Do not do business with these people! A confirmed, written reservation means nothing to Auburge du…read moreJoli Vent. We received our written confirmation with confirmation # by email from Auburge du Joli Vent six weeks ahead of time. Two hours before we were due to check in, they called and told us they had overbooked and could not honor our reservation! They did help to find us other accommodations: for the same price they found a place that was in absolutely no way comparable 20 miles away. The poor desk clerk was left to deal with us. The "Director" at Auburge do Joli Vent would not make eye contact with us or speak to us. We had traveled all the way across the continent to be in Knowlton and our vacation plans were totally destroyed. We lost half a day just arguing with them and getting other vastly inferior accommodations. The compensation for our trouble: They offered us a cup of coffee!

I loved every bit of this restaurant! The food was really done well. It is completely worth…read morestopping by whenever in the Magog area. The restaurant is pretty spacious and like other reviews mentioned, is quite dimly lit. Knowing that, I asked to be seated where there was lighting (Oh the better to see you with, my dear...food) and the waiter willingly obliged. I loved the artwork in the resto by Marie-Lyse Beaudoin. The two to three separated dining areas gave the place a real intimate feel. We had the two colored soup of the day: half beet and half broccoli and oh boy was it delicious! It's kind of fun trying to take the soup without letting it mix together. Then came the smoked trout with a small side of salad. The trout was so smooth and salted just right but it was a small piece and I wanted more!! When you're in the Eastern Townships, you simply cannot NOT eat duck! I ordered the Duck Duo and I'm about to shed a tear it was flavored so nicely with maple and balsamic on half and parmentier of duck confit on the other. I gobbled it up like a hungry woman :) Other reviews said to try the lamb from the classic menu so we said what heck, bring me some lamb. That crispy coated lamb chops are so well seasoned, you'll even want to nibble it off the frenched ribs. I know I did. I'm a fan of crème brûlée so whenever I see it on the menu, my stomach tells me I gotta order it to try. This one did not disappoint. Overall, this was such a lovely, memorable experience. I would love to go back again!

Quels hotels de nos jours n'incluent rien comme dejeuner. Meme pas de muffins, rien. Pour dejeuner, il faut aller a leur p'tit resto fancy. $$.

I signed up for yelp just to write about how much we loved this place. This place is also well known for their food and the chef did an amazing job! Everything we ate was so good and thoughtfully made. I am vegetarian too and there was no issue, they have vegetarian options. We had stayed here mid week during the middle of our vacation throughout Vermont and Canada and this place was by far our favorite part of our vacation! Very beautiful and relaxing environment. We hope to stay there sometime again. I highly recommend this place!

This was supposed to be a short stop over on our way to Quebec city. Instead, I'm already trying to…read morethink of when I can come back. The place is beautiful, the photos do not do the rooms justice, and the breakfast is simply phenomenal. The hosts were really nice and stayed up to accommodate us driving in late. The rooms are well appointed, the bathrooms nice and clean. The grounds of the place is beautiful, lots of wildflowers, and next to a lake. Did I mention the three-course breakfast? Local jams with turkey pate, waffles with lots of wonderful fruits, freshly squeezed orange juice, and a crème brûlée grapefruit. I'm sad I didn't get to spend as much time here this time, but definitely planning to come back for a longer stay next time.

Manoir De La Rue Merry is the very best kind of BnB. This is like staying in a high end hotel where…read morethere are only 4 rooms and they are cozy and beautiful and the owners are kind and thoughtful and professional and incredible cooks who take pride in local product. The location is ideal for Magog, you're right by the cute bridge by the cute park and beach and the awesome local brew pub is a few steps away and so is the Rue Principale, ie; main street, with other cute restaurants and shops. The bed was super comfortable, the sheets and pillows were so deeply cosy, the room had it's own clean, nice little bathroom. There is a fireplace downstairs in a common room that connects to a whole hallway of maps and guidebooks for the region. The dining room is full of light and set with lovely cutlery, white table cloths, lace curtains, so calm and sunny and lovely. The owner will serve you coffee and juice in a champagne glass and then a 4 course beautiful breakfast which by the way, she made. She's happy to tell you about the different jams and preserves, the local cheeses and meats she's using, etc. She's calm and sweet and generally makes you feel at home, without that awkwardness... Because let's be real, I'm not always a fan of the bed and breakfast, sometimes this can be weird with weird forced interactions with strangers and mediocre food made by non-food professionals. The Merry Manor is the opposite, it's the best, so friendly and intimate and awesome, and I'll be back for sure.

The room was slightly larger than a regular double and had single-bed sized window seats that they made up for one of us. It was a beautiful old building that has been been renovated.

All came with coffee or tea and a mini smoothie bowl. We plan to come again!
