Circa 1912. Set against a magical forest on 50 acres, this English manor house boasts gables, multi-paned windows and a steep red roof. It was built for a member of the Wedgwood china family. Favorite spots include the library, veranda and parlor. Breakfast is served fireside in the dining room and often features just-picked berries with whipped cream, freshly baked scones and Eggs Wedgwood (poached eggs over Black Forest ham over English muffins with an herb sauce from the inn's gardens). The innkeeper is a botanist and is a resource for the area's birds and wildlife. Wedgwood's park-like grounds include flower beds, wildflowers, a streams, ponds and a fountain. Across the road is the Kokanee springs Golf Resort.

The inn keepers were ornery and down right rude! We felt very unwelcome and uncomfortable the entire stay because of the inn keepers lack of manners.

We drove up from Southern Alberta on a whim for something a little out of the way. The picture is still etched in my mind as we drove up in awe ! Well all I can say is " what a wonderful experience" The amazing heritage home fully decorated with just the most grand yard. Reminded me of old English style just amazing. Most peaceful and calm, serene atmosphere one could ask for. Hosts were just awesome and breakfasts were grand. There was so much to see and do in the area that every day was too short. Yes one day we will return...it is a memory you will never ever forget. You must go and stay. My daughter was very young when we stayed and she has never forgotten how beautiful the stay was..she still tells me about the yard.

Picturesque

Picturesque, I don't know if that's how you say it, but it's the most beautiful setting you'll find. Looking out the windows at the snow capped Kokanee Glazier, with Deer eating out on the lawn. A beautiful Heritage Home, with so much History, and what a stay! Hospitality at its best. If you want the best stay ever, you'll want to stay here. For a romantic get away, or just a quite retreat, it a must stay! Will be staying here, every year now that we found this place. I've heard about this place for years, well born and raised in the Creston Valley, but never stayed here before. This is the place to be. Thanks again for all the Delicious meals. Not Just your ordinary B/B You can have all your meals right here. Your well taken care of. Very Very satisfied.

Lovely Stay

Sharon Summers

Some friends and I stayed there a couple years in a row now. Andre was waiting at the door with a bottle of wine; (wonderful wine & cheese snacks!). Great variety of food prepared like the best chef. I have food allergies but no problem; Nancy was very caring and looked after me with such lovely fare! Charming Victorian rooms with a very well stocked library for a meeting place, a special place before the fireplace to sip your wine, coffee or tea and read or visit. Each time we stay we love it more. Very good service and charming hosts. We will be there again next year!

Enchantingly Romantic Get-Away!

Wedgwood Manor Country Inn

Monica Hiatt

Year after year the magic of the Wedgwood Manor Country Inn bring us back. The minute we turn into the lane that leads us up to the Manor time shifts into slow gear. The gorgeous grounds and gardens are a refreshing welcome. The beautiful Inn is full of enchanting spaces that fans the romantic heart. Nancy and Andre are superlative hosts who have traveled the globe and know how to make a Bed and Breakfast not just special but exceptional. There is so much to do; Hot Springs, World class golf, artisan shops, gourmet restaurants - or not to do; curl up in the Wedgwood library with the acres of books waiting for you, set up on the covered porch and watch the sun set over the Kokanee Glacier while nibbling on some delectable goody that Nancy had brings with tea or wine or coffee, or hide-away in your cozy room full of historic charm and tasteful decor. Not to mention waking up every morning to a gourmet breakfast. It's almost too good to be true. But it is true and that is why we come back every year.

Time spent at Wedgewood Mamor is always a magical experience. The beauty and tranquility of the manor provides a perfect respite from the day to day demands. I have visited the manor many times in the past and have never been disappointed. My visit this Easter weekend was no exception. Andre and Nancy are wonderful hosts, providing a warm elegant environment where relaxation is easily attained. What a treasure!

The host and hostess of this inn were horribly rude, grumpy and unfriendly. Their rudeness ruined our vacation! After staying at this place I found out from reading other reviews on other web sites that many people have had similar experiences at this place. Boy I wish I had read those reviews before I made my booking.

We returned for our annual spring weekend at the Manor and were treated wonderfully by Nancy and Andre as always... the Ambrosia room is so comfortable and quiet, breakfast time truly a treat, refreshments and snacks in the evening by the fire...

I spent 4 nights at Wedgwood Manor. My room was facing the garden with the trinkling sound of a small water fall, creek and pond. It is a warm, friendly atmosphere. Very professional. Scrumptious breakfasts made with a loving touch. Wine with cheese, crackers and fruit were served late afternoon on the balcony. There is a historic walk with little sign posts. The beach is close by. This place is a MUST if you are looking for a place to stay in the area. I give the Wedgwood Manor the highest recommendation. D.

A perfect romantic get-away! We live in Kimberley only 2 hours away.... but this seems worlds away when we are at Wedgewood Manor. The rooms are perfect, breakfasts superb, and the grounds enticing. You must stay more than one night to properly feel "Kootenay Time". This was our second visit (for an anniversary celebration), and we'll be back!

Ok this house is beautiful but all of its lovelyness could never make up for the lack of hospitality you will find here. The former new yorkers that own and run this bed and breakfast are horribly rude and extremely unfriendly. I have never experienced such crabby, bitter, cranky, owners in all of my many stays at bed and breakfasts. From the moment we walked in the door the owner snarled at us because we arived slightly earlier than she had expected. However she nearly bit our heads off when we had to ask how to work the antique faucet in our room. she yelled " don't ever touch the middle faucet. This is an antique faucet! , never touch the middle handle!". There were no directions listed anywhere for the odd 3 faucet sink which is why we had to ask. In the morning they served a rubarb crumble that i didn't eat every bite of. As we left the dinning room she yelled to her husband "boy we sure wasted the rubarb on them" and to make sure we heard she yelled it a second time..." Boy we sure wasted the rubarb on them ! " when we had first opened the door to our room we found an enormous bumblebee waiting for us. They had not suppled a fly swatter in the room so I asked the owner if she could come and take care of it for us and she snapped...." thats what husbands are for" she spent about 1 minute looking for it and said "well it must be gone" so she left. well, In the middle of the night my husband and I were awakened by a B 52 bomber flying above our heads so my husband grabbed a book and.....well lets just say we left her a nice gift. If you want an enjoyable, relaxing stay....go someplace else.

Management Response
Life is good at the Manor! Dear Jenny; We offer our most sincere apologies for your unpleasant stay at our B&B. This is, however, the only complaint we've received this year. We have had numerous warm compliments on both our facilities and service, which bring guests back year after year. I hope you'll give us a second chance. Please contact us, identifying yourself as the complainant and we will give you a free night. Let me address your concerns one by one. Your early arrival: In our confirmation email, and in a sign at the entrance, we ask all guests to check in no earlier than 3pm, as that gives us time to clean up after breakfast, remake the rooms, do laundry, have lunch and - if we're lucky - have a rest. We value this time. That still doesn't make it okay for me to remonstrate with anyone, and I do apologize. The explanation of the strange faucet: because it is a strange antique (100 years old!), we explain it to every guest in that room. If the center tap is turned, it turns off all the water to the sink. I don't understand why you took my explanation amiss. The rhubarb crumble - I realize that not every guest enjoys or finishes every breakfast item; that is why we ask every guest to fill out a breakfast preference form, so we can tailor meals to their needs and tastes. Bee in the room - Because of the history and age of the manor, we have not been able to fit screens to the windows. And, because of our rural location, we do get bugs wandering through. My response ("That's what husbands are for") was my attempt at humour. With warmest regards, Andre & Nancy, Innkeepers
