I just got back from Victoria, BC a week ago and I can't stop telling people about this place! It…read morewas welcoming and cozy from the get go, and everyone was so right about the breakfasts! Vanessa, a professional cook and baker, made every meal with her loving care. I'm usually not a breakfast fan, but the homemade apple strudel, granola, scones, and omelets were too much to resist. If you want to feel like you're staying with friends while in Victoria, this is the place to go. Quaint decor, and great hospitality are what you'll find here. We loved their furry/feathered friends, Butler, their cat and two Moroccan Cockatoos, Chucky and Casper! Vanessa and Dean were great about being there when we needed them for info about activities or directions, and also great about not jeopardizing our privacy. We stayed in the lovely Lavender Room for 4 wonderful nights. We really enjoyed having the garden patio at our disposal since the nights were worth sitting out in. We lit some tea lights, and enjoyed some cold beverages by starlight. It is an older house, so there was no A/C and the room could get hot and stuffy during the day, but with the door or window cracked open a bit, and a small fan running, we always got a cool enough ocean breeze at night to keep us happy. There was a TV in the room with cable and a built in DVD player on the side. Down in the entrance in the Harry Potter computer nook we found the internet provided was fast and dependable. Since we are young and wild and had no idea when we would be coming or going at night we were relieved to find that you have your own key code so it wasn't an issue and we didn't disturb the hosts or any other guests. The B&B is within walking distance to many shops, Fisherman's Wharf, and downtown Victoria. Vanessa was an absolute doll and even packed a lunch for us since we had to catch our departing ferry at 6AM and would miss her phenomenal breakfast!! Another fun feature of the bed and breakfast is that they even have a couple friendly spirits in residence. I didn't experience them myself, but I love hearing ghost tales about old buildings. A thousand kudos to this lovely B&B! Our stay was worth every cent and more!

A 6 star establishment, regardless of what my final star rating may say…read more We stayed in the Lavender room (highly recommended) at $150 CA / night, for 3 nights and 3 AMAZING breakfasts was more or less the deal of the century, especially in the heinously expensive city of Victoria. Vanessa and Dale are amazing hosts and run the best B&B I have ever been to. The room was clean, quite, and beautiful, the bed was amazingly comfortable, and having a small TV with cable was a nice feature usually lacking in B&B's. Wireless Internet worked perfectly and was very handy. They also had a guest computer in the main area available for use 24/7. The hotel is in a great location if you don't mind a short (8 min) walk to the inner harbor. Parking was no problem, and it is in a VERY safe neighborhood, which was nice to walk in at any time of the day. Vanessa is an AMAZING chef, her breakfasts were perfectly prepared and seasoned, pray that you get a day where she is making Eggs Benedict, which was some of the best I have ever had. The omelets were incredible, and the home-made granola was a real treat! Have Vanessa hand draw you a map of a fun drive! We went to Sooke, which was not much of a town, but had a nice little beach on a man made breaker that was a good little get-away from the city. I cannot say how wonderful this accommodation made our trip, truly a stellar establishment. Thanks Vanessa!!!!!!

We had a great 3 night stay and do recommend Abigail's. Our stay was quiet, peaceful and…read moreenjoyable. Room 301B was very comfortable, roomy and well appointed. The breakfasts provided are not to be missed. The breakfast menu had something for everybody, and the quality of the food and service was outstanding. Even the afternoon appetizer was really good. The service at Abigail's is one of the main reasons we liked it, with the staff seeming willing to do just about anything to accommodate. Not a hotel for kids and pets, but if you like classy and old school, Abigail's is the place.

Abigail's Hotel is just so nice! Their extraordinary hospitality began with a phone call we made a…read morefew months before our trip (which was answered by a real and knowledgeable person). I wanted to gut-check our plan to take the ferry from Seattle, use Uber to get to their hotel (and could we please leave our luggage up front since we'd arrive before check in? - to which the answer was, "of course you can!"), and then use Uber all around town. The very pleasant woman I spoke with (those months before arriving) assured me that our plan should work splendidly, and they looked forward to having us. Upon arrival, we were greeted by two of the nicest front desk people, who took our luggage for storage, then found our room had indeed been cleaned as early as possible and was in fact ready for us for early check in immediately! The property itself is reminiscent of a period of taste and attention to detail that seldom exists any more. Our room was beautiful: spacious, with two separate bathroom sinks and a separate jetted tub and walk-in shower, plus a small sitting area and plenty of space! So nicely appointed with everything in its place, and everything working. The entire lobby and library/lounge area was also beautifully appointed, and so homey and inviting. And breakfast - included with the room - was elaborate and scrumptious. Each day features both sweet and savory options; for example, pancakes, or eggs and bacon. My wife and I got one of each and shared them. It was all delectable. And each day's menu, specially prepared and printed for that day, includes a weather forecast for the day - even with temperatures in both Celsius and Fahrenheit! We had such a wonderful stay that we hated to leave. We'd look forward to visiting Victoria again and would definitely choose Abigail's hotel again!!

Quite possibly the worst stay in my life. We were very excited about the stay due to all the…read morereviews and pics but very disappointed as soon as we enter the room. It was very old, not well maintained and above all not cleaned well. The sheets were old and had several hair as if they weren't washed from previous stay. What bothered me further is that the host Jeff was adamant about it and just won't listen to our request. It was a horrible experience and I wish I could have avoided this place as it simply ruined our experience.

