Overall Ratings & Reviews Fairholme Manor

Beautiful garden and property, friendly staff. Amazing breakfast, it’s a must stay while in Victoria!

The stay at Fairholme manor was wonderful! Everyone made us feel right at home! The outdoor garden space was delightful to enjoy a morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening! Breakfasts were amazing and our hostess Christina was incredibly helpful with tips on where to go in Victoria as well as suggestions for dinner both downtown and in the area! She was also delightful to speak with whenever we had questions or just visiting with her over breakfast! I would highly recommend it and definitely want to come back here again!!

This is a wonderful property in a quiet residential area with views of an adjacent public garden. While it's not close to anything, there are multiple neighborhoods within 20-30 minute walk or very short drive. Also about 20 minute walk to the shoreline. This was a fantastic home base. The breakfast every day was extremely good, and the staff and owner were both friendly and attentive. We were very glad to have chosen this location.

Beautiful quaint Manor in a quiet residential area. Beautiful grounds and streets. Walkable to beach areas and restaurants. Staff were kind and very helpful. Breakfast was amazing!

Our suite was quaint, quiet and very comfortable. The Breakfasts were outstanding, the best I have experienced in a B&B and possibly anywhere

Floor is squeaky. Bed also

We had a wonderful time at Fairholm Manor! The place is beautiful and our room was very comfortable.But what truly set this place apart was the exceptional service.The owners were super friendly and the breakfast was delicious. We felt very relaxed and would definitely stay there again!

What an absolute gem of a place. Room if amazing, the bed is so comfortable. They think of everything. The owners and staff are incredible, one of my best experience ever staying somewhere. Thank you!!

This is a beautiful property that I'm worried we visited on a bit of an off week as the proprietor had just returned from vacation. The good - The property and area really are quite beautiful, and we had a lovely view from our room. Breakfast was high quality, and what of it I could have (pregnant, so no runny eggs or cured meats) was tasty. The hosts make great recommendations and can book reservations and excursions for guests. The jetted tub was a welcome surprise. The could-be-improved - Note that if you book thru a 3rd party, you will not receive any communication prior to arrival and will need to remember that there is a 2hr check-in window. This was an issue for us as our ferry from Vancouver arrived late. The suite we had wasn't in full working order as both the light in the stairwell entry and cooking range weren't working. We only discovered the latter after buying groceries to make a late dinner on our last night after a busy day of sightseeing, and so went to bed hungry (I'm pregnant so that was not fun. In my mind, if a major facility of the suite isn't functioning, that should be called out at check-in and some reasonable accommodation made.) Various conveniences were missing - anywhere to charge a phone next to the bed, trash bin in kitchen, cream(er) for morning coffee (the pod coffee was pretty bad anyway), and though the bed seemed comfy at first, I woke up both nights with hip/back pain. Not exactly the 5-star experience I had hoped for, sadly.

Kristina was wonderful!! Pleasant and professional. Great restaurant suggestions.

Everything about our stay was amazing.

Very comfortable. Very clean.

Sylvia, Ross, and their staff are exceptional hosts. We enjoyed our stay and exploring the area very much.

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!

We had a great stay at the Fairholme. We would absolutely stay again.

Had a great stay… delicious breakfasts, great location with a walking park next door and the hosts are very welcoming!

Best hotel experience I've ever had! I booked a night in the Olympic Grand Suite and the view was absolutely stunning! Everything in the room was clean and well organized. Thanks to Sylvia for everything, especially the breakfast! Will definitely come back again in the future!

Felt very welcomed and the breakfast was amazing. It was convenient to the Ferry but quiet and away from downtown. Perfect.
