Abbeymoore Manor B&B

I had a fantastic stay at Abbeymoore. The people were friendly, the food was fantastic, and there were all sorts of little extras to make the stay that much better. I also really enjoyed the decor and the fireplace in the rose room. I would definitely stay here again!

Recently on a trip across Canada and having stayed at other B&Bs (also in UK) which were very nice, would have to rate this as the best one yet. What made the difference was the welcoming, friendly and helpful service. It felt more like we were staying in a homely boutique hotel. Well worth a second visit next time we go to Vancouver Islannd.

We stayed at Abbeymoore for two nights and have only great things to say! We arrived late, but our gracious innkeeper left the key to our room for us and invited us to make ourselves at home. Abbeymoore feels like home, but better! Fresh baked treats and packaged goodies as well as tea and coffee were always available for us to help ourselves to and our bathrobes were cozy and warm. The room was beautiful and we loved the countless extra touches, like bedside reading lamps. Breakfast was outstanding and Michelle was friendly and helpful. Excellent value for the price.

We stayed at the Abbeymoore Manor for 5 days Feb 2012 in the Rose room. The most romantic room I’ve ever stayed in, fireplace and all‼ This room is large and has its own seating area; the rain-head shower was wonderful and very relaxing. Everything about our experience was wonderful, from the BEAUTIFUL room, the wonderful breakfasts, the accommodating hosts, and their generosity of spirit. They continuously went above and beyond providing great service to all of their guests. We have not experienced such attentive service anywhere else we've stayed. There is so much to say about this B&B. We loved sitting on the front porch/veranda in the mornings after breakfast, before we started our day. Anne’s baking; left out each day was a nice treat… along with all the other snacks available. This B&B really pampers you and pays attention to every detail; they’ve thought of everything! From fruit, snacks, baking, beverages offered throughout the day, fireplace, computer, books, TV, reservations... the hosts are friendly and always cheerful! My biggest compliment for this B&B was their generous accommodation to NUMEROUS allergies and my vegan diet (not an easy combination to say the least). They were outstanding, creating wonderful creative dishes from scratch for me. Gourmet breakfasts every day we were there!

My wife and I had a fabulous three night stay in the master at abbeymoore, wonderful building, decor and people. Breakfasts are amazing.

Don't bother looking at any others ... Ian and Ann are tops, food is great, house is lovely and while close to downtown, quiet and beautiful. We have been coming for years, and wouldn't consider changing. Try it!

I haven't stayed at a B&B very often, but when I come back to Victoria, I will definitely stay with Abbeymoore again. The rooms were fabulous and the amenities even better.

I had the opportunity to stay at Abbeymoore Manor in late October 2011. The room was beautiful, cozy and spacious with a victorian style washroom. Service was excellent and the breakfast each morning was fantastic. Oh and did I mention the beds were very comfortable?

We recently visited—for our first but certainly not our last time—at Abbeymoore Manor. It was the weekend after all the celebrations surrounding our daughter's marriage, and we too felt we deserved a post-wedding get-away. We could not have made a better choice. Ian was the perfect host, offering warm hospitality, helpful suggestions and plenty of respectful space for us to do our own thing. The historic Inn provides many wonderful features—from delightfully appointed guest rooms to lovely large living room, to way beyond the norm breakfast fare. And the neighborhood! Right across the street is the Governor General's residence and gardens, open from dawn to dusk, with beautiful grounds and views out to the Straight. On a scale of 1-10, we give Abbeymore Manor a 20!

I wish I could give Abbeymoore 10 stars because it deserves it. Everything is first class here: the accomodations, food, and hospitality are all over-the-top. Ian is a charmer and has found his calling as an Innkeeper....he couldn't do enough for us! You won't be disappointed.

