Food was amazing 10/10, unfortunately it was cool in the dining room due to cooler outdoor temperatures, rank it higher than Michael Smith’s, it is a more quaint venue, definitely will RETURN and recommend it HIGHLY

Like stepping back in time

From the moment we stepped into the hotel we were greeted and taken care of by David and his team. The hotel is like stepping back in time to the type of inn you see in the movies, beautiful woodwork, classic styling and roaring fireplaces in the library and front entry. Whether enjoying tea and coffee in the morning of a glass of wine in the evening you don't even want to leave. Quiet, elegant and an excellent restaurant all on property.

Dalvay By The Sea overnight

A very pleasant single night stay in a place of historic origins. All staff we encountered were friendly, very attentive and knowledgeable about the history of the building, its original builders and past residents. Experiencing a century's step back in time within the original decor and ambiance and "old school" service was an extremely refreshing change from typical hotels. Being early in the summer season, we found the beach was nearly deserted for a late morning walk. Not to be missed if you have the opportunity, even if just for a refreshment or a meal. Reserve well ahead (months, not weeks) if you intend to stay during peak times.

Beautiful old property with lots of cachet

I've always wanted to stay at Dalvay by the sea and splurged for my bday. Beautiful old property with lots of cachet and some updates to bring it to today's standards (portable AC, power bar to add outlets, etc.). No TV but WiFi was available. It was cold for mi-June so the fireplaces were lit which made it cozy with plenty of spaces to sit and enjoy a glass, a book or a board game. We splurged on a delicious breakfast the next day. Our room on the second floor was spacious and comfy with a king bed. Sadly the bed frame needed some TLC because our heads were lower than our feet.

Very grand old hotel, staff very accommodating
Grant, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Pre-season visit for rest and relaxation.

Lots of history. Weather was not the greatest so any trip to the beach or outside activities were little to none. There are no televisions - so games, a laptop or other technology would be useful if trying to pass time or occupy the littles (if any). I was surprised there were no face cloths. Sometimes this is all we need so would save on hand and bath towels.

We had a great stay at the Dalvay. The smell of the wood burning fireplaces greets you when you walk into the hotel. If you are looking to experience the charm of yesteryear this is the place for you.

Absolutely stunning place. I don't usually care for Inn's but this was remarkable.
Sharon, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The huge house is exceptional architecturally and recalls a past era of fine country living. The dining facilities and food are first rate;. the property is well kept and features its own lake ; broad verandahs overlook garden and croquet areas. The many rooms are comfortable and well decorated while varying greatly in size and view.. I will visit again and stay longer.

Wonderful hotel on Prince Edward Island

The ambience was lovely, sitting in big comfortable chairs or sofas in front of a fire that was kept replenished with firewood all day and night. The setting is gorgeous. This was the most relaxing part of our trip. I could have stayed much longer. The staff went the extra mile to be helpful. The owner (operator) was most gracious.
