The hosts were very accommodating to our late arrival. They also provided an excellent breakfast in our room the next morning - my wife had a delicious omelette and I had the “Dutch Baby”, so good! We stayed in the Library Room, very comfy and cosy. Close to Victoria Airport. I highly recommend a night or romantic weekend here.

The suite was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked. The location was quiet with outdoorsy things to do nearby (beach, trails). The breakfast was excellent! The hosts went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and I will definitely return!
