About Us

History

The Historic Heriot Bay InnThe Heriot Bay Inn was established in about 1895 by Hosea Arminis Bull. This building burned down and was subsequently rebuilt in 1912. In addition to its 19 sleeping rooms, the newly built hotel boasted a large office where travelers gathered around the fireplace to socialize and tell stories, an upstairs dance hall, and an aviary of rare canaries.

Mr. Hosea Bull sold the Inn in 1926, two years after his wife's passing. It changed hands again in 1943, and was renovated by these new owners. Renovations have continued to update the Inn; the sleeping rooms all received their own bathrooms in 1986.

2005 marked the launch of a major renovation & additions project under the direction of new owner Lorraine Wright. This major project included a new harbour view patio, cozy fireside lounge, enlarged and finished dining room, adventure centre office, upgraded marina, and all the rooms redone with new beds, mattresses, down duvets, pillows, bedding, furniture & paint, plus new gardens, and other landscaping renovations!

The new Heriot Bay Inn has become the jewel of Heriot Bay, as Islanders and vacationers alike enjoy the fabulous view, sumptuous surroundings and delicious Pacific Northwest cuisine.

Today, you'll still find much of the original historic 1912 structure... The warm wood panelling and single pane windows found in the office & lounge are a few of the historic clues. The main wing of Mr. Hosea Bull's original Inn is now the lounge, office and lobby. The wing with the gift shop was turned 90 degrees in 1943 and attached to the main wing, creating an L-shaped structure.

The Inn's historic roots blend beautifully with the new additions, showcasing the best of both!
