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 The property definitely has a rustic feel and some aspects of the room felt a bit older or outdated, however, it is clear they put a lot of effort into cleaning the space!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

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.

Disappointed

Upon arrival, I was informed that the restaurant was closed for renovations, so we had to drive into town for dinner. The satellite channels were not working, and when I called and left a voicemail for the number at the front desk, I didn’t receive a response. It was too cold to sit outside, so without TV, it made for a boring night. The coffee maker is kept in a common area, and in the morning (around 8:30), I found that there wasn’t enough coffee or cream, and I couldn’t find anyone to ask for assistance. As a result, we decided to leave early and shower at home, because to get coffee, we had to drive to Tim Hortons in Bancroft (the opposite direction from our house). We had stayed here in the past and previously enjoyed our time, as it’s a beautiful spot and very clean. However, this time it was quite disappointing not having TV and morning coffee, given the amount we paid.
