Elm Hurst, Victorian restaurant and spa in Ingersoll, Canada.
Elm Hurst occupies a Gothic Revival mansion featuring vaulted ceilings, detailed woodwork, and tall windows that overlook the surrounding landscape of Oxford County. The building functions as a restaurant, spa, and guest lodging all in one estate.
The mansion was built in 1872 and belonged to the Harris family, who founded the first cheese factory in the Ingersoll District. The family also operated apple orchards on the land, which were significant to the area's economy at that time.
The restaurant sources from nearby farms, featuring regional produce and artisanal products on seasonal menus that reflect how people in this part of Ontario eat and celebrate food traditions.
The property is located on Harris Street and easy to find from the town center. It is best to book in advance if you plan to dine or stay, as availability can be limited during peak times.
The former apple storage shed has been transformed into an elegant dining room while keeping its original architectural details. This conversion shows how the estate adapted its working spaces to serve dining guests today.
