Elm Hurst Inn & Spa

We had a wonderful anniversary dinner at the restaurant at the Elm Hurst Inn and Spa. From the moment we arrived, the experience felt special, and a large part of that was thanks to our server, Jackie. She was absolutely phenomenal—warm, attentive, and genuinely engaging. Her sense of humour put us at ease, she took photos for us without being asked, and she went out of her way to make our anniversary feel truly celebrated.|We had read past reviews describing Jackie as both elegant and funny, and we could not agree more. In fact, we would add that she is a reason to dine here—she elevated the entire evening and made it unforgettable.|The food was equally impressive. Every dish was excellent, but the standout was the duck. My husband is a longtime duck enthusiast and has had it many times in many places, and he said this was one of the best preparations he has ever had—perfectly cooked and full of flavour.|It was a flawless evening from start to finish. If you are dining here, we sincerely hope you get Jackie as your server—you will not be disappointed.

We recently enjoyed our daughter's wedding at Elmhurst. The service, scenery, staffing was exemplary. Everyone was accommodating and very willing to go the extra mile to help. The rooms were wonderfully furnished, warm and romantic. The food was stellar. I truly mean that. This was gourmand cuisine. We had approximately 100 guests and everyone was served in a timely manner. The food options were vast. The Master Chef got involved and graciously accommodated some last minute food desires and that which he prepared was far beyond our expectations. I am giving a solid 5 stars simply because this format doesn't afford me the opportunity to select more.

Had a wonderful experience for a rehearsal dinner at Elmhurst. Jackie went above and beyond to help make this event so special. She was so personal, kind, funny and such a great presence in the room! She deserves a HUGE shout out, what an asset to your team!

Outstanding Experience at Elm Hurst Inn & Spa! We recently hosted a business dinner with our reception team at Elm Hurst Inn & Spa, and we can't rave enough about the experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff was warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The food menu offered amazing choices, and every dish we tried was absolutely delicious—definitely did not disappoint! A special shoutout to Jackie, who took care of us throughout the evening. Her service was nothing short of exceptional—attentive, friendly, and genuinely caring. To top it all off, Jackie entertained us with her own musical talents (@jachammermusic) We will definitely be hosting another work dinner at Elm Hurst Inn in the future. The team absolutely loved it! Highly recommend for both business and pleasure!

We chose the Elm Hurst to celebrate my boyfriend’s daughter’s 10th birthday because we wanted to give her a “fancy” dining experience and make the night feel special. Unfortunately, the entire experience was extremely disappointing. The food took an incredibly long time to arrive and when it finally did, it was cold. The tremendously over priced scallops were nearly invisible on the plate. The duck was overcooked, and served with what was supposed to be a potato string but was completely burnt to a crisp. The prime rib had more fat than meat. To make matters worse, most dishes came with the same sides, which felt lazy and uninspired for a higher-end restaurant. For a meal that was almost $400, I expected well-prepared food served at the proper temperature, strong attention to detail, and professional, attentive service throughout. Those expectations were not met. Dessert only added to the disappointment. The dark chocolate pistachio tart was awful and should be reconsidered for the menu. To top it all off, I was overcharged for a glass of wine, which is completely unacceptable and further added to the disappointment. I chose not to raise concerns during the meal to avoid making a child uncomfortable on her birthday. Instead, I called afterward and was told a manager would follow up. It has been over a week with no response. This is especially discouraging as I live nearby and once considered this a go-to option for a more upscale night out. Sadly, this was not my first underwhelming experience here. For the cost, the quality and service simply do not justify the price. Never going back!!!

