James (10/5): Outstanding in all respects. Highly recommended - Staff and owner exceptional. Breakfast outstanding.Spacious room with a view. Beautiful gardens just next door at Government House. Our Upper floor room challenging to carry luggage up to. Next time we will reserve a more accessible room like either of the Grand Suites.
Brian (10/5): -
Janet (10/5): -
Robert (7/5): Happy to have experience the Manor but disappointed in how things worked out - Liked the rustiness of the room would wonder staying during hot weather as didn’t see air conditioning and we turned of all heat and was just about right at this time of year ( Late March ). Also they should check the coffee machine in the room as it doesn’t turn on tried different plugs. The location is good no one should ever complain about location as you are the one who picked it. Didn’t like it was a set time for breakfast 8:30 in morning when people are on holidays they like to sleep in. When I asked at check in about a later time say 9:30 was told no but might be able to push the 8:30 a little, so even though we had paid for breakfast as this is what a bed and breakfast is we ate down town. Nothing on their website could I find it was that early for breakfast and a set time or I would have chosen elsewhere. They did try to be accommodating in the morning when I said we were passing on it as they made you feel as if you were really putting them out. We were in the B&B business for 12 years and we let people chose a convenient time for them and I’d say 80% were 9:30-10:30 very few chose before 9:00. Saying it fresh baked breads is why you need to eat at this time, I have never seen breads go stale in a hour. Might seem critical but it didn’t create a great experience.
Evelyne (9/5): - Dormir une nuit dans une suite victorienne ,le cadre extérieur fantastique un lit super confortable extra-large douillet
David (10/5): - So tasty, healthy and fresh! Just excellent! For room 7, maybe put screens on the windows- very warm upstairs!
Sophie (8/5): -
Svetlana (10/5): everything was perfect!! staff very friendly, breakfast exceptional!! -

Lindy (10/5): -
Ros (10/5): -
Jacqueline (9/5): A hidden gem ! - It was both elegant and cozy. The historical details of the inn were beautifully maintained. Location next to the beautiful gardens of the Lieutenant Governor was perfect. The breakfasts were customized, delicious and beautifully presented. I really enjoyed chatting with the proprietor and hope to return! Hmm…?

Jörg Fischer (10/5): - Herzliche Gastgeber, reichliches, ausgezeichnetes Frühstück und frische Blumen im Zimmer. Kurz es bleiben keine Wünsche offen. n/a
Lissa (10/5): - This is an exceptional property in a beautiful neighbourhood that is easy to explore on foot. Sylvia clearly puts a lot of effort into making her guests feel at home in her home. The staff paid great attention to detail and in providing timely and excellent service. This is a peaceful and tranquil oasis in a lovely city. We hope to stay here again!
eric (10/5): fabtatstic vue avec en plus les animaux dans le jardin - la vue, la chambre et le petit dejeuner rien
Po Wan Debora (9/5): Warm and excellent. - Walk-in shower and Bathtub jacuzzi are great. The mattress of the bed is too soft.
Po Wan Debora (9/5): Excellent and personal with detailed information shared by the owner. - Definitely the Royalty room setting with the balcony and little living room and also a big separate bathroom and walk-in closet. The mattresses of the bed is too soft.
Aletta (10/5): Fantastic location. Provided a tranquil setting for work and leisure! - Lovely suite with wonderful view! Would have liked milk in the fridge
JOHN (9/5): Lovely B&B with a delicious breakfast! - Really nice B&B, we had a lovely room with a large bath. The breakfast was delicious and the host was very nice. If your like us and like to walk mostly it’s a 30-45min walk to the centre of Victoria.
Christoph (10/5): Sehr empfehlenswert - Sehr freundliche, hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Liebevoll ausgestattetes Haus. Toller Frühstücksraum. Reichhaltiges und außergewöhnliches Frühstück, keine Wünsche blieben offen. Personal sehr freundlich und zugewandt. Sehr schöne Lage in ruhiger Umgebung.
BillieBob (9/5): Enjoyable area - Very nice facility and neighborhood. Quite enjoyable. Nothing
June (9/5): A wonderful place Highly recommended - A great experience staying in an old manor that so well kept . Breakfast was excellent and Christina who took care of us was sweet, helpful and cheerful . None
Peter (10/5): I don't think there's a better place to stay in Victoria. It really feels like home. - The house is beautiful. The breakfast is excellent and exceptionally good. The staff were exceptionally friendly, nice, courteous and helpful – in a word, wonderful. It was a dream to spend a few days of our holiday here. The house is beautiful.

Jill (10/5): - This is our third stay at Fairholme Manor. The property is beautiful, the rooms impeccable, the staff is friendly knowledgeable and kind, and the breakfasts are absolutely delicious. We love Sylvia and always look forward to our next visit.
