The reviews are in for Trip Advisor’s 2011 Travelers Choice best Canadian B&Bs and 6 of the top 10 are BC Bed & Breakfasts, and 4 of the top 10 are Guild Members. The hard working winners are ThistleDown House (North Vancouver), Abbeymoore Manor (Victoria), The West End Guest House (Vancouver) and Apple Blossom B&B (West Kelowna). Trip Advisor awards mean a lot to B&B innkeepers because they are based solely on guest reviews and cannot be bought or self-nominated. The fact that 40% of Canada’s top 10 voted Bed and Breakfasts are members of the British Columbia Bed and Breakfast B&Bkeepers Guild is a good indicator of the quality of our members and their dedication to providing guests with enjoyable and memorable stays.
Each B&B is unique. That is, for me,what makes staying at B&Bs particularly fun since I KNOW I can count on Guild members to be top quality in both accommodations and service and yet so very different in design, look and feel.
All BC B&Bkeepers members are also Tourism BC approved and many are also Canada Select rated. The most important thing about great B&Bs is simple: we innkeepers love what we do, so we do it very well.
Speaking of owners, hearty congratulations to the B&Bkeepers: Anne, Ian and Michelle at Abbeymoore Manor; Ruth and Rex at ThistleDown House; Evan and Ron at The West End Guest House and Jeanette and John (pictured) at Apple Blossom B&B!
Where ever you go in British Columbia you can “rest assured” your BC Bed & Breakfast B&Bkeepers Guild members will make your stay a special one.