We enjoyed the loveliest “ Christmas Dinner” with our family and friends today. Jackie was our server and went far and above! She was an absolute darling and brought in a complimentary dessert for our friends birthday. Her voice was absolutely beautiful when she sang and I asked if she sang professionally… she should perform in the evenings here as it would add such a beautiful touch! Thankyou so much Jackie for making our day today so special…💕🎶🎄🎂

The room is morden but the amenities are pretty lacking. The TV is pretty old and even though they advertise certain services. It doesn't exist. The room locks are old and at one point we were locked out of washroom. The food available in the restaurant was not at all upto par and waste of money. We waited super long for food and it was lacking real taste. We ended up looking to go out to get some food. Even next day we looked for brunch and when we went to get a table we were told no even though the restaurant was empty. We ended up walking out and will recommend not to give your single dollar to this place.

Love! Love! Love this place!!! The staff is AMAZING - many have been here for years and welcome you back each time. It’s clean. It’s comfortable. It’s intimate and the dining experience is incredible. Jackie is the best, attentive, great energy with the biggest smile! So much more I could say. Can’t wait to come back!

This place has quite the reputation! I've known about it for years if not decades. You used to be able to see the wooden part, where the name is printed, from the highway, but now the trees cover that view. We finally got to stay!! So, we were fortunate enough to stay here recently for 3 nights. I got pampered and spoiled! Even had a wonderful manicure. Elm Hurst Inn lived up to their reputation!! Breakfast was included, and it was good - even better when the chef was there to make the omelet! The staff was very pleasant, knowledgeable, and happy to help. After 4 days there, I went home feeling refreshed!! I hope to be able to stay there again, one day.

Had a chance to experience the Elmhurst Inn & Spa in Ingersoll for the first time. The place is beautiful, very well put together with an old world charm ! We were in a corner room with a fireplace, high ceilings & massive windows. Food is delicious, very well prepared. Staff is friendly, helpful & with big smiles !! The breakfast spread is great with freshly prepared omelettes. Did not get a chance to experience the spa but am sure it is worth the great reviews about it. Everything is clean, well maintained and sparkling!

We were driving back to Indianapolis from Toronto and it was about time for lunch. We found this fancy spa/resort which had a very nice restaurant inside. The building has a lot of history and the grounds are beautiful. The menu is small, but I think most people will be able to find something they like here. I got the prime rib sandwich which was tender, moist, and delicious.

I had fond memories of dining at the Elm Hurst Inn but it's been a while since we visited. That all changed today when a group of friends decided to make a trip to Elm Hurst for lunch. What a disappointment. Two of us ordered the caesar salad and both commented that the salad was bland and tasteless. The dressing hardly had any flavour at all and the lettuce was soft and wilted. Another diner ordered the quiche. The pastry shells were a purchased off the shelf product for certain, because the waitress noted this when the food arrived. I don't know if the filling for the shells was also purchased, but once again it was tasteless. My spouse ordered a tart desert that lacked any flavour whats so ever. I don't mind paying a premium for fine dining but the Elm Hurst has just become a huge rip off. The grounds of the Elm Hurst are still beautiful, but I suggest touring the property for free....before heading into town for a tasty meal.

This is a great rural inn to spend the weekends and relax. The scene is amazing. the equipment and facility are rather out-dated but adequate in my view. The breakfast is simple but also adequate.the scrambled eggs are great. service is very good.ask the waiting staff for additional coffee. This establishment is gigantic. I don't think anyone can explore everything in a day. So definitely a multi-visit spot.

my niece Sarah and I had the best pedicure we've ever had. thank you Angela and Rachelle for your excellent customer service. we've had many pedicures, but honestly you can't go wrong when you have Angela and Rachelle do your pedicure.

Love The Elmhurst. Food is tasty. We have had weddings, birthday parties and baby showers here. Always perfect!

We went for a birthday celebration, a little splurge. For $44 I didn't expect the prime rib to be chewy and overdone. I ordered medium rare, and got well done. The potatoes we're undercooked and hard. We won't be returning.

It's a nice resort. There is a very large trail/garden. If you are into that, you will like it. The facilities and rooms are old. Their restaurants's menu stays the same most of the time, and there is no other decent restaurant nearby. There is no pool. Parking and breakfast are free. In conclusion, it's a nice spot if you are just looking for a weekend's getaway in the London area.

