Rooms in old section where we were put in badly need an update. Floors in upper rooms squeaked horribly and woke me often. Dinner was delicious but tables too close and overpriced for what it is.

Glenora is a very nice place to stay. Staff at reception and in the bar / dining room were very friendly and I had a nice evening. The room are very nice too - but I was left with the feeling that it is very overpriced. Little things like - only paper coffe cups and flimsy plastic cups in the room. Travel lodge style shampoo dispensers in bathroom. ( the shower gel was empty too ) Very nice - but when you’re charging top $ - it’s the little things that count. Very nice - but probably wouldn’t stay there again.

The Glenora Inn and Distillery is located in a beautiful area. The fall colors were spectacular and the grounds are absolutely gorgeous. The Inn property is in need of a refresh through. The rooms are spacious but not updated. Fresh paint, and flooring goes along way in terms of achieving a modern appeal. Most of the staff were lovely and friendly; however, some were simply going through the motions and were not interested in engaging with guests. Overall, our stay was enjoyable. However, there is a tremendous opportunity for the Glenora Inn management to elevate the interior space and experience for guests.

I can’t recommend this place enough. We stayed in the 3 bedroom chalet and everyone was very happy with our choice! It sits on a hill with a fantastic view down the little valley, has a wood burning fireplace that gives you the rustic feel, and the attic is so spacious! Dinner at the resto was so flavourful, and live music certainly added to the charm. I wish we could have stayed longer!

Cabin was OK nothing special. We felt very cramped. It would have been nice if we knew about the rough road that we had to drive on to the Cabin If I would have known I would never had booked this place as I was in a Moni Cooper, as far as I am concerned this place is just a name. Restaurant was very good
