Perfect place to unwind from the city: If you're looking for a country getaway where you can relax and unwind for the weekend, then Millcroft Inn & Spa is the perfect option. It's a popular getaway for Toronto's city folk, a great site for weddings, not to mention a spa + culinary weekend - and the fact that it's only 45-60 minutes from downtown Toronto is absolutely unbeatable.
Built at the site of an old historic wool or knitting mill from 1881, the property has been transformed into a beautiful, charming, and historic inn. They've got a wonderful variety of accommodations where no room which is the same: classic rooms in the main Millcroft Inn overlooking the waterfall; luxurious rooms with more privacy at the Manor House; and family friendly Croft lofts with two-storeys and private fireplaces and jacuzzis.
Recently expanded in 2004, the Spa at the Millcroft Inn is a decadent treat like no other. Rare spa treatments like an organic chocolate pedicure or wrap; a Japanese Ofuru treatment; or a Swiss Kur provide relaxation, rejuvenation, and inspiration. For an additionally glamorous weekend, Chef Robert Fracchioni offers an evening beginning with a cooking demonstration followed by a tasting menu. His sense of flavours and vivacious passion for all things gastronomic and Italian create the perfect setting for a fun evening and delicious journey at the Inn's four-diamond restaurant.