Perfect location for a special dinner Grounds are stunning. Servers are superb. The charcuterie Board was good ... perhaps a little uninspired. The chicken breast was tender and juicy. The seasonal vegetables cooked to perfection. The dessert menu is confusing but delicious. This is where you come to eat .. chat ... enjoy.

I had a meeting this morning in Tillsonburg. Rather than drive down tomorrow, I went yesterday afternoon. There's interesting history. James Harris erected the James Harris Cheese Factory on the grounds of what is now Elm Hurst Inn & Spa in 1865. One year later, the factory was the birthplace of a 7,300 pound cheese, co-manufactured by local producers to put Ingersoll on the map. The famous 'Mammoth Cheese' travelled to exhibitions in Toronto, Sarasota New York, Paris France and London England. The Elm Hurst mansion restaurant was built in 1872 as the personal residence of James Harris and family. A fine example of the Gothic Revival style, it remained a stately family home for more than a century. The last Harris heir sold the property in the mid 1970s and the house was transformed into a popular dining establishment that opened in 1979. An addition was added to the rear of the original structure five years later, with the 49-room Elm Hurst Inn & Spa being built in 1988. I heard they are adding another 51 rooms this year. My room was large. I had supper in the restaurant ... there isn't anything else within walking distance. They are having a promotion this week to celebrate their anniversary and rolled the prices back to 1975. Needless to say, it was quite a busy spot. I was seated in a cozy room which was probably a parlour back in the old days. I ordered the Roast Prime Rib of Beef (Yorkshire pudding; natural beef jus) for $14 (usually it's $27 to $34). About a minute later (I hadn't even had a chance to butter a roll), my meal arrived on a "don't touch the plate, it's hot" plate ... surprisingly the food wasn't. It was just warm. It was just okay. The veggies (I ate the peppers and carrots) had the texture that they'd been frozen. Christine, my server, was friendly and helpful. She suggested I try the Black Forest cake. I'm not a fan of Black Forest cake but it was good. I had a comfortable stay and would go back. WIFI is free as is parking and a continental breakfast. I booked it online at a rate of $139 which is a great deal! Ingersoll is just a couple km away.

Been eating here for 20 years. It's always managed to keep a high standard. Not cheap but always good. Great place for larger groups...and the brunches and special days buffets are really good.

Beautiful hotel with an excellent restaurant. I was in the area for a business meeting. Hotel choices in this area a very limited so I was delighted to find such a lovely place in the middle of nowhere! My stay was very brief. I hope I get to stay longer next time & really explore the place.

Always have found the food here to be.nicely prepared, presented, and delicious. Whether an intimate couple or large family gathering, we have enjoyed the ambience, pleasant and helpful servers. Highly recommend. One of our favorites.

Staying at the inn for a couple of nights and decided to have dinner at the restaurant. Pricey but food was excellent, both dishes we had were done perfectly. Compliments to the chef. However, the service from wait staff left lots of room for improvement. Got the impression that because we were not big drinkers that the service was sub-par. 5 stars for the food and 2 stars for the service.

Checked in and reception was polite and helpful. Took my luggage to my room on 3rd floor. Nice quiet view of the grounds and woodlands. Well groomed grounds, polite and obliging staff. Felt comfortable and relaxed: main reason for booking after the past 6 months of misery working for a piece of work! M.A.Ali. Spa tomorrow morning after breakfast. Then toot around the Oxford County area and back towards home. Looking forward to more TLC.

Having so much fun at The Elmhurst hotel. Had a delightful supper in Prince Charles room. Our room is so cosy and spacious. We are in Lord Connaught room. The staff are very warm and friendly. We enjoyed walking the grounds and enjoyed the walking trail viewing a river.

