Wetherly Inn has been the highlight of my stay on Salt Spring Island. It is a beautifully crafted, family run but very sophisticated luxury boutique hotel. Very secluded and romantic both the room and the gardens/pool etc., so much that the hotel is the best choice for romantic couples I believe. It gave me the chance to rest and take a refuge from the busy daily life as a solo traveler. Renting a car is necessary if you plan to take excursions during your stay and especially if you plan to dine in the evenings (no food is served except for the very delicious, healthy and home made breakfasts), but there is a very chic guest kitchen where you can prepare and have snacks. Especially if you plan to attend a wine- cheese tasting tour like I did, you can serve yourself (and maybe share with other guests :)) the delicious goat cheeses and wines of the island but please do not forget to go out in the garden and enjoy a glass of wine or two on the romantic pond/ at the fire pit ( hotel management even prepared plastic glasses for wine experiences in the garden and glass options for your room or elsewhere in the hotel, which is like a chalet). The fire places and the big bathtubs in the rooms are another romantic touch (which can make a solo traveler feel a bit lonely :)) but overall this boutique hotel deserves an award in many ways, a big congratulations to the owners; one of the best hotels of its kind in more than 25 countries and 70 plus cities I have been to around the globe.
