Nice area but I didn’t get the cottage that I requested. The beds are hard, the water pressure in the shower was sub par and the suites are tiny. Would definitely not stay here again. Walls are paper thin and I got woken up by the next room three times during the night, awful.

Dear Diana,Thank you for choosing to stay at Dewar's Inn and Cottages. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you experienced during your stay.After booking your room through another platform, you contacted us to request a change to a cottage. However, by that time, all our cottages and scenic rooms were fully booked. We regret that we were unable to accommodate your request.Upon your arrival, our management staff personally explained the situation and promised to prioritize your request for a cottage during your next visit. You expressed satisfaction with your room and appreciated the small gifts we provided. However, later that night around 11:00 PM, you called the office to report that your neighbors were too noisy, preventing you from sleeping. Our duty staff immediately addressed the issue and found that the neighboring guests were excessively loud due to alcohol consumption. Although our rooms are equipped with double-layer soundproofing, loud disturbances caused by intoxicated guests can still be disruptive. We managed to resolve the situation, and the guests agreed to stop making noise. We hope you were able to rest well after 11:00 PM.We understand your frustration and recommend booking a cottage directly in the future. As our cottages and scenic rooms are in high demand, early booking will better ensure your needs are met.We warmly invite you to continue choosing Dewar's Inn and Cottages for your future travels, whether for vacation or a stopover. The clean and comfortable room you stayed in has been highly praised by many professionals, including doctors. In addition to our competitive rates, our rooms are well-equipped, including mattresses and bathroom facilities updated two years ago, private bathrooms, quiet air conditioning (with fireplaces for winter), comfortable sofas, multi-channel TVs, refrigerators, toasters, and coffee makers. We also offer free breakfast, high-speed Wi-Fi, and convenient parking. Our prime location is another significant advantage.Many middle-aged and senior guests choose to vacation here multiple times a year, enjoying the convenience, tranquility, beauty, and attentive service.Please let us know when you book your next stay, and we might have a pleasant surprise prepared for you!Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience and sincerely thank you for your understanding and support.Sincerely,The Management Team at Dewar's Inn and Cottages

I enjoy staying at this Inn when I return to the area to visit with family and friends. The riverfront property has incredible views of the St. Lawrence River, and the gardens are well maintained and quite lovely. The regular rooms in the main building are comfortable and very clean. The bathroom in my room was a bit small, but it was no problem for one guest. A continental breakfast in a very sunny room with views of the River awaits you in the morning, and it didn’t disappoint. I had my coffee on the boardwalk, by the river’s edge.

Little out-of-the-way gem!
Adequate, but mattress too firm to be comfortable. (Could use a mattress topper for better quality sleep.) No light at entrance... switch was for ??? Had to move a lamp to the top surface of the entry 'closet' area, to be able to see what I was doing. No creamers for morning coffee. Only packets of 'non-dairy whitener'. Buy yourself a small carton of cream or milk before settling in, if you like your morning coffee with either. No dishes except paper, including coffee cups. Microwave turntable did NOT turn! (So had scorched paper coffee/tea cups.) Little corner gas fireplace a lovely, cozy touch! Rustic and sweet!! Good water pressure, and terrific views, even at this time of year (winter)!! Good value. Nice and quiet, so peaceful and serene--excellent for my business purposes. Enjoyed my stay.

The location and view were awesome. The Bed needed to be more comfortable. Updates to the cottage would have made the whole experience worth future bookings but unfortunately it was not up to date. Replacing the shower heads is a simple cost effective change to make having a shower under a low pressure better.

This property has a beautiful garden & boardwalk along the water. The moon was shining on the calm water the night that we stayed at Dewar's - it was beautiful! The breakfast included homemade muffins, which were delicious. The buildings/rooms are a littler older, but the extras (as mentioned above) make up for it. The room we stayed in was very clean and had dishes, cutlery and the fridge had its own little freezer, which was great for our ice packs and ice cubes.
