Drake Devonshire and Motor Inn

A picturesque and peaceful location on the shores of Lake Ontario. There was ample parking on site with a small stream passing under a walkway to the sauna close by. Our room was charming and comfortable with a walkout balcony and seating facing west, overlooking the stream and lake. A perfect place to view the sunset while having a relaxing discussion of the day's activities and a glass of wine. Several indoor and outdoor activities were available, including a ping pong table and a table hockey game, beside a comfortable sitting room with a warm fireplace. The restaurant was spacious with spectacular views of the beach and extensive Lake Ontario. The service was friendly and the food was excellent. Our visit was too brief, however, we left completely rejuvenated, pleased with our stay, and looking forward to returning later in the year.

Will not be coming back. The food and restaurant staff were good, and the room was nice with a comfortable bed. However, the room was beside part of the kitchen. It was extremely loud with slamming doors until almost midnight, and started up again both Saturday and Sunday mornings at 4:45am. We did advise staff and they said they could clear the area, they certainly didn’t seem surprised by the complaint so I suspect this isn’t a unique issue. They did get the staff to stop after 20 minutes, but it didn’t stop them from starting again a few hours later. If you value a good sleep on vacation this isn’t the place for you!

Stayed at the motor inn and it was exceptional! Location is excellent (a two minute walk to the lake, beside a brewery with great food and two great cafes, plus a number of other restaurants), the property and rooms are well decorated and beautiful, and the staff is so welcoming and accommodating. Will be back!!

Our stay at the drake was very nice. The room was spacious and clean, however just a few things fell short. First off, on our booking it said we were supposed to get coffee and pastries every morning which never happened. Not sure if it was our responsibility to order them or not but regardless we weren’t informed of it upon arrival. We also noticed mould in the shower on the ceiling. The mini fridge also kept toppling over due to being too large for the console table it was on and spilling its contents out. The remote also didn’t work for Netflix which was kind of annoying. My ******* booking also said my remaking balance was $1800 something and ended up paying $2100 so I’m not sure why there were extra charges or why I wasn’t informed of them ahead of time. Otherwise our stay was nice, the area was easy to navigate, however it was way overpriced for what it was worth. I’d probably just book an air bnb next time.

We enjoyed our night at the Drake Devonshire, front desk was very welcoming (as was the parking attendant). Wait staff in the bar/restaurant was great! very nice! We stayed in the very first room on the main floor at the entrance, which I'm assuming is part of the old house - it was nicely renovated and large enough for us. Only downside to that room is that its right at the front entrance so often people/kids were coming in and out and you could hear them just outside our door - very busy spot. The landscaping was beautiful, lakeside was nice! We would def go back!

Very spacious room, worth the price with the nice additions like pickleball, ping pong, fresh cookies and croissants every day.
