Where to stay in Cloverdale
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
The Museum of Surrey sits in this town centre. A bed in Cloverdale puts that museum and Cloverdale United Church within the same compact grid, and the City of Langley is near enough that one room can serve both municipalities without a long drive each morning. Greater Vancouver lies further out.
Rooms cluster in the town centre, the built-up core of a district that began as farm country.

About Cloverdale
What are the main landmarks in Cloverdale?
Two buildings carry Cloverdale's record. The Museum of Surrey holds the collections of the wider city and gives this town centre a draw beyond its own streets, while Cloverdale United Church carries the district's name on its own frontage. Past those two, the record stops.

What is the history of Cloverdale?
A farm community was founded here in 1870. The site was chosen for its fertile land and its temperate climate, and the small settlement that resulted eventually amalgamated into Surrey, taking its place as one of the six town centres of that city. Surrey grew around it.
Cloverdale kept its name and its centre, and Cloverdale United Church and the Museum of Surrey stand on ground first broken for farmland.
Where is Cloverdale?
Langley begins just east. Cloverdale occupies its own quarter of Surrey, west of the City of Langley and inside the wider spread of Greater Vancouver.
