I used to go to Lakeside as a child to my grandparent's cottage. Frankly at that time, we never noticed the Hotel Lakeside which has been here since 1875. But times change, the cottage is no longer in the family. But Lakeside is still a lovely place and this time we stayed at the Hotel. It was just past the season and quite empty. The very friendly receptionist, Abigail, took the time to show us a number of rooms and we settled on front view overlooking the lake. Room was pleasant and quiet. Ambiance of the front porch was perfect. The main reason I can't give it '5' is, like several other reviewers, the room in particular could have been considerably cleaner in terms of spider webs etc.

A beautiful area on the lake. Did not stay here and did not know it existed until one of the local shop owners bragged about Lakeside. A beautiful hotel and very reasonably priced meals. Possible place to stay in future.
