Snug Harbour Inn

Snug Harbour Inn (SHI) is a special place. So much is perfect about it. The co-owners, Marc & Jessica, are the consummate hosts; the location of the inn is magnificent, perched as it is on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, while nestled in old growth forests, & within easy walking distance to wondrous nature trails, as well as local beaches. Indeed Snug Harbour Inn has its very own private beach with a magical stairway down to it. Guests have access to this facility & most are eager to take advantage of this privilege, many lighting a fire, watching the sun set or rise, sitting on logs washed up on the beach, most certainly sipping or nibbling, while doing so. It is also easy walking distance from the ocean village & the pubs & restaurants of which there are a good few serving good food. As well this ocean village of Ucluelet has its own brewery, which crafts delicous brews. SHI has six well appointed suites, four of them in the main building, & two in separate units in the forest. Guests get a full breakfast, which is varied & delicious, & which can be eaten in one’s room or at a communal dinning table. There is a sauna & hot tube out looking over the ocean. It is adult only, so as to offer a place of peaceful & romantic respite. It has bicycles one can use free of charge, as well as paddle boats. It also has a great set of powerful binoculars to view the wild life that populates the sky & the ocean. Yes, indeed a very special place is Snug Harbour Inn. I recommend it without hesitation.

We had high hopes for our 4 night stay and these were fulfilled and some. Everything about the Inn is top class, and we felt very much at home due to the warmth and kindness of the hosts. We would always choose to return if we visited Ucluelet again. The facilities are excellent and the breakfasts are delightful and varied.

Wishing we could have booked for more than two nights but we booked 10 days before arrival, and we were lucky to get the two nights that we did! Looks like the innkeepers may have changed since last year, but Jori (sp?) and his wife were fantastic. Jori is extremely knowledgeable on the area and things to do – we really appreciated his input on hikes, and he had great suggestions. The Inn is perfectly maintained with great beds and views – looks just like the photographs. It is located in a great neighborhood, and we walked to town as needed. My husband saw the neighborhood bear, but I did not ☹

Very cheerful and friendly hosts greeted us on our arrival. This place has great views from the bedrooms. A good sized, well equipped room with table and chairs near the window and a good bed. The glass fire between bedroom and bathroom gives great view of the toilet. The hand basin for bathroom is in the bedroom, which is a bit strange. Breakfast is same for everyone, delivered in wooden boxes to the main reception area, first day some sort of kale salad with an oil and vinegar dressing and poached egg in middle, not to our liking at all. Second day breakfast was an excellent, poached egg, cooked perfectly, with two slices of white toast and some delicious jam delivered to our room. Private deck means you have the sole use of, not that it is private, most of ours could be seen by other guests. We couldn’t make the log effect gas fire in room work even when we turned the thermostat up

This is a luxurious place to stay, with massive, comfortable beds and glorious sea views. Breakfasts are culinary masterpieces, which you can either have in your room or in the living room with others. Sue and Scott are friendly and helpful hosts.

Just a fabulous experience. The rooms were spacious and the food was absolutely delicious! Used the sauna and hot tub daily. It was an extremely relaxing experience! My room had an ocean front view - sound of the waves at night was great. (didn’t use the bikes or paddle boards - but we could have). Our hosts - Sue and Scott- provided everything we needed - a pleasure to talk with them. Highly recommend Snug Harbour.
