Manoir Hovey - North Hatley, Quebec

Angela O.

Manoir Hovey is a jewel. The hotel's setting cannot be beat with outstanding views on the lake and the woods all around and the sounds of nature to accompany it all. The new Lakehouse Pavillion is absolutely beautiful and no expense was spared on the incredibly comfortable and luxurious rooms. The food in the main dining room was refined, delicious and a true experience for all the senses. All the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back!

My husband and I spent two glorious days at Hovey Manor. The resort, situated on beautiful Lake Massawippi, is absolutely stunning. Every public room is carefully curated. Our room overlooked the lake and had a large balcony. The room was nicely appointed with lots of amenities. Hotel management and staff are extremely welcoming. Particular mention goes to Khalid, who upon learning that this was our first visit, personally took us on a tour of the property and then brought us to our room. If we needed to know where something was, the staff didn’t just tell us where it was, they took us there. The gym, while not clearly marked, has good quality equipment. We ate at both of the resort’s restaurants. The Tap Room has a lovely terrace. We ate outside with the magnificent view of the lake. For the most part, the service and food were very good. It took quite a long time to be seated, but once we were at our table, the wait staff were very attentive. The food was very good, but not great. While I thoroughly enjoyed the scallops, my husband was disappointed with the lamb, that was unevenly cooked. However, our meal at Le Hatley was extraordinary. Every dish was unique and with just one bite of each, we knew we were experiencing something very special. The fois gras appetizer and the scallop appetizer were truly excellent, as were the veal duo entree and the sterling beef. The cheese course was divine. The wine list has a good selection of wines by the glass. The servers were very professional and charming. All in all, perfect August weather, a beautiful resort, and delicious food, made for a wonderful mini vacation in the beautiful Eastern Townships.

There are some lovely points about Manoir Hovey, but it can be best described as inconsistent. It was a friends trip who travel frequently and our expectations did not match. The check in process was okay, but would have expected a tour around the property to explain where everything was located (pool, spa, tennis courts, gym - found out about the tennis courts and gym in our third day) prior to escorting us to our cottage (Heron Suite) which is in a lovely location away from the main hotel. We were not advised about walking paths from the main hotel up to the suite, later discovering it rather than walking around fair distance around via the road, that there was a much simpler route.||The Heron Suite can be best described clean but forgotten. Decor is tired, there is a burn through one of the drapes from a previous guest, furniture is well worn. Kitchen is missing items (ie two king sized bedrooms) and only two forks, no bowls, two plates. Coffee pods/tea were set up for two. ||We attempted to use room service, but quickly ascertained that it was really not up to Relais & Chateaux standards. Having clearly mentioned that the cheese platter and charcuterie plate was serving three people, they delivered two sets of cutlery and a dismal looking offering from the charcuterie (image attached). At that point we decided to make a run for the local Metro grocery store in Magog for the remainder of our stay, which has an amazing selection of cheese/pate. ||We dined once for breakfast at the Tap Room and twice for dinner. The last night we had great service, first two times were inconsistent.||The absolute highlight of our stay at Manoir Hovey was the GEM of a spa. Services were excellent, enjoyed a massage and a facial, and the facial was one of the best I have ever had!!! And the spa is beautiful.

We stayed at Manoir Hovey for our honeymoon in late September, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The property is absolutely beautiful, with the lake and surrounding countryside creating an idyllic setting that feels both peaceful and romantic. Our lakeside room was spotless and modern, and having a private porch directly on the water made it even more special—we spent so much time just enjoying the view.

The restaurants on-site were outstanding, with food and service that matched the elegance of the setting. Every detail felt thoughtful and refined, and the entire stay was seamless from start to finish. Manoir Hovey is the kind of place that makes a special occasion truly unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Have wanted to go here since reading about it in 2019. It was worth the wait. Surely one of the most beautiful resorts we have visited. The food was absolutely superb. Our room, the building where we were and all of the amenities were first rate. The lake is gorgeous. Each member of the staff was welcoming and helpful in every way. This resort deserves the accolades it has received over the years.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The spa was awesome on a -17C day with its heated outdoor pools. The tasting menu with wine pairing was great and worthy of Michelin honorable mention. The Tap Room food was also outstanding.

A lovely get away! For utmost privacy we recommend room 48/Heron Suite. Up on top of hill, we used stairs or walked but staff is happy to transport you. Outdoor hottub and semi private pool were great amenities. Also allows for easier parking which was a bit more crowded near main building. Staff was always willing to assist. Be aware of day trippers which do add to volume of folks dining and walking, and I highly recommend a conversation with concierge prior to arrival to ask about what is possible or you might not know and book everything in advance as they were very busy. We had a lovely day trip with Vincent and a pontoon boat ride with champagne and driver (Ben) which were highlights of our stay. We chatted with many guests who return year after year. Eating at the pub was our favorite to take advantage of outside dining, staff was always lovely.

There’s a good reason Manoir Hovey is consistently ranked the #1 hotel in Canada year after year it truly rivals some of the best resorts in the world. From its breathtaking lakeside setting to its refined accommodations, outstanding food, and impeccable service, this place delivers on every level. This summer, we stayed in the Cartier Cabin, right on the water private, serene, and beautifully appointed. Waking up to the sound of the lake, surrounded by nature, is a feeling that stays with you long after you leave. The culinary experience was exceptional the tasting menus were thoughtful, creative, and deeply satisfying. Every bite felt like a celebration. The spa added a peaceful, luxurious pause to our days. And the views? Simply unmatched. What sets Manoir Hovey apart isn’t just the top-tier facilities or the world-class cuisine though those alone are hard to beat it’s the people. The staff are what elevate this experience into something truly unforgettable. It's a place that strikes the rare balance between formal elegance and genuine warmth. Every interaction feels sincere, every detail thoughtfully handled. After visiting since 2003 and staying in different rooms over the years, this hotel continues to exceed expectations. It stands head and shoulders above any other resort of its kind in Canada and beyond. We’re already planning our return. Manoir Hovey is not just a hotel it’s a destination for the soul.
