We were 2 couples trying to have a relax getaway without childrens. We bought tickets for a local show that we didn't even go. Hotel & outside is very quiet, charming and comfy. The waterfalls is amazing. we got rooms into the mills, they were clean and nice looking. Food at the Muse was good. Expensive trip, but 100% satisfied.

Overall, our New Year's Eve at the Wakefield Inn was exceptional and certainly met our expectations. We enjoyed our stay in the loft area in the main part of the inn with a small group of friends. The New Year's Eve dinner was superb and creatively presented. Upon arrival, we loved the fact that we could also sit and lounge... plus

Immaculately clean, and ran by a staff who are extremely courteous and genuine, the Wakefield Mill Hotel and Spa does have a lot of charm. We enjoyed the restaurants (we ate at both the bar and Muse), where the service was first rate and the food satisfactory. However, it's hard to wrap one's head around the $250 asking price for... plus

My very new husband and I came here for a night after our wedding day and it was the perfect relaxing retreat! The room was spacious and very clean, and the grounds of the hotel are beautiful! After a day of Spa Nordik off site, we didn't feel like doing much after so decided to try the hotel restaurant. It... plus

Hi/Bonjour,
We stayed at the Moulin de Wakefield just one night on the 13Dec2014. Greeted by the receptionist Jolyann who actually remembered my call when I made the reservations a month earlier. I had requested an early check and our room was ready when we arrived at 1pm.
We had a room in the Eco part of the hotel. It's... plus

Stayed here for 2 nights in a River Grand room in the Eco Lodge. Price was excellent as it was a voucher through LivingSocial. The room had a beautiful view of the river and the ravine. Room is huge, well-appointed, clean and well-designed. King size bed very comfortable, giant walk-in shower very nice as well. Staff are very helpful and... plus

I went there last week with my husband and baby. We were coming from Montreal and had some work to do in Ottawa so the location was ideal for us to spend the night. I loved it, very clean huge room, had a crib for the baby, small fridge, coffee machine, tv and cable, bath tub with an amazing view,... plus

My wife and I spent two nights at the Wakefield Mill in mid-November (evenings of Nov 9 and 10). All in all it was a fantastic, relaxing time with a wonderful room, a great spa experience and decent food and drinks (will review Heron and Muse in more detail separately), and lovely staff.
We stayed at the The Eco River... plus

Beautiful, unique setting with incredibly friendly staff. I booked for my partner's birthday and we found a birthday card on our bed upon check in. In addition, the restaurant manager came by during our meal to wish him a happy birthday as did our server and even gave him a complimentary latte after dinner. Little touches like this make all... plus

We booked in here knowing absolutely nothing about Wakefield or the Hotel - an anniversary trip had fallen apart a week before and we rerouted through here simply because it worked on the map!... and it was one of the best surprises we've ever had on a vacation!
Moulin Wakefield Hotel is breathtaking! You can't believe the location, the conversion... plus

We stayed one night and booked a Fantastic 55 package..accomodation, meals and breakfast included.
The room was average but comfortable, staff very attentive and friendly and it's in a lovely location. All was overshadowed by dinner, the meal was excellent! we had a lovely evening, well worth the trip from Ottawa.

We booked this on a whim when travelling with my parents as I love Inns and wanted them to experience why. We were thrilled with the hotel, great rooms, beautiful scenery, common spaces and the pool area was fantastic. I can't wait to return in the winter for snowshoeing and to check out the spa.
Only items I would change... plus

We stayed right after Labour Day. Boy, was that a mistake. The lunch and dinner service was extremely slow and the staff not very knowledgable on wines. In fact, we had to make 3 choices of wines before they finally found one. The excuse we received after our stay was that they were in a 'transition period' where they are... plus

A beautiful place to stay. The town is very charming. We really enjoyed the food & service. The room had a nice view (311) and was somewhat rustic and cosy. I would say that some of the furniture was tired and dated especially for the price of the room. That being said I would still go back there if the... plus

Lovely location right near the park. Rooms are very well kept and super clean. Beautiful lobby area and a restaurant that looks out on the water. Staff is friendly and helpful to orient you to the area.
We walked from the hotel through the woods into "town". Food here is pricey so we tried some wonderful restaurants into town. Some... plus

When we visited the Inn last summer we upgraded the dining experience included in our package to the Discovery Menu with wine pairings, and were disappointed with the quality of the food and service. Our experience at the breakfast buffet wasn't good either. This time around we booked the Park Getaway package which included the Table d'hote, and did our... plus

