Good to know

How do we get there?

Manoir Hovey is around 2 hours from Montréal or 3 hours from Québec.

 

Are children welcome?

Yes, children are welcome at Manoir Hovey, though the atmosphere leans towards peaceful and refined rather than overtly family-focused.

There are a number of connecting rooms and suites that work well for families, and the lakeside location means plenty of fresh air and outdoor space to roam. In summer, children can kayak, paddleboard or swim in the lake, and in winter, there’s snowshoeing and sledding nearby. While there’s no kids’ club, the team are warm and accommodating, and can help arrange activities suited to younger guests.

That said, it’s best suited to families with older children who will appreciate the quiet, rather grown-up ambience – particularly in the main dining areas.