I found this place on Groupon and the deal was too good to pass up! I booked myself 2 nights over the holidays and I am so glad I did. While I wasn't impressed with the spa, I did enjoy use of the steam room and sauna. I also wasn't impressed with either RMT I had and wouldn't return to either one, but the overall experience I had with the Inn itself is good enough to leave me excited to return. The room was comfortable, the bed was so good I actually hugged it goodbye my final morning. The linens were lovely, the view was beautiful (I was in room 209 - rear view - very good). Also it was impeccably clean and the bathroom had been recently renovated. It was very nice overall. The food was the best part for me, I had the Prime Rib Buffet my first night and I actually spent 2 hours in the dining room from start to finish (yes, alone!). The food was delicious, fresh and more than I expected of a buffet. It included a wide variety of salad (including quinoa and cranberry! mmm), 3 meat choices, a good cheese selection, pasta station, and some seafood (the shrimp was amazing). I was disappointed with the fact that they don't serve Yorkshire pudding with the prime rib however, especially since it comes with it if you order it as a main. I had been looking forward to that the entire ride up! Oh well. The desert selection was good, although there could have been a few dark chocolate options. I had espresso with dessert (which I assumed was covered in the cost of the buffet but it wasn't!) and I have to say, they make a very good espresso. And I am picky. The regular coffee is also very good. The house wine was also great, both red and white, and I enjoyed the fact that I could finish it in the lounge after my meal was finished. The second evening I ordered the goat cheese tower thingy as an appetizer and it was the most refreshing and tasty appetizer I've ever had. I wish it came as an entrée. I am salivating just thinking about it. I also asked for a chicken caeser salad. It wasn't on the menu but the server assured me it was a simple request so that is what I ordered. I was still kind of full from the night before (LOL), but it was delicious. So was the complimentary selection of artisan breads and whipped butter. I enjoyed the included breakfast buffet both mornings. It's no Sunday brunch but the selection of fruit, yogurt, trail mix, oats and pastries was a nice compliment to the regular scrambled eggs and bacon (both still quite good!). I found the hotel staff to be incredibly accommodating and genuinely nice. I was fighting off a flu and they kept the hot water and lemon flowing at all of my mealtimes and even delivered it to my room at no charge (within the kitchen's hours). I did try to explore Ingersoll, I wanted to experience the Cheese Museum! But it was closed for the holiday season. All the regular stuff is available in town though. Shoppers Drug Mart came in handy, and there are restaurants and cafes should you not want to spend the $ on dinner at the mansion. Although you won't regret it if you do! I will definitely return.

I have only gone to the Elm Hurst for dinner and I have to say its always been great! The food is always amazing! Not usually to busy so no wait at all to be seated and the chef there is awesome! I've loved everything I've ordered from there! I've been three times for dinner for special occasions like My Birthday dinner or a night out with my husband. I had the macadamia nut zucchini fritters and it was so good! I usually pick salmon for my main dish. I've had the Cajun salmon on a sweet potato flap jack with maple and It was really good! Also had the risotto with pink ginger and I've been attempting to recreate it myself because it was so yummy! I can't comment on the rooms to stay there or the spa because I haven't been. But I intend on trying out the Spa in the near future. I've had lots of family that have attended weddings there and gone to brunch and no one has anything bad to say about it! Buffets are not my thing so ill just stick to the dinners!

Came for a wedding. Not good- Clearly understaffed and I the Manager was clearly in over his head.

