This is the first time I felt compelled to submit a review. We always like to stay at older inns and B & B's because of their charm and love to see how owners maintain and update these older homes. We were very excited to try out the English Inn - the professional pictures looked wonderful. Well, our stay was... More

Stayed for two evenings in May 2012. Gorgeous property, great for weddings or any afternoon outside function. We arrived on bicycle from Vancouver. Alex the new manager, kindly found a storage room that worked well to keep our bikes safe and dry. We stayed in a spacious room with one King bed and one Murphy bed and a large tv... More

The English Inn was just what I was looking for. The grounds were impeccable and totally relaxing. I loved going for a walk first thing in the morning. I would come back and have a great breakfast in the main room, again totally calming. The staff were very congenial and helpful with respect to information on various attractions to view... More

We stayed two weekend nights in May 2012. We paid the Livingsocial rate of $76/night and this included a light continental breakfast. Room: comfortable and clean for a 106-year old place. I think it might be cold in the winter as I could feel a draft near the windows. Breakfast: Good as there was fresh baked croissants and bagel, plus... More

My husband and I recently spent a fabulous weekend at this charming inn and I had to share just how much we enjoyed our experience! Upon arrival the staff was friendly and inviting and we found our room to be charming and just the change of pace from city life that we were looking for. Sadly what tends to be... More

My husband and I just returned from a weekend stay at the English Inn. I had a good first impression with the helpful staff on the phone.... More

Large property that is in needs to hire facility staff and gardeners. When we arrived at 730 pm for a three day stay. The room we were assigned was terrible, small narrow stair to get to the room, inadequate outdoor lighting, and the room smelled +++ musty with windows open. If someone has difficulty with mobility, this is not the... More

We stayed one night at the English Inn on a recent trip to Vancouver Island. We can only recommend this lovely inn for the cleanliness, quietness and overall value. While this may have been an off-season rate, it costs us 76 $ for the night, breakfast (delicious croissants) included. We had a private bathroom and balcony. In the morning, it... More

I and my fiancé stayed for 2 nights, when driving there wasn't sure if we were on the right path since it was in the subarb surrounded with old residential houses. But when we pulled into the inn, we were in for a surprise, it felt like we were in an English manor in the 1800's, surrounded with beautiful gardens... More

We stayed here one night. The staff was really friendly, and the hotel and the grounds are just really neat. We had a lovely room with modern conveniences including a fireplace in it and a beautiful view. We stayed during a time that was not busy at all so we had the place mostly to ourselves. More