We just spent a wonderful weekend at Moulin Wakefield Mill a Hotel and Spa. Our room was very well appointed yet decorated in the style of Quebecois country.....wooden floors and furniture. We decided to have the Discovery menu for dinner. This menu is a 7 course sampler menu. ( I assume it changes). For an additional cost, you can also... plus

I was meeting a friend for the first time and she found this Inn near to Ottawa....a two day getaway! I found the food lacking....had the worst Monte Cristo coffee ever. The service was good but it seemed everyone who served us in the dining area was a new employee. A new chef too! Menu items missing. I expected 4.5... plus

Attracted by a pastoral setting reminiscent of a period some century ago when water mills ground grains and sawed timber from surrounding verdant forests and covered bridges spanned glistening rivers and life was unhurried and less stressful? Well this is your Shangri-La! Set in the country side in beautiful and captivating Wakefield, Quebec, this hotel and spa can truly boast... plus

sent 3 days in late august with my wife and had a wonderful time. service was excellent. the only hiccup we had was that we were supposed to get the waterfall view but had the parking lot which didn't really dampen our weekend. room was was very nice, good size, comfortable bed, very clean. we picked the only weekend that... plus

This place is a hidden gem. The town is picturesque to say the least, and the tumbling waterfall immediately outside the Inn is lovely. We were treated to a very good multi-course meal...served hot by very pleasant & just-right attentive servers. The common room/bar is warm & welcoming, with the expected stone fireplace, rough timber construction and a pleasing combination... plus

Amazing

My wife and I just stayed here and we loved it. We took the couples spa package and stayed in the Eco River Lodge. If relaxation and a mini-vacation is what you need then this is perfect. It may seem expensive when you book it but we found it was worth every penny. After the two days we felt relaxed... plus

A Great Discovery by Chance

We had the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful night at this beautiful Inn. From the moment we arrived we felt at home. The staff bent over backwards to assist. Our room was 211 which was a corner room and very large. We were there to celebrate my God Parents 50th anniversary and we enjoyed a wonderful reception and evening meal... plus

Wonderful stay

We stayed at the Mill for the last part of our summer holiday. We had a wonderful romantic getaway. We enjoyed the discovery meal, it was amazing, went for a walk and returned to the bar to enjoy the music being played by a singer/guitar player, wonderful way to enjoy the evening. Our room was great, we had a couch... plus

Beautiful location, dissapointing service

I attending my brother's wedding at the Wakefield a few weeks ago, and have mixed feelings about the event. The location, rooms, and food were beyond satisfactory- they were fantastic! The service and organization of the place, however, left a lot to be desired. The bride was told she would be able to set up the evening before (after 8:30... plus

Very expensive and

My wife and I celebrated our 41st wedding anniversary here on August 11, 2014. We arrived on a Monday for a one night stay. Dinner was good but expect to pay $ 11 for a 6 on. glass of house wine. If you like the wilderness, this is the place to be but like I said I found it a... plus

Getaway on the countryside

Nice hotel to spend a night in the countryside. Hotel is comfortable, a relax environment. To enjoy all of it, consider having a nice. Cocktail at the bar, a dinner at the restaurant, nice pools and saunas you can also use. Rooms were charming and staff us eager to make your stay a pleasant one.

Great getaway spot

A wonderfully managed inn. Stay in the new building. Rooms large and well appointed. Bathtub is an experience. Pool and hot tub worth a visit. Visit Lester Pearson gravesite up the hill. Very Canadian. Brunch is worth the stay. An easy weekend away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The town of Wakefield down the hill worth a... plus

Exceeded my expectations by far

My husband and I had the Table d'Hôte dinner and it was excellent. The food was exquisite. Great presentation; the flavour combinations were out of this world! Every dish was better than the one before. (I actually asked for a second plate of dessert... it was THAT good!)
The service was just as good. Our waiter was very attentive without... plus

relaxing moment

just got back from night at in a large room with king size bed and a view on the little falls. The room was very clean. People were very nice. We decided not to dine at the restaurant as it seemed a bit pricy. The hotel was full but we didn't feel at all it was crowded. They also have... plus

Amazing Hotel, amazing staff, amazing food...but if you're thinking of getting married there read this

We only have good things to say about Wakefield Mill since it is such an amazing spot. The hotel and grounds are gorgeous, the rooms are nice and quiet, they have a perfectly organized garden, and fabulous staff. My husband and I love the place, and hope to be visiting again soon.
Also, the food is spectacular - using seasonal... plus

Delicious

Elegant food and prepared perfectly. Enjoyed the beef, sashimi, duck, and the dessert cheese board was delightful!

