It felt like a privilege to stay the night. The hosts made me feel like family, and the property was surrounded by beautiful gardens that provided a wonderful view. Situated on a quiet street but close to the ferry terminal made it very convenient and relaxing.

I loved how warm and welcoming the hosts are. The surrounding gardens are spectacular, while the views are amazing. The home's private and personalized atmosphere creates a perfect place to rest and relax in. Spacious with cozy nooks with lots of attention to details. A place one will look forward to returning to. So very lovely.

The owners and hosts, Ruthann & Ross, are the Best that we've ever had in all our travels. They built this beautiful house from the ground up, and are sharing their love of home, family, friendship, and all that Canada represents. We were so fortunate to share and experience the Island hospitality with them. We chose wisely, and it was a fabulous experience thanks to them.

My husband and I were celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary. The property is beautiful, the surroundings are peaceful. However, I feel it’s important to share my experience to help other travelers who are considering this property No compassion - I suffered a severely sprained ankle two days prior to my arrival at this B&B, requiring an air cast. There was no ground floor room available when I contacted the B&B. I appreciated their quick response & decided to try to make it work Multiple stairs are mentioned on their website. But I did not realize the difficulty of the narrow outdoor stairss with no handrail, the polished wood stairs inside and having to walk down the hall to use the bathroom. After one night we realized we couldn’t safely stay. I shared this with the hosts the next day. Little was said apart from their caution that nothing would be available in the area on a holiday weekend. We found a beautiful suite in Victoria costing another $1000 No value or privacy if you stay in the Seaview Room. Room is small with 14” TV, no mini fridge, no ensuite. The bathroom is passed by the hosts and other guests. Balcony is shared with other guests, hosts are always around. More like a stay with parents than an anniversary. Basic breakfast that while thoughtfully prepared is more like what you could make at home. Not the elevated style of other B&Bs. You may enjoy your stay if you book the guest house room and order an elevated breakfast in
