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.

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

I have visited Elmhirst three times to date. All visits have been during the off-season, and on to occasions the lake was iced over. This is a family-run establishment with a high regard for guest's comfort. Everyone is geared to help. The cottages are all well-equipped, so the kitchens are usable. On previous occasions we have had nice meals in... More

Let me start by saying that I usually only put in my reviews for resorts down south-Caribbean. Then I realized all the great resorts that we have in Canada and the resorts I visited over the last 12-13 years. I have visited the big resorts in Alberta (Kananiskis, Jasper) as well as a number of the big resorts in Ontario... More
