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.
My Boyfriend and I spent the past weekend at The Hopeless Romantic B & B and I cannot say enough about the elegance, atmosphere and charm of this beautiful spot. The host was such a lovely lady, so accommodating and kind, she even had places for us to see all mapped out when we arrived. The room was beautifully decorated and soooo clean, and extremely elegant. If you ever go to Kelowna you need to stay here we recommend it 100% and will definitely be back.....
Quite frankly, I was shocked to discover that our suite was actually a basement suite in a townhouse in a tired suburb of Kelowna. The photos on the website show glorious big picture windows, show-stopping kitchens and views. The truth is our suite called the Chardonnay was a dark cave with one sliding door and a view that looked over the neighbour's lawn equipment. Spoiler Alert: there is no romance to be found in the Hopeless Romantic B&B. And as others have mentioned, the host is very in-your-face. Sorry, but I don't stay at a B&B to make long-term friends. How I longed to be staying in a hotel where I could be anonymous and just enjoy the hotel ambiance. Other details? The bed was really, really bad and felt like sleeping on a soft marshmallow. The coffee was really bad, more like warm dishwater and the decor is horrible with dark baby poo coloured walls, fake flowers and a plastic tablecloth on the kitchen table. It's quite odd that this place gets such high reviews -- it does make we wonder about the state of mankind.…
The host of this place is pretty much obsessive and crazy. While we kept the house clean and quiet she repeatedly would knock on the door and balcony door checking up on us. Was really creepy and uncomfortable.
My cousin and I (two senior ladies) spent a week at this lovely home. Leah was such a warm and amazing hostess - checking in frequently to see if we needed or wanted anything.The atmosphere here is sublime from the furnishings and all over decor to the excellent amenities provided. Exquisite linens and bedding and a kitchen supplied with everything one would want. The view from the private outdoor patio was breath taking - both during the day over looking the city with mountain views and the city lights at night. I would not hesitate to refer others here - this establishment is absolutely top notch!
From the moment we arrived we knew this was a very special place. The view of the lake and city is absolutely stunning. My wife and I wanted a quality place to relax and enjoy Kelowna. Our room was wonderful, so spacious, modern and beautifully decorated with everything you could possibly need. We even had a private patio to sit and enjoy the amazing view. This was a perfect choice for us! Our hostess was so nice. She greeted us with a smile and shared many great restaurant and winery ideas. We were given a map of the area and she highlighted many other things to do as well. Thanks for a wonderful stay. We will definitely be back.
My husband and I stayed at the Hopeless Romantic B&B, in the Merlot Suite, for the second time in June 2018. We love staying in this quiet, lovely suite.It really does check all the boxes for a great vacation. The room was meticulously clean and beautifully decorated with many personal touches that make it feel like home the minute you walk through the door. The private balcony offered an outstanding view of the city. Leagh, our host was most gracious and provided us with many great suggestions that made our Kelowna stay memorable. We loved our visit and would highly recommend this property.
We stayed at The Hopeless Romantic B&B Guest Suites for 3 nights in September 2018. On entering our suite, it’s immediately very clear this is a property which is managed by someone who is very house proud - finished to a high standard and very clean (cleanliness is the first thing I look for when staying away from home!). We also appreciated the helpful advice offered when we checked in. However, unfortunately the suite we were staying in (Merlot) was directly under the kitchen area of the main home upstairs; there is sadly very little sound proofing which made for a very disruptive evening when the owner was entertaining guests for dinner on the second night of our stay. My concern was not immediately accepted and I did not think it was handled in the best manner. However, the following day, Leagh did apologise and offered to refund the full night which was appreciated. Just a couple of other points to note; (i) the check-in window is very narrow (16:00 -17:00) and we didn’t feel that a late change to our plans was appreciated (and received an email enquiring where we were, at the very time we estimated our arrival time which felt very poor when we had literally just arrived) and (ii) while breakfast may have been included previously, it was not included as part of our stay, despite being advertised on the website. On balance, we would not stay here again if were visiting Kelowna.…
We spent a week here and had a great time. It is a small apartment with (almost) everything you need. No stove, but a microwave. Great beds, wonderful housekeeping and an attentive host and awesome muffins. We booked through booking.com and did not realize we did not have breakfast included. That was disappointing and my only advice would be to inform people ahead.
When Leagh showed me the Merlot Suite, my first word was "it is exactly as shown on the picture". The suite was well decorated, spotless and equipped with everything one needs for a short stay. There was a private balcony with a fantastic view (despite the smoke from the forest fire). Leagh was a perfect host and had provided us with many suggestions for Kelowna visit. This is a magical place for a getaway with resonable cost.