I've only stayed at one other B&B and so I don't have many comparisons, but I really enjoyed my…read morestay. The neighbourhood was quiet but walkable to many attractions (about a mile to the ocean and downtown). Our room was huge and we had a balcony which we shared with the guests next door. For dinner, we bought bread, cheese and salami from the thrifty foods grocery about 1 km away and ate on the balcony. Breakfasts were unique - bibimbap on our last day. Friendly staff. I felt like I was staying at a family member's home.

Our room was larger than we expected, the balcony had a fabulous view, and the breakfasts were delicious.

Oh - can't forget the four kinds of tasty, homemade cookies available to guests every single day. Lots of welcoming touches to make our stay memorable.

The breakfast is sumptuous, and I must confess that I had way more than my share of the complimentary freshly baked cookies. The hosts David and Michael clearly pour a lot of love and care into every detail and it's easy to relax and feel right at home. The location is superb, close to downtown and trendy restaurants. Highly recommend a long stroll along the ocean and a cozy bath in the indulgent love tub. The interior decor takes you to another time and space. We would definitely come back to dashwood manor for our next Victoria trip. The whole experience was nothing short of magical!

I was so excited to stay here at Fairholme Manor given the positive reviews but I thought overall…read moreit was just okay. Let me start off by saying breakfast really was five stars. It was delicious and beautiful. A lot of love and effort is put into this. Sylvia's scones are phenomenal. If she opened up a bakery I would buy all her scones and loaves. The bathroom is a nice size with a big tub. So why the three stars? There is a radiator in the room but ours didn't work well and would heat up and did not stay hot. We were cold. If you are on the first floor please note that sound travels. you can really hear any movement above you and you can hear conversations very well outside your room which didn't make me feel particularly comfortable since I'm sure even just is talking normally can be heard by others as well. Didn't feel amazing from a privacy perspective. When you book it says there is daily housekeeping. There's no daily housekeeping. We were asked if anything was missing from our room by the breakfast server but nothing else. If you're expecting your trash to be emptied or bed to be made that did not happen our whole stay. Location: not really walkable to the downtown area or most things in Victoria. A couple other small things that I wouldn't even mention if the above two were no issue: The bed was okay although not super comfortable in my opinion. The outlets are really inconvenient and there aren't many. They mention there is tea, hot chocolate, and coffee. There's no hot chocolate and no creamer in your room if you want some later. I do think this place could be good for others but it was not the right fit for us. For a bed and breakfast the room just wasn't super comfortable for us to want to spend time there.

Sylvia is a gracious experienced host with great recommendations for dinner spots. We tried both Pennyfarthing and Pagliacci and were happy with the both choices. Pagliacci had a good live band. And to top it off a small herd of deer have made the neighborhood their home. It all added up to a great stay. We'll book Fairholme again for sure.

We are actually Victoria residents ourselves, living just a few blocks away in Fernwood. Our first stay was for our very short honeymoon, but the subsequent trips are just because we love the place so much!

A huge kudos to all of the Craigmyle staff. We will be back! You should try it.

I was so hesitant because I'm usually not your typical posh preppy person but I felt SO welcome and at home here! I slept the best I've ever slept at any hotel, they had amazing tea and an experience beyond any other, truly warm and wonderful staff and amazing food on the ground level. It's the only hotel that has a darker color makeup towel available right on the vanity extra stars for knowing we aren't all white towel white sheet kind of people! I felt so silly for assuming such a nice hotel would judge. They didn't judge one bit. I have to mention that Megan who was at the front desk at the early morning hours while I was wide awake was my favorite human ever. If you are hesitant for any reason to book here, don't hesitate in the future! I felt like any other guest and it was such a wonderful night. I should have stayed all of my nights here!

We particularly enjoyed sitting around the fireplace and eating dinner in the upstairs suite. The upstairs suite is HUGE and could fit a whole family all on its own. It doesn't come with breakfast though, so be forewarned! I stayed in the nautical room with a half bath and two twin beds. It was perfect for me and I slept well. I was a bit jealous of my co-worker in the quilt room because he had a jacuzzi! Unfortunately, the hostess Sandy was called away for an emergency, so we never got to meet her. She had a friend step in to help check us in and make us breakfast. She did a great job, especially on short notice. I actually would love to go back in the summer with my own family to explore the area and enjoy Sandy's hospitality all over again. The town itself was pretty much closed down since we visited in December. I bet it is more happening in the summer. Bring your own lunch and dinner foods or else your options will be limited to gas station food in the winter.

The overall atmosphere is very laid back and positive, in fact it is very easy to make friends with other guests as well. The view from the patio, where (weather permitting) Sandy serves her homemade from scratch breakfasts is nothing short of spectacular. You can eat your French Toast prepared by Sandy on the patio facing the Clallam River lazily flow into the Strait of Juan de Fuca or and watch the Bold Eagle being picked on by couple of crows. In the background you can see Vancouver mountains and fishing vessels and big cargo ships as well. Overall my experience was such as I was visiting an aunt for the summer. I will definitely be going back.

The rooms and en suite bathrooms are private, comfortable and modernized for a wonderful experience. Everything is super clean and the bed was comfortable. The communal dining room looks out onto an incredible view and expansive deck where you can have a delicious breakfast or a glass of wine while enjoying a well-deserved rest after a day of exploring. The owner is gracious and friendly while giving you space and privacy. The front yard is like a mini rainforest and the quiet property is located just minutes from Forks and a short drive from La Push, where great beaches can be found. There are lots of little special amenities like the boot dryer, which came in handy. I would highly recommend the Inn and would love to stay again when we hopefully return to explore more of Olympic National Park.
