My partner gave me a surprise trip to Vancouver, Canada for my weeklong 40th Birthday celebration. We checked in at the Barclay House B&B the first few days and I wished we stayed there the whole week for my birthday. (We went to Tofino and Whistlers after) The place and its location were just GREAT! We stayed in the basement Suite and it was fantastic. The room, service and food were just amazing. But most of all, the Owner, Manager and Staff were just the nicest, most pleasant people. Just knowing them was such a pleasure already. They were so friendly but very professional. They made my birthday so special! My heartfelt thanks to all of them, Rebecca, JJ, Mette, Art and the rest of the staff. Staying at the Barclay House will always make the occasion a very special one. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this place. I would DEFINITELY come back!

I know I should have done this sooner. In October my wife and I had the great fortune of staying at Barclay House in Vancouver. From the moment we walked in it was abundantly clear that a great deal of attention had been paid to detail. Barclay House is a wonderful old house that has been renovated under the watchful eye of the manager, J.J. who incidentally personifies the positive energy and hospitality of the place.
Barclay House is situated within walking distance of English Bay and numerous other attractions. Frankly it was difficult to pull ourselves away from the house though. With its spacious verandah and grand parlour we just wanted to sit, read, and soak in the warm atmosphere of our lodgings.
While there we stayed in the Peak Room. At the top of the house it simply is a wonderful place to wake from a night's sleep. The room is large and with its skylights and windows it is bathed in natural light.
In the morning we were treated to a sumptuous breakfast. I don't know where they attracted their cook from but I hope they hang on to him. I'm a breakfast person though!
The staff is engaging and very knowledgeable without being fawning. They made our stay delightful.
Barclay House is a gem. I would love to keep it a secret but that wouldn't be fair.
We would return in a heartbeat!

We spent the first portion of our honeymoon at the Barclay House in the Haidiway Suite. We loved it! The room was great, the location is close to everything in Vancouver. Our host Dennis directed us to great sightseeing locations and tours and we had a fabulous time. We were able to walk to a lot of great places and the breakfasts were great. Thanks Art! We can't wait to return for an anniversary. This was our first trip to Canada and it was fabulous! This place is warm and modern! We highly recommend it!

Five of us (2 couples + one) stayed at Barclay House in the inhospitable Canadian winter and were kept warm, wonderfully fed and delighted with many thoughtful extras. The B & B is well-located for walking downtown and to Stanley Park. Best of all, the owners stock each room with every possible comfort: champagne, very good cookies, a refrigerator full of Toblerone, biscotti and other calorific treats; they provide internet access, large-screen tv's, and wonderful, copious breakfasts. The management is available to give advice and directions and -- a lovely surprise -- when we ate our final meal (at the very recommendable Sequoia Grill in Stanley Park), Barclay House's owner had called and ordered a little extra amuse-bouche of local salmon for us. We couldn't have been happier with our stay.
