The location is perfect for those who prefer being away from city noise and activity, and also enjoy having extensive seaside trails and park trails to explore and enjoy. The Tudor Room was perfect as a solo traveler and nice to be on the corner of the building away from street noise. The interior of Dashwood Manor has a lovely feel and look of an old Victoria manor house. Plenty of hot water for showers/baths and love having a bar sink, counter and mini fridge in the room. The breakfast is excellent and there are drinks and snacks available in the dining room 24/7. Service is excellent and friendly and the view from the dining room of the Olympics is a great start to the day.
Walking through Beacon Hill Park into Victoria center is very enjoyable with tons of different paths to choose from and all kinds of activities and gardens along the way. If you are stealthy, you might spot a fawn feeding in the brush as I did.
