Most beautiful house in the most beautiful city in the country. Hurts to leave. Mike and Steph, Feb 2008

The Dashwood Manor was one of the highlights of our stay in Victoria. We chose it because of the internet pics and descriptions and we weren’t disappointed! The view from the Camelot Room was spectacular, as were the gourmet breakfasts. We really appreciated your hospitality and attention to detail. Thanks and keep up the good work!  Pablo and Alicia, Oct. 2007
