Ottawa’s Parliament buildings
Haliburton
The village of Haliburton lies just south of
Algonquin and two hours to the north of
Toronto. It is a likeable place with a selection of
restaurants, art studios and antique shops. Its main
attractions to the international visitor are its
proximity to the park and a Wolf Centre with
displays and interpretation of wolf behaviour. If
you want to experience the activities and wildlife
of the park but don’t want to immerse yourself
fully by staying in rustic log cabins, then
Haliburton offers you the ideal alternative.
SIR SAM’S INN, HALIBURTON
Situated just outside Haliburton, Sir Sam’s Inn is
on the edge of Eagle Lake. Formerly the home of
Sir Samuel Hughes, the property is set in lovely
countryside and offers 26 rooms, some in the
original lodge and others along the edge of the
lake. The inn is renowned for its superb dining
and recently a new spa has been added. During
your stay you can stroll through the forests of
the Haliburton Highlands, cruise on the lake, try
a variety of water sports from water-skiing to
swimming or simply relax with a book whilst
listening to the lapping waters of the lake.
Prince Edward County
Jutting into the deep blue waters of Lake Ontario
between Toronto and Ottawa, Prince Edward
County is a mecca for artists, nature lovers and
anyone looking for an island-style adventure.
Renowned for its sailing, fishing and giant sand
dunes, it is also known for its live theatre, artists’
studios and galleries, delicious local food and a
growing wine industry. The historic towns of
Kingston and Gananoque are easily accessible
and from here cruises head out to the beautiful
Thousand Islands on the St. Lawrence Seaway
formed, according to Iroquois legend, by a battle
between two giants who hurled great granite
boulders into the river.
MERRILL INN,
PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY
The Merrill Inn was built in 1878 for Sir Edward
Merrill, a local attorney and friend of Sir John A.
MacDonald, Canada’s first Prime Minister. A
historically significant building for its unique
architectural style, Merrill House was converted
into a charming inn in the 1980s. There are just
13 comfortable guest rooms, each with a
luxurious bathroom, and a superb restaurant and
wine bar. The gardens are a delight and have a
lovely patio – the perfect place to relax with a
book and a glass of local wine. The current
owners, Edward and Amy Shubert, have over 40
years of combined hospitality expertise and assure
you of a warm and friendly welcome.
