Fodor's Expert Review Shaw's Hotel and Cottages

Canada's oldest family-operated inn has been winning a faithful following since opening in 1860, and the homey rooms in the three-story lodge are attractive enough. This is a family-friendly spot, though, so guests often choose roomy one- to four-bedroom cottages or chalets: many of which have kitchens, fireplaces, and bay views. The intergenerational ambience carries into the restaurant where a kids' menu is available. But Shaw's also runs children's programs three nights a week, allowing parents to dine alone.
