Top Tay Valley Hotel Reviews

Tay Inn

Tay Inn

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed here again, for 2 nights this time in August. The place is clean and frankly it seems like it's a new hotel, as it's so well taken care of. The owners are very pleasant and easy to talk with. The location in Perth is handy for us, as while it's on the highway, it's set back pretty far and the traffic sound doesn't affect my sleep at all. There are comfortable plastic chairs out in front of most (all ?) rooms and often folks will sit out there and watch the traffic while chatting. We sat outside and it was very pleasant. As I'm a coffee hound, I have found I can put a 8-12 basket coffee filter and use ground coffee in their coffee machine to make unlimited number of pots of coffee. I use the non-refrigerated coffee creamers to make it very pleasant, although the room fridge could easily hold a container of milk/cream."

10/10 Excellent
"From the moment you arrive and are greeted by the beautiful Front Desk Manager aka POWWOW the Golden Retriever you know you have stumbled upon something special. This 150 year old property is situated on the most breathtaking view of the Rideau Canal, watch as boats enter and exit the locks. The owners, Jeff and Core do everything to make your stay comfortable and are always on site should you need anything. They are great Hosts and have done so much work (we stayed there last year and this year and they have been working tirelessly and it shows). The food, well I can tell you the snack shop breakfast sammies and world famous cookies are show stoppers, wide variety of ice cream for those taking a stroll. The greatest surprise this year is the expanded restaurant hours, patio fare and the amazing Sunday Brunch. We were very impressed by all the food and again these gentlemen put it all together themselves, always very hands on from greeting guests to preparing mouthwatering food. If you are local to the area, check out the restaurant/patio. They also offer docking for boaters. If you would like to step away from it all and totally relax then do yourself a favour and book a stay at this hidden gem. See you next year!!!!"

"Where do we begin! The Upper Rideau bnb is by far one of the best bnb’s we’ve had the pleasure to experience. From the moment we stepped inside and were greeted by Donna we were treated like royalty. The room was immaculate and we had our own ensuite that included a large jacuzzi bath ( which we used to soak our tired muscles from two days of kayaking). The breakfast was a chef’s dream with wonderful baked goodies and daily full hot meals of eggs, bacon, fruit and toast. Absolutely, delicious. Highly recommend this place. Hopefully we will be back again in the near future."
