My husband and son had stayed at The Old Nurses Residence 12 years ago when they visited Fernie on a ski trip and my husband wanted to return as they had really enjoyed Patrick and Jo Ann's hospitality. I was definitely not disappointed, the 'Buttercup' room was gorgeous, the residence was superbly decorated and the breakfast was sumptuous. Our hosts... More

Well appointed and a typically very comfortable guest house.... Check out the size of the bath rooms, before signing. The location is wonderful, two block walk to the picnic restaurant.

We felt compelled to post a review of this B&B after reading the other negative review and then staying at the B&B ourselves. We stayed at the Old Nurses for 2 nights in January and chose it for its central location and good price. Due to circumstances beyond our control we arrived 3 hours late (near midnight) on the Friday... More
