Friendly staff and great service. Beautiful views and lots to do for the entire family. Cottage was dirty and appeared to not have been cleaned in awhile. Bedrooms are tiny but living area is roomy. Spa was adequate and staff were friendly and attentive.

Fantastic destination within a couple of hours drive from the GTA. Staff are welcoming, happy and friendly. Dined for breakfast in a beautiful dining room overlooking Rice Lake and watched the wildlife play, had dinner outside on a patio surrounded by fresh Lilacs in a setting that looks like a private garden and the staff were great on each occasion....

Hello Thomas A. and thanks so much for your thoughtful review. We are so glad you enjoyed this glorious and summer-like Victoria Day Weekend with us. If I were to try and write the experience we truly want guests to have at Elmhirst's I couldn't have written it better myself. Of course it helps when Mother Nature helps out at... More

Our group meets at Elmhirst every May. Great set-up with conference facilities and break-out rooms available. Great for relaxing afterwards with the bar, spa and restaurant. The cabins are clean and well-laid out. Have just enough amenities to make you comfortable and allow for some 'down' time. We always enjoy it. Heard some grumbling about the food this time but...

We stayed at Elmhirst Resort this weekend and had a lovely time. Lovely accommodation, with great beds, linens and more than enough towels. There is adequate cooking utensils in the kitchen, you might want to bring a couple of extra pots and pans if you intend bigs meals and the oven is on the smaller size (just so you know... More

We often use Elmhirst for meetings and workshops - great facilities and great prices. I've never been in the summer, but imagine it is beautiful. The cabins are clean and comfortable and the meeting rooms have always met our needs. My only complaint is that the meeting rooms can be chilly in the winter b/c of all the windows. The... More

Many thanks for sharing your feedback. We do our best to provide an atmosphere where delegates and colleagues can acheive the results they are looking for but still relax and bond at the same time. Thanks for noticing the meals for guests with specific dietary needs as well but we try to anticipate their needs and present food in keeping... More

Owners went above and beyond to create a once in a lifetime gathering for 27 women. The conservatory was the hub for socializing and activities but the winter wonderland grounds(and lake) were the highlight in affirming why we live in Southwestern Ontario. Great to have the casual relaxation of the welcoming cottages yet the opportunity to treat oneself to sumptuous... More

Just had a WONDERFUL weekend at Elmhirst's celebrating a dear friend's birthday. Could not have been better. The food and service was fantastic, Martina's massage at the SPA was incredible. A beautiful setting, and a winter wonderland. Sunday Brunch is not to be missed!

1000 pardons, I thought I was addressing the guest of honour with the response to Laurel M's posting (I thought a nom de plume perhaps....).

If you are considering a family friendly resort, a weekend getaway for two, a girls weekend or a spa getaway that offers full spa treatments and services, exercise room, sauna, indoor/outdoor pool and games room. Here you'll find excellent cuisine in both the restaurant that overlooks Rice Lake or the pub, consider the Elmhirst family at Elmhirst's Resort. The Sunday... More

We have got a cottage with two bedrooms, king size beds and two bathrooms, one with shower the other with Jacuzzi tub. The kitchen was fully equipped, including even a small dishwasher.