Diana (10/5): I deserve a treat. - I thought the cost of a b n b was prohibitive. But the sheer luxury of he room was worth it. The spa like washroom, the quality of the sleep in that quiet room was superb. And then the breakfast! Wow.
Dirk (8/5): -
Willem (10/5): - Prachtige suite met een fantastisch uitzicht. Het ontbijt was geweldig. De gastvrouw was super aardig. Het bed was heel erg mooi maar niet erg comfortabel.
Warren (10/5): - Breakfast was excellent. Cooked to order. DELICIOUS! Silvia, owner and proprietor, runs the Inn similar to a classy European bed and Breakfast. ALL guests are treated as if they were family Limited ramps to assist disabled customers using canes or walkers
Dennis (10/5): A wonderful stay in Victoria - Great breakfast. Beautiful comfortable rooms. Staff and owner where very helpful and made us feel like we were home.
Dr. Uwe (10/5): Außergewöhnlich, schöne und gastfreundliche Unterkunft, sehr zu empfehlen, wir würden beim nächsten Aufenthalt wiederkom - Ein sehr schönes Anwesen mit sehr schönen, stilvoll eingerichteten Zimmern, tollen Gastgebern mit viel Liebe zum Detail. Silvia hat mit ihrem Team eine schöne Gastatmosphäre geschaffen und ein zauberhaftes Frühstück zubereitet. Hier haben wir bei unseren B & B Erfahrungen selten ein so schöneres Erlebnis gehabt. An unserem Abreisetag mussten wir etwas früher zum Flughafen aufbrechen, Silvia hat sofort sich bereit erklärt, uns trotzdem schon ein leckeres Frühstück zu zubereiten, auch wenn die offizielle Frühstückszeit erst 8:30 Uhr gewesen wäre. Zusammenfassend kann man sagen, eigentlich handelt es sich nicht um ein B & B, sondern aus unserer Sicht, um ein schönes Boutique Hotel, das gleichzeitig auch ein Frühstück anbietet. Wir waren rundum zufrieden, es gäbe nichts zu berichten.
John (10/5): - Wunderbar 👍👍👍
johan (9/5): -
Eugenia (10/5): Besonderes B&B - tolles Haus, Garten, Personal und Frühstück, Lage ist super! - Absolut besondere Unterkunft in einem beeindruckenden Haus. Unser Zimmer war riesig und mit Terrasse mit Blick aufs Meer. Der Garten ist wunderbar sowie das Frühstück eines der besten in Kanada. Alle super freundlich mit wunderbaren Tipps - vielen Dank für den tollen Aufenthalt. Die Matratze hätte für unseren Geschmack härter sein können, ist etwas weich.

Markus (10/5): -
Daniela (10/5): Wonderful stay in a charming hotel - - Very nice personnel - Great three course breakfast every day - Saw deers in the garden - Beautiful traditional house with very nice rooms - Silence and proximity to government garden - Attention to detail in the rooms (e.g. flowers and paintings) - can walk to the city center -
Rolf David (10/5): -
Sam Y. (10/5): A sweet short stay! - We had a wonderful stay at Fairholme Manor! The resident deer were adorable to watch from the dining room and the staff were extremely accommodating and had wonderful suggestions. Our room was absolutely lovely, clean, and much larger than expected!
Charlie (10/5): -
Nicolas (9/5): - Super individuell eingerichtete Zimmer, ein sehr schönes Boutique Hotel. Das Frühstück lässt keine Wünsche offen. Parkplatz vor der Tür und außerordentlich freundliches Personal. Leider war der Kühlschrank in unserem Zimmer sehr laut (auch nachts). Die Mitarbeitenden waren sehr bemüht das Problem zu lösen.
David (9/5): Superb - A fabulous Victorian house very nicely decorated and furnished. Very comfortable stay. Good sized rooms. Nice private garden. Adjacent Government House gardens. The locality is high end residential. About 1 mile walk into downtown Victoria.
Saleha (10/5): - Gorgeous property beautifully renovated and maintained. Exquisite views and lovely neighborhood. World class garden park right next door!
Tamás (10/5): Exceptional -
Katherine (8/5): Overall Fairholme was an excellent stay, would recommend to others. - We had a wonderful stay at Fairholme Manor for our wedding! Sylvia and her staff were lovely and attentive hosts and helped make our stay seamless and enjoyable! The room was impeccable with high ceilings and an amazing bathtub. Breakfast in their dining room was prompt and delicious! The manor was full of character and the best was the sweet deer roaming around the property!
Mary (10/5): Exceptional - Central location. Historic setting. Scenic walking opportunity close by at BC Government House. Delicious breakfast with several choices. Easy parking.
