We don't usually reply to questionnaires but this stay was outstanding. It was a great way to finish our visit to Canada. Aileen was a great hostess. The setting was outstanding and the facilities great. A highly recommended venue in our opinion.

Fantastic location, right on the lake and so quiet. After visiting Toronto and Montreal we needed some down time and this place was just what we wanted. Sitting on the jetty at night looking at the Milky Way and drinking around the fire pit with my family are things that will stay with me for a long time. The cabin is about 25 mins outside of the little town of Bancroft which was lovely, great brewery/beers, and has a big Foodland store to get your BBQ stuff to use back at the property. There was a canoe and 2 paddle boards to take out on the lake and although the water was quite cold it was clean and safe to swim in. The cabin was very functional and quite small but it was perfect for our needs and to be honest we didn't spend much time inside the property, we were outside from sun up and well into the night enjoying the great outdoors. There is no AC, there are ceiling fans in some of the rooms, but it didn't feel too hot inside the cabin probably because of its proximity to the lake and the woods around it.
Overlooking Elephant Lake, this cottage resort in Harcourt, Ontario offers a private beach area 3 minutes’ walk away. A sauna is located on site and all cottages feature a fully equipped kitchen.

The cottage was cozy and quiet with beautiful views of the lake and countryside. We were in the area for the bancroft gemboree and to go rockhounding. There are many collecting sites nearby as well as geo- caching and other outdoor activities. The owners are attentive to guests needs and are very friendly.

The local brew pub was great - excellent food and fantastic beers, very good service. Bancroft is known as a mineral capital with a small but excellent mineral museum. There is also an interesting historical museum and an active cultural community. Many artists live in the area and offer wonderful paintings and other creations at local stores. There are some lovely cafes offering great baked goods and tasty light lunches. There are nature trails, great camping and fishing, and off trail vehicles to rent as well as canoes, other boats and catamarans.
There are a number of parks for children including a skateboard park. The August long weekend [ first weekend of the month] offers Bancroft's Rockhound Gemboree, a world reknowed gem and mineral show with great specimens for sale. There are also some excellent tourist shops offering gifts and items for the whole family at reasonable prices. Don't forget to drive down the side streets to find interesting shops and restaurants. Alice's Pantry offers bulk food products, and specialty, ethic and local options and home cooked meals. We took advantage of the daily evening special to save on restaurant costs.

Can't recommend this place highly enough!
Can't recommend this place highly enough! Loved the location - close enough to Algonquin National Park and easily within walking distance (down a lovely riverside path) to the town of Bancroft. (you'd need a car to get to a decent supermarket though). Lots of food and drink options in the town. The communication with the owners was excellent. The apartment was lovely - homely, well-equipped, excellent A/C, immaculately clean. Loved having a washing machine and dryer! We will be back!!!

It is a very nice place to do some sports activities and enjoy the nature at the same time. Bancroft is also a good starting point to go to the Algonquin Provincial Park. Although there are some good Restaurants in town, can highly recommend the Granite. Visiting Bancroft by car, I think, will be the best opportunity.

History and geology of the area is interesting. Bancroft is a hub for the region; it has everything you need. It even has an amazing army surplus store. Excellent book store, rock hunting, museum (well worth spending some time), music in the park on Wednesdays and a great cafe run by volunteers, where money supports local youth and programs. And you should visit the Eagle's nest for a spectacular view. A lovely town to explore and spend some time.

Bancroft is a quant town, quiet and very friendly.
Bancroft is a quant town, quiet and very friendly. They have the basics of what you need - banks, groceries, restaurants/take-out, and great little shops up and down main street. Lots of opportunities to view wildlife going through scenic roads, lots of water access opportunities for fishing, swimming, boating, etc. Check out Eagle's Nest for amazing views of town and the surrounding area (York River, etc.). Millennium Park is also a great place to walk or have a picnic.
The booking.com said that this booking shall offer complementary breakfast but the property operates kitchen only for Thursday to Sundays. Had I known this, I would have stayed in any of the other property available in Bancroft city. I was happy to pay extra for a couple of scrambled eggs and bread slices but the owners said it is not possible.
Location is very good.
The Swords Inn is right on the inside of downtown Bancroft, making it very close to shop and eat. The town is a wonderful "window shop" town going up and down the main street. The Inn has free breakfast, a nice pool, and great walking access to the York River on the outside of Millennial Park. Good value for your stay.
We really enjoyed the time in this beautiful place - the apartment itself, but also Bancroft and it's surroundings.
The perfect equipment and amenities added to that.
Plenty of private parking space... nice view on the parc from the patio ... even a BBQ grill waits there (though haven't used it)
Clean room, great lakeside location not too far from Bancroft. This is our go-to accommodation for our annual trip to the Rockhound Gemboree as it is one of the nicest places we have found in this vicinity. Good restaurant located in the main building with lake views.
The hotel was clean and the beds were comfortable.The staff were friendly and know the area very well.Did visit the eagles nest and the view was quite beautiful.There is also some fun driving on the side roads.
