The Wickaninnish Inn

Very rarely does somewhere so lauded by others truly exceed all expectations. The Wickaninnish Inn is one of those very few cases. Everything about this place is just class. A setting that must be one of the most beautiful in the world, simple but stunning BC coastal architecture, gorgeously appointed rooms, impeccable service from the first to the last minute and the most memorable restaurant with an incredible wine list. Best still everything is understated. There is nothing flashy or out of place, it’s just pure quality. Think the diametrical opposite of Las Vegas or Dubai. I know that nothing this good happens without tireless hard work from the staff and an obsession with delivering for customers and I am massively grateful to them. This a truly special place and if we ever get the chance to come back to this beautiful part of the world then this would be the first and only place we would stay.

We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary at this breathtaking inn. We were blown away by every aspect of the experience! The inn itself is beautiful and luxurious, while still having the right amount of rustic charm. Every attention to detail is meticulous and thoughtful. The staff are all lovely and attentive! We have never experienced such amazing service, and we can’t imagine a more spectacular setting!! Thank you so much for this special holiday. We won’t forget it and we will definitely be back!!

Incredible. 4 nights with friends in The Pointe Building. Rooms large, ours with 2 chairs and gas fireplace. Nice amenities. Bathroom very nice and well appointed. Service fabulous from the moment you arrive til you drive away. Food excellent. Loved every minute. You can walk out the door and go for a walk in the woods and on the beach without getting in your car. We plan on returning.

I think this was our 5th visit. It’s a long way to come from North Yorkshire but I never regret the effort it takes because this is My Happy Place. The joy I feel as we leave the ferry and make the 31/2 hour drive is unlike anything else. As we check in the friendly staff on reception welcome us back and I relax because it is so familiar. Our room on the 3rd floor of the Pointe building has the wonderful view that I remember and I look forward to the next 4 nights we will spend here. The room is beautiful and cosy ( large though). We eat at the bar on our first night and the chicken burger is delicious as is the wine. As the hotel is on the beach I spend my mornings walking and searching the rock pools, excited to see what the tide has brought in - I am like a child again! I have treatments booked at the Ancient Cedar Spa for my birthday and I was delighted to spend my whole morning there. I have to say that the Hot Stone Massage with Esther was the best I have ever had! I hope she will be here when we return- we most definitely will return! That evening we ate in The Pointe restaurant where we were served by the delightful Shelby and our wine poured by a lovely young man whose name I missed but I do know he was new to the job. Thank you once again to Charles and everyone we met for making this a truly memorable visit again!

Staff were very helpful. The hotel was stunning. So peaceful and had everything we needed for our 4 night stay. Would highly recommend it if you are looking for something special
