Excellent hospitality. One of the most charming places I’ve stayed. If back in the area, wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. The smell of firewood fills the place in the most comforting way. It was clean, quiet, and full of old world charm.

Staying at Dalvay was a dream 40 years in the making and it did not disappoint! The property is as idyllic as the setting. The rooms are well-appointed and the common areas are as cozy as home, with a crackling fire burning all day. The staff are clearly passionate about what they do. I cannot say enough about this beautiful place. I would give it 10 stars!

Our stay at Dalvay by the Sea Hotel was magical! The property was incredible, the staff was lovely, and the room was clean and comfortable. We ate at the restaurant twice (dinner and breakfast) and both were WELL worth it. We would return in a heartbeat!

This property was once an amazing home for a wealthy family. It is 100+ years old and still very impressive but it should be a museum or a restaurant not a hotel. It is in very poor rundown condition. There are no elevators which is hard if you are put on the third floor. In the room, there are no coffee makers, no mini fridge, no clock, no tv, no ac. Paint is peeling on all the woodwork, difficult to open the door as the rug is higher than the door bottom. Ice machine was broken, hot water takes 10 minutes of running the tap. Any renos that were once done were done on the cheap not consistent with the original quality that the house was built. The bed was comfortable. The staff was very nice. It was a big disappointment. This place could be made great but sadly it is not.

Beautiful, historic building. No elevators, no TVs, no coffee in rooms. Just not my idea of a place to stay. Not very sound proof. Close to beach. My opinion

I cant say enough about how nice the property is and the staff is friendly. Walking the grounds down the the lake was really nice and a short walk to the beach for viewing a sunset tops off the evening. You can then come back to the Inn to enjoy a drink by one of their fireplaces.

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.

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.
