At the recommendation of a friend who lives in Tofino, we stayed in the "Forest Den" cabin which was cozy yet spacious with a well appointed winter garden  sitting room and divided loft which would sleep two couples comfortably and in privacy. One of the beds had two large skylights directly overhead - which allowed us to fall asleep while looking... More

We stayed here a few weeks ago at the Salal Berry Cottage. The location was great, it is across the road from the beach. Inside the cabin was very cozy but we soon realized that the advertised double futon is just a love seat, which is false advertising. We were locked out the first night and had to drive into... More

My boyfriend and me stayed in one of the B&B rooms at Solwood and were pleasantly surprised about this place: everything was clean (the shared bathroom, our bedroom etc.), the room was set up in a very practical way with storage facilities and a closet, we had fresh beautiful garden flowers on our bedtable and just loved the whole arrangement...

I must have been asleep when I consulted Tripadvisor about this place. If I had read the recent reviews I NEVER would have booked it. There is virtually nothing positive to say about Solwood, except its location is pretty much as advertised. This is NO RETREAT/SPA. It felt more like a glorified campsite. There was no one to greet us,... More

I've stayed at Solwood 5 times. Each time I stay there it gets worse. The first time I stayed, it was great for a large party of 8, great price. However, the lady that is regularly there is very snarky to customers. The yard area has a lot of garbage around. One time I stayed in the main house for... More

The other reviews from august '08 say it well. We stayed the first 3 days of august. Don't let the website and price (high) fool you. This is no B&B. And the owner doesn't live there, she lives in Ucluelet 30 miles away. The 'kids' who run it are just recruits looking for a room and board. We got very... More

We never actually got to stay in this location. We called Solwood and booked our stay on Tuesday for our weekend getaway. In the morning of our departure date, one lady called us and told us they overbooked us! Besides overbooking, they even got the wrong date! So I guess I should consider myself lucky, cause if they never overbooked... More

This was our first experience with Tofino and dont get us wrong, Tofino is a very beautiful place. We tried to select an accomodation that would give our family, that has two young girls and a dog a memorable trip. We chose the Forest cottage with the seperate loft. It will be memorable, only not in a good way. We... More

I booked this room (The Cathedral room) as I wanted our visit to Tofino to be the high spot of our trip to Vancouver & the island. The room was very expensive but looked something special on the website. In fact it WAS spectacular, but not comfortable. No shower (OK it has got a powertub, but I like a shower).... More
