The homemade gourmet breakfasts were fabulous and attractive with the fresh flower garnishes. The only caveat would be that all rooms require navigating a few stairs as well into the lobby/ dining room, so take thos into consideration if you have mobility issues. Otherwise, the rooms are old fashioned, but with modern upgrades like a small refrigerator (no freezer), coffeemaker, and an electric tea pot, small kitchen sink, basic dishes and utencils, dish soap and drainer. The gardens are lovely with umbrellas, tables and chairs to sit outside to enjoy the quiet secluded greenery and regular deer visitors.

Beyond beautiful, it was in such a pleasant quiet part of Victoria while also being close enough for a walk downtown. We enjoyed our time here and everyone was so lovely.

Fairholme Manor is a beautiful old Victorian house in a quaint neighborhood just minutes from downtown Vancouver. We were close enough to have easy access and far enough that evenings were super quiet and peaceful. The house is beautifully decorated and our room was incredible- soft, warm, inviting. Beds were super comfortable. It’s an old house, so you have to deal with some of the things that come with that- there’s no central AC, the bathroom was small (but well appointed) so I used surfaces in the kitchenette for my stuff. But that’s just part of staying in a B&B that’s an old house, so any reviewer that counts that negatively just wasn’t prepared. Sylvia does an amazing job of making you feel welcomed and cared for. The breakfast was exceptional. She had recommendations each day of things to do, and the grounds are lovely and peaceful and home to several deer. Overall, we absolutely loved our stay and would definitely stay again. Fairholme Manor is highly recommended!

Elegant and comfortable Rockland home
This stately home adjacent to the Lieutenant Governor's lands has views to the sea, and its own resident deer and bird populations. The owners, Sylvia and Ross and all members of staff make you feel truly welcome. Furnishings are comfortable and beautiful, and breakfast is a dream. This bed and breakfast has been an oasis to me!

This is a fantastic bed and breakfast! We just loved the character of this property and the surrounding area. The owner, Sylvia, is an amazing baker/chef and genuinely took an interest in our plans and offered up places to see and places to eat. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay!

Was welcomed the first day to a warm and inviting room. The morning after at breakfast, upon updating a female staff of our intent to leave early the next day for our flight and check out process requirements, she insisted that we have not paid for our stay and was quite condescending on it. We pulled out our bank statement as proof that payment was made but her attitude left an unpleasant taste. That night, we went back to a room where it was absolutely freezing cold, lights in the hallway turnt off, it was like they “forgot” they had guests. We will not be returning for sure.

Very Overrated. Guys, don't go as per the reviews: very overrated rooms, views and breakfast. There is nothing special about the price you pay for the stay. Zero amenities. They have staff which I did not find very helpful. They charge you for breakfast, but it felt like they they were doing me a favour when serving it. Just book a nice big-name hotel, and you'll be fine. DO NOT GO AS PER REVIEWS. IT CAN’T BE TRUE. JUST CAN’T BE.
