Was a great one night stay before we departed for a kayak trip. Comfortable and cozy, the towels were super fluffy and huge which was amazing. Lorrie welcomed us but also gave us space. She gave us a great breakfast in the morning and we enjoyed talking about traveling. Was a bit warm in the room though the fan really helped (and it was July during a particularly hot period so only so much you can do!). Thanks again!

Thank you for staying at Money Pennies. We apologize for the room being warm. We have a a/c but with the extreme heat it was unable to provide enough cool air on the second floor. We also apologize for the intrusion. It is unusual that we sit with the guests unless we are invited to join in on the conversation.

Best B&B ever! AMAZING!
Money Pennies is the epitome of a 5-Star B & B. Our hosts were beyond gracious, even from before we even got there & let them know we were going to be a tad bit late for check-in.. just from that phone call interaction, I knew we would be arriving for a pleasant & joyous experience. When we arrived, Lorrie showed us around, gave us everything we needed, & was very informative in her approach with how we could expect our stay to go. She asked us what we wanted for breakfast, specifically asked if there was any allergies, & made sure she was set up for any special request regarding what we ate in the morning. Oh ya, her & Wendy also have little dogs who are amazing, entertaining, & friendly, & they also added to our experience in such a positive manner. The place was in immaculate condition, our room was beautiful, had an ocean view & all the necessities, & the place is located in a accessible part of town. Of course, our breakfast was delicious. We had everything we needed there, truly. On top of all that, what I really liked the most: It was the camaraderie we had with Lorrie & Wendy. As a small business owner myself, I understand the importance of building a relationship with your customers & clients, and they were genuine, very friendly & accommodating - we felt very welcome & comfortable there. People like them make things in life so much better - I can't say enough. We stayed there 2 months ago & I regret not leaving this review earlier. THANK YOU so much! A must stay!

Delicious freshly cooked breakfast, lovely hosts, spacious room with ensuite bathroom. Everything was nice & clean. We were glad of the tea & coffee-making facilities and the (quiet) fridge. Lots of restaurants down the hill. Campbell River is a nice area with lots of great wildlife watching options.