We came to this hotel with high expectations, only because the price was so high you would figure right? Well, the staff are welcoming enough but we had booked out spa treatments and they ended up being later in the day so we went to the 'mansion restaurant' to have bite to eat for dinner since this place is located in the middle of nowhere. Upon entering the near-empty restaurant, we were asked if we had any reservations... Looking around I was intrigued as to whom was all booked up in the empty seats at around 6pm... not really anyone, so thanks for asking? Anyway we were seated at a table. I ordered an 8$ Paritian Onion Soup and was informed that that the dish was really hot, but when I went to try it the soup was warm. Not only that, but the cheese was so gummy and I had to sit and chew at it for a while and the texture just made me want to throw up... Eventually I did take a whole wad out. Mind you, I have had the same soup at another resturant and this one was no where near the expectations that I had anticipated. My mom ordered $10 house salad and had to ask for dressing because they seemed to be afraid to add any to the bare cluster of leaves before her. We both ordered a Parmesan Chicken at a 'value' of $17.. I was shocked! The penne pasta was the side for the chicken and it was alright, but the chicken was tasteless! For that price, we both sent it back and decided not to have anything at all after that as the appetite was ruined already. No point in ordering more dissappointments. NOW, for what we truly came for; the spa! I got a pedicure and it was alright considering it was my first. And my mom enjoyed the Indian head and scalp massage as it exceeded her expectations.. I got the same massage the next day and it was refreshing, but as my mom had explained to me what she had recieved, I had spotted some inconsistency but I guess different people have a certain way of doing things... Anyway my mom enjoyed the Reflexology and found it to be informative and relaxing. There was a bar of some sort located within the Inn but there was never anyone tending to it and everytime we passed by we just saw empty bottles sitting on the tables every so often. Later in the night at around 10 we asked the person at the front desk if there was someone to serve us a drink when we were playing pool and they said that the bar was closed. I was wondering when it had been open at all that day.. Hence the empty bottles? I kind of figured at this point that if you didnt pay for the use of the facilities, they couldn't care less to offer you anything more than what you paid for. Very piss poor. At least I enjoyed the spa...

Overall, a good stay but there's certainly room for improvement. The grounds were spacious and quiet and my rating would be 3.5/5. The room was spacious and modern. The beds were comfortable and had complimentary bottled water, coffee and tea. Robes and slippers were provided. However, we had to ask for some basic toiletries such as cotton swabs and shower caps - it would've been nice if they were already in the room instead of having to walk all the way to the lobby to get them. We were on the Sunday night prime rib buffet dinner package. Aside from the prime rib, there was stuffed pork and chicken breast, as well as made-to-order pasta. There were also a few salads and other cold appetizers, such as smoked salmon and different cheeses, as well as a variety of desserts. The prime rib and pasta were good but the desserts were only subpar and some of the dishes lacked flavour. In general, it was a basic buffet that certainly could benefit from more selection. We also booked a massage in the spa. The amenities included a hot tub (which was across from the reception desk.. shielded with a thin see-through lace), sauna and steam room, which were quite small but no one walked in when we were using it so it was okay. There was an area where you can help yourselves to beverages and granola bars. The locker room lacked toiletries such as body lotion and cotton swabs. The breakfast buffet is, again, quite basic. There were a variety of different juices but the food selections weren't that great. Other than cereal and a toaster for bagels, English muffins, etc., the only hot items were bacon, scrambled eggs and potatoes. A waffle machine and made-to-order eggs would've made it so much better! Service was friendly but at times inattentive. We had to ask for coffee, cream and water. I would say this place has potential but it certainly needs improvement in some areas to make it a better experience for their guests.

I've been coming here once a year for 6 years for work. Our group always gets treated very well. The rooms have recently been updated (they were looking a little tired) and have a more modern look and feel. The restaurant is good, but I will say the Sunday buffet prime rib is always well done (I had it on a Monday from the menu and was very good). Also at the buffet is the bowl of pickled herring. That's my favourite. Peter (bald guy) usually serves us and does a fantastic job. He knows the menu well, makes informed recommendations and ensures your group has a great time. Nobody leaves unsatisfied. The Inn tends to be a popular meeting spot for seniors (the Red Hat Society meets on Tuesdays), which isn't a bad thing, but the lunch buffet can get pretty busy as a result. All in all, a good place.

