We had a LOVELY stay at this hotel. This is a 100 year old building with only 11 bedrooms. Some of the bedrooms are small, but thats the way the place was built 100 years ago. The walls are thin and the floors creak. That's the way with old buildings. We had a small corner room, but for a couple without huge luggage it was perfectly fine - and lying on the bed with the afternoon sun streaming in on two sides was priceless. Our patio was large, the clawfoot tub fun. Breakfast was GREAT, the staff friendly and very helpful. The restaurant in the wine bar we found very reasonable for the excellent quality, with live music and again friendly staff. There are cheaper places to stay in the area, but few with so much charm. We toured the vineyards, read our books, took long lie-ins and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thank You, Naramata Inn!

Although we did not stay at this hotel we stayed nearby, and there are not alot of dining choices in Naramata, so we opted for this place. The greeting at the door, although amiable, was delivered over the bar, by an over ethusiastic server , who was in the process of making drinks, answering the phone, and directing other staff. Obviously way too many tasks for one person to deliver a proper warm and professional greeting to incoming patrons. Seated in the lovely courtyard, nestled among the cedars, and a clear view of the heritage Mission style hotel, was enchanting.
When a server-type person finally approched our table, it was only with water, and we were informed that our server would be with us shortly. That took about 5 minutes to happen. It appeared that our server was attending to tables in both the upper patio area, the lower patio area and the interior area of the restaurant, Again spread across a large geographical area, with way too many tables to attend to properly. When our server arrived we were quickly informed of the daily specials, in rapid fire speech, kinda mumbly and all slurred together, with lots of culinary terminology thown in. Niether I nor my partner caught much of what our server said, and we didn't bother to ask for any clarification, as we were not given the opportunity to do so. We opted for some of the house baked foccaccia bread with a few expensive side dishes, and an entree each. The food was very tasty, lots of interesting flavours, but rather blandly presented. Not much plate appeal, garnish or embellishment to again pricy entrees. Over-all, thankfully the food was good, but the quality of service was lacking. Too rushed and distracted by having too much on her plate. Not the sever's fault of course, but certainly something management should be aware of.

After having booked this hotel for 2 nights from a tourist info centre a couple hours drive away, we attempted to check in after a long hot day of wine tasting. Unfortunately through a glitch in the system, our room had been double booked. We were more than disappointed and a bit desperate, as everything else seemed booked, but the manager had already phoned around the area and found us (and paid for !!) a place to stay for the night. The next night we were able to stay at the Naramata Inn and enjoyed our stay very much. Janet couldn't have been more helpful or patient with us two irritable travelers. Dinner at the Cobblestone was fantastic, with live jazz and a perfect courtyard setting.

This could be a great little hotel: it's in a good location and a beautiful building. However, it suffers what a lot of small Canadian hotels suffer from, lack of thought and average service. The rooms are ok but could do with a refresh. Overall if you are just looking for somewhere to put your head down for the night, then you get better value at a cheaper motel. The restaurant in the hotel is ok - overpriced for what it offers.
