The Westminster Riding Club has permanently closed its tennis courts because of lack of funds for…read morerenovation, so no more inexpensive tennis lessons or even private playing.

This was my family's first year at the riding club and it has been a complete disappointment. It is…read morethe most unwelcoming atmosphere I have ever experienced. I have witnessed kids being mean to my children as well as other children, while the parents are no where in site. The rules only seem to apply to the new members, as the old members are off socializing with the manager, so they don't have to follow any rules. Adults are not at all inviting as well, so no wonder the kids act the way they do. We received an email from management complaining about parenting others children, but when the parents aren't around and the lifeguards and management don't care what are we to do? Let these kids bully our children?

This facility is a little bit off the beaten path, just southwest of Hampstead, MD. on route 482…read more However, for the money it provides just about everything a family or individual could want in a gym type environment. Indoors is a weight room, cardio studio, yoga and group exercise areas along with steam room & dry sauna, a spin room plus meeting areas. There are locker rooms for changing complete with showers, restrooms, etc. Outside you have soccer fields plus athletic fields plus two swimming pools for seasonal recreation. The group fitness instructors are friendly, helpful & knowledgeable and there are many different classes to choose from. It's an older building, so it lacks some of the bells & whistles that more trendy gyms have, but delivers a lot of options for money well spent.

I recently attended a yoga retreat at Pearlstone Center. The meeting room where we practiced was…read morenice, with a window wall overlooking a beautiful view. However, the carpet was filthy, and clearly had not been vacuumed, even though the staff must have known we would spend all our time in that room on the floor. Several of us had immediate allergic reactions to whatever was in the carpet, and I spent the rest of the weekend on benedryl. We stayed in the Fidler's Grove cabins, and I was extremely disappointed with our accommodations. Our "kitchenette with microwave and mini fridge" consisted of a tiny fridge sitting on the floor in the hallway. It was so small we couldn't even fit our water bottles in it. That was it. No microwave, no kitchenette. The room I slept in had no heat, on a night when the temperature dropped into the 20s. We had a difficult time figuring out how to operate the heater because the instructions posted on the wall were not for that particular heating unit. Slats of the mini-blinds were twisted and broken. The sitting area was functional, but depressing. I would call the cabin overall very spartan and barracks-like. We requested a vegetarian menu, which we received. We were also welcome to choose from the buffet. With a couple of notable exceptions, the food ranged from mediocre to inedible, the main problem being that none of the cooked food was actually hot. The hummus that was provided to us as a snack was excellent, as was the whitefish we had with our dinner on Saturday night, but that did not make up for the food that was served to us the rest of the weekend. I won't go back.

I was impressed with the Center from beginning to end…read more Of note: the "budget" sleeping quarters reminded me of a mountain-set chalet, with all wood interior, its own kitchen with stove and refrigerator, a reasonably large bathroom, a living room/lounge area, and more than enough clean towels. Really more than I expected. There is also an organic farm attached to the retreat center with vegetable rows, chickens, ducks, and goats. They served some produce from the farm at a couple of the meals. And the meals were also impressive, with mostly vegetarian options and the occasional high quality meat. And there were always refreshments available for those moments when you need a snack. The conference facilities themselves were also beautiful, from the large open hall on the first floor to the smaller meeting rooms to the ample rocking chairs on the porch around the main building. Not to mention that the center is surrounded by forests, streams, and a pond. Yep, it was epic.
