The Living Show - a
popular TV
show,
May 2007
"I invited BayView B&B to be on our TV show, the
Living
Show,
because it is one of the most beautiful & most
romantic
B&Bs
in the whole city of Vancouver. Although it is
only
a
few minutes from the city centre, BayView B&B feels
like
a
small country estate. Set in the middle of a
beautiful
garden
with panoramic views of English Bay, Stanley
Park
and
the city lights, it is a very peaceful place. We
especially
like
the spacious BayView Suite with its great views
and
its
exquisite attention to details: a stunning fireplace
with
handpainted
tiles and an antique mantle; beautiful Nile
cotton
embroidered
sheets from Sferra Bros. of Italy & Terra
Nova
Linens
in Vancouver; elegant expensive Sanderson wallpaper
from
England
and Canadian art from BC and Quebec. BayView
B&B
is
truly a 5 star romantic getaway. You will love
it."

The absolute best in hospitality awaits you at BayView
B&B
in
West Vancouver. This all-suite inn in a classy, modern
home
has
exceptional English Gardens, sweeping water and city
views,
and
the peace and quiet of a residential neighborhood.
Hosts
Gwen
and Jim are gracious in the extreme, but never
intrusive.
Their
three suites are a great value at $135 to $250
CDN.
Besides
having all the accoutrements of a fine hotel (desk,
robes,
TV/VCR,
mini-fridge, reading/video library, private bath,
top-of-the-line
mattresses
and linens), each offers its own
private
sitting
room and a view of English Bay. You have room to
relax
and
everything you need to recharge your batteries when you
stay
at
BayView. Just a ten-minute drive from downtown, BayView is
even
closer
to the beach and great neighborhood shopping and
dining.
For
ski buffs, it's also a great jumping-off point for
Whistler.
And
did I mention the breakfasts? Absolute heaven. You
can't
beat
BayView B&B.

If you appreciate astounding views, old English Gardens
and
elegant
surroundings, head to the BayView B&B in a quiet
cul-de-sac
in
West Vancouver. Elaborate wall coverings and
bedding,
exquisite
furnishings and a fine selection of Canadian
art
makes
this B&B special. There are three suites with
private
baths
and sitting rooms; in each you can lie in bed and
see
Lion's
Gate Bridge backed by Stanley Park and the city. The
downstairs
suite
is large with a kitchen, queen-size sofa bed and
private
entrance.
A generous deck overlooks the luxuriant garden,
the
ocean
and the city. A four-course breakfast includes fresh
baking.
Close
to West Vancouver beaches, seawalk and shops, and a
15-minute
drive
to city centre.

If you're looking for quiet, BayView B&B's perch in
an
exclusive
residential neighborhood above West Vancouver is the
place.
A
spacious, neat home at the end of a little-travelled
cul-de-sac,
BayView
has a four room suite on the main floor and
two
three-room
suites upstairs. All offer nice views down to the
water
a
mile below, and the Lion's Gate Bridge beyond. Guests are
greeted
with
a plate of steaming fresh cookies. Despite its
bucolic
locale,
it's just 15 minutes from downtown
Vancouver.

warm
helpful hospitality.

of
a trendy area with upscale restaurants and shops. From
