Clair's is an amazing home with tons of character and the owners are very friendly and accommodating. The breakfasts here are nothing short of incredible. Clair was able to give us some "insiders secrets" for our outings into Vancouver and the surrounding areas. If you're a "foodie" you will most definitely enjoy the expertly prepared, multi-course breakfasts. We will be sure come back to stay here some time in the future.

I have stayed here twice when in Vancouver and I can honestly say that this is the best bed and breakfast that I have ever stayed at. This is a five room house that is very clean and has so many things to make you comfortable. They even have a full body massage chair downstairs. The host William, is a joy to interact with and makes dim sum for you each morning. Anytime I stay in Richmond this will be where I stay.

It was decorated beautifully and we slept like a baby. Breakfast the next morning was fantastic. Fruit and yogurt parfaits, raspberry filled muffin and French toast with sausage. All incredible.

Brian (host) was delightful to talk to. I recommend the Royal Suite, which includes the bathroom with a whirlpool tub big enough for two. If you stay here, you even get free admission to the Steveston Museum and the Gulf of Georgia Cannery Museum - both are well worth the visit.

Best B&B stay ever! This is very close to the ferry so one does not need to bring a car saving us a…read moreton of money. The self contained unit provides the guests with utmost privacy and has a full kitchen, so if you stay long you can cook some of your meals here. The hosts were considerate to leave basic Kitchen supplies like tea/coffee, salt/sugar, cooking oil etc. They were thoughtful to have a basket in the bathroom full of basic toiletries one often forgets. I took a toothbrush from it! The best part is the breakfast, which is freshly made each morning. We got bowls of fresh fruits with delicious homemade granola along with a baked breakfast item: Scones/muffins/waffles each day. We could not decide on a favourite and felt so spoilt! They had a great selection of books and boardgames in the seating room. Wifi is a bit erratic but when you are on the island the point is to relax and get time off the grid! It is walking distance from eateries like babes in the woods, Galiano Island's independent book shop and the active pass where you can see harbour seals and otters passing. The couple running it are lovely and super helpful. We cannot wait to return.

We were lucky enough to spend 2 nights with David and Marilyn in July. We liked the unit with its…read moreocean view, and the fact that it had not only a king bed in the main area, but also a separate bedroom with 2 twins. We were not sure if our daughter would be with us so the option to have extra sleeping space was important. David could not have been a more gracious host. From his greeting when we arrived to the home-cooked breakfasts, which were not only delicious but generous in portion size. We liked how he left the menu choices with us the night before so that we knew what to expect in the morning. I am curious as to how he got the omelet I had crispy on the outside - it was so good! In the unit there were snacks and sodas. There was also tourist information about the general area. We really enjoyed our time there but there are a couple of items that bear mention as less than ideal. First, we found the king bed to be a little soft for our liking. The TV is old and could stand to be replaced. I had the volumn all the way up and could barely hear it. Also it should be noted that there are many stairs to get to the unit. While it is mentioned on their website, it isn't mentioned on hotels.com which is who we booked through. We really enjoyed our time here and would return. Our rating is more like a 4.5 but that is not an option!

Loved visiting for an hour at breakfast with the cat and engaging in wherever the conversation led. Ample room in the suite, and was delighted to finally get some well deserved rest after moving out of our Abbotsford condo the very same day. Amenities are excellent, and for me, I was very happy with the selection of vintage VHS tapes, and we watched two of them! There are some newer DVD's and I'm not sure about the previous review, as there is plenty of volume! Loved the assorted goodies and sweets that were available, and breakfast was superb, especially the quiche! We would happily return again. A jewel as far as B&B's go, and quite a bargain for everything you receive.

I stayed at The Grove in early October of 2024 with 4 friends from high school. We were there for 3…read morenights (Fri - Sun) in total. The Grove is a great spot for an island getaway. My friends and I got together really just to visit and catch up, with no real plans for activities in mind. The property gave us plenty of room to spread out in comfort, and a spacious kitchen and dining area to come together for meals. We made use of the large deck area as well, with the beautiful fire table and seating area. There is a hot tub on the deck as well, but it was not available during our stay. The property was clean and well-equipped, with enough kitchen equipment and basic ingredients for us to prepare anything we needed. We were impressed by how roomy it was, and the house is furnished with rustic pieces that felt very relaxed and cozy. The property had no TVs when we stayed there, but this was not a problem for us as we came there to visit. There is internet service on the property, which was sufficient to supplement the sometimes spotty cellular reception. Mayne Island has numerous places to discover, including a great outdoor pub, some wonderful casual dining spots, and some amazing walking areas. We ventured out for walks down to nearby beaches and saw quite a bit of local wildlife, including a number of sea birds. We also took several drives around the island, visiting St. John Point, and Campbell Point trail, which takes you through a beautiful forest of arbutus trees. There are a few small grocery stores on the island, but I would recommend a larger shop on the mainland before catching the ferry across, as we did. There is a wine/liquor store on the island as well, and the Mayne Island Brewing Company sells its beers by the bottle, as well as offering tastings and pints to stay. I loved our stay at The Grove, and we are already making plans to return. This is a great spot for a family or larger group who wants to gather in some peace and quiet on beautiful Mayne Island.
