    Lovely garden styled property with welcoming hosts , close to Butchart gardens but location requires a hire car or Uber

    Difficulty getting up to the room, loft style Stairs to negotiate.. but host assisted No AC, just fans or open windows Double bed … comfy but prefer Queen sized. The Canadian kettle system with pods is not what we are used to. These machines were in all Canadian /Vancouver hotels we stayed in … Personally i do not like at all their Keurig machines… just a normal kettle please So can boil for hot water, make a tea, instant coffee or sachet serve hot drinks. Way too complicated and waste of time.

    It was an out of the way quiet location managed by two lovely, dedicated and interested hosts. They did all they could to assist in every way… with food places, transport help, and knowledge of their area. Thoroughly enjoyed their company and friendliness and understanding. Wonderful breakfasts , host personally made fresh each morning. Property location really needs guests to hire a car and know how to LH drive and be ok with that when tired. Can get BCF ferry to Island but then a taxi to Saanichton and B&B. Or fly into Victoria from Vancouver. Victoria is not super close . Buses do run between Butchart Gardens and Victoria.. alot more to do and see there. Do need to check bus times tho .. Dark at night, longish drive down to house in a cul-de-sac type road. Parking available… no beach /inlet access, private to other homes. Nice gardens, relaxing outdoors. Beautiful home environment.

    Wonderful B&B in a country setting close to the airport and Sidney amenities.

    There was construction on the main road to leave the B&B, which made the commute to the airport longer than expected but that was no fault of the owners.

    Beautiful location in a country setting right by the water and close to Butchart Gardens and Sidney. The house was lovely and comfortable. The rooms were large and beds were comfortable. We had access to a separate kitchen for fridge storage as well as cutlery and plates. Our stay included a wonderful and plentiful breakfast. Mark and Carolyn were excellent hosts.

    There was nothing we didn’t like about the property.

    The location is great. It’s close to the ferry, and situated on a large property with amazing water views. We were in town for a wedding so we didn’t get to take advantage of nearby attractions but enjoyed our stay immensely. The rooms were spacious and the beds were very comfortable, which made for a great sleep. Mark & Carolyn, the hosts, had great communication prior and during our stay. The breakfast was delicious and very filling.

    We booked it for only one night to be close to the airport for an early flight so our stay there was too short ☹️.

    Beautiful location and convenient to Victoria airport. Very nice room at a reasonable rate. Host, Mark, was very helpful.

    Nothing it was perfect!

    We had a fantastic 3 night stay with Mark and Carolyn and genuinely wish we could have stayed longer. The location is very convenient for the sights in the area (Butchart, Victoria, and Sidney). The property is idyllic with lovely grounds and in a very peaceful setting. Our room was spacious and comfortable. As for the hospitality the breakfast was sensational, all fresh home cooked and varied each day. Mark and Carolyn are extremely gracious hosts and we so enjoyed talking with them and the other guests. 5 stars are not enough and we hope to return soon.

    I selected this B and B on the basis of its picture...And I was overwhelmed upon seeing the real thing. When you receive more than you anticipated it is a good thing! I am sorry, but there isn't a single thing I can say that I didn't like

    Hidden off a country road, we turned onto a smaller, packed gravel road which led us to the Inlet B and B. It is a beautiful home situated in the middle of a lush forest and having a narrow path which circles the property. After check in, we hiked down to the inland sea which abuts the property. The owners, Mark and Carolyn, are well suited as hosts and made us feel special in their home. This is definitely a do-over. The over-all ambiance was wonderful.
