    Floors could’ve used a bit of a vaccuum, a few hairs left in the bathroom but otherwise clean

    Beautiful area, beautiful room. Real fire places, patio door in your room and lake view.

    Small however worth noting. We enjoed our visit very much so it didn't impact the overall experience. The dining area didn't feel cohesiveto the food served Decor and ambiance didnt match the menu. Food was amazing however the portion of our appetizer was very small for the cost charged. When glancing at the lunch menu earlier in the day, , we decided to forgo lunch as every item was the size and cost of a dinner item. Menu could use more variety of smaller plated lunch items for active, on the go guests.

    The ambiance, amenities and peacefulness

    The bed was a nightmare!! We didn't sleep well for our entire stay. Why offer a double bed for a couples resort? The restaurant was overpriced regardless of the quality ($50 for a pork chop?) The breakfast not worth the price at all. Go into town for breakfast. Lunch was not offered due to off season (even though it was posted on board that it was). Amazing taco place in Haliburton made up for it. The "fitness facility" was a joke!

    The location was excellent! The dinners were extraordinary. Bravo to the dinner chef and service staff. The spa pool was lovely. A nice place to unwind and de-stress.

    The late winter conditions were treacherous with icy patches alternating with mud between our room and the main building. There were two flights of four stairs down into the room with no railing. The carpet was soaking wet near the fireplace and our logs were wet which meant our fire would not light. There was no way to communicate with the main desk from our room except by our own phone. and when I tried to call many times there was no answer. The impression We got was that there were not enough staff and that everyone was trying hard to keep up with the busy work. COVID has presented a challenge for all such businesses and I am more than happy to be part of the opening up of this very special place.

    Sir Sam’s Inn and Water Spa is so lovely. It is on Eagle Lake and the Halliburton Highlands and Forests are all around. I loved the warm , therapeutic spa pool and Beautiful common rooms inside with tasteful antiques.With fireplaces , rugs and big windows. the whole place was cosy yet allowing views of the surrounding snow , lake and forests. The room was very comfortable with a bath and shower with good safety bars. There was a fireplace and glass doors to the small patio with chairs. Again, the windows were right access’s the front and facing the lake.The bed was SO comfortable.. and we were given a kettle to make tea, as well as kindling matches and logs to light the fire. The food was excellent and all staff most helpful in the dining room. we never felt rushed. My friend and I had lovely Relaxation massages in the spa adjacent to the pool which were booked in advance. Staff were most accommodating when I called and asked if I could gift the last of my three nights to my son and his wife. and arranged to change sheets and towels for them.

    We arrived very late but the parking was packed so we had to park at the check in and walk up which was a pain. I’m aware this might be our own fault, but having to find parking at your accommodation at 10 at night was just frustrating after the long drive up. In the morning we were disappointed that the breakfast which wasn’t a part of our room was $25 a person which seemed ridiculous considering it was for things like oatmeal or a breakfast plate. If I had know that I would have bought the packaged breakfast deal for sure. There was a really loud sound that went on all night through the floor heater. It kept waking us up throughout the night. The last mention was that we had booked on booking.com which charged my card. I told them on arrival and they said that they needed me to pay for the room still which I was confused about but did anyways. When I pulled it up the next morning on my credit card they said that the payment the night before was a $600+ deposit which I would get back which is completely fine, I just wish they would have told me that instead of telling me that I didn’t pay for the room. Sorry for the list of dislikes but I think these were worth mentioning and may be helpful to fellow travellers. Besides these things, we did have a great weekend and did like the accommodation.

    The rooms were cute and our view was amazing.

    That my room wasn't ready at 4 like they said it would be. Very expensive place to have to wait until 5 pm to finally get in when 4 was already late enough. It was very upsetting and started my weekend off on the wrong foot.

    Very peaceful

    Everything is a bit dated and there is no AC in the rooms! We were there during the summer and our room was very uncomfortable to sleep in. I never would've gone there if I knew the rooms didn't have AC.

    Food was excellent. Everything is really clean and the view from the room was exceptional.

    Staying at the cabin rooms outside of the main building is inconvenient for using the spa facilities during winter. The all getting dressed up to later on remove and then again dress up process makes it makes it undesirable to use the spa services.

    The spa-pool, the bar area and the restaurant dinning experience.

    Wow! Sir Sam`s exceeded our expectations as we had a very relaxed, restful stay during our Honeymoon! The fall colours were in full display; the pool quiet and relaxing; massage amazing; beds and room very comfortable. The food was excellent but pricey for a full week`s stay so we enjoyed local eateries as well. Thanks for a Great Week!!