We couldn't have picked a better place to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary! Abbeymoore is situated in a very convenient and beautiful neighborhood of Victoria. From the moment we set foot on the property Anne and Ian made us feel a special part of their family. Their inn is comfortable and feels like home away from home. And the food......oh my goodness! The breakfasts were creative and absolutely delicious!!! We will definitely be returning!

My sweetie and I stayed three nights at the Abbeymoore this summer and highly recommend it. It is a charming B&B in a beautiful old home, impeccably maintained and spotless. What is even more special about it are the innkeepers. Ian is born to the role - welcoming, jovial and ready with all the information or requests you might have for transportation, tickets, restaurants, etc. It’s not just about providing good customer service for him; it’s that he truly enjoys being helpful in any possible way. Breakfast is prepared by Anne. Can you actually call breakfast “gourmet”? These were delicious, individually prepared, fresh and unique offerings. We were in BC for 9 days eating at fine restaurants each night and we agreed that Anne’s two breakfasts fell into our top four meals of the trip. And there are fresh cookies each afternoon! It is not downtown, but walk up to Fort St nearby for frequent and easy bus service.

We had high hopes for the Abbeymoore--and it far exceeded our expectations! Ian and Anne (and Jennifer and Emily) went above and beyond in every way. From the glasses of port when we checked in, to the beautiful house, to the lovely balcony adjoining our room (the Iris Room), to the luxurious sheets on our bed, to the delicious two-course breakfast served on the patio, it made our trip to Victoria unforgettable.

Abbeymoore was perfection in every way, wouldn't change a thing. Our hosts were charming and helpful, particularly with a restrictive diet. Can't wait to return.

Absolutely amazing stay, would go back anytime and actually stay longer. Excellent breakfast. Impeccable service greeted us every day. Beautiful Victorian inn, best location.

My wife and I visited Victoria only one day, and so we stayed just one night at the Abbeymoore Manor. The house is very beautiful, full of carpets and nice pieces of furnitures. It is in a marvelous area where it seems that houses have been built inside a park. The atmosphere at Abbeymoore is quiet and relaxed, and so friendly, thanks to the hosts: Ian, Anne and Michelle are very nice persons. The familiarity with which we have been received by Ian, Anne and Michelle is really unusual. Ian is always smiling and gives you a fresh wave of joy. He has been so kind as to accompany us to the Royal BC Museum and he even found the time to make a round trip for allowing us some sightseeing of Victoria. We liked very much our room, the Rose Room: it is elegant and spacious, with ample windows, and very silent. The only breakfast we had, prepared by Anne and Michelle, was no less than delicious. We wish we were there now, and we will be there again, sooner or later.

We had a fantastic time in Victoria. Ian immediately made us feel at home and basically helped us set our itinerary for the entire trip. He told us where to go for lunch. We did... perfect suggestion... He told us where to go for dinner... Made us reservations... perfect suggestion. I will absolutely stay there the next time I am in Victoria!

We love the ambience and amenities of the Abbeymoore. It's beautiful without being pretentious, and the food and snacks are delicious and plentiful. It's really the nicest B&B we have everstayed in, and we highly recommend it.

My stay at the Abbeymore was wonderful! They have created a environment which made me feel right at home, opening up the front sitting room to guest, allowed me to meet fellow guest and chat about our travel experiences, the food was delicious and the sherry and treats where great for late night snacking.

We stayed for a weekend in May and loved Abbeymoore. Ian and Anne were very gracious hosts and provided great sightseeing/tourist tips. The house itself is beautiful; we had a choice of a few different rooms, and all options were equally charming. It's far enough out of downtown to feel like you're getting away from hustle & bustle, but still close enough to walk into town (about 15 minutes, but it's flat). The neighborhood it's in is gorgeous and gave us plenty to look at and enjoy right near the house (Gov't House garden and Craigdarroch Castle were both great). Between the delicious breakfasts, the guests' living room with TV, snacks, port wine, and ready-to-be-lit fire, we felt right at home. Staying at Abbeymoore really made it a great trip for us- so much cozier and fun than staying at a hotel!

