A Stone's Throw
Bed and Breakfast

A Stone's Throw Bed and Breakfast, one of Kingston, Ontario's oldest, historic limestone buildings, sits on the waterfront where guests can watch the tall ships on Lake Ontario from the stone patio. The name says it best. This charming inn is just a stone's throw from Kingston's most popular tourist attractions with waterfront walking and cycling just outside the door and pubs, restaurants, boutiques, and the famous 1000 Island Cruise ships just a five minute walk away. If you like your accommodations in the center of all there is to see and do, you'll love to stay at the Stone's Throw inn.

When you step in off the waterfront into the Bed and Breakfast, you'll see the original limestone walls which accent authentic Canadian antique furnishings and historic art that create a warm and welcoming experience. Although Basil, the host's golden retriever, and her two cats are never allowed in any guest rooms, they will probably want to become your friends.

Each of the three guest accommodations are unique and reflect the loving care with which your host welcome you. Tastefully decorated with Canadian antiques and historic and contemporary fine art, all rooms have cozy sitting areas for relaxing at the end of a perfect day or for taking care of business with high-speed Internet. You may choose the Room with a View with private bath or the Battenburg or Bramble Rooms which share a bath, for the ultimate in Canadian hospitality and comfort.

Heart-smart and traditional, gourmet breakfasts are served in the dining room each morning. If you've never tasted eggs from free-run hens, you'll be amazed at what you've been missing. Your host can also guide you to many fine restaurants within walking distance.

During the week, take a ten minute walk to Queen's University, established by Royal Charter of Queen Victoria in 1841. Twenty minutes away is Fort Henry, one of Kingston's greatest historic treasures. A fully restored 19th century fortress, Fort Henry offers guided tours, musical performances and precision military demonstrations by the Fort Henry Guard.

Don't miss the Sunset Ceremonies every Wednesday evening throughout July and August. Evenings are for exploring the pubs, boutiques, cinema and live entertainment of Kingston.

For historic surroundings, dazzling scenery and unsurpassed Canadian hospitality, make your reservations early to stay at A Stone's Throw Bed and Breakfast, only a stones throw from everything you want to see.

As a guest of one of the Historic Inns of Kingston, you will have the exclusive opportunity to sample the best Kingston has to offer.

On the 1000 Islands Dinner Cruise, aboard the Island Star, you are treated to a three course meal, live entertainment and tour commentary while watching some of the most beautiful scenery in Canada. At dusk, the candles are lit and you may promenade on the top deck or dance under the stars.

Because you are a Stone's Throw guest, this opportunity is yours at a surprisingly low rate on Sundays.
