...The Cobblestone Inn (Hotel on the Bay Street) is right in the heart of Kingstown and just a few blocks from the Ferry terminal

The Cobblestone Inn dates back to1814, it was constructed in the Georgian style of architecture favored at the time

Built originally as a waterfront warehouse for sugar, the idea of restoring the building and converting it into a hotel required extensive renovation.
