Moi et mon amie avons adoré notre expérience a cette hôtel! Le personnel étais professionnel et as notre écoute, quand nous avions des questions, ils se faisaient plaisir de nous répondre et de satisfaire le mieux possible a nos demandes. |L’intérieur es superbe, et il y avais une salle de détente avec des jeux de société, se qui était génial. Le terrain es immense! |Pour les restaurants, bien que c’étaient vraiment chère , la nourriture était bonne avec une bonne portion. |La chambre que nous avions pris avant 2 grand lit, super confortable et très grande avec un divan, une place de travail ainsi qu’une télévision que nous pouvions facilement brancher son ordinateur dessus pour pouvoir utiliser netflix, disney+… et pour aussi brancher au besoin sa console de jeu vidéo. |Bref notre séjour était génial et si jamais nous devons retourner dans ce coins, nous allons certainement choisir cette hôtel !

I stayed for a night at this cute little spa with a friend who lives in Kingston, so we met in the middle. The spa has 15 rooms, but only one—the honeymoon suite, number 15—has a mini fridge. This was a big surprise, as I’ve come to expect having a place to cool your beverages during a stay. The bedroom and bathroom were spotless, and the beds were queen-sized and ultra-comfortable, with extra pillows. The decor features red, orange, and gold undertones, creating a warm ambiance.||If you stay in rooms 8-15, you’ll be on the ground level, which I recommend, as it comes with a walk-out private terrace with reclining chairs. Within walking distance, there are three outdoor hot tubs, which we thought were the highlight of this place. The rooms offer views of lots of greenery. Rooms 1-7 are upstairs, which means you don’t have to carry your luggage down any stairs, but you won’t have a terrace and will have to walk a bit further to reach the hot tubs. However, it’s manageable as you can use one of the robes provided in the room. Be aware that there are no slippers, so bring your own flip-flops to move around the spa.||The restaurant was another highlight. The food is surprisingly tasty and homemade. If you visit in the fall, the seasonal menu is a must-try—especially the soup, kale salad, and pumpkin ravioli, which are simply delicious. The included breakfast was alright, but I appreciated that they offered one non-dairy milk option (I believe it was oat milk), which made me happy.||There’s a daily yoga class from 10-11 am in a small room with large mirrors. We squeezed nine people into the space, and the instructor mentioned that it was the largest class she had ever taught at the spa. There weren’t enough yoga blocks for everyone to have two each, and I was glad I brought my own mat from home since the provided ones were just enough. Despite the tight space, I enjoyed the basic yoga class, and the sunlight streaming in through the large windows was lovely.||For treatments, I tried reflexology. There are no Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) on site, so you’ll need to pay out-of-pocket for any treatments. Reflexology was interesting—not quite what I expected, as it felt more like pressure on certain points of my feet rather than a traditional massage. Since I’m not an expert, I just went along with the experience. I was offered a complimentary hand or head massage and chose the latter, which was lovely.||The parking lot is fairly generous in size and is included with your stay. We had two cars for one room, and it was no issue. Upon arrival, you are greeted with a non-alcoholic pink drink. My friend arrived later and didn’t receive one, but I enjoyed mine after the long drive. If you miss it, just ask for it at the front desk. The staff was attentive and calm throughout our stay. The facilities are very clean but simple, with a small steam room and an even smaller dry sauna. I’m not tall, but I couldn’t lie down on the bench in the dry sauna.||Despite the fact that the facilities are small and offer limited activities, we had a really good, relaxing two-day stay overall.

We stayed one night over thanksgiving weekend. The property is gorgeous with well maintained walking trails to enjoy. We took advantage of the outdoor hot tub and were blown away by the fantastic service and food and the restaurant. ||Our room was extremely clean and comfortable. The staff/owners offered incredible hospitality. Sadly, we didn’t take advantage of spa services but will be back to spend more time at this resort. ||Absolutely stunning property!

I had the pleasure with a friend to experience what we called a totally unique service from this spa. From the time we checked in with Andrea, a pleasant and friendly face who took the time to assist 2 not so tech savvy people with the TV set up to serving us with our High Tea.
Our spa treatments were uniquely different than what we have experienced and our 2 massage therapists couldn’t have been more professional.
Our dinner that night was excellent and so was our server. He couldn’t have done anything else to make it as perfect as it was. Portions were perfect!
In the morning, we were met with our breakfast server, again food and the service was exceptional. We had a chance to talk to Mona and the only reason I couldn’t give it a 5/5 as one that has had a knee replacement…the shower/tub combination was too high for me to get in and the grab bar wasn’t in my arm’s length to grab.
With the sprawling grounds, this place has the potential to become such a welcoming space with a lot more people to enjoy. Our spa package and accommodations were perfect and so was the price point.
The extremely expensive retreat along the highway further east from Northumberland, which I have stayed at..doesn’t come close to what you get for your dollar here!
Thank you Mona and your exceptional hospitality and staff!

5 star review for this warm and welcoming spa! My hubby and I came here after our wedding for a 2 night relaxing stay. The people who work at the front desk and the most kind hearted and accommodating people! When I first got there, I really wanted to make sure that we were in the king size bed and they upgraded it for us right away and gave us a beautiful room! It was also very clean. They made sure that we were comfortable during our entire stay and was able to give us breakfast at different times and even delivered it to our room! The yoga was great, the food was great, and the rest and relaxation was just what we needed. We felt so welcomed the entire time. Thank you so much for having us!!!

We recently visited the wellness spa for a one-night getaway, and while there are some areas for improvement, our overall experience was pleasant and worth the price.

The food was definitely a highlight, with the green curry and butter chicken standing out as particularly delicious. The samosas were tasty but a bit on the pricey side. The staff was exceptionally nice and hospitable, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.

The beds were incredibly comfortable, and we had an amazing night’s sleep. The hot tub was a great addition, though it’s worth noting that one of them was out of order during our stay. The trails and property are beautifully maintained, providing a peaceful setting for relaxation.

One suggestion would be to have the fire pit in the garden lit up, as it would add to the ambiance of the evening. We didn’t try any of the treatments, but if you’re looking for a quiet and reasonably priced retreat, this is a good option with a lot of potential.

I have been here twice (two years ago and today!) and both times have had an exquisite experience. This is a great getaway from the hustle and bustle of downtown Toronto. I love the staff, they are kind and welcoming. Everyone provides a comfortable and relaxing stay. The food is always incredible as are the spa treatments. Definitely try the holistic Indian Ayurvedic treatments if you come here. Thank you Northumberland Heights Wellness Retreat! Will definitely be coming back.
