Fairholme Manor Inn

Beautiful bed and breakfast surrounded by established gardens. Close to government house and a short walk from fort street. Great 3 course breakfast with freshly baked goods which changes daily. Sylvia and Kristina were so helpful and attentive.

Beautiful room, great service, and those breakfasts! Our first time staying at Fairholme and it was really an exceptional experience. Comfortable ~20 minute walk into downtown Victoria through some very nice neighbourhoods.

A wonderful place to stay, this is a stunning house inside and out, total quality, fresh flowers everywhere, even on your breakfast, the food was totally outstanding, homemade and delicious, the attention to detail and cleanliness was second to none. Sylvia the owner was so helpful in recommending first class restaurants where the food and service was outstanding, she even arranged an earl breakfast for us so we could make our ferry crossing in good time. It’s about a 25 minute walk through a lovely neighbourhood to downtown Victoria, a taxi back from a night out about $20 with tip (£12). Deer and squirrels roam the gardens. Bedrooms are a delight, large comfy bed and powerful shower. Not the cheapest place to stay but in our opinion well worth it, would not hesitate to book again in the future. Thank you Sylvia and staff for a very warm welcome and outstanding service Brian & Anne Newcastle UK

Charming Victorian house with beautiful garden. There are deer and a bunny roaming around. We stayed in apar**ent 7 and it was everything we wished for - clean, comfortable, upscale. Sylvia is an attentive host, she was making sure our stay was most satisfactory by making us dinner reservations and suggesting outings. The breakfasts we had were scrumptious. Fresh baked goodies, attention to details, options offered for dietary needs. The Inn is in a residential area in a lovely neighborhood, right next to King Charles’ garden. It’s the perfect place to stroll hand in hand or read, a book! Restaurants are walking distance (10-15 min) in a safe area (where deer is often spotted in gardens or on the street). Downtown is not much farther and the walk there is very pleasant. We would love to come back. Fairholme Manor Inn is the perfect place to stay in Victoria!

Our group of 4 spent 3 nights at Fairhome Manor. We had 3 different rooms. It could not have been lovelier. Sylvie and her staff were wonderful. The rooms were the best and the breakfast every morning was delicious. Sylvie was so friendly and had wonderful suggestions for dinner and day activities. There are a family of deer that just wander around the property. It was an amazing experience. Will definitely stay here again!

This is our 4th visit here and first since the outbreak of COVID in 2020. We stayed a month and clearly this is the best B&B we have ever stayed at and that is why we are repeat customers. Sylvia & Ross are gracious hosts. Rooms are spotless, food is the best, and the service is outstanding. Add this to all the things you can do in Victoria, this stay, as in our previous stays was outstanding. We will be back!!

My wife and I have stayed at many B&Bs, mostly in North America and the UK, and this is one near the very top of the list, if not the top. Immaculately clean. The breakfasts were elegant but down to earth and delicious. The warmth and professionalism with which Sylvia handled our interactions was deeply appreciated. All of this in a setting that was quiet and stunningly beautiful, right next to grounds of the Government House, an expansive garden and grounds with panoramic views of the ocean and mountains. Needless to say, we hope to go back, and we will tell our friends about this place! Wonderful!

We recently spent 3 weeks touring the west of Canada and the USA and this was our favourite B&B / hotel from the whole trip. Stayed in a Queen room (not a suite) which was spacious and had sizeable en-suite bathroom with shower and sunken bath. On ground floor and we saw many deer just outside our window. Breakfasts freshly cooked and wonderful. Fairholme Manor is located in a lovely suburb of Victoria about a 10 minute or 30 minute walk from downtown Victoria, close to Government House and Gardens and Craigdarroch Castle and also close to the Oak Bay area which offers many eating and shopping options. We were not captivated by downtown Victoria but loved the area Fairholme Manor is in and it's close proximity to some lovely bays and beaches (we saw sea otters and seals). Our stay at Fairholme Manor really made our trip to Victoria special. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you again Sylvia and Ross for letting us stay in your lovely home.

We stayed three nights in the lovely Rose Garden suite. Very spacious, it included a second bedroom, kitchen and bath as well as a large deck overlooking the garden. Located in a historic neighborhood, perfect for walks. Close by is Cook Street with restaurants and shops...downtown five minutes away. Sylvia and Ross are gracious hosts, welcoming as is their staff. Breakfasts were different every morning, delicious and healthy. You will really enjoy the Fairholme and it's lovely gardens.
