Many therapies integrate natural, seasonal and local ingredients, from specialized chocolate scrubs to eucalyptus body wraps. Not to be missed is the Inn's Moor Mud bath, where guests are immersed in a tub full of the viscous black mud to experience a treatment that dates back to Roman times.
After a day of spa treatments, take a walk down the country roads or hop into your car and go antiquing in the lovingly restored town of Grafton. A little further south you can go hiking in the Nawautin Nature Sanctuary, a restored wetland habitat on the shores of Lake Ontario. And art enthusiasts will delight in the tiny village of Colborne, where local artists are showcased at the 19th-century registry office.
For golf-loving visitors, the Timber Ridge golf course is a mere 30 minutes away in Brighton. Oenophiles can participate in wine tastings and picnic lunches at the nearby Oak Heights Estate Winery, located just outside of Warkworth.
Back at St. Anne's, nighttimes are quiet and peaceful (there's nary a TV unless you request it) and the night air drifting off the lake seems to have therapeutic qualities of its own. Visit www.steannes.com for more details.
