Escape B&B

Sointula

My wife and I stayed in Room 1 for 2 nights after flying into Port Hardy from a fishing lodge on Baker Island.  The home is very close to the Port Hardy airport so a 10-15 drive into Port Hardy.  When we were there the home was up for sale as Alfons and his wife are planning to move into town so not sure how much longer it will be a B&B.

The whole place was immaculate and our room was very spacious with a comfy queen bed, flat screen TV, large bathroom, closet, easy chair, small fridge, etc.  The free wifi worked fine for us.  The front door to the house has a cypher lock and you get the combo to get in and out - worked great and easier than a key.

You can pick the time you want breakfast, which is served in the common area downstairs which has a kitchen and dining area (the owners live upstairs).  The breakfast area had a buffet type set up with cereal, yogurt, fruit, cheeses, etc and then Alfons cooks up crepes, eggs, sausage, etc.  There was plenty of food and it was all excellent.

There are several places to eat dinner in town and that is about 10-15 minutes away by car.  It is also nice and quiet at the B&B since it is out of Port Hardy itself, and very close to the Port Hardy airport if you happen to be using that.

We would highly recommend this B&B as long as the current owners are running it.

Very comfortable accomodation & great breakfast!

After experiencing less than accommodating B&Bs in the United States, I was hesitant about trying one in Canada.  However, my time at the Escape B&B gave me a new perception of what a B&B should be.  Hosts Jane and Alfonse were friendly and welcoming, my room was comfortable, the bathroom was modern with touches of luxury.  Guests can relax in the large downstairs living area and patio.

When I discovered the gorgeous and diverse breakfast Alfonse had prepared for me the next morning, I was overwhelmed.  Fresh fruit, homemade crepes, Continental style cheese and ham, tomatoes in balsamic vinegar, American style sausage and bacon . . . All of it delicious.

This is my idea of the perfect B&B, and this solo traveler gives it 5 stars.

Unexpected Pleasures

My wife & I stayed with Alfons, Jane & Bianca at Escape B&B last month (Sept 2018).  The property is immaculate and very warm and comfortable.  Alfons breakfasts were superb and is knowledge of the local area and wildlife was invaluable.  He is also a talented photographer.  If we are ever in the Port Hardy area again we will definitely stay at Escape B&B.

the place was spotless ,the breakfast superb ,the hosts absolutely top class

After a rather strenuous journey, we were received very warmly and amicably by Jane. It was the beginning of two beautiful B&B days. Jane and her husband Alfons are almost perfect hosts. Our room, besides the bathroom and all the other things we could use, are wonderful! This hardware is joined by a real well-being software, which is the warm-hearted human interaction of the hosts with their guests, without being intrusive. The absolute highlight is that when Alfons celebrates breakfast, from the fine, hardly a wish remains open. In conclusion, the best B&B we ever had, no, what we were ever allowed to experience!

That's great.

Alfons and Jane are very good hosts. They are friendly, hospitable and make you feel at home.There house is located in a very quiet and nice part of Port Hardy. The rooms are spacious and decorated with taste. Speaking about taste.... the breakfast made by Alfons is great. During our three week trip in BC, this was the best B&B.
The B&B is within 10 minutes of the Ferry for the Inside Passage. In the other direction  it is 5 minutes to the Airport.

Excellent

Wonderful people, wonderful food, wonderful place.  Our first time on North Vancouver Island was made special by Jane and Alfonse.  They help your vacation experience along because they know everything about the area.

Outstanding!

We were guests for three nights and were very satisfied with our accommodation. The room was very large and clean. The hosts were extremely friendly and there is a kitchen with a free coffee machine for all the guests. The host makes the breakfast fresh every morning for each guest. All you have to do is specify the day before when you would like to have breakfast. And you notice that he enjoys offering everyone the breakfast that everyone wants to have. There are really many different things from hearty to crepes with blueberries and everything very delicious. I would book it right back when I come to Port Hardy again.

Top class

Super B&B. Giant room, good bed, clean and modern bathroom. Very quietly out the back. Alfons is an empathetic host, great breakfast magician, great photographer and super tipper. Wonderful starting point for ventures in the northern half of Vancouver Island. Highly recommended!

It's all right.

We had chosen this B&B as the starting point for a whale tour in Telegraph Cove. The B&B is a very good, beautiful modern room, unrivalled breakfast, very nice German-speaking host.
