The hosts Rich and Jolynn are fabulous, I really enjoyed my stay.

A short, but perfect getaway.

Wonderful hosts, beautiful property, gorgeous home......close enough to the city, but a country paradise.

Quiet, calm, peaceful, and tranquil..........perfect!

Will definitely be making a return visit when travelling on Vancouver Island.

I was recently in Nanaimo to take a course and decided to stay at the Pepper Muffin Country Inn B&B.......What a fantastic choice it was!!! I knew immediately as I spoke to Jolynn the first time I called, that it was the place for me! She is just meant for the business and makes you feel like a guest in her home. She gave me more hints and info about the course I was going to be taking, than I had received with my registration package. When I finally spoke to Rich on the phone,
before arriving, he was just as warm and kind as Jolynn!!! They are absolutely fantastic people!!! They had even offered to shuttle me around a bit while I was there, as I didn't have a car. They also knew
that I would meet someone else taking the course, whom would be staying somewhere nearby, and would have a car and we could carpool. They were 100% correct....but until this time they actually drove another guest and myself around a bit!!!! That is service!!!!!!!! Jolynn and Rich just could not do enough for you. The breakfasts were delicious and VERY filling!!!!! We compared them with guests from other B&B's and everyone agreed that we were being fed extremely well....and did I say DELICIOUS!!!??!! The rooms were very spacious, with private bathroom, sitting area with a TV you could view from the comfy chair or the very comfy bed. If you appreciate cleanliness....
you have found your dream......this place is the cleanest lodging I have stayed in!! And I always examine that!

There was another guest staying there at the same time as me, and also taking the same course as me. This ended up being a real treat as we got along very well and have kept in contact since leaving Nanaimo. We visited for hours every night and enjoyed the hot tub just
out back. It was also kept very well. And we sure enjoyed it after long tiring days in our course. Jolynn and Rich had snacks out most nights when we came in for the night......such a nice touch!!!!! There
was also bottled water and a chocolate by the bedside every evening. The area is soooo quiet and peaceful. I will definitely stay there again (if they are available!) when I return!!!!! Thank you sooooo much for taking us in and making us feel like your personal guests Jolynn and Rich. I could not have imagined such a draining week anywhere else!!!!!!

The Pepper Muffin Inn is located reasonably close to the centre of the city (if you are driving) yet in a valley that is peaceful and quiet. After long days of teaching my return to the Inn was truly a home away from home. My room was spacious with good windows and very clean! A wee suggestion would be a desk for my laptop and papers. The highlight for me was the serene hot tub that is covered but open enough on the sides to watch the moon or the stars late at night. The host and hostess were friendly and good cooks too! I can easily recommend this B&B to either a business person or for a couple looking for a retreat!
