“What a pleasant place to stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

people found this review helpful

I just spent two days in Sidney on business and had the pleasure to stay at the Beacon Inn B&B. This property is very well kept. Quiet, warm, and comfortable is how I would describe it. The staff, I met Warren and Maria, were extremely helpful and charming people. I stayed in the Galiano (sp?) room, a large west-facing room with fireplace, flat screen TV, large bath/tub and separate shower. The entire property was immaculately clean. The pillow top queen size bed was heaven and I commented to Maria in the morning that it was the best nights sleep I've had in probably 15 years. The full breakfast was wonderful, two sittings 0800 and 0930, since my business colleague and I were the only ones there we got special attention, I'm sure. There were snacks to munch on, available 24/7, coffee and tea as well as a small common fridge if we wanted to keep some food. If I were to complain about anything would be the spotty Wi-Fi. Although I could get a signal in my room it wasn't great, but going down stairs and sitting in the beautiful front room of the property (by the fireplace) I had a great signal. Parking in the back of the property was fine, but might become crowded in the peak season. Within walking distance of some great restaurants and the main drag of Sidney.

Room Tip: Pick a west-facing room, I think they are a little larger. My colleague had an east-facing room whic...

Thank you for your lovely detailed review, we are delighted to hear that you and your colleague enjoyed your recent stay! Thank you also for bringing to our attention the spotty WiFi reception on the upper floors, prompting us to take immediate action to resolve the issue. I'm happy to report today that we were able to increase the signal with the addition of new booster, and the WiFi reception is now perfect from all locations on the property.

A brief note about our rooms - you were indeed in the Galiano Island room, a lovely Westerly (Premium) category room and your colleague had stayed in one of our Sky (Standard) category rooms that faces north-east... the Sky category rooms are a little smaller than the Westerly rooms and should not to be confused with our Easterly (Superior) category rooms.

Thank you once again for your kind comments and helpful feedback. We look forward to seeing you again on your next visit to Sidney.

We had the opportunity to stay at this Inn in their junior suite. Very nice, clean, spacious! And great view. Friendly, helpful staff, and walking distance to restaurants, shops, etc.

“Wonderful time at The Beacon Inn”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2011

We spent two days in Sidney, BC and had a wonderful experience at this unique B & B. Because of mobility issues we requested the main floor. We were in the Pender room and it was well maintained, very clean, large bathroom and an extremely large room. Complimentary sherry was served at 5:00 pm and gave you a chance to meet the other guests. Breakfast was a set time which was fine. Both mornings we had a lovely breakfast. No, it is not a five course meal but plenty big enough. We had coffee/tea/juice, a starter and then a hot dish. No rush , just great relaxation. We met the owner of the inn as well and he wanted to make sure everything was ok and the service was what we expected. Yes, you have to lock the door going in and out but that was ok. All the inn staff took great care of us and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. I wish we lived closer, we would certainly return again to enjoy the hospitality. There was nothing negative at all about Beacon Inn and would highly recomment it to anyone who enjoys going to any country inns, you will not regret it. I cannot understand some of the really negative comments about the inn, it makes me think we were not at the same place. A big thank you to everyone involved with the Beacon Inn.

Room Tip: There are no elevators so main floor may be best for some. Very quiet though so you do not need to w...

“Beautiful space and very friendly staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 September 2011

My husband and I stayed here in the Saltspring Suite on the last stretch of our honeymoon. It's a very romantic setup, with a 2-person tub, cozy rooms, beautiful views of the city and a royal Victorian aesthetic. The breakfasts were filling, the staff extremely nice and helpful, and the area very laid-back and perfect for a couple days' stay.