Amazing food, stunningly lacklustre service

I booked a table for 4 for my parents' 40th anniversary dinner while they were visiting Ottawa. We had a lovely table downstairs, and while indoors, whenever the door opened, we could hear the rush of water outside and really enjoyed the venue. The evening started off quite well, with our table ordering a bottle of wine and the planned... plus

A beyond perfect Engagement weekend

My boyfriend (now fiance) booked a weekend package at the Wakefield Mill this past weekend as a surprise for our anniversary. We had a room in the Eco River Lodge for two nights with breakfast, dinner and brunch included. It also had coupons to the bar and spa. Our room was spacious, very comfortable, very clean, and had a lovely... plus

Wonderful "staycation" venue from Ottawa

This was a first night away for my wife and I in many years since our daughter was born. She was at camp so we took advantage and booked a package that included a room and the discovery menu with wine pairing. As a hotel, this is in a very pleasant riverside location and the service was friendly and efficient.... plus

The fish and chips were swimming in grease! Yuk

Our party of four lunched at the Muse on Friday, July 18th, 2014. We were pleased with the wonderful view of the waterfall from our table overlooking the Peche River, and our servers were prompt, polite and pretty. We ordered cold draft beer pints which were promptly delivered to our table. My wife ordered the scallop plate and I requested... plus

A fantastic escape in our backyard

We've been to the Wakefield twice now, and each time has been fantastic.
The atmosphere is very secluded and romantic...adjust your expectations, this is not a swanky Ritz Carleton; the inn is built out a historic grain mill. However, the environment is very warm, rustic, and most of all luxurious. Rooms are small but spaciously appointed. Staff is excellent and... plus

the wow factor

I stayed at the wakefield mill hotel and spa for 3 days and I cannot wait to return..the setting is spectacular the sunday brunch is a def must do!! if I can say anything negative bring bug spray as they come out for 30 min at dusk we had a room in the newer section by the pool and it... plus

wakefield Mill spa hotel

I attended a wedding at the Mill, the most charming backdrop. the accommodation was tops. The food was delicious, the venue overlooking the water fall flowing throw the greenery that is Canada.
A short wall to the small town, good fun in in the local pub where a fiddler played. the bank opens at 9.30am where I accessed travel card.cash.... plus

Perfect for a weekend getaway

Spent a night at the Moulin Wakefield to celebrate my wife's birthday and must say it was great. We had reserved a package which included dinner, a night at the hotel, and brunch on Sunday. Both meals were wonderful. I had been at the Muse (the name of the hotel's restaurant) before and always appreciated my meals, and this time... plus

A Re-energizing Stay

I loved the gorgeous natural setting, wonderful accommodations and fabulous cuisine! An excellent wine list that will tempt anyone for a casual beverage overlooking the rapids. An ideal setting for any occasion. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed.

Two Night Stay

Our trip to Wakefield Inn was a wonderful experience. Staff were very courteous, friendly and helpful. Brunch was excellent and the dinner was very enjoyable. Taste, presentation and service was first class. We will be back and we highly recommend this beautiful place.

Pampered from Beginning to End

I wouldn't normally use the word "pampered" for a restaurant but that's exactly how I felt. The service was excellent and we decided to treat ourselves to the Discovery Menu (7 tasting plates) selected by the chef...surprise! Not knowing what was coming next was half the fun. Yes, it was expensive but it was a wonderful and great way to... plus

Relaxing Stay with Breakfast

We went there for a week-end get away and would go again. Our room overlooked the park with the waterfall. It was just beautiful. We didn't get to visit the spa as it was fully booked. You really need to book treatments well in advance. I've already written a review about the Muse restaurant but must mention their Sunday brunch.... plus

Charming Country Inn on a Waterfall

A gorgeous renovated old mill along a river with a tumbling waterfall. Peaceful and restorative. Adirondack chairs set up along the little river where you can read or just watch the river roll by. Right at the entrance to Gatineau Park so lots of hiking and walking trails to explore. Outdoor hot tubs and a beautiful pool. Restaurant has a... plus

Wonderful dinner

My husband and I stayed at the Wakefield Mill in March and liked it so much, we came back again. Our dinner at Muse was once again absolutely delicious, from appetizers right through to dessert! Thanks again for a lovely dinner experience ... we'll be back!