I'd like to separate the experience of staying here from eating here. I visited in off-season with family, so we couldn't explore the grounds too much and it wasn't too busy for dining. Check in was a bit weird - the person at the desk was super twitchy, like she'd just had a giant coffee, or something fishier, and when we asked about making a reservation for dinner she just pointed down the hallway rather than offering to call and make it for us. We weren't sure where to go at first and had to ask again to make sure we made it to the right place. The room: Narrow and small, seemed newly re-done with nice furnishings and a very nice shower. Nothing too special for the price. As others have noted, you may think you'll be able to use the hot tub and sauna, but the location is not convenient so even though we'd packed our suits, we didn't bother. 3/5 Dinner in the dining room: Very fancy, with a mix of reactions to the food. I thought I'd have 2 appetizers instead of a main so I could try more options. Total mistake. I tried the house favourite beer-cheese soup and it didn't have much flavor going for it. Then I got the smoked salmon goat cheese crepe appetizer, and it was tiny and again had no flavor. Not even of goat cheese, which I love! It was also served totally cold, and cold crepes just aren't very nice. On the flip side, the other two in my party got the quinoa-beet main, which was delicious and came with very nicely done fresh vegetables, and the other tried the prix fixe menu to have an appetizer (carrot ginger soup, very nice) and a main (pork medallions with the same nice fresh vegetables, and a dessert. So my two companions were both quite happy with their choices, while I was disappointed and wished I could have a do-over. 3/5 Breakfast, included in our stay: Buffet style with hot eggs and bacon, which were a bit better than your standard included breakfast fare. This was nice and quiet with no one else there when we arrived. A very nice server was there to provide coffee or tea, though I'm not sure why they didn't just leave those out for people to help themselves. There was yogurt, cereal, juice, a choice of breads to toast, and a nice selection of jams and spreads. Breakfast was probably the best part of the stay, to be honest. 4/5

Tried Elm Hurst dinner buffet a couple of weeks back. Waitress was lovely. My issue was the buffet the food was above average but not happy with the buffet service when asking for a cut of roast paying good money but they are cheap when cutting a portion... will try dinner menu next time was told brunch is lovely. Great experience overall!!

A bit pricey but then again that's what you get for going on mother's day weekend. food was excellent and the staff were super nice, but service took a while and when we came they weren't that busy just yet. The spa staff were again very nice but I have had better massages and for cheaper. The ambience was incredibly relaxing, secluded and surrounded by nature. it was overall a good experience.

Went for a hot stone massage, literally best decision I have made in a long time! Highly recommended if you need some you time!

Had an amazing experience here for my wedding. The staff was excellent, very friendly and helpful. A few makrs deducted because we've asked to put out an item for cocktail hour and it never got put out for my guests. Also, when we were done cutting the cake. The kitchen staff didnt immediately bring it to the back to cut it for the guests. But instead waited a bit too long shortly after most of my guests left (30 minutes later) they brought out the cake.

The room was absolutely beautiful, the Sunday buffet was fantastic, and I had a really lovely facial at the spa! The reason I'm not giving it a 5/5 though is because at the spa, whether I was in the waiting room or in my appointment, I could hear the staff talking ... about the guests there, and even about me! As I was waiting for the person I had come with to be done with their appointment, I could hear them saying, "Yeah, she's just waiting in the lobby ..." in a way that seemed as though they (for some reason) disapproved? Regardless of if they did or not, while I understand that it's going to happen that staff will talk, I felt like it was inappropriate to talk about customers, especially while they're there. Probably something best saved for a staff room. Very inappropriate, especially since it's the spa, which is supposed to be the most relaxing place! Customers shouldn't feel like they're being judged when they go in there. Hoping someone from the establishment sees this so they can discuss it with the employees!

I think the food at Elm Hurst probably deserves a 3. I give a 2 because of the price and the hype. 3 star food and service shouldn't cost nearly as much or be as boring as the food at Elm Hurst. Plated banquet service consisted of tomato soup for appetizer, chicken with mango chutney, beef, potatoes, and beans and carrots. Not exciting, but classic and simple. Prepared properly would have been fantastic. But the soup was just okay. The chicken was overdone. The potatoes were bland. The carrots and beans were undercooked and under seasoned. The small steak (or whatever it was, because it wasn't particularly identifiable) was the highlight of the meal. It was a perfect medium rare, but also under seasoned, unfortunately.