Rita (10/5): We look forward to returning home to rave about the Fairholme Inn and share our pictures - I really enjoyed your staff, especially Kristina. And the deer was precious! Nothing, everything went well and was much appreciated
BURTON (10/5): - My travel partner kept complimenting me on my choice to stay here. Peaceful location with great views. Staff was great and the breakfasts were amazing. We drove a vintage car, and I always felt it was safe.
Lanny (8/5): Country charm in a central location. - Centrally located. Garden and surrounding areas were idyllic. Deer in the yard was a bonus. Delicious breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful view from 2nd story. Lack of air conditioning made the room warm even with windows open. Provided box fan was not powerful and loud. Lack of screens on windows let bugs in. Luckily not too many mosquitoes. No blackout curtains, sunrise at 5:30 am.
Margaret (10/5): Beautiful building in a peaceful and idyllic location.Warm welcome from Colleen! - Beautiful building in a peaceful and idyllic location. Nothing
Adrian (10/5): Lovely stay at Fairholme Manor - Beautiful house with great views towards the Olympic mountains. Sylvia and Christina were excellent hosts. Our room was lovely, large, airy and nicely furnished. We enjoyed time on the balcony taking in the view and watching the deer in the garden. Breakfast was delightful with homemade cakes, parfaits and a different main each morning. Easy walk to downtown, took us 30 mins (we're in our 60s). Bonus was the Governor Generals house next door with nice gardens open to the public. The kitchen units in our room were showing their age and the kitchen tap was a bit of a mystery as to where was hot or cold. Minor things which didn't really bother us.
Don (9/5): A lovely setting, first rate breakfast, attentive staff. Definitely hope to return! - The breakfast was wonderful. We were fortunate to be able to sit on the front porch and were visited by a family of deer. A lovely experience and one we won't forget. The absence of some conveniences in the bathroom. Hooks for towels, a grab bar in the large bathtub. First world sort of annoyances but would have been appreciated.
Desiree (9/5): Pleasant, refreshing and calming. - Peace and tranquility, gardens and setting. Not much really, nothing to complain about.
Patrick (10/5): Come for the gardens and stay for the breakfast! - Beautiful grounds, beside the Government House, so deer, rabbits and hummingbirds were regular visitors in the expansive lawns and flower beds. This place has a vibe of elegance, a charming facade and delicious breakfast. We arrived at 3:15 for a 4 pm check in and initial contact was cool, not that welcoming - the sign by the door says they are open at 4 so we messed up. A few minutes later, the same hostess found us on the veranda with a much warmer tone and our stay was fine. Until we were to check out, and we had a knock on our door 15 min prior to check out to inquire about our plans to leave. Totally unnecessary and not anywhere near a 5 star experience. Lastly, this place is 1.2 mi (1.9 km) from the harbor...a good walk but the hotel should have a courtesy car given the distance.
Yoshiko (10/5): - I wish i could stay longer! Everything wa perfect for our girls trip.
James (9/5): Delightful property with excellent accommodation. - Beautiful period features. Quiet location. Short walk required for nearest public transport
Nancy (9/5): Superb - The breakfasts were delicious!
P (10/5): Lovely place to stay - What a lovely stay. Hosts very good and breakfast each day was excellent. Room was clean and tidy and location good. With food parking.
Nick (9/5): Superb -
Jenny (10/5): A beautiful country manor in the city - We loved our stay here. The historic house was very well set out in a quiet neighbourhood close enough to town but far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet of a country manor. The gardens are beautiful and there is on site parking that is very safe and accessible. We sat out in the garden each evening and watched the deer and their babies nibble on the grass. Our morning breakfast was so nice and all the people staying there were of our ilk! The staff are so great and nothing is too much trouble. We were so glad we stayed there and would go back in a flash.
David (10/5): - Beautiful garden and property, friendly staff. Amazing breakfast, it’s a must stay while in Victoria!
Langford (9/5): Superb -
Claire (10/5): - 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!!
Fryberger (9/5): Superb - Beautiful historic site, excellent breakfast and wonderful location
Charlotte (10/5): Absolutely fantastic - loved every minute of our stay - Beautiful property in a lovely location. 5 minute drive to Victoria or a pleasant 30 minute walk.
Bob (10/5): - 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.
