Beautiful motel, clean and quiet. Everyone was great, super owners and staff Nicky and Judy were wonderful in the breakfast bar. We have stayed before and will stay again. Speaking to many people there that were long time return patrons. Thanks for having such a nice and welcoming set up.

Such lovely people, especially the lady who runs the breakfast room. Darling. I wish I knew her name. The rooms were just right. Everything you need & so clean. Right on the river with beautiful flowers everywhere. Definitely coming back.

Wonderful location right in the St. Lawrence with a nice viewing deck. Lovely breakfast, included! Rooms nice and clean ... but could use a bit of a decor update.

Dewar’s Inn on the River is a true hidden gem with a beautiful, peaceful riverside setting that makes it perfect for relaxing and unwinding. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well maintained, and the overall atmosphere is calm and welcoming. The staff are friendly and attentive, and I especially appreciated that breakfast was brought right to my room, which made the stay feel extra special and convenient. You can really feel the care and pride they put into making guests feel at home, and I would happily stay here again and recommend it to anyone.

Amazing stay at the Dewars Inn! My Maid of Honour’s and I stayed the first night and the second night my husband and I stayed in the Club House Cottage! It was beautiful and spacious! Full Kitchen, 2 sitting areas(living rooms), 2 fireplaces, decent size bathroom and full bedroom as well as a futon. There was enough room for all of my bridal party and family to get ready before my wedding! It was wonderful too because the view was absolutely BREATHTAKING! So we took advantage of that and took our first look photos there and my husband and I also did our private vows down by the water on the dock. It was so beautiful and I couldn’t have imagined anything better!!! Dewars Inn is only 5 minutes from the town of Prescott too so just a short drive to pick up stuff if you need groceries..etc! Very convenient. Only thing that I didn’t like was the main bed. It was very uncomfortable (very firm/hard) which definitely impacted my sleep. Otherwise our stay was perfect. THANK YOU DEWARS INN!
