I took my three daughters (all in their twenties) to HighFields for an overnight visit this past weekend. We were welcomed by Norma, who gave us a tour of all the facilities and made us feel so relaxed and cared for, we looked forward to every part of our stay. The spa services were fantastic. One of my daughters has life-threatening allergies to nuts and legumes, and they made sure that all products were safe for her. Lisa gave us all a massage and her skill and warmth made our experience absolutely incredible! We stayed in the Loft, a coxy and comfortable space with a combined kitchen/lounge and a bedroom, incredible views over the fields. Both the spa and our accommodations were very clean and well-appointed, and the fridge in our room was stocked with all kinds of things to make ourselves a lovely brunch the next morning. We took some great walks through the gorgeous fields and woods on well-marked paths, and hated to leave. We'll always remember our stay - we had a great weekend, thank you Lisa and Norma!
HIGHFIELDS IS A DREAM COME TRUE
There's one thing for sure, Norma Daniels knows how to run a spa! Attention is paid to every detail. Along with her staff, Lisa & Michelle, they make a great team.
After driving through magnificent countryside reaping with agricultural seasonal goodies, I arrived on an early Friday morning over the Labour Day weekend totally stressed and full of muscle spasms!
Everything about this property was lovely, from the long winding entrance, the manicured gardens and grounds, the outdoor pool and tennis courts to the rustic beauty of rooms filled with local antiques and art. After a warm greeting and tour with Norma, I began my day with Michelle and wonderful detoxing treatments, lunch was served on the veranda with breathtaking views, and the afternoon was spent having an Indian Head massage! As I was staying overnight, Norma offered to prepare dinner for me as I didn't want to eat alone. I enjoyed a lovely cozy evening with Norma and her friend exchanging stories and savouring shrimp cocktails, fresh linguini with scallops and local asparagus. Needless to say, I slept like a baby that night! The next morning I experienced a Thai massage with Lisa. Lisa has travelled the world and has brought back with her treatments from different cultures she favours particularily from Asia. Well, the Thai massage was the most relaxing experience ever. My body was stretched and massaged from every angle, and I actually felt five inches taller when she was finished with me.
As I was driving home feeling like a new woman, tears of joy filled my eyes. I realized I had found a treasurew, and it shared with me one of those peak experiences in life.
That treasure was HighFields.

The # 1 place we want to come back to! We spent 2 nights at the HighFields Inn and Spa to celebrate our nieces 40th birthday. The 4 of us stayed in 2 separate rooms. The place was spotless - absolutely clean and tidy. The grounds were lovely with a gorgeous expansive high level view of lower lands.
We live in Toronto and were not sure if this spot would be enough of a getaway, but we were instantly relaxed. The spa treatments are top notch. They offer a very wide variety of choices including detox and health related services. We loved everything we did so much, that we wanted to do more and the staff accommodated our request for additional services. Norma, the owner, was wonderful and gracious. We asked her a million questions about the Inn and Spa treatments and she so patiently answered all our questions. She prepared a lovely continental breakfast each morning. She even took into account my food sensitivities, when I mentioned them. The spa team were wonderful and did a great job. The 4 of us said HighFields was the # 1 spa and inn we'd been to and the place we wanted to return. We've also had similar getaways at Grailsprings and the BenMiller Inn. Thanks to Norma, Lisa, Michelle, Lynn, Teri and everyone else who made our stay a memorable and enjoyable one!
We were thrilled with our 2 Night stay at your charming world class Facility. Our personalized accommodations and privacy was an added bonus. Your country setting and your huge gorgeous grounds, what memories! It was just what we had hoped for on our romantic Anniversary getaway. Your location unrivalled by anything I have seen. It reminded me of an Austrian Retreat.
My wife who suffers constantly from major eczema enjoyed her 2 Spa treatments, Especially the sea-weed wrap. For me a first-timer, I enjoyed both the reflexology and pedicure.
We were so taken in by HighFields that this year we got a gift certificate for my mother's birthday, so she could pamper herself as we did at your exquisite Inn and Spa.

My husband surprised me for Christmas and sent me their with a friend for a 2 night stay in February. Since then I check your website regularly.
I had a fabulous time. It was the first time I had a mud wrap.

I came to your spa in 1999 3 days before a custody hearing. (My ex was trying to get sole custody unknown to me)I was also battling to keep my health. I had Crohns Disease that I wanted to keep in remission. It was an extremely stressful time in my life. After visiting your place for 3 days, at the hearing the judge said he hadn't seen a calmer mother. I was given sole custody. Doctors can no longer find the disease. They said it was a miracle healing. I give your Inn total credit for me being grounded,healthy and calm! I said if I got through the hearing, and ever remarried I would bring my new husband to your place. I am now remarried to a wonderful man! I cannot thank you and your staff for being in the right place at the right time in my life! Now I hope to return once again but at a happier time in my life.

