NORTH HATLEY, Quebec, July 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Manoir Hovey was named the #1 Resort & Inn in Canada in the Travel + Leisure World's Best Awards 2016; it was announced today.

To celebrate the award, Manoir Hovey will give away a two-night stay in a luxury suite to one lucky couple in its #WorldsBestGetaway photo contest.
