Sturdies Bay Hotellit

”We had the most amazing time at Coles Bay Vacation Retreat! They are the most lovely couple who care so much about their guests experience. We arrived in the wee hours of the morning on a late flight and they were so accommodating, meeting us on the driveway to give us a tour of our place. They were also up in the morning preparing the most delicious breakfast of our choosing from a wonderful selection of menu items. They even catered to my gluten free needs! It was a quiet comfortable stay and...

”Very good pet friendly accommodation. Really appreciated the laundry room. Staff very friendly and professional. We’ll be back Just one note. I will never book a room through the hotel’s reservation system. It is a 3rd party system, that forwards you to another 3rd party system. Very inflexible and we were out $300 when trying to cancel a reservation a month in advance I will always use Expedia for future reservations. ”

”The Cottage and Castle is absolutely charming, beautifully decorated and situated in a lovely neighborhood of colourfully painted houses and As well it is anIt’s a real gem. However as we returned after an evening out the stench in the air from a soil, composting, wastewater and recycling treatment plant was overwhelming. I there is a solution to this as Chemainus is a charming town and the Cottage and Castle was exceptional! ”

”We loved the unit but had trouble with the thermostat to regulate the room's temperature. There was a quick reply to our request for assistance but we still didn't manage the room temperature, especially at night.”

”Beautiful. Lots of care taken go ensure my stay was memorable. ”

”lovely remote location”

”Clean, convient and quite at night. ”

”Oh boy...I greatly dislike writing negative reviews. While Chemainus is adorable, the location is fantastic and the exterior is a dream...this aint it. Mouldy drapes, a number of amenities were broken (electric fireplace, mouldy fridge), no wifi, questionably clean bedsheets. And (I have photos as proof) a white substance residue left on the counter next to the bed. I will say that the indoor jet tub was amazing! I swear I heard a cough below us at one point and noticed a little door that looked...

”Good breakfast and parking was good ”
