I have never actually stayed in a real BnB before, so this was my first experience and what a treat it was! The hosts were welcoming, friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. The room was clean and comfortable with ample little snacks available if you wanted to indulge and the breakfast....oh my goodness the breakfast!! My husband and I stayed for 4 nights and 3 days and had the opportunity to choose from a diverse menu that allowed for dietary restrictions if required which was greatly appreciated. Each breakfast was prepared on time, expertly presented and equally delicious. It was also so nice to sit with the other guests and one of the hosts to chat as we enjoyed our meal. We had an absolutely wonderful experience and look forward to returning!

My first B&B experience was an amazing one. Cornerstones was an incredible experience with 2 amazing hosts and a beautiful property located steps from everything. A & K were amazing and besides being wonderful cooks and expectional company, they provided a pristine room with a private bathroom and many nice touches throughout. Overall a experience I will remember as clean, comfortable, relaxing and one which I will compare to all my future B&B experiences. Thanks so much ladies I miss your breakfasts and conversations already!!!

We had an absolutely perfect getaway at Cornerstones recently. Every detail of our stay was considered by the kind and friendly hosts, Annabelle and Kathryn: our beautifully and generously appointed room and shared spaces, delicious and interesting breakfasts and late-night snacks, helpful tips and recommendations for the area, easy parking and access to the village of Qualicum, and the list goes on. The breakfast table conversations, well supported by the hosts, were an inspiring and gratifying start to each day.

Cornerstones ticks all the boxes for a perfect B&B. The house is spotless, the rooms spacious and comfortably furnished. Breakfast is a convivial experience with the other guests and the hosts. Menu choices are offered for each course and the food is delicious. In supplying the rooms and common area, they have anticipated a guest’s every need, including a generous supply of snacks and beverages in the room. 
\nWe stayed in the Sunrise Suite and the soaking tub was heaven! The owners live on site and do their own cooking, cleaning and gardening which enables them to maintain their high standards. Annabelle and Kathryn obviously enjoy hosting guests. They are fonts of information about the island and happy to provide restaurant and sightseeing tips. Advice about a road closure saved us some frustration. 
\nTo sum things up, you couldn’t ask for a better place to stay.

I have not stayed in a real BNB in many years. Have become very accustomed to not having to see or talk to hosts. So was a tad trepidatious. However, the experience was lovely. The house was gorgeous. The suite large and comfortable, with many extra touches. The owners were lovely - friendly and knowledgeable - but not overbearing. Plus they had 2 adorable pups! The breakfasts were seriously amazing. We were given choices - all great- and options were amazing. Bed was so comfortable, large tub, nice shower - absolutely no complaints. Will definitely return.
