Want to plan a getaway in the lap of nature that affords you all the luxuries of the Loughborough Inn without a structured meal plan? We've got you covered. While our delicious meals make the dining room the most popular place at the resort 3 times a day, we understand that sometimes convenience can take other forms. Food allergies, extreme dietary restrictions, food preferences, and the rare opportunity to lounge at leisure while on vacation might make our newest housekeeping cabin option your best bet. Anyone who’s sat down at our tables will tell you the meal times and dining [...]

Finding the perfect gift ideas for Father’s Day can often feel like an uphill battle. After all, we’re talking about fathers here! These are the guys who just go out and buy what they want before a special occasion rolls around, or, while they are never too shy to tell you to turn down your music or wear a longer skirt, they suddenly become too humble to ask for anything at all...except maybe for some peace and quiet (and there’s a lot of merit in this request!). We get it, and as a group of fathers and father lovers, we [...]

Taking time out from the noise of everyday life helps us focus on what really matters, and most importantly what doesn't.

This combo may be good for a day of entertainment, but it can wear thin – especially if you are at the cottage for a [...]

The Loughborough Inn is opening its doors on May 11th for spring cottage rentals and we couldn't be more excited. Spring is truly one of the most remarkable seasons to enjoy the outdoors – especially in Canada. Don’t get us wrong: Winter, summer and autumn are great times to be outside too and they definitely have their own beauties and virtues, but there is absolutely nothing as invigorating as the colour and renewal of spring after a few monochromatic months. Spring is a veritable buffet for the senses, with new things to see, touch, hear, smell and yes, even taste. [...]
