Shopping close by in Bancroft, picked up a few groceries at Foodland for later, had a good lunch at La Fiesta Mexican restaurant, bought a few items at Old Tin Roof store, & Stedman's, pretty convenient I thought, no tourists around it seemed being October and all. Restaurant at Somerset was good, food good, had homemade lasagna, Bancroft Brewery beer, salad and desert was this great apple crumble in a sizzling iron skillet topped with ice cream and caramel, HUGE serving, that was an awesome desert ! Breakfast was buffet with a variety of items, quiche squares and tarts, were great.

Clean room and great staff service! The property definitely has a rustic feel and some aspects of the room felt a bit older or outdated, however, it is clear they put a lot of effort into cleaning the space! The only downside of the room was the beds weren't the comfiest. It was a great stay overall for the few nights I was there!

Disliked: Cleanliness
Nothing. The room and bed were dirt, we left after 2 hours, while on phone with Expedia. Picture of room on Expedia was completely different from our room. It was kind of row cabins with some small 3,4 insets crawling on wall. The picture on site shows a building. We, 2 adults one 6 years old kid,drove 4 and half hours to go there and had to leave after 2 hours and drive back home driving another 3 and half hours since it was long weekend and no other hotels were available. Very disappointed, very bad experience.

It is a beautiful resort, small, quiet and clean. The staff were wonderful - very friendly and helpful. The only suggestion I have to improve is that the beds probably need to be replaced.

A cottage by the lake - Kayaks and Canoes are available for free. They have a restaurant, but didn't have the chance to experience. The lake has clear water. Everyone was enjoying their time in water in a hot summer day!
