Charming island retreat with all amenities needed, clean, spacious with helpful staff. On site pub and restaurant, live music, great views. Definitely recommend.
Older building, so it's well maintained. Very nice views and comfortable accommodations. Spacious balcony that overlooked the grounds and has a view of the dock. Restaurant was fair and wait staff was very nice. A very comfortable stay. Great parking and walking distance to the grocery store and legion. Would stay here again!
The Harriott Bay Inn is charming, having retained its historical character. Inn's with the HBI character are being razed and replaced with condo mostrosities.

Very quaint little place with tons of history! Rooms are very small but all you really need when you are there to explore the island anyway. Only real issue we had was a lack of sound proofing between the rooms- and could be very hot if it was sunny as there is no AC and the window isn't screened. Fish and chips at the pub was great!
Front desk people were so helpful and nice. There arent fridges in the rooms but the lady at the front desk offered us her own cooler so our food didnt go bad. Lovely property, very charming with gorgeous views and good food. The building is old, the pipes/plumbing have some minor issues--but it's very clean and well kept. Cozy, rustic charm that makes it the perfect rest stop after a long day of exploring the island.
Very friendly staff always willing to help and go out of their way to do so. Great location by the Cortes ferry and right by the beach. Bit noisy as could hear all neighbours and the allowance of dogs in the room across the hall barking. Would have been nice to have a fridge and microwave in hallway where kettle and coffee maker is. Would stay again
I absolutely loved this little place. The building has tons of old charm. The rooms were super clean and the beds were comfortable. The staff was great to deal with from start to finish and the restaurant was cute. I would imagine it’s even better here when they have the large patio open in the summer.
When I say the building had charm, it looked like the original slightly slanted floors, windows (maybe) and door locks. It was all awesome.
I will be staying here again when I go back.
Great location; very friendly folks working in pub, at the front desk & in the restaurant; very good meal in the restaurant; good chowder in the pub; building was nice & quiet after 11pm; bed was very comfy & bedding was good quality.

An older property with simple rooms, great local colour, and gorgeous location.
We stayed in one of the three cabins behind the inn. Our cabin was larger than expected, and had a full kitchen with dishes, cutlery, coffee maker...all the important stuff. Pub downstairs was cool, and the crazy view from the kitchen tanle made my morning coffee worthwhile. Loved it there and will be rebooking.
I loved the charm of this old building and how well restored it is The staff are super friendly and helpful A nice place for a restful break from the busy world
Historic Inn in a beautiful location. No TV or modern type amenities might bother some, but made for a very peaceful two evenings . Rooms are smaller due to age of the building but had a small private veranda . Brian at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. Enjoyed staying here.
It is a lovely heritage building ideally located on the cove with great views to Heriot island.
However the room was very disappointing. Not the same as photos … no window in room, and poor cleanliness / state of repair.
