Somerset - A Private Retreat

This is by far the highest quality B&B we’ve had the pleasure of visiting. Loved having morning coffee on the large deck while overlooking the lake. Darren is an extremely pleasant, informed and thoughtful host. His home-cooked breakfast is large, delicious and different every day. It’s conveniently located within an easy walk of NOTL shops and restaurants, but the home and vista is so calming and well appointed that you don’t want to leave. (It’s also an easy scenic drive to Niagara Falls. ) All three suites are huge and beautiful. It’s the perfect place to stay with two other couples and you can have the whole wonderful place to yourselves.

What a wonderful stay at Somerset. We felt at home as soon as we arrived. Jodie is such an incredible manager/ host. Her breakfasts are made with love and you can definitely tell she has a lot of experience with customer service. We stayed in the West wing suite. It’s a huge room with a very nice bathroom. Everything you need is there, from Nespresso machine to Netflix :). The room can be refreshed whenever you want. The location is good and if you enjoy golfing., you are at walking distance from the oldest golf club in North America ( NOTL) If you are looking for a luxurious, welcoming and comfortable stay, Somerset is the place Thank you Jodie for your hospitality and your warm welcome !

My partner's birthday getaway could not have been better located than at Somerset! I'm a casual photographer, and this place is a gem for picturesque shots, so I had LOTS of fun doing what I do too. Here's our breakdown The room: Our suite was in the West Wing (yes, I watched the series too), with 4 spaces including: the massive bedroom, living area with bar and foyer, the balcony and very spacious bathroom. Everything was sparkling clean, luxurious, comfortable and extremely well appointed. There was original artwork, an additional Juliette balcony, his/her closets and the list goes on and on! Very comfortable linens, high-end amenities and stunning views of gardens and the lake to boot. Our host: Darren is a thoughtful and genuine human being. He went the extra mile to arrange for special treats of chocolate truffles, fruit, wine and beer in our room upon arrival. The tour that we were offered of the property was full of history, ideas while we are here, amenities that were not obvious and the warmth and friendliness that we might feel when we are welcomed at home. Darren was also helpful with our luggage, freshening our room, retrieving items that I had left outside lol and just sharing his life and experiences with the gorgeous area that is NOTL. He is a welcome fixture for us at Somerset. The common area: I'm not sure how they made such massive spaces so cozy and homy, but here we are. The entryway is massive and has a curved stairway leading to the suites. The living area is located with views and passage onto the lake. There are cards, an open bar and seating you may never want to get up from. The dining area was equipped with fruit to snack upon and a massive table with again, views and passage onto the lake. The property: This is the only b&b that backs onto the lake. The back deck is brimming with flowers and has 2 patio table set ups, one in which we had breakfast upon, but it's the view that is the star. There is a massive grassy hill leading to Adirondack chairs to watch the ships go by, or the setting sun light up the fort across the way. The beach has rocks to skip back into the lake and borders a public park. If able, you can skirt over the rocks and enjoy that too.

The Somerset B&B is stunning. The attention to detail and well appointed rooms had me obsessed. We'll be back. Darren was excellent and made our stay even better.

Everything about our stay was ideal: beautiful accommodations with stunning decor, comfortable beds, delicious breakfast, and excellent care by Darren. Location was ideal and just a few blocks from restaurants and shops. The area is very picturesque with lovely gardens everywhere. We definitely will return!

The view over the Lake was amazing! The Grand suite was sumptuous! Manager & Chef Jodi was a delight! We highly recommend this deluxe B&B!
