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.

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Samantha, 1-night trip

Great setting and location. Short walk to beautiful PEI beach. Friendly staff. A charming building with a great porch, lobby and library lounge. Highly recommended.
Paul, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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!

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.
William, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!

Unaware there was no tv on the property. Staff were excellent. And so were the lovely geese. So very sweet.
