15 Cozy Canadian B&Bs That Will Help You Recharge

If you want a mix of city and nature, this top-ranked Vancouver bed and breakfast is the answer. Built in 1906, the destination has a more modern design than typical B&Bs: its colourful interior (think funky artwork and ultra-bright furnishings) and unmistakable vibrant pink and grey exterior make it feel fresh and unforgettable.

Aside from being charming and historic (the mansion was built in 1912), this B&B is perfectly situated in Old Victoria’s Rockland area, meaning you’re just a short distance from many of the city’s best attractions. Did we mention that breakfast is worth every penny? Try the cranberry-orange scones along with the crab & asparagus quiche (a local fave).

You might forget you’re at a bed and breakfast in this natural cabin setting (check out that luxe bathroom and bathtub!). But don’t be deceived – you’ll get the same top-notch accommodations and friendly service that you’d expect from any first-rate B&B.

This Victorian heritage home has been winning awards for years (enough said). It may be just minutes from downtown Winnipeg, but you’ll feel like you’re tucked away in a dreamy oasis thanks to the lush gardens and huge pool.

Located in the centre of Prince Edward County (Toronto’s new favourite city escape), Angeline’s Inn has been a bed and breakfast mainstay. Choose from lofts, cabins and rooms in the original house, all uniquely and rustically designed by inn-keeper Alexandre (whose design flair is influenced by his time spent studying in both Florence and Toronto).

With the plethora of B&Bs in the charming town of Niagara-on-the-Lake, you can’t go wrong with the historical Davy House. Expect to find uniquely designed rooms with a cozy English countryside vibe. Freshly baked pastries will also help you through a day of sight-seeing and wine tasting in town.

Clyde Hall will make you think you’re in the English countryside rather than rural Ontario. The spectacular manor backs onto the third fairway of the Timber Run Golf Course and houses three elegant suites. Be sure to take advantage of the gorgeous outdoor pool, too.

This Victorian row house from the late 1800s has been renovated with modern touches, save for the sky-high ceilings, original brick and pine floors. Another intriguing selling point? Its location. In the heart of Montreal, you’ll be nearby Old Montreal, the Latin Quarter, the Old Port and Chinatown.

Located in the heart of Old Quebec, this breezy B&B boasts a charming coastal design inspired by the city’s scenic Old Port. It’s also nearby the waterfront as well as Château Frontenac, a historic hotel landmark.

Romantic St. Andrews by-the-Sea calls for a dreamy getaway, and The Garden Gate’s “Sunshine Room” (pictured here) fits the bill. The Edwardian building also has a historic backstory: it’s located on the estate of Sir Leonard Tilley, a Father of Confederation. Not to mention, the tranquil atmosphere and charming front porch will have you sipping your morning coffee a little slower than usual.

Picturesque Wolfville in Nova Scotia’s famed Annapolis Valley is known as a sleepy town brimming with B&Bs. But the one that caught our eye is The Queen Anne Inn. This 1865 heritage property comes recommended by the likes of Fodor’s and Frommer’s, and the rooms are just as character-filled as they are elegant (we’d opt for one with a four-poster bed!). An added bonus: it’s a short distance from Fort Anne, Kejimkujik National Park and the Bay of Fundy.

If a road trip around Cape Breton’s famed Cabot Trail is in your future, we recommend driving extra slowly to take it all in. And when it comes time to stop, rest and refuel? Book a stay at this tranquil B&B. Nestled within a beautiful forested area along the trail, it will feel like a home away from home.

Booking one of the five rooms at this family-run B&B means you’ll not only get to luxuriate in a cozy setting (like this traditionally-clad suite) – you’ll also be treated to a delicious Newfoundland breakfast before taking in the incredible views of the harbour.

With just eight rooms thoughtfully outfitted with antique furnishings and handmade quilts, it’s no wonder this heritage locale (built in 1889) became PEI’s first five-star Victorian B&B. Another reason why it’s garnered such praise? The gourmet breakfast served in a candlelit dining room. The dishes also change daily (from lemon ricotta pancakes with raspberry maple syrup to a sun-dried tomato pesto omelette).

Quaint doesn’t even begin to describe this bed and breakfast on Prince Edward Island. Get in touch with all that Charlottetown has to offer, but also be sure to reserve a few hours to relax in this ultra-cozy setting.