This is a very welcoming environment and the energy is great. Lisa's passion
for her work shines through and please don't 'do a - - ' where you get too
big to remember all the small things that make it all work and be so
special.
Peter & Debra Barry
We always feel very welcome at your Inn. We usually come to visit the Spa to have treaments, mainly massages. The Staff are always Very Friendly, Helpful and Welcoming! We will definitely keep coming back!
Wayne & Nicole Stevens :)
Had a great time. It was the perfect relaxing getaway I needed!

It's a testament to care and personal service that Norma knows all the
treatments and does them - she's not the 'distant owner' but a partipant.
Just a big 'Thank You' to everyone. Your care and graciousness are so
appreciated.

To all the wonderful staff @ HighFields.
Your extra time and effort to make our stay special did not go unnoticed. We felt like royalty the spa treatments were out of this world. You made my Grandparents 70th Anniversary a relaxing and memorable experience we will always cherish.
Love the Davies Family
I stayed at your Inn approx 3 years ago. My stay was absolutely fantastic. Friendly staff, clean facilities, nice comfy rooms and beds. Beautiful view from the pool area. The spa treatments were wonderfully relaxing.

I liked everyone's personal approach, friendlyness, intimate soothing music.
Thank you all!

My husband originally found Highfields and booked it as a surpirse..I believe it was through the yellow pages; we were so pleased we have returned and stayed overnight and enjoyed the quiet ambiance; we use your website for information now; A wonderful country ambiance, relaxed and caring; treatments have been superb; it is especially nice to stay overnight and enjoy one of the suites and live in our robes for the day; we enjoyed the facility in a January where the weather was ridiculously cold and so enjoyed staying put inside with the fire and of course being spoiled with treatments; keep up the good work!

Hi Christine,
We wanted to let you know how much we thoroughly enjoyed our spa weekend at Highfields. It was a truly relaxing stay and everything was extremely comfortable and professional. Even the weather co-operated!
That being said, I will definitely be back. We had a wonderful time and I will highly recommend Highfields to my friends and family.
Thank you again for a wonderful weekend.

Hello everyone. I hope all of you miss me as much as I miss being with you. The weekend at your spa was absolutely beautiful and so relaxing. All of the staff were wonderful to us. It was so quiet and peaceful I'll just have to come back soon. The surroundings and the way the grounds and buildings are set up is like being in a sea of tranquility. I have never been so relaxed. Now, don't forget about your lovely room downstairs with the fireplace and all the couches where I read for hours and relaxed. Add this with my massages and facial and I felt like a pricess when I left. I even ripped one of my sweaters by accident(I am clumsy) and the lady at the front desk even brought me needle and thread the next day. I thought it was so thoughtful. Anytime I would go back in a flash. By the way, I asked the super in our building if we could all get jacuzzi tubs in our units because they were so relaxing but of course I was told no. I had to have one lst twirl in the tub before I left. Hoping to see all of you soon.Brenda I appreciate all the help the staff gave us and I loved my stay. Thank you once again.
Norma:
Thanks so much for the facial. Your expertize and experience is exactly what I needed. You have a truely lovely place in HighFields and my stay here has been relaxing and has exceeded my expectations. Thanks again and it was a pleasure to meet you.
Love,

Dear Norma and Staff,
I just had to say, I have been all over the world in my life, and I have never had a better vacation than I did at High Fields !!
Upon arrival, I was greeted by Christine, most helpfull and personable.
The Inn is beautiful, the scenery, and the fact that there were no phones, no auto noise, nothing but the wind and the odd horse whisper !
I was at the Inn for the King for 2 days package, WOW is all I can say about that.
I met Alice first for treatment, what a great gal, personallity plus !
The next day I was treated and unrushed for about 6 hours of the best of the best anyone could ask for in getting away from it all therapies ! Norma and Lisa know thier stuff !
I would, and have already done so to many, encourage anyone to experience High Fields !
I will be back as often as required for my personal need for relaxation.
Again, THANK YOU ALL so much for everything, I had the time of my life!
Mike Cosburn
Dear Ms. Daniel:
We are sorry that you were away so that we could not thank you personally for our delightful night's stay in the garden suite. We found it totally enchanting. We relaxed, enjoyed a fire, listened to general music and soaked in the whirlpool bath.
Your staff were so kind. We shall recommend HighFields highly to friends and look forward to revisiting the Inn.
Sincertely,
George & Elizabeth Fleming
To the beautiful staff at HighFields.
With my thanks and appreciation for how wonderful I was treated on my two day vacation. My treatments with Norma and Lisa were peaceful and professional that will keep me coming back to HighFields. I loved every moment. My thanks to all of you.
Best Regards,
Adrienne Moccia
"I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful Inn you have. My friend Carloyne and I spent last weekend at HighFields and had such a relaxing time. Your very personable employee Jan greeted us when we arrived and was consistently making sure we were enjoying ourselves and being taken care of. The food was indescribably delicious and kept us anxiously awaiting the nexty meal, our compliments to the chef. The treatments we received were incredibly soothing nd were the reward we were looking for when we booked our weekend with HighFields. The package we choose was reasonably priced and your services exceeded our expectations. We look forward to visiting again and will most definitely recommend HighFields to our friends. Thank you again for a wonderful weekend."

