“You needn't look anywhere else -- stay here”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 August 2010

person found this review helpful

This was my first experience with a B&B. If they're all this good, it won't be my last. I'm from Seattle and made a week-long trip up Vancouver Island in late July. Chemainus was my second stop. Admittedly, I was a little nervous trying something new like this -- but that ended the moment I walked up to the porch and Lynne was out with one of her two cats. She and John were totally welcoming, my room was spotless and fresh, and breakfast, which I shared with them and two other couples, was fabulous. I purchased the theater package with dinner, and at $165.50 (lodging, breakfast, dinner and theater ticket), it was easily the best value of my trip. I'm hoping to return another weekend prior to the holidays if my work schedule allows me to do so.

“Lovely, comfortable B & B”

We stayed here July 30th/09. It was sweltering outside, but cool and comfortable in our rooms. The best French Toast I have ever eaten. The hosts Lynne and John were a delight. I would recommend staying here on your next visit to Chemainus.

“Delightful B & B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 August 2008

person found this review helpful

This is an attractive, clean and welcoming home where the decor is pretty and the hosts are genial. Breakfast is eaten with other guests and the hosts, so giving the opportunity to enjoy good conversation over breakfast . We enjoyed beautifully cooked French toast with fruit. There was plenty to eat and drink.
We were given a lovely two room suite with good views.
The location is good and ideas were offered for dining which proved excellent (we tried the Twisted Sister cafe and were so impressed we returned the next day for lunch). The hosts are helpful and accommodatiing.
I have no hesitation in reommending this B & B.

  • Liked — Excellent clean decor and friendly hosts.
  • Disliked — TV not working but when we reported this the hosts were apologetic.
