This was a very ordinary stay in what was listed as a 5 out of 5 B&B on HOTELS.com. The photos on the website were not indicative of the room we were provided. Also, we often prefer to stay in B&Bs because they offer something different from hotels, snacks with tea in the evening for example. This offered very little apart from a home cooked breakfast.
We were also disappointed on the lack of a clear sea view although the house was in an attractive area.
Overall, the room we stayed in was not worth the price that we paid and there are many better places to stay in the same area at a lower price per night.
Enjoyed our recent 3 night stay at the Laburnum cottage. The accommodations were quite comfortable and certainly quiet. The cottage itself is nicely decorated and the hosts were very gracious (I got too used to having breakfast delivered on time every morning!).
The most beautiful place I’ve ever stayed. Owners were very nice, kind and friendly. Breakfast was very delicious and healthy. Definitely will come back if visiting Victoria again.
We enjoyed our stay in the beautiful and cozy cottage. The breakfast was delicious and the accommodations were just what we needed to celebrate our 20th anniversary! Thank you!
This property was very beautiful! The couple running the B&B was lovely and very helpful. The property is also centrally located, you’re a quick drive to Sidney, the airport or the ferry terminal.
We changed our plans and made same day reservations at Belle Maison Auprès De La Mers and so glad we did. We stayed in the cottage which was adorable and had all the comforts of home including French Press coffee, books, games, Roku tv, peace and quiet. Communication was excellent. The host gave us a tour of the cottage and shared all the important things. Breakfast was delivered to us in the morning and it was excellent. This isn't a pastry left at your door, but a big made to order breakfast. We couldn't ask for a better host. The ferry was close and we ended up being able to board the ferry an hour earlier than our reservation. I definitely would stay again and strongly recommend.
This was a great stay. The care we felt from the hosts was first rate all the way. It was super clean and super comfortable bed. It felt so special being served a great breakfast every morning on the balcony overlooking the ocean. The location to the ferry can’t be beat as it it about 5 minutes drive. We can’t recommend it enough!
Had an amazing time, Great accommodations and Breakfast was great also, My wife really like the Coffee. Host were very helpful and provided brochures and advice on attractions in the area. We stayed in the 3rd floor, so had two flights of stairs but we did not mind that. Had access to an outside balcony which we enjoyed sitting outside and hearing the birds and looking at the nice view out to the bay. Landscape was also very nice. This is a great place to stay if you want to get away from the sound of traffic and just enjoy nature. Cleanliness of the place got an A++ from my wife and that is no easy feat.
Perfect 10
Accommodation, service, food and friendliness all add up to a great stay. It’s as simple as that.
We had a great stay and would not hesitate to stay again.
This property is beautiful inside and out. It overlooks the bay. It was very convenient to visiting the Butchart Gardens and darling town of Sydney. The home is decorated beautifully and you can enjoy the the lovely trees and flowers. Our hosts were very kind and served a delicious breakfast.
Just a perfect location for our island getaway; so close to the ferries and the lovely little town of Sidney! Extremely friendly and accomodating service! The view was so tranquil!!
