Hemingway's By the Sea

This is a very nice inn, well appointed room, breakfast is absolutely over the top. Charlie and Patty went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and have us lots of tips on what to see and do in the area.

This charming B&B is highly recommended, very clean and well appointed. Owners were extremely helpful in suggesting interesting places and parks nearby where we could take our 15 year old grandaughter. The breakfast was scrumptious...……………will definitely stay here again.

My husband and I stayed at Hemingway's for one week in the summer for vacation. The service was outstanding. We had breakfast at the B&B each morning and the hosts made home-made quiche and pastries each day. They also had yogurt and an amazing fruit selection, which was great for me (vegetarian). The hosts were also extremely helpful in planning activities. We like hiking and visited Sooke and many of the other areas around Victoria with day hikes. Chuck was knowledgeable and was able to provide us with maps to many of the places we visited. They also helped us with restaurants and other local attractions. The room was great. We stayed in the Serengeti Suite, which has a king size bed, a sitting area, and kitchen area with a microwave. The Hemingway suite was the same size and a bit more luxurious, but without the kitchen. The bathroom was generously sized with all the facilities one would expect. Windows could be left open to allow in the breeze and the sound of the seagulls. One of my favorite things about this B&B (other than the hosts, which were superb) was the location. It was about a 2 block walk to MacCauley Point, a beautiful walk along the Strait and an old fort. Saxe Point was also nearby and another nice walk along the water. I ran at the point several mornings and took some great pics at sunrise and sunset. I was even able to see seals basking on the rocks right off shore. It was a great experience and we would definitely return.
