It felt special from the minute we phoned to enquire about accommodation. We were overwhelmed to experience the extraordinary warmth of their welcome, genuine concern for our comfort, good humor and professional service at all times. We felt part of their family and that makes it one of the most special establishments we have ever stayed in during our travels.... More

Without a doubt, the most welcoming and friendliest B & B we've ever stayed at! Meticulous attention to detail and comfort. The food was outstanding and food allergies did not present a problem to the chef. Thank you so much, Roger and Shirley, for making our trip so enjoyable and memorable! More

Perfect accommodation, view, food and hosts! A pity that we could only stay one night! Roger and Shirley do their utmost to make their guests feel at home, and the excellent breakfast, conversation, and humour made our short visit one that we hope to repeat sometime in the future. More

We can't believe how strangers can make you feel so at home. B&B's can be nice and clean but to us it's the "people" that make the difference and Shirley and Roger did that. We were over for the U13 Soccer Provincials and Roger even came out to see our final game. Their home is imaculate with plenty of attention... More

Every aspect of this B&B was superb – big rooms with big private bathrooms; remarkable free supplies (razors, toothpaste and brushes, high-end soaps and shampoos and lotions…and first-aid supplies, Werther’s candies, truffles, After Eights…) AND a super-comfy bed and WiFi and…the most delightful hosts! And breakfast was fantastic. Roger is a real character and loves to banter and interact with... More

My friend came to Powell River to visit me and we decided that for part of our visit, we'd go to a local B & B and have a relaxing time off for a few days - for me it was a holiday in my own town. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The hosts were very kind and wonderful. The... More

I spent a couple of nights at the Beacon B&B. This is one of the nicest places that I have stayed. The hosts were very accomodating by providing me with local tourism information, ferry schedules in addition to Powell River's illustrious history. What a beautiful town, and if your are a runner it is great place to run with lots... More

I travel a lot as a solo woman on business and for sfety concerns I have steered towards B&Bs and always had wonderfull experiences, until this one. Hosts never gave me any peace and quiet unless I locked myself away in my room. There was no private space to sit and read or work as they hovered around as soon... More

The Beacon was recommended when we booked our concert tickets with the Academy of Music. We found Shirley and Roger to be warm, thoughtful, experienced hosts with an encyclopedic knowledge of their city. The bed was comfy, the ensuite was spotless, and the view from the breakfast table included seals, seabirds and the peaks of Vancouver Island across the water.... More
