Came here recently for a professional conference. The cabins are a bit aged, and need just a little more TLC. The grounds are also just a little overgrown. Just need the grounds-keepers to whack back the growth to give it a slightly better "kept" appearance. That being said, the SERVICE was MARVELOUS !!! These people know how to treat their... More

I went to the resort to give a talk on local food, and was thrilled to see what they do about local food there. They grow almost all their food on the property, which used to be a farm and is in a very scenic farm area overlooking Rice Lake.The staff were super-friendly, the facilities for meetings of medium sized...

This was our group's 11th year coming here for a reunion. When we come there are up to 7 families. The space is perfect for us with lots of room for the younger ones to run around, and comfortable places with great views for chatting and eating.

In our desperate quest for some peace and quite, my husband and I stayed for four mid-week, very cold days, just returning yesterday. We have been with our daughters before, but this time we stayed in the one-bedroom de-luxe cottage on our own. We really appreciated the king bed, the fireplace, the whirlpool bath and the beautiful view from the... More

The staff here were wonderful. I was there for a group event/workshop and staff were more than accommodating. The meeting room has a wonderful outdoor view, and was well laid out. Snacks/coffee/tea were just outside, which meant it could be set up without disruption. Washrooms were close at hand (and clean). The restaurant set up was good for our group,... More

We stayed here for a biology conference during February. The cottage we stayed in was awesome and had a nice rustic, comfortable feel with all of the amenities of a modern residence (flatscreen TV, spa tub, large beds). The staff were all friendly and were very accommodating for the needs of the guests. As well, the resort has a pool,... More

Stayed over night in a delightful cottage with lake view, well appointed bedrooms and fireplace. Everything you could possibly want in a short term stay. The virtual Winemaker's Dinner was fantastic and the kitchen and service team did a great job. Brunch the next day was very good. Very good value for the whole package. Highly recommended.

Thanks so much for the thoughtful feedback. We always enjoy planning and delivering the Winemakers events and we appreciate the trust participants put in us to make a few food and wine decisions on their behalf. I'm glad you enjoyed the cottage as well...the only thing better than a winemakers dinner is a dinner followed by a peaceful slumber and... More

Cottage was a fair size.The basement room offered more privacy however the bathroom was very small and the shower wouldn't drain,the room was also very cold. Beautiful views, nice staff, food was absolutely horrible from both the pub and fine dinning,cottages could have been cleaner. Overall experience was good. Would go back but bring my own food.

Rain and fog is not typical January weather for the Peterborough area, but our stay at the Elmhirst made it very enjoyable. Our boys and their friends had the indoor pool and games room pretty much to themselves, and our cottage was very comfortable. We were close enough to Peterborough to pop into town for one meal etc, but didn't... More

You and your travelling companions obviously go out to have fun together and don't let anything get in the way; well done!!
