We had a lovely stay at the Manse! We went out exploring a lot so the hotel was mainly our base for each night but while we were there it was great. The daily breakfast was delicious and nice to have options!
Thanks Kathleen & Chris!More

This inn has everything I was looking for and more. The manse is magnificent and historic, tucked away behind the church. It has been restored beautifully from top to bottom and has all the modern finishing touches. The garden with koi pond and waterfall is a peaceful spot for the absolutely delicious multi course breakfasts. Drinks by the pool is the perfect way to cool down, and a night time hot tub a lovely way to relax. The hosts Kathleen and Chris take care of all your needs and are happy to recommend Meals or activities. They really make you feel welcome and at home. As an added bonus, the spa in the basement with its limestone walls is wonderful. The little touches were so appreciated such as a water bottle to use for your stay, a fridge to put your wine and cheese in, and snacks and espresso/tea at any time of day. The location close to the Main Street of Picton was also ideal. I can’t wait to go back!
We’ll look forward to your return stay! Looks like you took full advantage of all we have to offer. Second time around it always good, you can double up on what you really enjoyed. Margaritas in the pool anyone?
See you soon

I never stayed at a b&b before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but our stay blew us out of the water! It was the most perfect mini getaway to visit PEC. The rooms are cozy, the food was great, and the innkeepers were amazing! It’s situated just off a busy road, so it was very tranquil and relaxing, and just steps away to restaurants, bars and shops. This will definitely be our preferred place to stay anytime we go back to PEC.
There are b&b’s....and than there is The Manse. Glad we impressed you by taking it to another level.
We’ll see you on your return visit soon!
All the best,

My fiancé and I just visited The Manse for the second time and were once again blown away by the great facilities, the hospitality from Kathleen and Chris, and the wonderful food. The place is immaculately kept and in a very central location, close to a bunch of great restaurants. The pool, hot tub, waterfall and koi pond on the grounds really lend to a wonderful ambience. I can’t recommend The Manse enough. Thank you Chris and Kathleen!
Thank you for your recommendation! It was great to see you a second time, let’s go for the threepeat next year.
All the best

Just home from a 3 night stay at this delightful gem, it is by far the most enjoyable BnB we have experienced. From the minute we arrived until our departure the hosts aimed to provide an enjoyable stay.
The rooms are tastefully decorated, comfortable bed, quality bedding, luxurious towels & an awesome shower. We stayed ont the 2nd level & were only a few steps from an spacious outdoor deck overlooking the pool & hot tub. Had it been a little cooler weather we could have ejnjoyed a gas fire pit on the lawn.
The main level had a pleasant parlour but to be frank it was way too pleasant weather outside to spend any time indoors. There are no refrigerators int he room but there is a pantry on the main level with a generous supply of ice, tea & coffee and a wine fridge for your own refreshments
We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfasts, the menu is varied and everything is fresh & delicious. The weather was ideal so we were able to sit outside in a cozy serene garden area enjoying the sounds of the pond waterfall, the area birds.
One evening we enjoyed a BBQ menu at the Manse provided by Chris & the other pm because we found the food so good we decided to have another pm meal at the Inn. The food was always thoroughly enjoyed, Chris is talented. For a small corking fee we could enjoy our own wine with dinner.
The Inn is located right in Picton, easy walking to some other restaurants & shopping. It is an easy drive to Wellington, Cherry Valley & Bloomfield, plus some area wineries.
Kathleen & Chris are the couple & guardians of the Inn, we would say they are pivotal in the success of this BnB. They are readily available to provide and ensure an enjoyable & pleasurable stay. Thank you to both of you for your attention to detail, your pleasant service and your fun sense of humour.
Thank you for your detailed review! We’re happy you enjoyed Chef Chris’s meals, he truly is a talented man who loves to prepare great meals for our guests.
See you next year!

We were blown away by just about everything The Manse had to offer. Hospitality... amazing. Food... better than some of the finest restaurants I’ve been to. The room... super clean, cozy, and easy to sleep in. This was a perfect (and I mean PERFECT) getaway spot.
Any cons? It’s a bit difficult to reach via car, given the awkward 5-way intersection and the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it road you have to turn in to get there. That was really it.
Thanks again, Chris & Kathleen for the fantastic experience. Chris... we followed your instructions and made some of your food. So good.
