We walked by this great looking place five weeks before booking and decided-just from the outside look- to find out more about The Corkscrew on the internet. We weren't disappointed after selecting the French room in this 1912 Kitsilano B &B.

As soon as were greeted in a terrifically friendly way by Karen we knew we'd like the place. Karen's breakfasts were varied and really good, from the lemon ricotta pancakes to the quiche and yummy scones.

The Corkscrew is ideally located near Kitsilano Beach-water and mountains- and also is very near to shopping, restaurants and a short bus or cab ride to downtown Vancouver.

We'd definitely recommend The Corkscrew.

The stay at Corkscrew Inn was amazing! The rooms are all beautifully done up and I have to add that it is a nice pleasure to stay at a B&B that has each room equiped with a private bathroom. This definitely added to the comfort. Now, don't get me started on comfort...the beds were the best! The beds were luxurious. We also took time to view their gallery of corkscrews. It is quite amazing to imagine how many corkscrews have been created over many many years of history. The stain glass windows were spectacular and definitely add to the decor. Each breakfast we had was art in itself...and yummy. The hostess and owner were a pleasure to meet. Very friendly. The area of the B&B is amazing and well worth the stay. I truly recommend this place to stay...I did a lot of research prior to picking the Corkscrew Inn and it was right on target with what we would have wanted in a B&B. If you decide to stay with them, you won't regret it at all. It will add to the experiences that you will encounter on your vacation.

My partner and I just spent a week in Vancouver following a conference in the city centre, and given the relative cost, we were almost expecting to enjoy the upmarket conference hotel more. We couldn't have been more wrong.

It's almost impossible to overstate the charm, consideration, and courtesy of the Inn and its staff - as you may gather from other reviews the Inn itself is a renovated Edwardian house that has been transformed into a work of art through the extensive use of handmade, custom stained glass and other tasteful elements of period-style decor.

In terms of its basic mechanics as a B&B, the Corkscrew is excellent - the rooms are very comfortable (great mattresses), very well maintained, and well-furnished with restored local antique pieces. It's very well located - just far enough from major roads to be quiet, but situated next to major bus lines in two directions (by which it's 15 mins to the centre), as well as being within walking distance of the many Kitsilano shops, restaurants and beaches worth visiting. The service (provided by the housekeeper, Karen Craig, and to a lesser extent by the B&B's owners), is extremely friendly and unobtrusive, and the conveniences (tea, biscuits, etc.) very convenient indeed.

But back to the charm - after two nights at the Inn, the place felt like a second home, and really made our experience of Vancouver special. For a city with excellent cuisine, the breakfasts are outstanding, and they went to great lengths to accommodate special dietary needs (in this case, gluten-free), going so far as to obtain gluten-free bread for use throughout the week, making gluten-free pancakes, and gluten-free French toast. Needless to say, it was all excellent (as confirmed by my partner, who ate the pancakes with gusto). Take this together with touches like the beautiful glass mosaic in front of the charming corkscrew museum...I don't think I've ever encountered a hotel, b&b or pension with this much attention to detail. And it's very good value for that degree of luxury.

We cannot recommend the Corkscrew Inn highly enough - it's a remarkable space in a remarkable city.

The perfect place for a quiet get away. Delicious food and located within walking distance of excellent restaurants and Kits beach. The attention to detail in this B&B is second to none with wonderful stained glass all in the wine lover's theme. Excellent hot breakfast with a variety of cereals, fruits and fresh bread ensure you are fueled for your selected adventure.
