Rugby Gardens
-
Rugby Gardens - built in 1903 by the architect Ackerson, who developed the area as summer homes for rich and famous Manhattanites. If you have seen our page before you'll notice that we've changed the colors on the outside of the house! Taking the pallette from the painter Maxfield Parrish.
Feel free to enjoy your breakfast out back, or just sit and read at the end of the day!
The Rugby Queen Room boasts Morroccan hand painted side tables, a beautiful Persian rug, antique oak carved furniture, and a great view of Rugby Road - often used as the backdrop for movies and TV shows. There's a chenille side chair where you can curl up and read at the end of the day.
Our cozy sunroom is enclosed by leaded glass windows and doors that lead to our family dining room. You might catch yourself daydreaming as you look out at our seasonal water garden. Help yourself to our abundant Continental Breakfast before you head out for the day!
The Garden View Room looks out over our beautiful and restful water garden. You can hear the bamboo softly shifting in a light breeze. We offer a peaceful space with a unique Persian Rug, Maple Arts & Crafts furniture, and handmade side tables - all the comforts of home.

Rugby Gardens is a beautiful, eclectic Victorian home in Brooklyn's Historic Flatbush. Just around the corner from the subway, you can find yourself in Manhattan in around 30 minutes! Once there, take advantage of everything New York is famous for - food, theater, museums, music, great shopping - the list goes on and on. Rugby Gardens sits on a beautiful Sycamore lined street. You can relax on our front porch swing, or our back yard which has the feeling of a naturalized water garden. Our third floor accomodations are comfortable and newly decorated. We offer air conditioning as well as fans, cable TV, 100% cotton high thread count linens, and wireless high speed internet should you bring your laptop. There is a lovely breakfast area on the main floor for our guests, and we offer a continental breakfast.

November 14, 2009
We stayed in Rugby Gardens for 4 days in October 2009. The home is very lovely, and Sue couldn't be a more gracious hostess. It's very quiet, and approximately 2 minutes walking distance from the subway. This will be the first place I will check for availability the next time I come to New York!

We were thrilled to stay at such a homey, convenient and pleasant bed and breakfast right in the heart of a Brooklyn neighborhood, Victorian Flatbush. Sitting on the porch swing late at night was a highlight. Breakfast was superb.

We enjoyed very much our stay at Rugby Gardens. A comfortable and quiet place to rest after days full of activity. The rooms were great and we enjoyed the breakfast and chats with Sue and Michael. We can only recommend Rugby Gardens to New York visitors.

The Rugby Gardens is the most welcoming and comfortable B&B we have ever stayed in, it was more like staying at my aunt's house (no offence Sue, I'm only 24)!!!! I would recommend this B&B a thousand times over! The breakfast is brilliant, I thought you couldnt get a cup of tea and a chat in the morning in NY!
