Our stay at the Dalvay was fantastic. The hotel is beautiful and the staff was so friendly and accomodating. The restaurant was equally as good and I highly recommend trying the chicken dinner and chowder. The hotel grounds were so peaceful. I highly recommend this hotel.

Is definitely a place where you step back in time. The woodwork and the furniture are such an experience because it’s all very 1800s early 1900 setting. The preparation of the food and the presentation is absolutely wonderful. It is not your traditional motel it’s a hotel with a time stamped flare.

Location is amazing! Area beautiful. Staff great. Amenities are expensive. Dust hanging from fans. Windows are mouldy and ill fitting. Furnishings are tired. Everything needs painting and TLC. Outside pathways are pitch black. There is a balance between historic/romantic and safe/practical. Dalvay needs to find that balance.

Good scenic place. Need to focus more on deep cleaning, ac filter full of dust probably never cleaned, had to request cleaning as not good for allergies. Better idea have ac installed in windows as less noisy. Windows had spiders and other insects between panes, over all windows etc. need thorough deep cleaning. Rest of the room seemed ok in terms of cleaning.

A beautiful heritage building, warm and welcoming! Staff were pleasant and helpful, the restaurant was great. Just a great vibe in an old building with lots of history in a beautiful location in the park. Enjoyed the large fireplace in the entry. The grounds are beautiful too.

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.

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.
