Heriot Bay Inn
The Heriot Bay Inn is located in #REDIRECT Heriot Bay on #REDIRECT Quadra Island, British Columbia. The Heriot Bay Inn was established in 1895 by Hosea Arminius Bull. "It may not have been fancy, but Bull's hotel was large enough to host the non-Native residents' first dance in 1895, with Hosea sawing on his fiddle." Heriot Bay had become the main centre for the region by 1905. The Bulls were proud of the fact that Heriot Bay surpassed all the little tourist communities in the region, including the new tourist village of Campbell River. They had biweekly steamship connections to Vancouver by 1910, and 96 men were listed under Heriot Bay in the provincial directory. The Heriot Bay Inn was destroyed by fire in 1912, but it was quickly rebuilt. The new hotel included a dance hall, nineteen bedrooms, a large office where travelers gathered, a saloon and two dining rooms to separate the loggers from the tourists. In 2008 Community Custodial Concepts a Quadra Island business group purchased the Heriot Bay Inn. The Heriot Bay Inn currently has 10 rooms, three cabins, a campground, marina, dining room, pub, and gift store.
