We stayed at Bee & Thistle for 1 week as we had some family business to attend to. Having been to Vancouver a few times before I would say this is the best accomodation ever! Location is good, easy for downtown sights, as well as towards other suburbs, and up to North Vancouver and Whistler. You have to drive though,... More

Lynn and Michael run an excellent B&B - definitely the best that we have stayed in anywhere in the world. Every detail from the clever keyless entry to the front door of the imposing old house, through the exquisitely presented and tasting breakfasts to the beautiful yet functional decor of the rooms has clearly been carefully pondered and the most...

Where to begin - the hospitality, gourmet breakfast, delicious cookies left on your bed after returning from a day of adventure, the amazingly restored 1908 house that has every amenity plus (i.e., remote control gas fireplaces in every room, heated private bathroom tile floor, as well as, heated wood floors in your room) , great location, location, location from downtown...

...and Lynn & Michael of Bee & Thistle deserve their high ratings. They offer the extra touches that are so appreciated--warm cookies on the bed in the afternoon, a (free) stocked minibar and very comfortable beds in nicely appointed rooms. If I had to offer any fair balance, it would be the breakfasts. I am a guy who eats oatmeal... More

We stayed for two nights and the Bee & Thistle and we're blown away with the place and hospitality. The rooms are gorgeous with lots of extra touches that make it so special. Incredibly comfy beds with a well stocked fridge. The breakfasts are amazing better than a 5star hotel. More

Comfortable, clean, well appointed, great breakfast, and accommodating to us with our toddler. 4.5 stars because the king bed in our room was actually two twins combined, but still very comfy. More

In summary, the Bee and Thistle is the best B&B we have ever stayed in. Why? It is because Lynn and Michael have rolled many of the best features of numerous excellent B&Bs into one and then added some additional features to top that off. To start, the room we stayed in for 3 nights had enough space to feel... More

We had originally booked for 5 nights and ended up extending our stay in the Bee & Thistle for a total of 9 nights ! This is a very comfortable guest house that quickly grows on you and quickly becomes like your own personal Vancouver home. The details make all the difference : the beautifully restored Victorian home, the decoration,... More

I just had the most wonderful stay at the Bee and Thistle. It was cozy, beautiful, warm, and the breakfasts divine. It is by far the best place I've stayed in a long time and I'd go back in a second. Lynn and Michael were so hospitable and the care they took with me was unmatched. Homemade cookies on my... More
