Official Description (provided by the hotel):: Dalvay-By-The-Sea, a National Historic Site of Canada, is an elegant Queen Anne Revival home built in 1895 by a Scottish-American oil tycoon.

There are 25 guest rooms; all are largely furnished in period antiques and all rooms offer a four-piece private bath. Each of our rooms is singular and unique.

“Times have changed”

Reviewed 6 April 2013

I stayed at Dalvay twice: once in 1972 and again in 1973. At that time, the place was run by a French couple (husband and wife from Lyons and Geneva). The price was (drum roll, please!) $17/day --- and that INCLUDED three meals a day. The food then was excellent. The rooms were old-fashioned but comfortable. No TV or radio,... More

Problem with this review?

Thank you for your recent comments regarding Dalvay By The Sea. We believe that Dalvay is the ideal location to disconnect and unwind from the stresses of the world, and though, indeed, there are no telephones in our accommodations, we do offer complimentary wi-fi throughout the resort, along with televisions in our cottages for those who desire to stay connected....

“Huge disappointment”

Reviewed 9 October 2012

We discovered the Dalvay several years ago and really looked forward to returning for a stay at this beautiful place. What a disappointment. Our $225 room was tiny and outdated with trash in the wastebasket from the previous guests. There was only one night table/reading light, a big minus for those of us who enjoy reading in bed at night,... More

“Maybe in days of yore”

Reviewed 23 September 2012

Dalvay by the Sea is perfectly located on the National Seashore of PEI and presents a very elegant exterior. That is the end of the good things we have to stay. For $225 per night, we were stuck in a third floor dormer room (no elevator, tho baggage help available), with "antique" furniture (the door on the dresser did not... More

“beautiful setting but outdated property”

Reviewed 20 September 2012

we were booked into another property for four nites but because of a forced closure(for health reasons) of the property we were booked into this one for two nites and had to then move to Charlottetown to a Holiday Inn Express for the last two nites. The Dalvey is an old fashioned hotel with a very dated look and is... More

“Good For Some, But Not All”

If you have ever read my reviews in the past, you will know that I never tell people to stay somewhere, or not to stay somewhere. That's your own choice. I will however give you tips and let you know what to expect. The location is very off the beaten trail, and it is right across the street from the... More

“Dalvay By The Sea ( and little else)”

Reviewed 10 September 2012

My wife and I just returned from a seven day vacation to Prince Edward Island. We chose to stay at Dalvay By The Sea due primarily to its incredible location (inside the boundaries of the PEI National Park), and the lovely old world style guest house ( luscious wood paneling and three gigantic stone fireplaces on the first floor). These... More

“old world charm”

We stayed here for only a night but we loved it here. You can smell the fireplace the second you walk in the door and also the moment you open your room door. The place has a grand and rustic feel to it, which reminded me of the Mohonk Mountain House in NY state. The grounds are really nice and... More

We have stayed at Dalvay a few times before, both with and without the kids, and eaten in the dining room many times before. This stay was to be a family end of summer treat. We stayed for three nights. Unfortunately we did not know it is under new management and we were quite disappointed in the change. On a... More
