The Inn at Spences Bridge

Spences Bridge, British Columbia.

A beautiful country inn on the scenic Thompson River, offering B&B. Comfortable lodging & fine vegetarian dining in BC's oldest operating hotel, just 3.5 hrs NE of Vancouver through the Fraser Canyon.

Bed and Breakfast Description

Built in the 1860’s, The Inn at Spences Bridge (formerly The Garuda Inn, the Steelhead Inn, the Spences Bridge Hotel and the Hermitage Hotel) was built as a relaxing stopover for weary travelers. Continuing the tradition, The Inn offers 12 renovated and uniquely decorated guest rooms. All rooms are one of a kind and decorated to enhance the quality of your stay. Many have private baths, spectacular views of the river, the valley and the railways, and two have private balconies. All are surprisingly affordable and rates include a continental breakfast featuring our homemade muffins and seasonal fruit. Weekly rates are available for guests who wish to linger a bit longer...

The restaurant is open daily for lunch and dinner. Breakfast is reserved for our overnight guests. The lunch and dinner menus feature specialties from around the world. And there is a continuously changing assortment of pastries and baked goods for dessert or a yummy snack.

The inn is a smoke-free environment. For those who might still indulge the habit, the front walk, the concrete area of the patio and the parking areas can be used. While we have one guest room in which we allow pets, the rest of the inn is a ‘no pets’ area, which applies to both the inn and restaurant. Your pets can be leashed in our side yard while you are eating on the patio. Owners of pets staying with us must agree to abide by our pet rules and regulations. Please contact us for details.
