Verified Reviews of Wessex Inn by The Sea

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:
"Very kind compassionate host"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
I made a huge mistake in my booking and our host was able to help me out with my mistake. He was very caring and helpful. I would stay again if given the chance, the room was standard and the linens and towels were so soft. Well stocked complimentary beverages and I haven't had grape crush in years. We were able to easily walk to everything Cowichan Bay has to offer. Cute little place. Thank you.
