The hotel is located next to Lake Shanagan and has beautiful scenery. We checked in when it was snowing heavily, and the scenery was unique. The hotel is an Inn with average facilities and is relatively old. The service staff was very polite. Generally speaking, since it is an inn, there is no way to make higher requirements for the facilities.

The Wessex Hotel is a FABULOUS Hotel right on the OCEAN on Cowichan Bay, British Columbia. WONDERFUL ocean view from the private balcony seating. Two super comfortable queen beds. Full size television. Full size kitchen with appliances extremely clean and well taken care of. Modern bathroom. Fantastic customer service. Very friendly and accommodating which is greatly appreciated. Will definitely be coming here again.

Michael was friendly, efficient and very helpful getting us extra blankets. They had white fluffy towels and the kitchenette was great. It was quiet, warm and clean. The room was quite large with a balcony. It was a short stroll to the cafes and restaurants. The floor was wonky and the pillows were lumpy were the only negatives.

Incredibly friendly front desk staff and we were upgraded to a suite on arrival that was more than enough space and amenities for our overnight stay. My only minor complaint is that there is not much sound proofing so bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper! Very cute area.

Staff at check-in was exceptional and courteous. The room I stayed in was awesome, clean, current, updated, beautiful. Just what I needed after a long road-trip west. Really liked that there were laundry facilities on-site for guest use. Beautiful area, lovely views.

Lovely spot This is an older hotel, a little worn but well cared for, clean and safe. We stay in Cowichan once a year and this is our second stay and we will continue to make this our stay of choice when here. The service is excellent.