Selena (10/5): Stunning views, gourmet breakfast and cozy stay - I literally gasped when I entered our suite in Fairholme Manor Inn. The view of the ocean and mountains was simply stunning. It actually looked way better in person than in my photos. I loved the entire set up of our suite. There was so much space to relax, get ready, have some drinks etc. The suite has a balcony, a little sitting area, fireplace, bathroom and closet with plush bathrobes. The dining area is on the main floor (down the stairs from the suite). It’s so sunny and cozy, and the included gourmet breakfast is served there. It is a perfect way to start the morning. The service at Fairholme was fantastic. Both the owner, Sylvia, and our hostess were friendly and accommodating. One little detail I appreciated was that they included a binder full of activities to do in the city. I discovered a few things I didn’t know about from the binder. I also love the neighbourhood that Fairholme is located in. It’s very nice and quiet. The official residence of Victoria’s governor is just a couple minutes’ walk away and you can even tour his gardens. It’s also close to buses, so you can easily get around. Overall, simply incredible. It is one of those stays that I’ll never forget and would recommend to anyone visiting Victoria. I liked everything, but maybe a little suggestion would be to offer snacks, charcuterie, or wine for guests to enjoy on the lovely balcony!
Helen (10/5): Loved Fairmont Manor! - Everything! Sylvia, Christine & Mona looked after us beautifully. Thanks so much! There were dears, squirrels & owls outside our widow in the morning! The breakfast was incredible made especially by Sylvia! Yummy. Fairholme Manor Inn was so clean! Thanks so much for our stay! Ray & Helen - Australia Nothing
Graham (10/5): Excellent character property - Lovely character building about 30 minutes walk from downtown Victoria. Lovely, comfortable room with a gorgeous view from the deck. Excellent, home cooked, included breakfast and very helpful staff and owners. Highly recommended so long as you don’t mind driving or walking into town. Nothing
Colette (9/5): Good value and very pleasant staff. Helpful hints on touring and where to eat. - Very peaceful with lovely gardens Our room was small
Lori (8/5): - 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!
Maureen (8/5): Super period property with friendly welcoming host - What a delightful period property! Sylvia was super welcoming and accommodating, especially our early check out by providing a continental breakfast in our room. Breakfast was very nice and fulsome with home made, freshly baked bread included!! We had the downstairs room which was lovely. The only issue was a lack of floor space to open our cases!
Bak (9/5): Superb -
Karyn (10/5): Fantastic breakfast and lovely staff! -
Stella (10/5): The most beautiful historic house surrounded by gorgeous gardens. - Everything was perfect!
Michael (10/5): Christine was a great host. She was very friendly and personable and we enjoyed talking with her and the breakfast is re -
Aletta (9/5): Exceptional hospitality - Accommodating staff
Moodliar (10/5): Done so, above - Breakfast was beyond expectations, mainly because of the intention to please. All of the people including Sylvia ensured our satisfaction in the food as well as our comfort. The ladies in attendance including Coleen and Christine made us feel at home. I highly recommend Fairholme Manor for stay and breakfast/brunch. Thank you ??
Ian (7/5): Good - Good breakfast (providing you’re not a fussy eater) Lovely area of town. Stunning views and garden. Bed was super comfy. The bathroom could do with updating. The shower temperature is inconsistent. There was a lot of dust within the radiators.
James (10/5): Beautiful, quiet, comfy, friendly place to stay - The breakfast every morning was exceptional and the staff were so friendly and pleasant to chat with. We booked the smallest room and they ended up upgrading us to a larger room mid way through our stay! Both rooms were beautiful, nice, quiet, and cozy. We loved everything about our stay and could not recommend this place enough. The breakfast was so amazing we are looking forward to purchasing the Fabulous Fairholme cook book to try out more recipes by Sylvia! Everything was amazing! The only bummer was them not having any more cookbooks for sale on hand. But they are so amazing they took our name and email down for a future copy.
Lynn (10/5): fantastic stay - Our suite was quaint, quiet and very comfortable. The Breakfasts were outstanding, the best I have experienced in a B&B and possibly anywhere
Kimberly (10/5): Beautiful, relaxing and comfortable! - Stunning view of mountains and and water in Room 4, welcoming staff, comfortable bed and amazing breakfasts! Beautiful garden next door!
Maureen (7/5): Good - The breakfast was excellent - beyond expectation. The location was perfect for us. The bed was comfortable. The hostess that greeted us upon arrival was excellent with good tips for nearby restaurants. There was no where to put a suitcase. A luggage rack would have been a good idea. A few hooks for hanging jackets etc. would have been an easy addition. Bedside table was not beside the bed. Had to get up to place a cup of tea or retrieve a book etc. Upon leaving the house, the door was open to another room which was substantially larger and more comfortable. I think we got the 'small' barebones room.
Norma (10/5): Can't wait for an excuse to return! - The property is beautiful and amazingly quiet at night. We had the penthouse suite which, although described as having one king bed, also has a very comfortable queen-sized chesterbed in another room. This delighted my sister and I as we spent quite enough time in the same bed as children. The breakfasts were fabulous and generous and the staff wonderful - very friendly and most obliging. I had only one complaint about the property and it was quickly resolved – the duvet on the very comfortable king bed was too warm but when I complained I was cheerfully given a very acceptable option.
Zoran (10/5): - Floor is squeaky. Bed also
