What a fabulous find! The rooms are beautifully appointed and the bed was heavenly. The window had a room-darkening shade, and despite the bright, bright snow outside, the room was utterly dark. I slept like a rock for 10 hours! Don and Zoe are delightful hosts! As I was their only guest, I invited them to join me for breakfast,... More

You are most welcome. Your heartfelt comments about your stay at The Tymparon Inn and about us were humbling, however graciously appreciated. From the moment you arrived to check-in, it felt like we were already friends even though we had only just met for the first time; when you checked-out we knew that we would remain long time friends.

During our circular tour in Ontario, we stayed for two days in the Tymparon Inn Kingston B&B. Don and Zoe gave us a warm, friendly welcome and made us immediate feel at home. Don was very helpful to overcome the bureaucratic and organize Judith’s suitcase, which was lost during the flight from Amsterdam to Toronto, to the B&B. The breakfast... More

It was indeed our pleasure to host your family from Amsterdam. We were glad we could help you track down your luggage that traveled half way around the world before arriving at our B&B.

Me and my wife always read Tripadvisor before making any reservations. That's what we did also looking for a place in Kingston. About 2 weeks ago we spent 3 nights at Tymparon Inn and everything turned out to be great. The owners of this B&B make you feel like you are staying at your close friends house. You learn a... More

The Tymparon Inn was the ideal place to stay for my friend and I before we took our cruise on the St. Lawrence Cruise Line from Kingston to Ottawa.

Experiences with B&B accommodations in Canada, the U.S. and the U.K. would allow the placement of The Tymparon Inn among the very best, if not actually the best. The facilities are superior, while the breakfast is a most delightful change from the usual cereal, juice and a fried egg. The hosts Zoe and Don are a most pleasant couple who... More
