Somerset Lakeside Resort

What guests think

Somerset Lakeside Resort earns praise for its beautiful lakeside setting, peaceful atmosphere, friendly hands-on staff, and generally clean, comfortable rooms with rustic charm and some modern updates, plus waterfront amenities like a dock, swimming, and kayaks.

The on-site restaurant and breakfast receive positive feedback when open, though hours can depend on occupancy and have caught some guests by surprise. Guests also reported occasional facility and service hiccups, including BBQs or dock maintenance, an unlit campfire, and rare curt interactions, while a few rooms feel dated and some mattresses could be more comfortable. Expect a relaxed lakeside retreat with a rustic-modern mix in a scenic setting.

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!

On a Saturday night when promised a camp fire ourselves and other guests were disappointed when staff failed to show up to start a fire. BBQ’s out of gas, falling apart, dirty and no working lighter. Staff had to try three bbq’s before finding a bbq that worked. Dock area needs fixing. Where you enter the lake a nail is sticking up that I stood on. I wasn’t injured but shouldn’t have to worry about nails. When we asked for a take out cup, one of the workers snapped at us “no” and walked away. I was told she is a manager?? Wow that’s not good.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.
