    ...Casual restaurant: A A shining star. The Maitre d' could offer a master class in warmly welcoming guests to make them feel special... Room: B- A superior room was the best available when we reserved, which seemed ok when I was assured on the telephone it had a king bed, fireplace and balcony... Service outside of the dining rooms: This is Hovey's weak suit... I asked the front desk attendant for my car keys since we were going out for the day (construction necessitates giving your car keys to the desk)... She retrieved them and wordlessly slid the over the counter... We drove over to Ripplecove because we had seen it online... Within 5 minutes a staffer came out to ask us if we would like anything to eat or drink... A hot drink would have been welcome as the sun set, but we never saw a staff member and were never given the opportunity to request anything...

    Beautiful room, views, grounds, and fabulous meals, drinks and service... We booked this room for an anniversary getaway and were so glad that we did... Even though the weather was sometimes overcast or rainy, the location is so beautiful and the Manoir so relaxing that it did not matter at all...

    ...You would be hard pressed to find better anywhere. Very courteous, and they make sure everything is just right... You can see the chef/assistants picking fresh herbs etc... I do miss the breakfast buffet but we adjusted what we needed for the Discovery Plate... We took advantage of the new spa which is spectacular, and my daughter and I had incredible facials... The new pool is beautiful and the pool staff is again so nice...

    I discovered this gem property about 20 years ago and I consider myself fortunate to be a regular visitor. If you like a quiet lakeside manor with top notch hospitality and food you do not need to hop on a plane and travel to England or France... Save your airplane fare and stay a few nights here!... At this time of year the lake water was warm and the new swimming pool and spa building are impressive...

    ...It is a bit out of the way but well worth a visit because of the exceptional service and features... For me it was just a great destination with one on the most exceptional restaurant experiences in North America... Go to be pampered with exceptional service throughout the property or just for the outstanding food experience... We did not leave enough time so we will be back to swim in the beautiful pool and take advantage of the newly built spa... For a place in a country setting there really is so much to do that you need to stay at least two or three nights and we will be back to do that soon!...

    ...We stayed for 3 nights and had a wonderful experience... We arrived late and were taken directly to our room and helped with our bags... We had dinner in both dining areas, the servers and staff at Le Hatley restaurant and Tap Room pub were friendly, knowledgeable and efficient... We stayed in one of the older lodges and had an incredible view of the lake... It was cold outside but we still tried to have a coffee on the deck... The room was big, well appointed and clean... I think certain things could do with a little refresh, like the shower taps were a bit hard to work and the bed was a little sunken in the middle... The cleaning staff did a great job and we loved the little touches like chocolate on our pillows and the note with the weather...

    ...From the parking attendant, to the front desk and restaurant staff, their eagerness to provide outstanding service is evident. The whole setting, including the spacious room and bath, is a wonderful mixture of cozy warmth and country elegance... We loved the balcony off our room, and the comfortable sitting area... We enjoyed an exquisite dining experience in Le Hatley restaurant... The staff were extremely attentive and engaging, without being intrusive... The dishes were sumptuous, and the presentation was mouthwatering...

    ...I stayed in standard, superior and deluxe rooms and they are all comfortable and beautiful... You can sleep soundly and not hear anything even when their hotel is full... In March and November of last year, the concierge M. Blais prepared for us itineraries for us so we could visit some of the region's more interesting points... Thank you to Manoir Hovey for making her feel safe...

    There is only one word how to describe Manoir Hovey in a nutshell: Superb! Starting with the location on beautiful lake Massawippi, a magnificently maintained majestic building with spacious elegant rooms, that are very cosy and clean ( we had the very bright room nr... 39), beautifully decorated for Christmas, two exceptional restaurants on a high gastronomical level with very creative menus (and best pâté fois gras outside of France) and expansive wine list ( very knowledgeable sommeliers and sommelière)...

    We stayed on a Friday and Saturday night in a luxury room on the top floor. The room, bedding and amenities are all top notch... The weather was outstanding for early November so we enjoyed our lakefront balcony all weekend... We dined in the Taproom for all our meals except breakfast which is served in the main dining room... All our meals were fantastic along with the exceptional service by everyone we encountered.. All this made for a very memorable weekend...

    ...Our room, the Oriole Suite, was spectacular. Beautifully appointed, comfortable bed, the shower and tub were spa worthy, nice extra “touches” like chocolates on the pillow, bathrobes and a hot tub, too... The restaurant provided impeccable service and the food was delicious... The staff, at every level, was gracious, friendly and attentive... We cannot say enough good things about this place!...

