themselves wine connoisseurs. Many visitors will wish to partake in simple pleasures such as a vigorous walk down the Prince Edward County Millennium Trail that passes directly behind the inn, a casual stroll through the gardens, a game of bocce ball, horseshoes, croquet or badminton.
