Fairholme Manor Inn

Beautiful bed and breakfast surrounded by established gardens. Close to government house and a short walk from fort street. Great 3 course breakfast with freshly baked goods which changes daily. Sylvia and Kristina were so helpful and attentive.

This stately home adjacent to the Lieutenant Governor's lands has views to the sea, and its own resident deer and bird populations. The owners, Sylvia and Ross and all members of staff make you feel truly welcome. Furnishings are comfortable and beautiful, and breakfast is a dream. This bed and breakfast has been an oasis to me!

This is a fantastic bed and breakfast! We just loved the character of this property and the surrounding area. The owner, Sylvia, is an amazing baker/chef and genuinely took an interest in our plans and offered up places to see and places to eat. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay!

Was welcomed the first day to a warm and inviting room. The morning after at breakfast, upon updating a female staff of our intent to leave early the next day for our flight and check out process requirements, she insisted that we have not paid for our stay and was quite condescending on it. We pulled out our bank statement as proof that payment was made but her attitude left an unpleasant taste. That night, we went back to a room where it was absolutely freezing cold, lights in the hallway turnt off, it was like they “forgot” they had guests. We will not be returning for sure.

The landlord is very warm, thoughtful and sincere, and will come to stay next time.

Beautiful room and grounds. So scenic and peaceful with lots of nature. The food is excellent and staff attentive and caring. Our Host Sylvia is simply amazing. Keeps us returning year after year. Highly recommend!!!

Beautiful room, great service, and those breakfasts! Our first time staying at Fairholme and it was really an exceptional experience. Comfortable ~20 minute walk into downtown Victoria through some very nice neighbourhoods.

A wonderful place to stay, this is a stunning house inside and out, total quality, fresh flowers everywhere, even on your breakfast, the food was totally outstanding, homemade and delicious, the attention to detail and cleanliness was second to none. Sylvia the owner was so helpful in recommending first class restaurants where the food and service was outstanding, she even arranged an earl breakfast for us so we could make our ferry crossing in good time. It’s about a 25 minute walk through a lovely neighbourhood to downtown Victoria, a taxi back from a night out about $20 with tip (£12). Deer and squirrels roam the gardens. Bedrooms are a delight, large comfy bed and powerful shower. Not the cheapest place to stay but in our opinion well worth it, would not hesitate to book again in the future. Thank you Sylvia and staff for a very warm welcome and outstanding service Brian & Anne Newcastle UK

Charming Victorian house with beautiful garden. There are deer and a bunny roaming around. We stayed in apar**ent 7 and it was everything we wished for - clean, comfortable, upscale. Sylvia is an attentive host, she was making sure our stay was most satisfactory by making us dinner reservations and suggesting outings. The breakfasts we had were scrumptious. Fresh baked goodies, attention to details, options offered for dietary needs. The Inn is in a residential area in a lovely neighborhood, right next to King Charles’ garden. It’s the perfect place to stroll hand in hand or read, a book! Restaurants are walking distance (10-15 min) in a safe area (where deer is often spotted in gardens or on the street). Downtown is not much farther and the walk there is very pleasant. We would love to come back. Fairholme Manor Inn is the perfect place to stay in Victoria!