    ...Overall look and feel: A+ Fine dining restaurant: A Superb food with uber professional service in a drably beige room... Room: B- A superior room was the best available when we reserved, which seemed ok when I was assured on the telephone it had a king bed, fireplace and balcony... It was very nicely appointed, but only "manageable" at best for two people... Service outside of the dining rooms: This is Hovey's weak suit... Within 5 minutes a staffer came out to ask us if we would like anything to eat or drink... When we returned to MH, we sat outside the library in lawn chairs to enjoy the late afternoon sun and stayed almost two hours... A hot drink would have been welcome as the sun set, but we never saw a staff member and were never given the opportunity to request anything... R&C properties are typically on top of these details... Manoir Hovey is the upmarket option in the area and staying here is not a mistake...

    My wife and I had a fabulous two-night stay this past weekend... And yet, the service was even better, and the bedrooms were also wonderful... We stayed in the Montcalm Suite, and I recommend it without reservation... It is comfortable and quiet (it is in a small separate building next to the main hotel), and offers both a large private deck with a fabulous view and a large screen porch...

    ...The staff greeted us warmly at every turn... We were upgraded to a small cottage outside of the main hotel... The room was very clean, cozy, and well-maintained... The heating/cooling worked surprisingly well given the large size and high ceilings of the room... We had dinner in the casual restaurant, which was wonderful... Our included breakfast was both delicious and enormous... I can’t imagine anyone leaving hungry from their breakfast tables... We were lucky to have a burst of good weather in October, but it was still too cool to enjoy the many outdoor activities and facilities...

The Inn gives an old world vibe. The rooms are on the small side and some are a hike with no elevator. Difficult for two old geezers in their 80’s but the views were phenomenal. The staff are the unsung heroes. They carry luggage park your car and bring it back warmed up and dusted off. They are at the ready for recommendations and directions. The main dining room is excellent and quite elegant. The Pub is a wonderful respite or an excellent choice for dinner if you want a lighter meal. Have been here many times before and will visit again and again!

The white clapboard clad Manoir Hovey is a 5 star property that cuddles the shores of Lake Massawippi, bounded by North Hatley and is less than an hour from Montreal. This is a chance to discover the soul of 'living well' as travelers are rewarded with stunning views, historical architecture and waterfront activities. My smartly composed Spa Suite was a beautiful dwelling with gigantic windows affording a countryside view. It came outfitted with a desk, curio ladened floating shelves, a living space decked out with a sofa, coffee table & chair and a fireplace paired with an over-the-top TV. The bath was gorgeous with separate glass enclosed shower and soaking tub that was perched under a window. Fixtures were in a dazzling bronze. Manoir has 2 restaurant venues. Restaurant Le Hatley is the properties fine dining establishment serving locally sourced Quebec food fare. After hoofing through the menu I opted for the Homemade Pasta .............delicious, and for dessert, it was the Strawberries & Rhubarb.....equally delicious. The Tap Room is a bistro-styled restaurant in a cozy setting. It offers a changing year-round menu that includes namesake dishes such as stuffed quail and smoked trout. I would have been remiss to leave Quebec without a feed of the Tap Room's poutine. The pinnacle perk of the Manoir is the Spa. A voluminous space, it comes with all the spa 'bells and whistles' and a comprehensive array of services. So, if you want to experience nature without sacrificing good food & accommodations...............then try the .................Manoir Hovey........................... ...........elegant silence with creature comforts.

This is a unique experience in a quiet area on the water. Lots of lovely ambience. We came in the fall so missed the summer lake fun but enjoyed the foliage and quiet. We particularly want to praise Nidal who went out of his way to help us when we had an issue with our room. The food at both restaurants is fantastic and service is excellent. The spa has recently been finished and is beautiful with views of the lake and hot and cold experiences as well as treatments. Also appreciated the new 4 season pool and hot tub. Fun to see where some of the Louise Penny novels are set as well!

They are excellent examples of friendly, hard working people who know how to look after their hotel guests and ensure they have a relaxing stay at Hovey Manor. As well, the room, service and food were simply excellent (as always).

this is the epitome of what makes Relais and Chateau stays so fabulous. From the moment we arrived until we sadly had to depart we enjoyed wonderful, intuitive service and never had a need that was not already anticipated. The meals were superfine. Breakfast was most definitely worth waking up for and dinners were outstanding and of Michelin star quality without the fuss. Very pretty spot with plenty to see and do in the area. Would return in a heartbeat
