We attended a group event for 20 people. Dinner Friday was Coq au Vin which consisted of tough chicken in a broth like sauce (no spoon to put the sauce on the rice). Dinner Sat was a choice of pasta or roast beef. Beef was precooked and sliced with a slicer with slices rolled together and heated- not the prime rib we were all anticipating for sure. On a positive note the asparagus grown locally was excellent. For those ordering off the menu they may have had a better experience
Wine choices were primarily Ontario - were out of the first ones selected. food and beverage manager Susan was very helpful and identifying an alternative.

Cabins and bedrooms are a good size with a BBQ on each deck where you have an excellent view of the lake - each cabin has a dock - there are also lots of walking options in the area, Shopping in Lakeview or Bobcaygeon - recommend Bigley's shoe store - huge. Disappointed on arrival there were no coffee mugs to go with the coffee pot - discovered them in the dishwasher with lots of other unwashed dishes. Told the reception desk at check out and they did not seem too concerned and did not apologize.

Could be great if you brought your own food and possibly if you ordered off the menu. Relaxing location.

Room tip: If you like a shower and not a big jacuzzi tub - let them know

As part of our holiday to Canada we spent a wonderful week at Elmhirst Resort. It is such an excellent base with so much to offer. From sitting on the deck outside your cottage with your feet up to taking a sightseeing tour of Rice Lake in a float plane.
From the moment we arrived till the moment we left all the team were very helpful and made us both feel very welcome. We got time to spend some time and chat with Peter Elemhirst the owner as he prepared a dock in the lake so that we could have our flight in the float plane.
A paddle on the lake in a open Canadian canoe, pony trek and ATV tour were some of the more adventurous activities we tried. Before taking a swim in the indoor pool, relaxing in the Hot Tub and then in the Dry Sauna.
The Sunday Brunch is not to be missed as well as the fine dining in the restaurant of an evening. As well as a couple of evening enjoying a cold beer or 2 while watching the Stanley Cup play-offs on the TV in the Bar.
Thank you to everyone for making our holiday so special.

Room tip: As we were celebrating our 25th Wedding anniversary we were in the 1 bedroom Honeymoon cottage, but all the cottages looked lovely with excellent views over the lake.

Attended for a conference. Service very polite and genuine. Food quality good and many ingredients produced on site or local. Great to see a family business continue. Bar is neat with sports and aviation memorabilia. Seaport, grass strip.

Back from a wonderful girls' weekend. Amazing private wine tasting at Elmhirst Resort was the highlight of the weekend. Peter was an incredible host. What a unique experience. Our cabin slept 10 very comfortably. Resort was easy to get to. We will go back.
