RUGBY GARDENS is a wonderful bed and breakfast. The house is a beautiful well maintained Victorian that is situated on a quiet tree lined street. It is within walking distance to high end shops and restaurants. The hosts are extremely helpful and offer a delicious breakfast for their guests. The bedrooms are on the third floor and offer privacy and... More

The location is great--very close to the subway and a bunch of good places to eat. The house itself is a great older place, maintained like new. Sue and Michael were great hosts, and we had a good time; easy coming and going, comfortable beds...the whole package. We recommend it strongly. More

Rugby Gardens is close to my son's apartment in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn. The location is great--close to Cortelyou Rd, close to the subway, in a lovely neighborhood. Sue makes her guests feel at home and serves a magnificent breakfast. I'll be back! More

It is a charming house with nice period detail. The neighborhood is lovely with each house looking different. It is close to a shopping area with... More

This was our first stay at Rugby Gardens and certainly not our last. Great home, great hosts and a very convenient location for train access to the city. The city of Brooklyn also has some great restaurants to choose from, all within walking distance. A great alternative to the busy NYC scene. Would recommend to all. Thanks again Sue and... More

I have enjoyed my stays over the years, just always seem to forget to review for others. The why of enjoyment has to do with the people. Sue & Michael open their home with such joy. They share with guests their family (Ruby), their grace and wit, their stories and caring. It is very close to restaurants, stores, and subway.... More
