It’s a bit out of Duncan so it’s pretty quiet. The trade off is that there isn’t a restaurant anywhere near by. There is a view of the ocean so that’s nice. The units could use some sprucing up (old nail holes patched, maybe repainting and recaulking around the tub). but it served its purpose.

This place is the best kept secret in Cowichan bay. I've stayed 10 times! And I've always enjoyed my stays here!

The Wessex Inn offers affordable accommodation. The building and rooms are showing there age, but are clean and comfortable. The clerk was very friendly and welcoming. He gave us a bit of a room upgrade because there was one available. We had a good sleep. That’s what we were there for. We’ve stayed there before and will likely stay again.

Met our needs. Front desk was amazingly friendly and helpful. Very informative and told you everything you needed to know instead of asking lots of questions.

This place is old and beat up. Not sure how the ratings are so high. Will not stay here again.

Property sits on a nice piece of land, but that’s about it. Old, dirty, tired property it’s cheap for a reason!

When we checked in we were greeted with a smile. He was super friendly and he gave us a ton of suggestions of things to do and look at on the island. We appreciated it.
