Peaceful Oasis
Paul’s B&B is in an absolutely amazing and tranquil setting yet not a long drive from all the amenities you may need. There are beautiful walking trails right off his property and beach access nearby although you will probably never want to leave the property! The accommodations are beautiful, clean and have everything you may need. The bed is super comfy. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return soon. Thanks for being so welcoming and thoughtful in every way Paul.

Just right
It would have been a 6 out of 5 if that had been possible. We felt like guests more than renters. The hosts were very gracious and accommodating, including letting us feed and pet the horses, and sharing fresh vegetables from their garden. They also built a fire for us, amazing starry night right by the pond, serenaded by a symphony of frogs. Very pleasant stay, would recommend.

Peaceful Refuge
I was greeted by two large friendly dogs, much to my delight. The room was pristine, well-equipped, and very private, with my own outdoor entrance. The hosts were friendly and welcoming. Comfy bed, lovely linens, and good shower. The three horses happily accepted my apple treats. I went for a lovely walk through the forest straight from my room. The location is quiet and peaceful, with easy access to the rest of the Saanich Peninsula for wonderful hikes, the Deep Cove Market, the town of Sidney, and the ferry terminal.

Pup’s Paradise!
Hidden gem is right! We had a wonderful time exploring North Saanich and using this as a home base for lots of other BC exploration. We brought our dog, and she had such a blast! The hosts were amazing, so welcoming and kind. They shared with us their horse, miniature horses, and golden retrievers, as well as great recommendations for hiking and food. This was the perfect holiday, not only for us, but for our pup, who was definitely in paradise!
