We stayed at the The Bee & Thistle and it was delightful.  The home is beautiful, the rooms devine,  and Jody was so helpful and kind.   The restaurants all within walking distance were excellent.  A lovely part of Vancouver to experience and enjoy.  The York Theatre (The Cultch)  was walking distance away.   Jody mentioned the blooms of spring -we hope to get back.  Thank you for a wonderful stay. 

The York Theatre and our stay at the The Bee & Thistle

This place is just beautiful. My friends and I came to Vancouver for a wedding and we couldn't have been happier with the location and the design of the manor. I'm always a little wary of a hotel room because I am often weak and have a serious immune problem. But this place was CLEAN. I felt completely comfortable staying in the room when I needed to and the condition of the bathroom was spotless. It was so much more pleasant and personal. They also gave us a super yummy cookie and a tart. It was lovely. There are also a zillion different places to eat only a couple blocks away but it is still in a quiet area. We usually stay downtown but this was much better. 
I'd also like to say that I thought it was a good value. We like to travel but also are not able to pay hundreds and hundreds for a room. We got the smallest room that was the least expensive and it was great. It was so nice to stay in a really, really nice place and not a dingy hotel room.

Exceeded expectations

I would highly recommend the B&T! It is situated in a beautifully restored house within walking distance of all the amenities of Commercial Drive. I stayed in the Ivy room, having been graciously upgraded(!), which featured an in-room fireplace, a very comfortable king-size bed and an ensuite bathroom with radiant heated floor. The room is wonderful; although the fixtures have been upgraded, the fir trim, floors and windows are original and in wonderful condition. The view of the North Shore mountains is breathtaking. Jody, who received me upon arrival, was very nice and made several recommendations that really added to the quality of my visit. Highly recommend it!

The Bee and Thistle

The Bee & Thistle is a true gem, beautifully renovated and in a great neighbourhood.
I stayed in Joey's Retreat for almost 3 weeks - a very well appointed apartment on the ground floor with full kitchen and a laundry.  The apartment was immaculately clean and the bed linen so soft and luxurious - an incredibly comfy sleep.  Although breakfast isn't supplied any longer, the fridge is stocked with snacks, yoghurt, cream and tea and coffee is also supplied. Oh and also a home baked cookie every day.  These provisions are an extremely thoughtful touch.  Commercial Drive, which is just round the corner, has a great many restaurants, cafes, shops and supermarkets - everything you’ll ever need.  
It is just a 20 minute bus ride from Downtown, so very easy to get into the city and with a Compass Card provided by Jody it was made even easier.  Jody was very helpful from my first queries, to the booking and throughout my whole stay.  
I was visiting from Australia to take a couple of workshops close by and I had been planning this special trip for a long time.  Staying at the Bee & Thistle made it even more special and memorable.
When I come back (I’m now saving up again), I will definitely be staying here. 
Thanks Jody, Jack, Lynn & Michael. XX

Wonderful, amazing - can't wait to come back!

We had a lovely stay at the Bee & Thistle and were well looked after.  We’d traveled from London to Vancouver and after a 5 hour delayed arrived very late, in the pouring rain and during the early hours .... we were welcomed by a lovely welcome note on the door and to a beautiful warm room.  
We met our hosts next morning and we were made to feel very at home in our surroundings .... we were taking a cruise out of Vancouver and this was a perfect place to stay beforehand.
We highly recommended and hopefully will be returning.
Thank you for everything. 

Lovely stay, well looked after

I was visiting for a workshop in East Vancouver and had the good fortune to stay at Bee and Thistle. Beautifully renovated historical and property within walking distance to a myriad of small shops, grocery stores and restaurants! Lynn, Michael and Jody were wonderful hosts and very friendly and knowledgeable. The rooms were well appointed, comfortable, clean and private. I will definitely stay here again if I get back to Vancouver, and highly recommend Bee and Thistle.

Great Place to Stay, Highly Recommend

Just back from a wonderful 3 night stay at the Bee and Thistle. The last stop on on tour of Canada. Jody, Jack and the rest of the team were so welcoming and friendly. The rooms are spotlessly clean and all well equipped and very comfortable. Jody's home baked cookies are divine! The B&B is very well situated in the east of the city in a quiet leafy suburb but only 20 mins on bus back into the city centre (Jody - even sorted out our bus passes!)  Its a beautiful building and there is free parking outside the property. There is a huge choice(50+) of super restaurants only a 5-10  minute walk back down on "the drive". I cant recommend the Bee & Thistle highly enough. Thank you Jody and Jack.

Wonderful stay with fantastic hosts

We stayed at this lovely Guest House in September for 2 nights. Lynn and Michael made us feel right at home, Michael even helped us haul our luggage up to our room.  The Guest House is absolutely beautiful, they did a fantastic job renovating it.  We stayed in Florence’s Room, the bed was SO comfortable. It has a nicely stocked mini fridge with water, yogurts, snacks and milk for the coffee (or tea) also provided. Each day Lynn bakes fresh cookies for the room.  YUM! The location is close to numerous restaurants and coffee houses for you to try.  We highly recommend this Guest House for your next visit to Vancouver!  Oh, and they also arranged a taxi for us! Looking forward to a return trip!

Home Away from Home

I couldn't recommend the Bee & Thistle with any higher enthusiasm. Every single room (Jody kindly showed us them all for the next time we stay and there will definitely be a next time) was decorated beautifully. The linens were quality and crisp, the bathrooms were gorgeous, beautiful fireplaces in many rooms, and Jody's fresh baked cookies to die for!!! She specifically went out to buy milk for my coffee since I don't use cream and when I was walking down to meet my son for coffee in the morning, she made me a fresh cappuccino for the walk! The little shops and restaurants along Commercial Drive are great. If your destination is East Vancouver rather than a cold hotel room stay at the Bee and Thistle, you will be so happy you did! Thank you so much for making my stay so memorable!!!

Charm & Kindness

We had an amazing anniversary stay at the Bee and Thistle. We stayed in the Florence room and had such a calm and lovely experience. The location is perfect—less than a 10 minute walk to get any type of meal any time of day or night. We even walked to downtown and back! Jody and the staff were so warmly welcoming and accommodating, offerring amenities that were unexpected and greatly appreciated. It was so much nicer than staying in a hotel, it’s unbelievable that it is also much more affordable! We definitely plan to stay there again and can’t wait for our next opportunity.
