“Good location but rooms disappointing”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 July 2010

This is a small B&B with four rooms in Tofino, so very convenient for shops, restaurants and excursions for whale and bear watching. But, the rooms are small and rather basic with very cramped bathrooms. The bedding was horrible - it appeared to be rather old and was not ironed so looked shabby. The rooms are not cleaned and towels are not changed unless you ask. There are no tea/coffee facilities in the rooms and no kitchen available - only a water cooler in the lounge that also dispenses hot water, plus a supply of tea bags and a few cups, but not enough for the number of potential guests, and no milk or sugar. The TV in the bedroom was small and old and the carpet was cheap and badly fitted with frayed edges showing. The rooms have partition walls and you can hear anyone who is talking in the lounge/dining area in the bedrooms upstairs. The B&B's website describes the view from one of the rooms as being of a lush green garden - in fact it is a small yard covered in gravel that is deeply uninspiring and the front of the house looks a bit neglected. But, Dorothy who lives on-site and prepares the continental breakfast (no cooked breakfast available) is really nice - very friendly and informative about the beaches, the weather etc. The breakfast, although limited, is good with a different home-baked treat each day, along with croissants, fresh fruit, juice, coffee, yoghourt and cereal and bread to toast as you want. Everyone sits at one table for breakfast which is at 8.30am, so you have to be prepared to talk to other people. Dorothy is really flexible about early breakfasts if you are going out on a trip, for example whale or bear watching, or you just need to leave early. The lounge is roomy and comfortable and is geared towards younger guests with a large TV and games consoles - and it has a good view of the sea. There are two computers with free internet access for guests that were very useful and a very small fridge that guests share.

“A wonderful stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2009

We stayed in the Windhover suite on the second floor, and loved every minute of it. We agree with everything written before, perhaps except for the breakfast. Despite the fact it was continental, we enjoyed it very much. There aren't any eggs with bacon/sausage (that you can have almost in every other place), but it's very rich, and every day they surve a different freshly baked pastry that we just loved (well, there were 2 different pastries in time of our 2-night stay). The breakfast is surved at 08:30 a.m. for all the guests together. The hosts are wonderful as well.

“nice&cozy”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2009
1
person found this review helpful

My husband and I have spent three nights in Eagle View Guest House this August, during our honeymoon, in the Windhover Suite at the top floor.
The room was very nice and cozy, with a good view on the see and a nice balcony.
Fine location, just ten minutes (walking distance) to the town centre and only five to the nearest restaurant.
Nice guests, ready to give suggestions and tips about the area. They are not always in the house, but we were given a cellular phone to call in case of need.
Great respect of pricacy and enviroment: they don't go inside the room but every two or three day to change towels.
Free wireless internet available, nice but not amazing breakfast (continetal only, with croissant or banana bread)
Just a shame they don't have a kitchen available for guest: Tofino has only three restaurant, all good but crowded (always make a reservation!) and expensive, so a kitchen could have been usefull (for a cheap lunch, we suggest the bakery/café on campbell street, named something like to "breakers").

I will definitely go back again in future.

“Great place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 September 2007
1
person found this review helpful

Stayed for 3 nights in the middle of August. As with all the B&B's we stayed in in western Canada, the place was very nice, good room, breakfast very nice and a friendly atmosphere.
It is in a good location, within easy walking distance of the main bits of Tofino, restaurants, etc.
Tofino itself, is beautiful. Nice to sit in a bar or restaurant, watch the sun go down over the sea, watching the fishing boats return with their days catch.
Worth doing a whale watch, despite the expense ... they performed brilliantly.
Given we had spent the previous 2 weeks trying to spot a bear, one was spotted int he garden of the B&B during our stay ... unfortunately we were asleep !

“Clean and comfortable”

The bed and breakfast was located on a pleasant, quiet street with views of the ocean. It was very clean and comfortable. The only disappointment was the continental breakfast, but I would definitely recommend the place to others!
