An older property with simple rooms, great local colour, and gorgeous location.
We stayed in one of the three cabins behind the inn. Our cabin was larger than expected, and had a full kitchen with dishes, cutlery, coffee maker...all the important stuff. Pub downstairs was cool, and the crazy view from the kitchen tanle made my morning coffee worthwhile. Loved it there and will be rebooking.
It is a lovely heritage building ideally located on the cove with great views to Heriot island.
However the room was very disappointing. Not the same as photos … no window in room, and poor cleanliness / state of repair.
I loved the charm of this old building and how well restored it is The staff are super friendly and helpful A nice place for a restful break from the busy world

Stunning views. Room was very different than what was advertised on Expedia.
Historic Inn in a beautiful location. No TV or modern type amenities might bother some, but made for a very peaceful two evenings . Rooms are smaller due to age of the building but had a small private veranda . Brian at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. Enjoyed staying here.
We stayed at Heriot Bay Inn for our 10-year wedding anniversary and it was absolutely amazing from start to finish.
First off, the staff were incredible — genuinely friendly, welcoming, and so helpful throughout our stay. The rooms were cute and quaint, with the perfect cozy charm that made it easy to relax and unwind.
The inn itself feels like a beautiful heritage building, full of character and history, adding a special touch to the whole experience. And the view of the Bay? Just stunning. Watching the sunrise and sunset here will quite literally take your breath away.
We also loved the on-site pub — the food was incredible, fresh, and full of flavor. And with the Cortes Ferry just down the street, it was easy to take a spontaneous little day trip to explore even more of this beautiful area.
This place made our anniversary feel truly special. We’re so happy we chose to stay here, and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a magical getaway!
I just liked the joint.. it's not high end in a way an "okay overall stay". The staff are friendly, interesting people, laid back in general. The surroundings are lovely and it's pet friendly. Basically you'll be staying in the old jewel of Quadra Island where most tourists and locals alike seem very fond of it, regardless of age. Having said that you are part of a hospitality community as well as a guest. Not sure if that makes sense. If in you ever spent time working seasonally in a tourism and locally loved haunt in Banff or Canmore you will nostalgically take it in stride. Keep in mind sometimes the pub hosts a live band. You're in a harbour so you will hear it anyhow but ask about your room's location if you like quiet earlier at night. Clarify with hotel if there are recommended quiet times posted and observed. I don't recall noticing music late into the night from my room. I was not located above the pub side of the hotel.
Basically kinda like the Sylvia in Vancouver. Bed was okay for comfort but I like a firm mattress. Rooms are not roomy. No coffee./tea or kettle in your room but an area in hallway set up for coffee/tea that may or may not be ready before 7:30 AM. Just stay on island time.

Amazing oceanfront property and unique old hotel that brings you back in time. There is also a lovely gift shop in the lobby. Started off in a standard room. Very simple with a double bed and a single bed with in suite bathroom. Unfortunately nothing more. No coffee maker, no blow dryer (had to get one from front desk), and directly above the pub so when the live music started playing Friday night, there was no sleeping. Walls and windows were vibrating and the pounding music would have been much better if I didn’t have a headache and wanted to be in the pub. That said, we were fortunate enough to be offered another quieter room due to a cancellation, so customer service was top notch. We were also upgraded and did not have to pay extra. Sadly due to staffing issues, the hotel restaurant doesn’t open until 4pm so no place to get coffee or breakfast. Would have loved to have seen a coffee urn in the lobby considering the proximity and availability of coffee shops on the island. The heritage site can be appreciated for what it is and it is understandable that things are what they are, but slightly inconvenient. Price reflects what you get. Stay started out a bit rough especially without air conditioning and very loud room, but was turned around with the customer service. We ended up in a room with an outdoor patio where fresh air flowed through the door all night and kept us cooler.
I absolutely loved this little place. The building has tons of old charm. The rooms were super clean and the beds were comfortable. The staff was great to deal with from start to finish and the restaurant was cute. I would imagine it’s even better here when they have the large patio open in the summer.
When I say the building had charm, it looked like the original slightly slanted floors, windows (maybe) and door locks. It was all awesome.
I will be staying here again when I go back.
