“Wonderful boutique B&B with terrific service, owner/chef and location”

The bed and breakfast offers three rooms—a large bedroom, a junior suite, and a two-room suite—sits a half block from the main street and a few minutes’ walk to the harbor, and in my opinion is the place to stay. The owner and chef Juliearna, along with her team (big shout out to Lukas and Pima!), is the key to this B&B. Her meticulous attention to room layout, the people she hires and trains, the excellent service they provide, and the food all make it a very enjoyable place to stay. Juliearna was Michelin‑trained in France and that shows. Both at breakfast (French omelets) and dinner (she mentioned she might stop doing dinners as it’s a bit much after all these years and she has other businesses…see my separate review of the restaurant…which I highly recommend if she is still doing it). We booked a large suite (the modern suite), which had a very large living room and a separate bedroom. Both rooms were nicely and functionally appointed. It also had a balcony (shared with the room next door) that was nice to relax on. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was very large with a huge walk‑in shower and a huge bathtub. Electrical outlets were conveniently located throughout and plentiful for all our gadgets (not all hotels or B&Bs have them conveniently located). Parking at the rear was available and free. Breakfast was delicious and huge (more than we could eat). Freshly baked croissants, yogurt, a fruit bowl, omelet if you wanted, muesli (was more like granola than muesli) or cereal, juice, coffee and several other items. Website photos accurately represent the B&B, rooms, etc. I would highly recommend staying at Escape to Picton. I want to mention that overall, this was a really great place to stay. That said, a few suggestions: the price to value is a bit much. It was a large room and nice, but a tad higher than I would have expected for what it was (although the amazing breakfast made up for some of it). I don’t know the prices of comparable places in Picton (or if there are even any comparable) I had some problems with the internet going in and out. They likely needed to reboot the gateway (not just the Wi‑Fi as I had a strong Wi‑Fi signal). While I asked the person there to check it, I don’t think they knew how to reset the gateway (vs Wi‑Fi). There were no blackout shades. There are wood shutters, but shutters don’t keep the morning light out the same as some blackout shades or drapes. I am someone who needs complete darkness to sleep so the light wakes me up early. There was no AC. It did get a bit warm in the afternoon and we had to open the windows…which let bugs in…so we closed them after dusk, which meant it was still a bit warm. The bathroom, while very large, could have used more counter space (I used the edge of the bathtub).

“A perfect little escape”

I was blown away by this hotel's beauty and luxury. It felt like a real treat to stay here - the decor was stunning, and the atmosphere was top-notch. The only thing that would've made it better was if they'd included a few more amenities, but overall, it was a great experience.

This boutique hotel in Picton exceeded my expectations in every way. The location was perfect, and the hotel itself was cozy and welcoming, like a home away from home. The food was delicious, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. If you're staying in Picton for a night or two, this is definitely the place to be.
