We loved this property, the location and the staff. The front house manager works very hard and runs an excellent ship. The barkeep and restaurant staff were friebadly and the food was fantastic. We are returning from Vancouver in May to stay again. It was a great base for so much beautiful walking. The local shops are lovely and the Old Bakery tea house is 1 moment down the road, tell Alan we sent you. He is a local gem.🇨🇦
