Not quite like our expectation

Liked: The host was very friendly.
Disliked: We chose the B&B at the end of a tour through the wilderness of Vancouver Island to enjoy nature at a beautiful lake-side. Actually, the lakeside terras has a view on the highway and houses at the overside of the lake. Also, we were surprised by the Chinese decoration of the location, which is not corresponding the photo’s at booking.com. The host was very friendly, however merely understood the English language. His young daughter had to translate. We were not sure whether he was the owner or administrator. The whole neighbourhood seems to transform into a more Asian neighbourhood, something we did not expect. The breakfast took some getting used to.

Good for a place to...

Liked: I enjoy the delicate breakfast
Disliked: The entry confused me a little bit

Excellent stay, well equipped and...

Liked: Loved the location, room was large and had everting one might need and more. Great hot tub, lakefront, very nice, thoughtful breakfasts.
Disliked: Maybe too much stuff outside, too many plastic toad stools, animals and arches. Less plastic hiding nature.

Disappointing

Great location at the lake...

Liked: The ability to be at the lake during this heat wave was a blessing. The breakfast was great and in time.
Disliked: The stairs to the lake was a bit of a challenge and the entrance to the lake was very unpleasant

Need to improve breakfast offering

Liked: Lake front
Disliked: Poor breakfast choices

Superb

Liked: Very welcoming and clean. Location was brilliant.
Disliked: Dietary needs could have been considered for breakfast

Pleasant

Liked: We stayed in the King's Suite, which was very spacious and very well equipped, with a large, comfortable bed and a view of the lake. There is also a communal room with a dining table for 6 persons. Somewhat surprisingly, the common room also contained a large illuminated plastic snowman (in July), Christmas lights, plus a gold reindeer and an ornamental bird cage on the balcony...The lakeside was well equipped, with a jacuzzi, two kayaks and a canoe, plus life jackets - all free to use.
Disliked: Our room contained a large bath/jacuzzi. Unfortunately, the jacuzzi hasn't been used for a while and when it was turned on, it spewed out bathroom mold into the water. The room appeared clean, but the sheets were unironed and the pillows were very hard.It appears that the owner has changed recently; the facility seems to be in the hands of a management company and the (very pleasant) resident owner/caretaker (?) speaks essentially no English, so we communicated through his little daughter.We were served an omelette for our first breakfast with no bread. We don't eat cooked breakfasts and asked if we could have only bread and jam the next day, but received a terse response from the management that the breakfasts are complementary and cannot be changed. The next day's breakfast was what looked like a ham and cheese bun covered with some yellow sauce...One potential problem is access. The house is built into a steep hillside and access is through a narrow "fairy cave" passage between the rock and the house, followed by a steep staircase to the rooms, which is tough to negotiate with heavy luggage.
