Beautiful grounds and the food was very good but our room was gross (room 45). Mold in the jacuzzi jets, used bar of soap from previous guest left on window sill, carpet was full of stains as was the light-coloured sofa. Advised the front desk about our concerns relating to hygiene and cleanliness but nothing was done. Since then we’ve emailed them 3 times but our communications haven’t even been acknowledged. Really bad customer service.

This was a third visit to Ripplecove the first two over twenty years ago. I was shocked to see how it had grown with more buildings however the vibe of the classic, original building had not thankfully. This is not a place without its quirks-I’m referring to the older part-floors creak, sprinkler pipes are exposed in some rooms and our room did not have a door on the toilet room which relegated using the sink to waiting until the WC was vacated. The room aside, the public spaces are charming especially the sitting room with stone fireplace and the bar area downstairs. It’s glorious to be near the lake and though it was too chilly to use, paddle boats are available as are kayaks. E-bikes are on site for guest use as well. Dining is a main attraction at least for us. Though the experience has changed since my last visit in terms of a dress code-it seems anything goes now sort of unfortunately-the food remains stellar as well as the service. If you’re looking for a charming, relaxing place to go I’d highly recommend the Auberge.…

Arrived at 1600 to check in and was meet by reception with warm welcome. The room was as nice if not nicer than I was expecting. Staff pre-set up a pack n play for our baby. My only complaint is that we didn’t spend enough time to use the pool, kayaks, and electric bikes. Superb stay.

Pretty place, regular rooms beds are very small don’t even think it was a queen bed. Pool area had lots of bird pop all over the lounge chairs and no towels were available at the pool. Restaurant food was good but very pricey and very small portions.

Calm relaxing hotel. Food is great, suites are better than expected. Staff do their best to address any issues. Came here 35 years ago for honeymoon, came back to celebrate out anniversary. They didn't disappoint.

Outstanding service and facilities. Excellent value for the money. Great location in the Eastern Townships in Quebec. Easy to arrive by car on excellent roads or fly into Montreal and rent a car. We plan on booking another time away in the near future.

Such a disappointment! We visited last year and had a great stay. This time, upon checking in there was loud music blaring from a party on the terrace right above our room. The food was terrible and cold. They didn’t have any paddles for the stand up paddle boards. They never offered any kind of apology let alone compensation for these issues. If you are looking for a quiet, carefree holiday, keep looking!

Hello, first of all allow me to apologize for that your stay did not meet your expectations. The front desk staff members make it a point to provide all of our guests with the best possible services. Additionally, at Ripplecove, we are constantly working to improve the experience for our valued customers and assure you that every effort is being made to make you happy. After checking, no events occurred during your stay. A call from you at reception would have allowed us to resolve the situation quickly. As for your meal, know that our butler at the restaurant Le Riverain is always available to offer you the best service and an impeccable quality of food.

Despite some unhappy reviews about construction activity at Ripplecove this spring, I'd been meaning to visit there for years. Pleasantly, all traces of construction are gone as of early August. So I could tell you about the lake-view rooms and outdoor Jacuzzi's (four) and shoreline dining, etc which await you, but then you and hundreds of others would want to visit, making it no longer the secret hideaway I wish it would always remain. So please forget you even read this. Bonnes Vacances.
