Edward Country is renowned for its unspoiled countryside, historic
villages, broad white beaches and genuine hospitality. The Waring
House Inn's meeting and conference facilities are at the heart of
this landscape, segregated from urban life and yet well supplied
with contemporary business facilities. Meeting space includes the
Waring Hall, which seats up to 200 people, as well as several other
heritage rooms suitable for smaller groups. The Waring House will
appeal to meeting groups who desire a tranquil setting within a
convenient drive from Toronto, Montreal, Kingston and New York
State.
The Waring House is a lovingly restored and renovated
nineteenth-century farmstead that includes guest rooms, meeting
spaces, two dining rooms, a popular pub with evening entertainment,
and an active hands-on cookery school. All spaces are decorated with
antiques and accents that create a true "old Ontario"
atmosphere.

Regional
Highlights |
The Waring House
Inn |
| |
Prince Edward County appears custom designed for back road
explorations. Picton and surrounding villages, such as Wellington,
Bloomfield and Cherry Valley, have picturesque main streets with
scores of art galleries, artisan studios and antique shops. Because
this is United Empire Loyalist country, there are many local history
museums and pioneer villages worth visiting. Picton, the regal
county seat, is home to the Regent Theatre, a beautifully restored
facility that hosts live theatre year-round. The Millennium Trail
passes close to the Waring House and is popular for walking and
jogging.
Sandbanks Provincial Park is visited for its sparkling white beaches
and sand dunes (the largest freshwater dunes in the world), and is
known for excellent windsurfing conditions. Farther from shore,
scuba divers visit sunken shipwrecks and sailors play with the
active Great Lakes winds.
