Another wonderful stay at Cornerstones
I have just returned from my second vacation at Cornerstones BnB and it continues to be my favourite get away spot. Kathryn and Annabelle welcomed me into their beautiful home and ensured that my week-long stay was enjoyable. The Sunrise Suite was clean, comfortable and spacious. I loved to sit on the balcony at the end of a busy day and enjoy the view. Breakfasts were delicious and different every day. I enjoyed our lively conversations every morning. Cornerstones is in the perfect location. It's an easy walk to the beach and the village's downtown streets are a block away. I always planned my own day's itinerary but Kathryn and Annabelle made sure that I knew about all the local events and "must-see" spots that were within walking distance. Qualicum Beach can be as busy or as relaxing as you want! Kathryn and Annabelle are friendly and gracious hosts and I enjoyed their company.
\nTill next time 🙂
A wonderful B&B you will want to return to!
We had a wonderful 4 night stay, Kathy and Annabelle are wonderfully gracious hosts. The location is excellent, on a very quiet street yet just a 3 minute walk from all the shopping and restaurants in the quaint Qualicum Beach "downtown". The Sunrise room was spacious, immaculately clean, and had a very comfortable bed. The large bathroom had a soaking tub and separate shower. Breakfast each morning was a treat for all the senses; you select from 2 unique menu options the evening before. Plenty of off-street parking in front. Each guest has their own front door code. It is a wonderful base for exploring the many nearby attractions (Cathedral Grove, Little Qualicum Falls, Old Country Market (Goats-on-the-roof), Big Qualicum Fish Hatchery, etc.) You are provided with maps for many in-town walking trails easily accessed on foot from the B&B. We tried many of these. Don't miss the Qualicum Beach Museum which is just a short walk across the street. The town has many excellent places to eat and a spacious common area at Cornerstones makes it feasible for you to bring back food to eat there when you feel like it. It is a great place for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation in a lovely part of Vancouver island. We look forward to a return stay!
\nImpeccable hospitality meets delicious breakfast
My wife and I spent 3 days at the Cornerstones B&B during a 8-day trip to Vancouver Island and the stay turned out to be a memorable experience in the best sense.
\n
\nWhile the lovely room (we stayed in the Sunrise Suite) alone - cozy, spacious, well-equipped with amenities - would already make this B&B a great place to stay, it is the amazing hospitality of the hosts Kathryn and Annabelle that make it truly stand out.
\n
\nFrom the very beginning you feel like welcome guests/friends and the breakfast (a delicious "set meal" with some options to choose from, which offered a lot of variety over the three days) with interesting conversations which also included a wealth of sightseeing recommendations that Annabelle provides for the broader area - many of which we did not have on the radar and which turned out to be some of our favourite places to visit during the stay - gave us an energizing start into the day.
\n
\nFrom a practical perspective, the property is located in a quiet street and Qualicum Beach is a great base for exploring the area.
\n
\nIf we manage to visit Vancouver Island again, the Cornerstones B&B would definitely again be a go-to-place for us.
Qualicum Beach Newbies....
We are sending along another five star review for this wonderful B&B. Our hosts Annabelle and Kathy were warm, welcoming and informative. This was our first visit to Qualicum Beach and we left this wonderful town intent on a return. And, we will once again stay here. Our room was very spacious and impeccably clean. Home made cookies greeted us on arrival. Annabelle and Kathy both worked the kitchen where they gave us breakfast choices cooked to perfection. We were given the inside scoop on QB and surrounding towns. The whole experience was delightful…thank you to such wonderful hosts. They deserve their 5 star billing.
\nAbsolutely outstanding
Five stars for this amazing B&B. Hosts are warm and inviting. Rooms are spotless and food is top notch. Hospitality at it's finest. Really enjoyed my stay. It felt like home away from home. I will definitely be back. Qualicum Beach is a cute little town and this B&B is nicely situated walking distance to the village. The hosts were fantastic at providing info and suggestions for the area.