Great place for lunch or Supper. Went with a party of 12, had a private room. Service was excellent! Decor great. Food was excellent. Choice of a-la-cart or buffet with many choices. Great presentation, very good food!

Allison and I have just returned from our second visit to Elmhurst inn and Spa, and again our experience could only be described as outstanding. The accommodations are first rate, and the food is excellent. Peter served us both times and his service is five star. Chris and her staff at the spa went out of their way to make our stay memorable.

Place is overrated for the price, dinner was mediocre and breakfast was horrible. Cold dry eggs, hard pastries and stringy bacon. For the price I expected much more. Room was clean and nice but sheets and towels were rough.

Ive had breakfast and ive had brunch here a few times, i was also there for a wedding the night lady diana passed away. I only stayed there one time and it was amazing. Its very interesting place.

I come here one night a year with a group on our way to Stratford for the week. I always love starting off our trip here; it's a wonderful, relaxing way to unwind after being on the bus all day, and before starting a busy week of seeing shows and touring Stratford. As soon as our bus arrives, the desk staff always has all of our keys ready, in separate envelopes with our individual names on them. This makes checking in quick and easy. There are different options to sit and relax, with servers to take drink orders. The grounds are beautiful. This year, due to poor weather, we didn't have our drinks out on the patio, so we sat in the lounge. All of the other times, though, the grounds have been impeccably taken care of. There are lots of fountains and gardens spread out, so it's easy to find a quiet spot to get away and enjoy the beauty. Dinner is an event. The servers are professional and attentive. The menu has two appetizers, four entrees, and two desserts to choose from. All are fantastic. The vegetarian option is always creative and flavorful. Everyone at our table loved their food; the only complaint was that one person thought she should have been given a steak knife for her pork. Otherwise it was perfect. This is not fast food; I think we spent two hours in the dining area from start to finish. My room was lovely. Very clean, quiet, and cozy. Some slight hallways noise can be heard from the room, but no neighbors. The bathroom was very clean, and although there was no bathtub, the shower was nice and big. The bed is incredibly comfortable. They supply all of the typical items you'd find in most hotel rooms: shampoo, conditioner, lotion, body wash, and soap. The rooms also have Keurigs with complementary K cups (with real mugs) and bottles of water (with real glasses). The breakfast is buffet style; simple but classy. It's all very nice. The place is luxurious! I will definitely keep coming here.

I arrived early for a wedding, and decided to have lunch. I got the buffet option. To begin, there were 3 flies walking around the carving table, knife, and meat, which the server made no effort to swat, even when it was on her hand while carving. The roast meat tasted grey, and I left half. Vegetables were frozen and not enjoyable. The salad options were ok, and the desert selection was good. The servers were friendly and attentive. The setting is very nice. Overall, it was not a $21 buffet (pre tax/tip); rather it was a $15 meal. This is not a place to come to just for the food.

We stayed here on Thursday night. It was very busy, but everything was wonderful for my wife and I. The food was excellent, the service superb and the grounds keeping, top notch! Shmeul himself is an amazing person as well! Thank you for a wonderful stay at Elm Hurst Inn & Spa! We will definitely be back soon!

The food is always great. Beef Prime Rib is always done just right. Salads are great as well. Love the maple butter they have and bread also fantastic. Wine selection is okay, and the overall price for dinner is worth all the price. I love the atmosphere. Visited on many occasions with the (now) wife. Had our wedding there and food was fantastic. All my guests loved it. Would recommend to friends.

The inn and the staff are truly exceptional and it is a place where the atmosphere is one of happiness and a desire to do the best job they can. I was genuinely impressed by the rooms, the cleanliness, the food and of course the staff and the service they provided. If you are looking for a place that makes you feel welcome and a place where average is not acceptable, this is a place for you. It is hard to believe that this sort of place exists in rural Ontario, but it does and it is worth the journey.
