“Great B&B”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2011

The location is hard to beat in Banff. It is right beside the Bow River and a very short walk to the Blue Canoe rental shop. We went canoeing and then walked to some great bars and restaurants. This B &B is within walking distance to everything in downtown Banff. The owner is very nice and helpful with suggesting places to eat and things to do. Breakfast is self serve bagels, muffins, cereal, etc.

“The owner went out of her way to help when an emergency arose.”

Clean, quiet, warm and friendly.Continental breakfast could be any time and fresh fruit was always available.
Whilst visiting from the UK, my friend had to be emergency hospitalised in Banff with a heart problem.The owner did so much to help out and even spent time taking me to local beauty spots so that I saw some of this lovely region in the snow and sunshine.She really is a gem and so is this B/B..handy for the town and as it happens only a block from the local hospital!!

“what a fabulous place”

This beautiful character home is located across from the bow river - the views were spectacular and the location was right in the midst of restaurants, theatre and shopping. We had an extended stay in this location, we loved it! We were very comfortable, the rooms were a great size, the beds were very comfortable, it was clean and the owner and staff were very friendly and well informed of the area. We are so happy to have found such a gem in the heart of beautiful Banff!

“A very nice property thats so close to everything!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 July 2010

We stayed for 2 nights and had a wonderful experience. The decor is great, breakfast was timely and delicious and the room was very well appointed.

I enjoyed the massive windows that gave us a great picture perfect river scene....I wouldn't stay anywhere else. The rates are so worth it as Banff is expensive and our stay did not break the budget.

Location is wonderful...walking distance to everything!
Husband loved the place and he is usually very picky with B & B's. Hostess was super friendly and felt like we were in a house to ourselves!

Will be back again. Thanks so much!!!
