My second time staying here. Everything about this place is amazing. Comfortable rooms, great restaurant, breathtaking views, wonderful grounds.
I will be back again for sure
the view was absolutely gorgeous and we loved that you can walk straight to the lake from your room. the dinner room service was absolutely delicious the pesto gnocchi has to be one of my favourite meals ever, its a must try!! loved the robes too.
only cons are the walls could be a bit thin between rooms, and the wind would make whistling noises on very windy days. the bed is also advertised as king but it is slightly smaller than a normal king.
other than that I would recommend and I would stay again.
Edgewater is in the most perfect location set amongst beautifully manicured gardens that run down to the lake's edge. An easy stroll into town serviced by one of the many walking trails. Our room was extremely comfortable with a lovely balcony overlooking the lake, we cannot wait to return.
The property was clean and the staff was kind. We had booked an premium lakeview room to watch the water in warmth and comfort, but realized that the restaurant looked directly into our room and thus we had to keep the blinds closed for most of our visit. Breakfast was standard continental fare. Laundry was convenient. Thank you!
Location was lovely, room overlooking the lake. Staff so friendly and helpful, great team. Good food in the restaurant. Short walk into the town centre.
The heaters in the rooms were fantastic and the bathroom dryer was wonderful to dry hair and clothing. The washer/dryer combo with detergent included for a load was soooo spectacular! Our view of the sunrise over the lake was a highlight to our trip. The dining staff (Madeline and Colton) were exceptionally accommodating with our dietary needs and gave us recommendations for a winery! The chef did a great job to make our meals work for us. The housekeepers (Yahol and Chihari) even gave us excellent service!
