I loved every bit of this restaurant! The food was really done well. It is completely worth…read morestopping by whenever in the Magog area. The restaurant is pretty spacious and like other reviews mentioned, is quite dimly lit. Knowing that, I asked to be seated where there was lighting (Oh the better to see you with, my dear...food) and the waiter willingly obliged. I loved the artwork in the resto by Marie-Lyse Beaudoin. The two to three separated dining areas gave the place a real intimate feel. We had the two colored soup of the day: half beet and half broccoli and oh boy was it delicious! It's kind of fun trying to take the soup without letting it mix together. Then came the smoked trout with a small side of salad. The trout was so smooth and salted just right but it was a small piece and I wanted more!! When you're in the Eastern Townships, you simply cannot NOT eat duck! I ordered the Duck Duo and I'm about to shed a tear it was flavored so nicely with maple and balsamic on half and parmentier of duck confit on the other. I gobbled it up like a hungry woman :) Other reviews said to try the lamb from the classic menu so we said what heck, bring me some lamb. That crispy coated lamb chops are so well seasoned, you'll even want to nibble it off the frenched ribs. I know I did. I'm a fan of crème brûlée so whenever I see it on the menu, my stomach tells me I gotta order it to try. This one did not disappoint. Overall, this was such a lovely, memorable experience. I would love to go back again!

The hotel offers luxurious accommodations and the restaurant serves up decadent dishes that are sure to please even the most discerning of palates. The staff at both the hotel and restaurant are incredibly friendly and accommodating, and they go out of their way to make sure that each and every guest feels like a VIP. The level of service at the Ripplecover is truly unmatched, and it's one of the many reasons why we continue to come back year after year. The rooms at the hotel are spacious and well-appointed, and the beds are some of the most comfortable we've ever slept in. The restaurant is elegant and the food is absolutely divine - we could hardly believe how good it was! If you're looking for a luxurious and relaxing vacation, the Ripplecover hotel and restaurant are the perfect choice. We can't say enough good things about our experience here, and we know you'll love it just as much as we do.

So I booked a night to stay over on our way to Charlevoix. The Good: certainly that breakfast earns its reputation. It's conventional but really good, as is the coffee. Service in the cafe also quite good. The Bad: bedbugs. Found in the bedsheets. I get the feeling the staff knows they have a problem because when we brought it up they were indifferent to it. Did not make for a good nights sleep. The Other: scenery around the hotel is pretty nice, quiet and peaceful. Parking is street parking.

This was my mom's request and any chance to spend time in Quebec is something we all love. North Harley is a charming little town with some unique shops and of course, this delightful Inn, L'Auberge de la Chocolatière, or The Chocolate Makers Inn. The café has a nice array of breakfast, lunch and dinner items, as well as desserts. We were promptly seated. Staff is perfectly bilingual (which is pretty common for this area). I ordered the Grilled Cheese Panini with comes with side salad or soup of the day. I chose the latter, a celery and mushroom (non dairy) veloûté. My mom ordered the sane whereas my dad got the pepper and eggs Panini with chèvre and the soup. We each ordered the thé froid, iced tea, a slightly sweetened iced herbal tea. The Panini was delicious. It was a perfect combination of sweet and savory. The soup was creamy, properly seasoned and piping hot. As there was a chill in the air, it hit the spot. The service was excellent. We opted to forgo dessert, but we did get an array of 12 artisanal chocolates to go. We had mom choose the flavors from over almost 40 offerings in dark, milk and white chocolate. Each chocolate has a fine-thick sliver of topping or sprinkling of herbs or spices, such as dried cranberries, apricot, elderflower, cassis, cayenne pepper, sea salt, lavender, coconut, cardamom. In essence, a chocolate lovers paradise. In the car, we sampled the pralined and the apricot. The chocolate is extremely high quality and not too sweet. There's a lot of love out into those concoctions. The store also sells maple syrup candies and syrup, small and large bars of the chocolates, etc. It was a lovely first meal in the region. I would cone back here to enjoy the area's outdoor offerings and perhaps stay here.

