We chose the Devonshire Inn because we wanted to be by the lake and the rooms looked cozy on-line. Overall, we were happy with the choice. The room we were in was small (waterfall room), but hearing the rushing creek was lovely. I would have liked there to have been two chairs in the room so we could both sit... More

The Devonshire Inn was a very pleasant surprise. Great rooms, friendly staff, outstanding food. The mixed reviews that we read in advance made us slightly apprehensive, but we have nothing but high praise for this little inn after our short stay. The entire staff went out of their way to please us, including changing their planned menus (I had casually... More

My husband & I stayed here in August, 2011 for 2 nights. We found it to be very comfortable and charming. Service: exceptional - pretty much every staff person we encountered treated us as if we were family - they went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and never hesitated to provide great service! Room: large &... More

We stayed at the Inn a few weeks' ago and we underwhelmed. For an Inn that boasts about being pet friendly, they leave a lot to be desired. When I called to make the reservation I was greeted by much hesitation and questions as to what breed my dog was, the size, etc. Actually made to feel very unwelcome. Had... More

This is so cliché, but I LOVED MY STAY HERE! I stayed in the Creekside Room (room #1) and it was perfect. It's very small, but the bed was like heaven, the windows fill up almost the entire wall and it overlooks a little creek and beautiful trees. If you keep the window open, you can also hear the waves... More

A total gemm of a place to stay. Very friendly attentive staff. The best nights sleep I've ever had in their Queen size bed with their thick Pacific Coast down duvet. Lovely and relaxing to just sit on the beach in a wooden chair or stroll through the cool stream which trickles into Lake Ontario. Good food. Had breakfast and... More

Only had a meal and were extremely disappointed. Way overpriced for what we were served. The service was great as was the setting on the patio overlooking the lake but we were thinking of going to a chip truck when we left. The scallop appetizer was $12 for two scallops and a bit of corn, my main course of pickerel... More

Wellington is a quiet town, and this is a big old house on the lakefront. The restaurant is top notch and worth the money. The Inn itself is an attempt at the lush country style. The room was large enough, the bed was comfortable, and the style of decor was fine but relatively sterile. At this price point I expect... More

Whilst staying at a nearby Winery we wanted somewhere 'special' for a birthday meal. The Devonshire was recommended. The patio provided the perfect location and everything on the menu sounded really good. And it turned out to be just that. The staff were friendly and efficient - knowing just when to stay in the background and when to linger a... More
