This place is not for everyone and thats exactly why I love it!What a wonderful change of pace and scenery. The minute you walk into Manoir DYouville, you're immediately transported into a different era, a time warp if you will. I guess thats what happens when you decide to lodge at an ex-convent. As I was booking my stay, the initial plan was to find a modest priced room and being a solo traveler, a sense of safety. Turns out, not only were my needs met but so much more was offered to me. Unexpected gifts like simplicity, contemplation and quietness. As you walk down the main hallway you can learn and appreciate the history of the resort via an artistic narrative of the original founder Sainte Marguerite DYouville and her congregation of nuns, Les Soeurs Grises. You definitely get a sense of their lives as you walk the exterior grounds. You can find an original flour mill, an orchard, a little holy cave. The Manoir is surrounded by the St-Lawrence River, trees, and plenty of Adirondack chairs to sit your butt in and appreciate the beauty of tranquillity. Customer service was excellent and you can easily tell these people take much pride in their work, something we dont see everyday. So thanks! The complementary breakfast is simply outstanding. Hot, fresh and plenty of variety. It puts every single one of my free breakfast experiences to shame. The excellent food does a good job making you forget you dont have a bathroom or tv in your room. A communal lavatory is a stretch for me but it was clean. I was under the impression the bathrooms would be divided by gender but they were not. No awkwardness, creepiness or long waiting times to report. Keep in mind there is no a/c in your tiny room. Along with record breaking temperatures, it was hot as heck! The ceiling fan wasnt much help. Menopausal women beware :)I can certainly see why yoga groups, companies seeking a retreat location or anyone looking for serenity would flock to this place as the vibe is super zen -This buried treasure was certainly the highlight of my trip. P.S. Dont forget your bathing suit, great pool! P.S.S. Added bonus; free wifi and cribbage boards -
It's a very beautiful place to walk around, have a coffee and sightseeing. Lots of wild life as well and plenty of good shows.
Great place to spend time as a couple or with family; leisure walks on pathways, in the orchard, pic-nic tables available, possibility of a ponton ride ($); nature reserve ($) with lots of birdwatching and deers is amazing. Canteen, restaurant and washrooms on-site.
Beautiful place to visit. Apple orchard and huge grounds to enjoy or just Kayak. Grounds are very well maintained and enjoyable.
Very butifull refuge natural walking, & biking area. Very relaxing over Looking Lawrence River view. Breakfast was very good. Room space was not good even for 2 adults and there was no air conditioning. Residence experience was not good at all but area landscape was very good. It could have nice if hotel management had told us that there is no air condition. That is why we left one day earlier than planned