Avoid the fish and chips

Not sure about the rest of the food, but the fish and chips we ordered were certainly substandard. The fish was dripping with grease while the fries fared no better. Included with the meal was a salty cabbage slaw. Price was reasonable, but who cares when it is practically inedible. The shrimp salad we ordered was somewhat better but nothing... plus

A memorable experience

Stay at Wakefield mill was one of the most memorable experience I had, the food was great, the SPA was great and the room I stayed in was pretty cozy.
In addition the location of the mill hotel is amazing. I loved the landscape around too.
Overall an awesome experience.
Thanks,
Ravi Sunkaranam

Beautiful and relaxing

I attended a conference at the Wakefield Mill and the venue was excellent. The meeting room was well lite and for breaks we were able to step outside and enjoy the fresh air. In the evening it was nice to walk the paths and have the ability to sit at the various seating areas along it. Sitting and enjoying the... plus

An Awsome Experience

I enjoyed my stay at Wakefield mill with privilege to regal service. The hotel is outstanding in every way with a wonderful staff to serve and ensure guest comfort.
A good choice to stay at. i would definitly recommend.

Loved every moment of our stay!
\n\n
There are no negatives except for mosquitos!

Idyllic setting
\n\n
The spa hot tub was poor (not hot, and jets were weak) dissappointing.

Lage / Qualität der Zimmer und des Essens / Personal
\n\n
laute Zimmerschlösser / kein Aufzug in die 4. Etage (bei CAD 200.- Zimmern...) / Parkplatz voll

Chalet is newer , river , hiking, pool, modern rooms are also very nice
\n\n
Small rooms with lowered ceilings; old bathrooms.

everything about the setting, in particular the way the riverside trail was set up with 2 chairs at many various spots for many couples to enjoy peacefully
\n\n
table setup in rooms needs some work

beautiful bed, beautiful bathroom and bedroom, GREAT food
\n\n
I think it would be useful to have a ventilator fan in the bathroom to clear the humidity

There are no comments available for this review

Veel natuur, veel water (meren).
\n\n
Heeel erg klein zwembad, matige fitness voorzieningen.

We sat by the lovely falls and had afternoon drinks totally un-disturbed and then by the side door we sat and played cards totally un-disturbed by people who passed by. It is lovely for a nice quiet getaway.

It is a very beautiful and relaxing place. Time slows right down especially if you do not activate any electronic equipment. Get in touch with nature and give romance a whirl! Food was great and the staff made you feel like a VIP. The spa was out of this world!!!
\n\n
I do not have any negative comments about the Wakefield Mill.

Everything.....the setting, the room, the staff, and the food in the restaurant.
\n\n
Nothing!

Front desk staff were very helpful and friendly. Waiter was also very friendly and efficient.

Les soins le personnel au spa tres accueillant et professionnel, excellent soins
\n\n
L'accueil au restaurant, manque de service reservation pour 6h15 la salade est arrive a 7h30 et le repas principal a 8h15 manque de personnel, beaucoup trop lent.

We liked the comfort of the rooms. The cleaniness was also well
appreciated.
\n\n
The fact that we went thinking we were staying in a rustic mill with
' old charm" and ended up in a brand new 'eco room".
We were very disappointed with the type of room we were in , when that
was the reason we had chosen to stay in Wakefield for the
'Mill" style and 'rooms of stone"... Not the super
modern soaker... plus

The food, spa and atmosphere
\n\n
That I didnt bring my husband

Small and intimate. A little off the beaten track, but not to far that you could not walk to the village. The brunch was good. The nature and trails. Everyone was freindly, did not encounter any unhappy people.
\n\n
Room was a little noisy, some one up stairs with noisy shoes. Would be nice to have a minnie fridge in the room. Inn caters to non guests for Sunday brunch, hence it was very... plus

location was beautiful. Truly Canadian decor. New addition is very swanky! Cleaner was very helpful with directions!
\n\n
breakfast did not seem ready for the amount of guests staying (wedding party) but I think it had to do with a busy mother's day the day before. Not enough plates, really slow service to get coffee/order. we could tell the staff was angry with us.

mostly everything
\n\n
Our party found the staff rather brusk, verging on rudeness on the phone, but in person couldn't have been more helpful. I would suggest a llittle training re over the phone relationships to make them warmer. Another thing, at least one member of the serving staff warmed up considerably when I spoke French to them instead of English; I would suggest us Anglophones need... plus

Lovely room and location
\n\n
continental breakfast would have been appreciated.

