• ...a rare remainder of old-fashioned grace on the north shore of Canada's Prince Edward Island.
• ...a beach as ravishing as any South Sea strand, backed up by a gently cultivated land as mellow as Olde England.
• And by some little miracle, all this has survived nearly unchanged for modern (paying) guests.
• The kitchen is about the only part of the hotel that's left the past entirely behind. It is considered one of the island's best...

This intimate resort is on a quiet stretch of beach. The Tudor mansion was built by a business partner of John D. Rockefeller, and the woodwork alone is enough to keep you entertained during your stay. Bring your bike. Read More

• Checking into Dalvay By The Sea Heritage Inn, the only hotel located inside Prince Edward Island National Park, I could tell right away it was just the kind of property that would spoil me - with ocean views, delectable seafood and impeccable service"
• The majestic Queen-Anne style hotel with its steep gables and numerous dormer windows is located a stone's throw from the beach
• "This is the best place ever" I said, not accustomed to such first class treatment... "
• It's very Gatsby, isn't it? (says bartender Scott)
• Seated at nearby chairs, holidaying couples chatted and laughed, cocktails in hand. The scene struck me me as one right out of the 1920's or ' 30's
• ...(and) while its location is certainly ideal, I think what struck me most was Dalvay's level of service.

Luxury! Located in the national park overlooking a quiet lake and across the road from an alluring stretch of beach. This Tudor fantasy, lavishly paneled with honey-coloured cedar, has an expansive lawn dotted with Adirondack chairs; the 26 guest rooms and 8 contemporary cottages are pleasantly furnished with summer cottage antiques and reproductions.

The dining room has a fabulous view of the water; early evening, it's a family atmosphere, couples dine later. Appetizers include steamed island mussels, pheasant terrine and asparagus veloute. Entrées include filet mignon, Atlantic Salmon and chicken stuffed with porcini mushrooms. Dalvay is famous for its Sticky Date pudding.
