The Devonshire, Inn on the Lake – a house with history in a secret garden setting. Once the Wellington Foundry, today the Devonshire offers seven charming guest rooms, elegant dining and a breathtaking waterfront location, all nestled in the village of Wellington, Prince Edward County.

Explore the inn’s two acres of park-like grounds and you’ll find a pebbly beach, a trout stream, and a waterfall. Once you’re inside, browse the eclectic library, relax by the fire, or watch the sun set while enjoying a cocktail at the copper topped bar. In your room, down duvets and luxury linens await. All rooms have queen or king beds, some with air jet Jacuzzis and sitting areas.

"The County", as it's known by locals, is one of the best kept travel secrets in Ontario. An historic Loyalist settlement, Prince Edward County is known as a new wine grape growing area, for it’s great beaches at Sandbanks Provincial Park, wonderful food, antiques and galleries galore, bird watching sites, scuba diving locations and world-class fishing.
