Cozy Honeymoon

We really loved staying here for our honeymoon. The whole experience was very peaceful, quiet and cozy. The building itself was amazing to stay in, such a well preserved piece of history. The room had stunning views, was so comfortable and very clean! Staff were very kind and always made sure everything we needed was there. Had breakfast and dinner in the restaurant, which was delicious. Very helpful and accommodating for food sensitivities. One of our favourite things to do was to relax by the fireplace. Can’t wait for our next visit already!!

We loved this Inn! Impeccable staff, grand interior, lovely food/dining. We enjoyed having coffee in the library in the morning and reading before breakfast. A wonderful stay! My only minor note is that in the upstairs wing where we stayed, the walls are pretty thin so you can hear others.

It was a great stay until the front desk charge the dinner and breakfast twice. When I checked out, I paid those by cash, however she charged those via my credit card as well. I asked her to cancel and she said she would do however it did appear on my card bill now.

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.
