Detailed Reviews
This was our second visit and a highlight of our trip to Kelowna. We thoroughly enjoyed the extra space, the private suite complete with sitting area and mini kitchen. The view from the private patio was beautiful and the privacy was very enjoyable. The place is kept immaculately clean. Can't recommend it enough.

Probably the best way to say that the Hopeless Romantic is a great place to stay in Kelowna is to simply state that we have already booked our third stay with Leagh at her lovely B&B. Our room (the Merlot suite) is always tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean and we enjoy the views from the private patio overlooking the city and Okanagan Lake. The B&B's quiet neighbourhood location is close to East Kelowna wineries and has easy access to the KVR Myra Canyon trestles bike trail. The B&B is also close to shopping and restaurants along Highway 97 and has convenient access to the airport. But the best part of the Hopeless Romantic B&B is your helpful and friendly hostess Leagh whose delicious breakfasts are the perfect way to start your day. Leagh is also very knowledgeable about area attractions and always has good suggestions for wineries or restaurants to visit. We would highly recommend the Hopeless Romantic for your stay in Kelowna.

My wife and I recently stayed in the Chardonnay Suite at the Hopeless Romantic B&B and we were very pleased. The apartment / suite was spacious, comfortable, tastefully decorated and had every convenience you could possibly need whle away from home. What I particularly liked was the fact that it had its own entrance and I didn't feel that I was sharing any common areas with other guests. In fact, I never saw anyone other than the owner, Leagh, while we were there. Leagh was a delight to deal with and would bring delicious breakfasts to us each morning. The Hopless Romantic is certainly a safe bet for a very nice stay while in Kelowna.

My wife and I were greeted by Leagh who showed us down to the Merlot Suite. What a magical surprise. Leagh could not have been more welcoming and helpful and the suite could not have been more comfortable and stylish. The view from our patio across the town of Kelowna with a mountain backdrop is truly magical, especially after sundown. The location is about 8 kms from the centre of Kelowna but no more than about 7 mins by car. Thank you Leagh, The Hopeless Romantic B&B was the highlight of our road trip from Regina to Vancouver.

The Hopeless Romantic had been recommended by good friends and it was wonderful. Leagh was so welcoming and her place is beautiful. We had a private suite with an amazing view of Kelowna. The house is on a very quiet street and the evenings are just right for enjoying a glass of wine. We were able to wake up, have our coffee and then enjoy the most scrumptious breakfast made from scratch and delivered to your deck!

“SEX! You want SEX? You’ll only get sex when the kid next door walks on the moon.” 30 years later the kid next door becomes the first person to land on the moon; and so goes the apocryphal story that Neil Armstrong, shortly after setting foot on the moon, is reported to have said, “Good luck Mr Gorsky” as a nodding reference to the overheard comment from his neghbour.
Neil Armstrong never did return to the moon, and so it appears that the hapless Mr Gorsky was to experience one of life’s greatest pleasures for the one and only time. However, had he heard about the Hopeless Romantic B&B in Kelowna, then, like me, he would not have had to wait for another moon landing to experience another of life’s greatest pleasures and treasures.
It was exactly one year to the day, July 1st Canada Day, that we began our second sojourn to experience the delights and fantasy that is the Hopeless Romantic B&B.
Once again we became a guest of loves tune, and with my friend and lover close by my side, so were our hearts to be at peace as we were embraced by the warmth and friendliness of Leagh, the creator and keeper of the Hopeless Romantic.
And, later that evening, the sumptuous welcoming bed and smooth soft sheets enveloped us causing our senses to tingle to their very touch.
From our balcony looking across the lakeshore we watched as lake beams glistened in the dark and then faded like bursting fireworks. Moments like these are lost in time like tears in the rain.
I turn and my lover beckons me to “Kiss Me at the Garden Gate.” Who can resist such an offer? It is always available no matter the time of the day or night. You just have to look for it. Little moments like these are further accentuated as our charming host, leaves us a few freshly baked blueberry scones served on Heart shaped plates.
If wine and passion is your path to merriment the Hopeless Romantic will fulfill your desires and encapsulate you in a shower of romance. Your stay at the Hopeless Romantic places you in close proximity to some of the best Wineries in the Okanagan valley and indeed in the whole of Canada.
If your desire is to sample the delights of the many wineries then Leagh can organise a wine tour to titillate your taste buds. If you preference is to sit on the spacious sunny deck relaxing with a cool glass of bubbly and let time drift lazily by, then try one of the Romance Packages. Guys…..your lover will be thanking you in ways that you never dreamed possible when you shower her with roses, chocolates strawberries and champagne……so step up to the plate and treat her to one of the many fabulous Romance Packages.
After four glorious days and nights it was time to bid farewell again to the Hopeless Romantic; but, like the autumn leaves that are compelled to tumble to the ground and die, and in the springtime… like sweet memories they will return, so will we. But until then…time seems to stand quite still.

I really wanted to be able to give The Hopeless Romantic 5 stars. The room was absolutely gorgeous - the bedroom was comfortable, the suite had everything we could have wanted and Leagh was able to be flexible to accommodate our late check-in time as well as setting up a great wine and cheese plate for us to enjoy.
The only issue we had was with the breakfast, which was delicious except for one issue - the english muffins were mouldy. When I pointed it out to Leagh instead of acknowledging it she tried to argue it was blueberries (it was green and white and very clearly mould). I truly would understand if a local B&B might miss something in their preparation, but arguing the point is pretty not on.
All that said, I think it's pretty clear this was a one-off. Leagh has a great place and looks to me to be a very adequate host, so this one negative event should not reflect generally on her place of business. My reason for posting it here is just to ensure it does remain a one-time affair.

To describe the experience at the Hopeless Romantic evokes phrases like anticipation of every need, ultimate privacy, quiet, honouring our space, impeccable service, and overall elegance. These are the qualities that make for a truly romantic experience. One of the top trademarks of a great b and b is to help you feel like it is your home. We had all of that and more. This helps create an environment of relaxation that all will be taken care of; in an attitude of professionalism, discretion, and "consider it done". Our room was always perfectly groomed, fresh wine glasses provided, beautiful linens, and coffee ready to prepare for the next morning. Breakfast delivered to and served on our patio each morning would satisfy the most discerning gourmand; with beautiful china, presentation touches of seasonal fruits and herbs and two full courses with plenty of food to start the day. We loved the opportunity to enjoy our breakfast just in each other's company, enjoying the great view daytime or evening. The suite was fully appointed with a full kitchen, decorative and functional lighting, adequate storage, lots of closet space and without distracting items on the counterspace to take away from personal storage needs. We really appreciated that the privacy and elegance extended into a space free of pets. Overall the Hopeless Romantic is a true model for what makes a great b and b, and this ranks as one of the very best. Happily, the Hopeless Romantic has raised the bar for our experience.

Class , style, good taste and attention to detail are often missing from B&B's but this one really stands out. Located in a private housing area high on a hill in Kelowna, overlooking the Okanagan valley , both apartments in this B&B are boutique standard and a pleasure to stay in.
The hostess Leagh's hospitality is warming and her breakfasts leave the Fairmont trailing behind.

The Chardonnay Suite is outstanding! Leagh made us feel right at home from the moment we walked through the front door. We enjoyed the convenience of the full kitchen, the view from the walkout patio and the comfort of the living room. The bedroom was awesome....the sheets were buttery soft and we slept well. All our needs and wants were fulfilled. Living high up on the hill brings a quiet solitude with a unique perspective of life in Kelowna. We will return!
