This was a very pleasant surprise. The apartment is very cozy, spacious, clean and has everything you would want.
Especially enjoyed walking through the property and enjoying the view from the balcony out towards the gardens. Had a great walk to the canal and lift locks the next morning which was very picturesque!
An added bonus is the great shopping you can do for plants/flowers and even unique gifts! A great store that the owners run, one that you can spend a lot of time looking through...

We were able to reserve the pool and fitness center for our family to use without worrying about other hotel patrons entering without masks.

I wondered whether the hotel is also a shelter for homeless folks bc there is always homeless people smoking right at the front door. No coats or hoodies. Blowing smoke every time we went in and out.

Service was amazing; room had an incredible view; food and dinning service was amazing; boat rentals were great; advice on fishing was top notch; overall vibe of the resort is one of the best at any place I've ever stayed. Will be going back... possible next month.

We saw one other motel while in Peterborough, and it was an absolute dump in comparison to the Blue Jay. The Blue Jay's rooms are nice and clean, and our room had a new air conditioner that cooled down the room in no time. For the price, and considering that it is a motel, the Blue Jay is a good option. We found the staff to be excellent: very kind and helpful people.

This place is a real hidden gem. It’s comfortable and quiet. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. It’s not too far from Toronto. Close by there are great dinner options and places to visit.

Our stay was short but the time spent was awesome. We did not want to leave. If you are looking for down time, peace and quiet, fun, relaxation, beautiful serene area, breath taking views, then this is the place. It left us wanting more. We will be back, next time - longer!
