I had a fantastic time exploring the Bellevue House this past weekend! All of the staff onsite are outstanding. They are highly knowledgeable and incredibly friendly. It’s clear that they want every person who visits to have the best experience possible. I thoroughly enjoyed learning all sorts of interesting facts about the history of the house (i.e., specific ways the house was designed to appear more lavish than it really was) and exploring the beautiful garden (i.e., kiss-me-over-the-garden-gate, lamb’s ear). Thank you to all of the lovely ladies at the house and visitor’s centre – you made it a wonderful experience for me. 😊

I got to be the first public to see the newly renovated house after renovations. It is the most beautiful historical home I’ve ever visited and it felt like a real home unlike some historical homes that feel shells of their former selves. This was one of my favourite parts of my trip to Kingston. The staff is extremely friendly and well educated on the property and the history of the time and are willing to answer any questions you have about the home.

The house is now under renovation. However, you can explore the historical gardens and small museum inside the visitor center free of charge. Museum’s staff is super welcoming and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure to find out a history of the house in a very entertaining way. We will come back once Bellevue House will reopen its doors to the public.

Interesting old place to visit. The house is under renovation when I visited and it was free entree. The people are so good inside. There is a free tea coffee with chance to taste the food grown in yard organic. There are toys displayed that were remade to look like how toys were then. There is a pretty old tree in the back yard. Worth watching!!

Took a great tour through this property. We were there in the summer months where there are guided tours, all in costume from the correct time period. There was a lot of valuable information presented by our guide who was very good. I would suggest paying the nominal amount to get the guided tour as it made it much more enjoyable.

The place is very nice. The best part is Parks Canada has really preserved the antiques. The staff is also very nice, helpful and decent.