We have stayed at B&B's all over the US and in several European countries and Ann and I both think Abbeymoore is the best we've seen. Your home is very comfortable, all needs met, and the breakfast meals surpass anything we've experienced. We also thank you for being you, the perfect innkeeper. It was a pleasure to meet you.

Our stay at Abbeymoore Manor B&B was a visit back to a lovely and gracious era. The inn is located in a beautiful historic section of Victoria and offers several major attractions within easy walking distance. Our hosts were charming and always most helpful, but never intrusive. The inn was immaculate and furnished true to the period. Breakfasts were a real highlight and our hosts easily accommodated our request for a special diet with some delicious and creative offerings.

My husband and I stayed here for our 10 year anniversary trip. Over the years we've stayed at 15+ B&Bs all over the U.S. This one is definitely one of our favorites - we loved it and would recommend it to anyone. The inn keeper was the cherry on the top - he was extremely fun/helpful/pleasant and he made the stay! Thank you! Oh, and one more thing my husband wanted to make sure I add - the bed sheets are WONDERFUL! GREAT night sleep!

Ian and Anne were delightful hosts serving us through food and treats, reservations, recommendations, and the finest place I have ever stayed. The Inn is a historic delight with superb care to details, clenliness, and restoration of a classic structure.

Abbeymoore Manor was the perfect spot. We had garden suites with kitchens, the living room was a lovely setting for the wedding, and breakfasts were unbelievable. So highly recommend this place.

The Abbeymoore Manor B&B is something you have to experience for yourself, words alone do not convey how fablous our stay was. Anne & Ian treat you as royalty when serving the best breakfast I have ever enjoyed at a B&B.

This is a lovely craftsman property, with the option of historical rooms to a to stay in modern, newly renovated studio suites. We have stayed in many B&B's and the facilities were among the best. BUT, nice places can be found round about, I would imagine. What makes this truly extraordinary are the innkeepers Anne and Ian. They are true professionals - genuinely committed to making our stay a special experience. From the truly exceptional breakfast to the kind willingness of tom to help in anyway, they make the experience unique. Abbeymoore is a sure bet.

Abbeymoore feels like home with clean, comfortable beds, helpful staff, gourmet breakfast and beautiful house. We have come back time and time again.

Delightful Experience! Extra touches make this an exceptional experience! Romantic Rose Room with lovely bedding, a fireplace and sitting area including a comfy leather couch - just a wonderful experience~~ Ian was a perfect host and helped us out with our day trips and chose us a fancy restaurant to celebrate our 33rd wedding anniversary in. Highly recommend this lovely inn.

Abbeymoore is a beautiful home, very cheerful and friendly host and a most delicious gourmet breakfast! We highly recommend it!

Our four day stay in Victoria was enhanced wonderfully by staying at Abbeymoore Manor. A lovely bit of heaven in a beautiful location in Victoria, it was a glorious experience overall. The hosts, Ann, Ian & Michelle, could not have been more gracious or accommodating. The breakfasts were works of art, healthy and filling. A wonderful experience worthy to be shared!

We had two days to get away for a little trip before our third baby was due. We wanted to relax and yet have some exciting things to do as well to make the most of our trip. The location is great. Abbeymoore is also only 5 minutes walk from Craigdarroch Castle, a Victoria must see. The breakfasts were delicious, there was round the clock complimentary hot drinks, snacks and cold drinks in the fridge. Every effort was made to make our stay pleasant and we were absolutely satisfied with our stay. We'd recommend it to anyone and can't wait to go back.

Fantastic location, gardens, friendly and knowledgable hosts who go the extra mile. This was our last B&B after a 4 week trip in Canada and Alaska - it was also one of the best. My wife and I particularly liked our spacious and nicely decorated room as well as the comfortable guest lounge and facilities. We stayed 2 nights and walked into town to fabulous restaurants suggested by our hosts.
