My husband and I spent a week in the Canadian Rockies last month with friends from England, and I'm so happy that we stayed in this lovely B&B! Connie is a delightful host; from the minute you arrive, she makes you feel comfortable and completely at home. She and Jamie were so generous with their time, and provided loads of invaluable advice that made all four days of our stay go without a hitch. We took their advice and rented canoes to see the beautiful Vermillion Lakes, something that wouldn't have been on our radar screen based on the guidebooks. We also wouldn't have known about a local bus service to Lake Louise that saved us the burden of a super early start to secure parking, or to stop in the charming old town of Field where we escaped a rainstorm and were greeted as friends and served beautiful espresso and homemade scones at the Truffle Pigs Inn. We even got perfect tips for our drive to Jasper on the Icefields Parkway! The B&B itself is absolutely spotless, with every comfort thought of. Breakfasts were beautiful and substantial, which kept us going well into the day and certainly until we arrived back in the afternoon to the smell of freshly baked cookies and quick bread! You will not be disappointed with your stay here, and there is so much to explore in the area that we only scratched the surface and are already planning a...
Read moreThis Bed and Breakfast is fabulous in every way! The owners are the nicest, friendliest people and will help you plan your days with suggestions for hikes and activities. They make you feel like you are staying with friends or relatives and are so welcoming.||The breakfasts, served between 8 and 9 o’clock, are delicious and filling. Each day we had another yummy home cooked meal that kept us full until time for dinner. ||The rooms are lovely, with nice decor, and although there is no TV’s in the rooms, the hosts invite you to use the living rooms to watch TV or just relax, read, or use the wifi. The wifi does work in the rooms, but the signal is better on the main floor. ||The kitchen has fruit, cookies, coffee and a variety of teas available any time. ||The location is perfect...situated at one end of the town, it is within easy walking distance of the visitors center, restaurants, shopping, museums and the Cascade Gardens, which is a lovely place to stroll through.||And to top it all off, free parking is available on site, which in busy Banff, where parking can be at a premium, is a real bonus!||The price offers good value for expensive Banff, as many of the hotels charge much more. We really loved our 4 night stay and highly...
Read moreWell, what can we say, we stayed in seven B&Bs during our road trip of western Canada and this one stood out as far and away the best. Hosts Connie and Jamie gave us a very warm welcome to their house, which is conveniently situated on the Main Street into town, under ten minutes to all amenities in this compact little town. Jamie took the time to sit us down and show us the best local roads to take to spot wildlife, the best views, pleasant walks etc, while Connie welcomed us with coffee and cookies. ||||The place is spotlessly clean and our room was well appointed with a nice bathroom. The house has an interesting history and the proud owners were only too happy to tell us all about it, (additionally there is information to read all about it in the bedrooms ). ||A quality breakfast, which varies daily during each guests stay, was expertly served along with good conversation with Jamie, Connie and the other guests. The hosts really do go the extra mile to make guests feel at home and we would heartily recommend this B&B, thanks again Jamie and Connie for your...
