Good location and parking. Tiny shower. Room full of lovely furniture but not well appointed. Odd breakfast ; got the impression one wasn’t expected to go to the dining room for breakfast. In the hallway there were cereals and milk and juice. In the bedroom were some sort of breakfast bars, a couple muffins, tea & coffee. The only fruit were 2 mandarins. Plates etc were in the bedroom so we sat there for breakfast. Felt like the owners didn’t want to actually meet any of their guests. Definitely not the “ 5 star” B& B vibe anticipated.

The Beacon Inn continues to be our favourite place to stay whenever we visit Sidney & Victoria. It is beautifully decorated with antiques and tasteful Victorian decor. It’s on a quiet street that is close to the main Beacon Ave & the ocean walkway. The light breakfast that is provided in one’s room may also be supplemented by other treats in the lounge. The main level sitting & tea areas are also a bonus & the late afternoon complimentary sherry is a nice treat. The staff have limited hours & are always friendly and helpful. It’s also nice to have the keypad front door lock to come & go at any time.

Good location, close to downtown Sidney. Everything is within walking distance. Great Chinese restaurant across the street. Our room (Saturna) was a bit cramped and had the most uncomfortable bed.

Beacon Inn is very conveniently located within walking distance of downtown Sydney and the wharf. The building is attractive and has character. Room included a fireplace, 4-poster bed and oversized tub. Only suggestion is that the breakfast included be served in the very nice downstairs sitting room rather than in room. Adding a European style coffee machine would be amazing too.
