Having spent about 45 nights in Tofino, I always try to find new hidden gems. This is not one of them. This business will always get clients simply because Tofino reaches maximum capacity every summer and if you have a B and B, you will get business. It is obvious that the furnishings have seen much better days. The view... more

I can't believe the negative review on this site. We stayed at Clayoquot the end of June 2007 for 3 nights. Each morning we were served a delicious, filling and nutritious breakfast. Because of the unique set up, we were able to enjoy our breakfast in our room or at our picnic table outside the room overlooking the beautiful bay.... more

I wish I'd read some of the other reviews on this place before booking but I only saw the positive ones. Although the view from our room was as good as anticipated, the rest was a let down. The place has a dingy, running-down feel to it. 'Local coastal character' or indifferent maintenance? My money is on the latter. We... more

There seem to be a mix of reviews around, but from my experience: DO NOT STAY HERE! The rooms were dirty, the breakfast inedible and the owner unpleasant. Not only that, but looking closely at the guest comment book we noticed that many of the pages had been removed, leaving a suspicious lack of negative comments... To be fair, the... more

We recently stayed at the Clayoquot Retreat for 3 nights, and would highly recommend this rustic B & B to anyone who is interested in having a relaxing time in a room with the most awesome views. The breakfast served by the owner of this establishment was just fabulous - none of the purchased bakery items that we have been... more

We stay at the Clayoquot Retreat every time we go to Tofino. It is quiet and peaceful. The food is amazing!!! If I could take that woman home with me to cook I would. It is a friendly environment that is clean and comfortable. The views from the rooms is wonderful. I would recommend this place to anyone who asked... more

We stayed 6 nights on our honeymoon at Clayoquot Retreat, it was absolutely fabulous. The breakfasts every day were wonderful and delicious, the advice about tours to go on and restaurants was right on the money. The hospitality was second to none. We will definately recommend Clayoquot Retreat to everyone we know. We thank Lynn and Bob for helping us... more

We have stayed at Clayoquot Retreat many times over the past five years. We tried other B&B's, but were not happy with the atmosphere or the food. (muffins from a bakery). We find the view exceptional and the breakfasts far superior to the others. Very important to us was the privacy. We had our own table in our room and... more

We fully agree with all other reviewers - this place is a dump! Too bad we didn't know about Trip Advisor until after the fact. We also did a double-take as we drove into the steep rubbish-laden driveway, but persevered. We knew the owner was away, but were told her daughter would "look after us". The daughter was not home... more
