High Hopes Bed & Breakfast - Hope, British Columbia

Nous avons séjourné 1 nuit dans cette chambre d'hôtes. Nous étions 4 (2 adultes et 2 enfants).||La maison est jolie, moderne. La vue est belle. La chambre est très propre est sobrement aménagée.||Par contre, le contact avec les hôtes a été un peu difficile, peut-être parce que nous étions 4 et que visiblement, les lieux ne s'y prêtent pas forcément : nos filles ont couché dans une pièce contenant une petite fenêtre haute, et qui n'est pas une chambre. Il fallait laisser la SdB ouverte pour avoir de l'air.||Ensuite, et malgré les bouchons d'oreilles fournis, il ne faut vraiment pas être cardiaque au passage des nombreux trains surplombés par la maison. Ce sont des interminables trains de marchandises avec locomotive devant, et derrière.||Il est étonnant qu'un seul commentaire signale ce point très négatif...

Une superbe maison, sur les hauteurs de la ville, avec une vue imprenable sur les nombreuses montagnes environnantes. Un accueil très pro, et un breakfast copieux et bien présenté. 2 grandes chambres, à l'étage, avec salle de bains privatives, et un accès à une salle de lecture commune. Notre chambre (bear room) possède en outre un petit balcon privatif. Ventilateur dans la chambre, dont le bruit couvre celui des trains qui passent juste en dessous de la maison. Des bouchons d'oreille sont d'ailleurs fournis par la maison. Parking derrière la maison.|Hope est une petite ville, à l'environnement sympa, mais qui manque un peu d'animation.|En synthèse : en dehors des trains, seul vrai défaut, c'est parfait. Donc, 4/5.

Une maison d’hôtes accrochée à la montagne et qui domine Hope. ||Voiture indispensable.||Grande et belle maison très bien tenue. Belle salle de bain tout confort. ||Sympathique petit déjeuner avec vue magnifique sur la vallée.||Les longs trains de marchandises passent dans la vallée sous la maison et sont bruyants mais moins fréquents la nuit et ils ne nous ont pas empêché de dormir.

Oh dear. I chose High Hopes because of the wonderful terrace overlooking nature. Unmentioned was the very busy railway immediately below that terrace. About 50 freight trains per day run through Hope, BC, all of them directly below the Whistler Suite in High Hopes. Some are two and a half miles long. Ear plugs provided didn't help when trying to listen to the birds, or enjoy a peaceful read, or even just talk, since one must shout over the train noise to be heard.
Unfortunately the heating in our room was stuck permanently on for the first day, so with the door shut to block out the train noise (which helped, but didn't work) it was like sleeping in an oven as the air con fought with the underfloor.
We were severely disappointed to be locked out on the first night of our stay. Pauline had forgotten to give us a key, and didn't hear the doorbell. We thought no one was in. It was only about 10:00.
Some reviews praise the breakfast served. We found it barely edible. If you do stay at High Hopes, go for the "continental"; my cooked was hard eggs and cheap sausage.
We'd been on the road for 2 weeks when we stood at High Hopes, and all I can say that's positive is that the place made us glad to be going home.

More, In response to the reply:
Apologies do not compensate for locking us out. Your excuse about seeing our car is a bad one, since you gave me the name of the taxi we used!
As for not paying for the wine, the fact that you offer and sell home-brewed wine illegally to your customers, and require payment cash because of the illegality of this service, is your choice. The fact you didn't add the cost to bill, or ask for payment until now, is your problem. Did we enjoy it? It provided some relief from the stunning heat in our room, which would not have happened had you used a professional to replace the thermostat, rather than your handyman friend who clearly doesn't know what he's doing!
Finally, as a British, you should know that tea is made by pouring boiling water over the leaves. I DID change breakfasts - your records are wrong.

We stayed one night in the Whistler suite......awesome! Just what we needed after a weekend wedding whirlwind trip to BC. Bed was comfortable, bathtub was relaxing and spacious and the balcony fire table and view was fantastic. Pauline provided a lovely hot breakfast in the morning before our flight - providing lots of options. would gladly stay again. Thank you Pauline!

What a marvellous b&b - Pauline greeted us when we arrived and was absolutely lovely. The whole house is beauitful to behold - and the view is spectacular from the hill. I stayed in the honeymoon suite which was SO luxurious. If you want to feel like a queen - stay here!

So Beautiful! The house, the host, the views of snow peaked mountains and the river below all perfect. An amazing breakfast, private decks, in suite bathrooms I could go on. If you’re spending the night near Hope, treat yourself and stay here.