Our view was lovely..
\n\n
Hot tub could be bigger?

Room was comfortable and clean
\n\n
Room seemed overpriced, especially for time of year. Because of wedding,
many facilities were not available. Did not know about wedding at time
of booking

Le personnel était très accueillant. Le petit déjeuner était complet et
de qualité. La table de la salle Héron était très bonne, les produits
frais et de qualité. Le lieu est très relaxant.

L'accueil du Spa n'était pas à la hauteur. Aucun sourire. La
jeune fille ne nous a pas dit bonjour, rien d'avenant. Elle nous a
regardés comme si nous la dérangiez lorsque nous avons voulu accéder au... plus

Beautiful hotel in a beautiful location.

We loved our overnight stay at the Inn. It is perfectly situated and the waterfall is so relaxing. We highly recommend a room overlooking the falls. I had a massage at the spa and it was very tranquil and relaxing. We are planning to return in thr near future. Well worth the drive.

Front desk staff was friendly. The room was well-apppointed although one
bedside lamp did not work. Beautiful scenery.
\n\n
Poor service and mediocre food in the Heron Room. There were only 2
other tables seated when I arrived and yet I waited 20 minutes before I
finally got someone to take my order.

We have stayed here 4 times in the last year and have enjoyed every stay. The food has always been awesome and the view of the waterfall can't be beat.
\n\n
The facilities were not 100% (8 of 10). We have stayed at the Mill 4 times in the last year and both hot tubs were not aways available for use, one of the window shades was broken in our room and during the summer the room we stayed in the... plus

The ambiance was excellent, new rooms were great, what one should expect
\n\n
Poor admin, booking, reservations, knowing where we should be,
everyhting was contradictory, chef had an off weekend not to the
standards I am accustomed to, service was slow, again a reflection on
the kitchen this weekend, staff need better training, too laid back
attitude, ok to have if this what you want but they... plus

Beautiful surroundings, inviting outdoor hot tub, cosy bar & restaurant, friendly staff, quiet rooms.

the serenity
\n\n
A little more choice on the menu would be good

Hot tub, but it's advertised as riverview, which is misleading
\n\n
Size of room and view vs. Price

The location is beautiful, the food was delicious (brunch), the room was lovely.

-the ambience of the Inn--festive, warm, inviting -the friendliness of the staff
\n\n
-I was redeeming a "Life Experiences" gift card and sought direct instructions from the Inn staff on how to correctly book the night; the information I was given was incorrect ("when booking on-line be sure to put the # of your Life Experiences gift card and time you would like to have dinner in the special... plus

atmosphere is wonderful, food was excellent, staff were very helpful and friendly
\n\n
visit was in december-our room in the new building was very cold (staff provided an extra heater)

Friendly staff / quiet environment / idyllic setting / cozy pool and spa.
\n\n
we liked the quality of of the fine dining restaurant better last year. altough the service of the waiter (olivier) was exeellent. we also found te vibriting floor above the spa disturbing during dinner.

This was an amazing food experience and of total relaxation. Very friendly staff, great location. Picturesque village. A must do.

Le décor est enchanteur et le charme un peu vieillot du village est agréable, à condition de parler anglais! La piscine et le bain tourbillon sont nouveaux de cette année et sont impeccables.
\n\n
Ce qu'il manque? Un air climatisé plus silencieux et une machine à glaçons disponible dans la vieille partie de l'auberge. De plus, le prix "Booking.com" nous a permis d'économiser presque 175$ sur le... plus

Cadre idyllique, personnel arrangeant et à votre ecoute. Nous avons apprécié le Spa et le calme alentour..la prochaine fois je viendrais sans mes amis mais avec ma femme!

We liked the location

Lovely food, nice bar, beautiful setting, proximity to town
\n\n
a little stuffy. room was not what I expected for the price.

This place has it all..nice heritage atmosphere...classy but not not stuffy. Food is very fine...gorgeously presented, tasty, very polite and friendly staff. We booked for next month. TD
