We liked the location and room, very cute vibes. Having the breakfast was convenient as well, the lady serving us was really sweet. The only quick comment, is that it was hard to close the door smoothly without making noise. Lynne

The tub was nice. But it’s not a hot tub. It’s just a big bathtub without jets Ot

Overall the stay was pleasant. I would say the outside property was not as well maintained as the photos indicated.

Welcoming staff. Clean room with great ocean views. Lovely breakfast. Would stay again.

Very nice and classic Victorian style B&B! Great location ( right near the Beacon Hill Park and coast)! Highly recommended for first timer to Victoria!

Overall our stay was good. The staff and the breakfast were excellent. The location is great and the view from our room was awesome. Think of the owners invested in some gardening and slight updates to the property, Dashwood would have been a great vs good experience for us.

A beautiful room with character and yet all the necessary amenities. When I told the staff I had an early flight and had to miss breakfast they made sure to prepare something and place it in my fridge the night prior. Gorgeous views of the ocean and excellent walkable location!

amazing staff, so kind and helpful, beautiful atmosphere, felt like staying in a museum. would recommend!

Staff was lovely. Breakfasts were excellent! Great location.

It was a beautiful property. With great staff and very accommodating. Highly recommend

Loved this place! Breakfast was amazing! Staff was so nice and attentive. The complementary drinks (water, sodas, tea, coffee) and pastries were very helpful especially b/c this location is a bit of a walk from any stores. Location is perfect if you are wanting to be in a quiet residential area with beach and park right across the street, but it is several miles from city center. We walked from the tourist part of town a few times because we were able to walk through Beacon Park which is amazing park. If you looking for a quiet, scenic location, this is the place for you. Just be prepared to do some walking (or driving) in order to explore downtown attractions.

The rooms are clean and quiet and the breakfast is good. The common area is very limited and not very inviting. Location is great right along the water and bike/walking trails.

Beautiful location and so convenient. The breakfast was amazing and the service was also great.

Habitación en perfectas condiciones, excelente vista, amenidades perfectas.

The Dashwood met expectations overall. The view from the third-floor Dorset room was sigh-inducing. The deck provided ample space for morning coffee and evening wine. The bed and pillows were SO COMFY that I slept like a rock for 3 nights. The quirky heritage nature of this building made the stay more interesting than any boring hotel. Is it upgraded or updated, without stains or old fixtures? No, but that's part of the charm. The room was not cleaned during my stay, which was actually fine with me except for the dishes that piled up. The location was ideal with walking paths along the ocean and a beach across the road (and down the hill). Breakfast was plentiful (although eggs weren't done as ordered and potatoes were super-greasy), but the all-day hospitality snacks and drinks were a delightful touch (mmmm, the snickerdoodles!). Access was easy and communication was timely.

I enjoyed the experience of a well maintained heritage building and bright open large rooms filled with antiques and new luxury mattresses. The breakfast room was a perfect Victorian vintage theme in a room with stained glass window toppers and a view over looking the ocean. English garden flowers growing in the grounds and only a short walk to the park the ocean or a local grocer. Perfect romantic delightful stay.

Beautiful property with fantastic sea views, adjacent parks perfect for walks, convenient to downtown. Staff was gracious and breakfasts were excellent. We enjoyed a spacious third floor suite with a balcony overlooking the water. Highly recommended. Thanks!

Excellent property and great location

Location near Cook Street Village (600 meters), the beach (across the street), and Beacon Hill Park (across the other street) is fabulous. 10 minute drive to downtown Victoria's inner harbour. Every room is lovely, but Dorset is my favorite with its king size bed, ocean view balcony, and massive bathroom. Breakfasts are magnificent and served daily from 8:30-9:30. Homemade treats are available throughout the day and night, coffee, tea, water and soda are also available 24/7. Each room has its own fridge and coffee maker. Staff are very helpful. No daily housekeeping unless requested. We enjoyed the privacy and never needed it.

The windows in our room were so dirty that it was hard to see the view. The rug was thread bear and had a hole that had been poorly repaired with the rug pad showing through . The gardens may have been lovely in years gone by but clearly aren’t getting any attention now. For almost $400 Canadian/ night I would expect more attention to detail and care for this beautiful old home. I won’t return