Norma, hello:
Just a word of appreciation for the wonderful experiences I enjoyed while staying with you. The hospitality was wonderful, the environment so rejuvenating. Many thanks to you,the staff and your horse friends."
Jan: Thanks for the update. My 2 day retreat with Lynda was just what we were looking for. Lynda is now 1 week smoke free and holding! I am still feeling relaxed and refreshed from all that HighFields pampering. Feel free to use the following testimonial in whatever way you wish.
Over the past several years I have had the great pleasure of visiting HighFields Inn and Spa on many occasions. Whether for a romantic escape with my husband, a mother and daughter day of spa pampering, a stressbuster weekend with a close colleague or a therapeutic retreat with dear friends. HighFields has provided the ideal environment for all of our needs. Winter, spring, summer or fall, the idyllic setting offers instant relaxation and a myriad of indoor and outdoor activities. The highly qualified staff work together to first establish the purpose of your visit and then collaboratively provvide the services to meet or succeed your expectations. HighFields is truly a home away from home - a place I look forward to returning to again and again."
Naomi Emmett
"I visited HighFields, along with six friends, for a day of relaxation and revitalization. Staff were tireless in their assistance to help us with arrangements that became very complex and changed occasionally. All of my group of friends found the experience to be absolutely wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed our day at the Spa, and found all members of staff to be exceptionally accommodating. The services provided were superior to other experiences that my friends had in past at other facilities, and we look forward to making our visit an annual writ of Spring!!

"I just wanted to send you a thank you note for Wednesday. We all had a great time at High Fields. The atmosphere was peaceful and the hike was invigorating. It was wonderful to get away from the office and spend it in such a beautiful place. Please extend our thanks your staff as well. I hope our paths will cross again soon."
Phaedra van Buuren
"Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality. My husband and I were so very pleased by the wonderful atmosphere, charm and assistance by the staff. We will certainly share our great experience with friends."
Lori & Kevin Scott
"I want to tell you how much I appreciate the amazing service I received at HighFields. I thought it was going to be disaster when I acidentally turned up on te wrong day. Thank you, Shirley, for shifting things around and fitting me in. That was very thoughtful. Lisa, my massage with you was totally invigorating with the perfect amount of pressure. You are indescribably interesting. I could have asked questions for hours about all your travels. Rita, my facial was one of the best I've ever had ( and I've had a lot of facials). At most of the other places I've been to, they apply mask after mask, then leave the room for ten minutes each time. You end up spending 90 minutes lying on a table with no one in the room. But you tended me the whole time and it was wonderful. Also, Rita, during the reflexology I was in and out of consciousness because it was so relaxing. I couldn't believe how acurate you were in all the things you told me afterwards. The ambiance at HighFields is so warm, and the rooms where the services are performed are cozy and cocoon-like. They are perfect. You will definitely be seeing me again. I have already recommended HighFields to many people and will continue to do so."
Samantha Pearce
Dear Jan:
"We had a most wonderful day yesterday, not the least because our time was such an unqualified success. It started right off with you greeting and welcoming us in a wonderfully festive dress that right away put us in a mood to celebrate. Thank you so much."
Hendrik and Anita
Hi Norma:
"All of us from Equation Technologies who attended the Corporate Pow Wow. We would like to thank you and Cris for a wonderful and very insightful day in the tipi. We achieved our objective of having a day truly connecting but more importantly we discovered some things about each other that will assist us to move forward both personally and professionally in our quest for a greater understanding of what we are trying to achieve. Cris was wonderful and opened himself to share so much with us. We are truly grateful. We hope to be back for another day in "our" tipi.
