“A homely B&B”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2011 via mobile

This place has everything you want but the flipside to that is that is well out of town. If you want to be close to downtown this is not the place to stay. You will need a car to stay here.

That said the place is in a quiet neighbourhood and is a lovely old house with a beautiful garden.

Our room was good sized comfortable and clean. The bathroom was also big and clean.

The host Mina was very nice and helpful and she makes an excellent breakfast. We also had a fridge to put some drinks in and there is a table etc out the back to chill out on.

The only thing I found strange was there was some sort of rubbish restriction as to what we could put in the bin which we found out after we had put stuff in it. Apparently you are supposed to get rid of some rubbish yourself? (and it was plain rubbish)

And then we were also requested to squeege and dry the shower cubicle each time we used it via a note that Mina had left out for us. While I understand where she is coming from guests should not be asked to do such things. After all we are guests and we are there to relax and enjoy ourselves.

“Fantastic B&B with wonderful hostess.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2011

This is the best B&B we have ever stayed at. Mina is a super chef and a source of lot of info she is willing to provide. I loved discussing both her garden and her menu with her. Her home is in a nice residential neighborhood that is very quiet but not far from some wonderful restaurants and wineries. Mina has only two guest room but they are very nice. Mina accepted American dollars without any exchange cost and her rates are much to low.

“Now that's what I call a B&B !!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 August 2011

It's all true! All the great reviews for this B&B is spot on. Mina, the hostess is one sweet, friendly and dynamic lady. She took time to engage her guests and made great recommendations for places to eat & sight see. She even took the trouble to help print out some info for a hike we were planning to do. How she manages to find time to upkeep that magnificent garden of hers and tend to guests is beyond me.
And OHHH her homemade Breakfast, boy was it YUMMIEE!! It's the first time we were presented with a choice of menu for Breakfast at a B&B. Wished we were staying longer just so we could try her entire breakfast menu! We've been raving about this place to our friends since.
An English Rose Garden truly embodies what B&Bs should be about. Thank you Mina for your hospitality, we had the most wonderful time! Will definitely be back if we are ever in Kelowna again.

“Too Good to be True (but it is)”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 July 2011

Overall, the best B&B experience we have had. We stayed in the Wicker Room which was great. The grounds are beautiful, the environment is quiet, the breakfasts are to die for (multiple courses, each one outstanding). It's clear that Myna (the owner) knows what she is doing, and loves doing it. Her hospitality is fantastic. As a bonus, her rates are among the most reasonable in Kelowna. We honestly can't think of anything to nitpick about. We will make it a point to return to Kelowna just to stay with Myna again.

“It was the perfect place to stay for what we wanted. Loved it.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 July 2011

Mina's meals were incredible. We were full each morning and loved all the choices for breakfast. Beds were comfortable and the outdoor sitting was perfect for evenings.