This was supposed to be a short stop over on our way to Quebec city. Instead, I'm already trying to…read morethink of when I can come back. The place is beautiful, the photos do not do the rooms justice, and the breakfast is simply phenomenal. The hosts were really nice and stayed up to accommodate us driving in late. The rooms are well appointed, the bathrooms nice and clean. The grounds of the place is beautiful, lots of wildflowers, and next to a lake. Did I mention the three-course breakfast? Local jams with turkey pate, waffles with lots of wonderful fruits, freshly squeezed orange juice, and a crème brûlée grapefruit. I'm sad I didn't get to spend as much time here this time, but definitely planning to come back for a longer stay next time.

The location is ideal for Magog, you're right by the cute bridge by the cute park and beach and the awesome local brew pub is a few steps away and so is the Rue Principale, ie; main street, with other cute restaurants and shops. The bed was super comfortable, the sheets and pillows were so deeply cosy, the room had it's own clean, nice little bathroom. There is a fireplace downstairs in a common room that connects to a whole hallway of maps and guidebooks for the region. The dining room is full of light and set with lovely cutlery, white table cloths, lace curtains, so calm and sunny and lovely. The owner will serve you coffee and juice in a champagne glass and then a 4 course beautiful breakfast which by the way, she made. She's happy to tell you about the different jams and preserves, the local cheeses and meats she's using, etc. She's calm and sweet and generally makes you feel at home, without that awkwardness... Because let's be real, I'm not always a fan of the bed and breakfast, sometimes this can be weird with weird forced interactions with strangers and mediocre food made by non-food professionals. The Merry Manor is the opposite, it's the best, so friendly and intimate and awesome, and I'll be back for sure.

Although the place shows a tired look, it was reasonably clean. The suite was spacious with a small kitchenette equipped with a fridge, toaster oven, coffee maker, basic cutlery and glassware. There is an outside gas BBQ and some garden chairs. The highlight of this place, in my opinion, is the open air hot tubs which we were very fond of, especially with the freezing cold air temperature outside. There is also a non heated outside swimming pool which was unfortunately closed due to recent high wind. Inside is a swimming pool and a hot tub. Dinner at the restaurant was exquisite. Service impeccable. Best Pudding Chômeur ever. Breakfast, the next day, was well over expectations in terms of the variety ranging from pancakes on order to smoked salmon, hot dishes like beacon, sausages, potatoes and an impressive variety of other yummies too many to mention. So many desserts. A feast for the eyes. Would totally recommend this place.

Room was set up well we had a suite with our own balcony that had the view of the mountain for $ 45 more. View was great but I wouldn't pay for it again. We had a BBQ so on our second night we went in to town to make some surf & turf. There's 4 hot tubs outside and 1 pool inside with a hot tub as well. Large pool outside is closed in the winter as it's seasonal. There's a huge sauna and a quiet meditation room which I didn't like it wasn't warm enough and the chairs don't have cushions and the fire place is barely lit. We had a great time but we didn't eat at the hotel as I had surprise reservations at fondissimo. ( fondue ) everything closes at 11 pm hot tubs, bars, restos close before 10 pm including room service. I had a great relaxing time and can't wait untill our next visit!

The hotel could easily be a condo, the suites are designed that way, giving you ample room, a full kitchen and ensuite laundry. This is a great place for families and people staying in the hotel for extended stays. Parking is onsite, which is advisable to book ahead of time to avoid parking on the street and offsite. Check in was easy, and the staff was extremely friendly. I was able to check in early which was convenient and great especially after a long drive when I just wanted to settle in a relax before exploring the town. Attached to the hotel is a cute cafe le comptoir de l'atelier which was lovely, around the corner you are a short walk to Pointe-Merry Park, and the town itself has so many lovely shops and restaurant. The location cannot be beat! The amenities at the property include a gym, hot tubs and saunas in the top floor terrace. I didn't give 5 stars for two reasons was that the hotel is located in town which is great but it's also next to a micro brewery which on Friday night does have quite a lively party which didn't end until 3am. But this didn't happen on Saturday or Sunday which is a plus, but I would recommend people with families to book on a higher floor. The second is the toilet paper. Being a luxury hotel and having 1-ply toilet paper is a huge disappointment. Please buy 2 or 3 ply. No one's ass should be this chaffed by cheap toilet paper.
