This was our second visit Laurel and her husband. They were a great hostess. Their home was very clean and their breakfast was amazing. I would highly recommend them to my family and friends.

What a beautiful home and fantastic owners. Husband is a charmer. He made my day. Would highly recommend this spot. 5 stars is just not enough. My son and I were treated like royalty. Thank you Laurel. Adam and I will always remember our stay

Laurel's cottage is everything you could want in a B&B! A calm oasis with the most welcoming and kind hosts, a central location (very close to the beach and farmer's market!), delightful breakfasts, and a super clean environment. I can't wait to visit again...such a special place.

The owners were very friendly, warm and willing to share all the information they could. I and Laurel spent an hour talking about where I can go to visit. I am very satisfied with my experience, and I would stay there again. Just for your info a bathroom is shared for all rooms, although it is convenient and clean.

I stayed at Laurels a few weeks ago on my first night in Qualicum Beach. The accommodation is comfortable and clean, breakfast was great, and Laurel was lovely, welcoming, warm and friendly! She spent 45 minutes telling me about the area, and recommending places to visit. I highly recommend Laurel's Cottage!

We had crepes with icecream cooked by Laurel herself for breakfast! With homemade blackberry jam! Such a wonderful place. I so much enjoyed talking with Laurel about all things minor and major. Would definitely come again.

With the advent of Airbnb, I am not sure I have stayed at a traditional B&B in five years. It was, therefore, so nice to stay at a one again. Laurel and Real are fabulous hosts. Their Airbnb is right in-between the beach and downtown, so walking distance to both.
