Guest Reviews & Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were super clean and overlooked the beautiful gardens, which was nice, and the sofa bed was very comfortable. The only downside was that the room was on the small side, but it was beautifully done. The staff were super friendly and very helpful, making my experience even better. The location was perfect, in a beautiful neighborhood with lovely views and walking distance to eateries, galleries, and gardens. The dining experience was incredible, truly living up to their reputation. Overall, a great value for money.
Staying at Fairholme Manor Inn was a mixed experience. The rooms are very tastefully decorated and feature extremely comfortable beds, but they are quite tiny. The value for the price, however, was exceptional with rates much lower than expected. The service was top-notch, with the staff being wonderfully welcoming and knowledgeable. The location, while great for visiting attractions like Craigdarroch Castle and the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, is a bit of a hike to downtown. The dining experience had its highs and lows, with outstanding dishes but also some disappointments. Overall, the stay was a good value for money.
I had a delightful stay at this B&B. The room, although a bit small as it was the only available option, was the most spacious I've experienced in my travels. The view of the garden and sea was amazing. The service from everyone, including the owners Ross and Sylvie, was fabulous. The location in a quiet residential setting with easy access to the city was perfect. The dining experience, especially catering to dietary requirements, was exquisite.
The hotel is in a prime location within walking distance of downtown and the harbor area, surrounded by lovely scenery like roses, fruit trees, and expansive lawns. The rooms were spectacular, offering an amazing atmosphere with a beautiful bathtub, lounge chairs, and a cozy bed, despite some noise disturbances from other guests. The service was impeccable, with thoughtful touches like wine, fresh flowers, and massages from the perfect hosts. The dining experience was delightful, providing fresh, local products in a beautiful setting. The location can't be beat, especially for a tranquil getaway in the enchanting neighborhood of Rockland.
Staying at the Fairholme was an absolute delight. The rooms are beautifully decorated and close to Craigdorrach castle, with a lovely garden setting. The carefully crafted breakfasts are simply wonderful, making it one of the most beautiful B&B rooms I've ever seen. The service was exceptional, with hospitable hosts going out of their way to provide amazing breakfasts and local suggestions. The location is in a beautiful area of Victoria, full of adventure with interesting homes and gardens. The dining experience offered plenty of variety and homemade delights. The facilities are top-notch, ensuring a memorable stay.
My stay at the hotel was truly memorable. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, offering a cozy fireplace, balcony, and stunning views. The bed was huge, and the kitchen was well-equipped. The highlight was the jacuzzi tub and plush chez lounge in the enormous bathroom. The service was exceptional with down-to-earth and generous hosts. The location was perfect, nestled next to Government House with acres of beautiful grounds to explore, yet still close to restaurants and downtown Victoria. The dining experience was top-notch with sumptuous breakfasts offered by Sylvia. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at this hotel.
