Outdoor Lovers0

Warmest hospitality! Bill and Milly know the area and can direct you to hiking, fishing, boating, and many other activities around town. We enjoyed homemade breakfast and dinner with other guests. The food was yummy and plentiful and we enjoyed meeting 4 guests hailing from Vancouver, Canada and London, England and hearing about their travel adventures and tips for places to see. The house is full of character and charm and the friendliness of the innkeepers is outstanding. We had a balcony and great view of the Alberni Inlet. They also offer lovely homemade soaps in the baths. It was one of our first post covid trips and we remembered how much we love having the opportunity to meet with other travelers! It's such a great way to learn about a country. Lastly, Outdoor Lovers is excellent value for the money.

I went on a vacation with my girlfriend and we planned to visit Tofino. To break up our travel time, we chose to stay for a night at this facility in Port Alberni. We were pleasantly surprised by the incredibly welcoming hosts. They provided us with fantastic recommendations for activities in the area, which we enjoyed so much that we extended our stay for an additional night. They also served us a delightful breakfast and accommodated our dietary preferences for dinner. The bed was comfortable and the room was impeccably clean. I totally recommend this place to anyone!

Nothing

Bill and Milly were great hosts and really made us feel at home. It was lovely to meet the dogs too! The breakfast was fantastic and they gave us some detailed guidance for local eateries and walks. Thanks to Bill's recommendations we even saw a bear catching salmon! The accommodation itself is very homely and clean. The shared bathroom was spacious and the shower pressure was good (all important after a long day on the trails!). We hope to visit again in the future.

Nothing for the price, exceptionally good value!

Perfect place for visiting Vancouver Island. Location was perfect for my exploration of the West Coast area and the many nice spots all the way between Nanaimo and Tofino. The room itself had everything I needed. Breakfast was excellent and Bill had many good tipps for exploring suited to my -unfortunately- short time of stay, including nice restaurants to visit. I think nothing beats this kind of local experience if you really want to get to know a place. Would 100% recommend and go there again.

All perfect, could only have wished for more sunshine

Bill was extremely pleasant and helpful. He even provided dinner for us - a home-cooked meal that was delicious and included in the price! We were only 3 minutes from where we needed to go to catch our boat to Bamfield, and he provided information on parking, etc. The house was super quiet and there was absolutely zero street noise , which made for a great sleep. We will definitely stay here again if we are coming to Port Alberni. I cannot recommend this property highly enough! Thanks Bill and Millie!

Bill provided a very fresh, substantial breakfast (home grown blueberries etc!) He and his wife seem very aware of healthy eating- fresh and quality ingredients. A dinner at no extra cost was also provided. (Ask about it.) House and room were spotless, immaculate. Bed very comfortable, high quality mattress etc. We have stayed in many B&Bs in USA and overseas. This one is in the very top rank. Also - great value for the price. The hosts are very knowledgeable about Port Alberni, Vancouver Island and its history and current issues. Very pleasant folks.

The only point I could mention was the fact that, during our stay the weather was quite hot during the day. Since few Port Alberni residents don't have air conditioning, the room could be too warm for some. But - Bill provided a fan, which alleviated any real problem.

We have stayed at Bill and Milly's place for one night and we love it so much. Immediately after we have booked our reservation, they asked us for our dietary preferences and told provided delicious and heartwarming home cooked food for us. 100 points for their hospitality 😍 The rooms were super clean and the the views of the rooms was also superb: one of our window faces the mountain and the other faces the lake. It's also just few minutes away from port alberni; making it a perfect situated location between Nanaimo and Tofino. Thank you very much Bill and Milly. We really appreciate it! :)

I had intended to stay at my son's place when I found out they were sick so I had to book a room from another city 3 hours away. I arrived about 7:45pm at night. I was greeted warmly at that hour. I was very pleased with the room. The full breakfast was a bonus. The owners are very nice people. The facilities were very clean. I was very appreciative of the bars of hand made soap that I was given as I left. One for me and one for my wife who wasn't with me. I will be reccomending this place to my friends

It's been a while, but we still want to leave a review for our stay with Bill. We enjoyed the stay very much. Bill is a very nice and attentive host. We slept in the upper floor of his house. The room was very nicely decorated and everything was very clean. Bill gave us many tips for our stay on Vancouver Island and always had an open ear for our questions. We especially enjoyed the breakfast. We are both vegetarians and Bill was very responsive to our wishes. Everything was homemade and very tasty. Especially the yogurt with homemade granola and the homemade jam. All in all, we can highly recommend a stay at Bill's. Thank you very much for the hospitality!

My friend and I stayed here and it was absolutely lovely. The hosts are incredibly kind,open and interesting people that not only offered to drive us to a close trail but also invited us to have dinner with them ,which was amazing just like the versatile breakfast. The room itself ,with comfortable beds, as well as the bathroom were absolutely spotless and they even had homemade soap. Further there are lots of seating opportunities on the porch to enjoy the view of the sunset over the water. And they also recommended for us to go down to the pier (walking distance of 10 minutes) to see the ships which was really great and other activites. Apart from that the B&B was easily accessible by bus with just a short walk to the station. (On a sidenote: we didn’t need parking but it was available and very well located and both pets were incredibly well behaved) Overall: we were sad we only stayed a night and will definitely return when we get the chance!

Nothing!
