My wife and I spent a night at Glenora and from the time we entered the Inn till we left the next day we felt at home. Our room was very good and the diner we shared was exellent. The wiskey was outstanding as was the service we experienced. I would highly recommend the Inn as a great get away.

My husband and I decided to take a weekend getaway and since we live only an hour and a half from the Glenora Inn and Distillery, it was the perfect choice. The room in the Inn was very nice, bed great but the best was the patio door that exited into an outside sitting area, it was amazing, the fall... More

We stayed in a cottage on the hill overlooking the entire property, AMAZING. Nice porch to sip wine and watch the clouds roll by. Went for a nice run around the area the following morning. Had a great meal and was entertained by 3 musicians that evening. It was nice to not have to drive after the flight of whiskey... More

We stayed in the executive room (1 king) on the upper floor of the inn - the room was clean, nice, and recently re-finished. The food was incredible - exquisite dining. The bar was nice, with live music. The grounds were beautiful. Would definitely return.

Nestled in the hills of Breton Isle is the Glenora Distillery. We are whiskey drinkers so staying at a distillery sounded like an interesting prospect. We opted to stay in one of the nine rooms instead of a chalet. Our room was like a typical hotel room, it was clean, we were comfortable but it was on the dark side.... More

The Glenora Inn appealed to us due to location and entertainment. The hotel was fully booked so we opted for one of the chalets on the hillside with a magnificent view of the valley. They are pricey but very comfortable with a nicely equipped kitchen, fireplace (wood stove) and hot tub. Unfortunately the damper on the wood stove was malfunctioning... More

Not sure why, but this place was much better than we expected. The food was amazing! The whicky too! We stayed in cabin 13 and although it felt like they tried to squeeze a lot into the cabin, it was all very nice. The hot tub in the living room was a little odd, but we took advantage of it....

Glenora Distillery is a wonderful place to stay. The grounds are absolutely beautiful, the rooms are clean and the food, fabulous. Would loved to have taken the tour of the distillery but we did not have time. We will go back again.

We stayed for the second time last week. This time we stayed at the inn rather than the chalets. the beds were soooo comfortable! The meal was outstanding and the music in the pub after dinner was very entertaining.I was a bit put out that they wanted to charge for the tour of the distillery when they were already charging...
