Our room was beautifully appointed & the bed was comfortable.
Our hosts were friendly & helpful.
Great location after our snowshoe day at Silent Lake.
I would suggest there be another wastebasket & another mirror, besides the ones in the bathroom.
Somerset Lakeside Resort is in a stunning location.
I look forward to visiting again.

So much potential with this place - The room & scenery were lovely! Unfortunately the info on line about the restaurant was misleading. When my heading for breakfast with my toddler son we were told the restaurant opening is dependant on occupancy - how would we know about that? Thankfully we had some left over take out that we grabbed on our way in, the night before.
Also had a water pipe issue - 2hrs after not having running water, an open 2 litre jug of water was dropped off to our room.

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The property definitely has a rustic feel and some aspects of the room felt a bit older or outdated, however, it is clear they put a lot of effort into cleaning the space!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!

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.

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!

This is a wonderful, comforting property that is set on a beautiful lake. Every time I stay here, I meet international travelers. Everyone is friendly and there is always a fire going down by the dock, and you can relax in the adirondack chairs and enjoy a drink. A great place to stargaze at night.

The fated long distance motel encounter.
This past month there was a power outage that lasted several days and we just needed a night of heat, electricity and Internet.
We accidentally clicked on this place when I thought we were making a reservation somewhere else and boy was that the best mistake I ever made. We had a late check-in, but everything went smoothly. The room was clean, warm and beautiful. It was nice to stay a place as fancy on the off-season.

Very friendly staff. Quaint cottage rooms where its quiet. and nice modern rooms in the main hotel; whatever you prefer. The restaurant had homemade meals and they are fantastic. There is a large firepit lit in the evenings by the dock with plenty of comfortable seating in Adirondack chairs. The cottage room bathroom had big cobwebs in the ceiling corners and the light, and a couple spiders. The sink was all cracked, and a chip in tub. Otherwise, it was very clean anc comfortable. Have stayed here twice and will be back again. Definitely recommend!
