Most beautiful house in the most beautiful city in the country. Hurts to leave. Mike and Steph, Feb 2008
Our family all stayed at this B&B so that we could be together for Thanksgiving. Our son, Darren had just moved to Vancouver and we thought we'd join him in Victoria for a holiday with family. Not only was the actual building attractive, but the hosts were so kind and gave us so much help in finding our way around. They even directed us to the most fabulous restaurant for our Thanksgiving dinner. Our rooms were gorgeous and our son said that that was the most comfortable bed he had ever slept in! The breakfast was also outstanding. We loved our stay and hope to be able to visit again someday.
