Belle Maison Auprès De La Mer

Had an amazing time, Great accommodations and Breakfast was great also, My wife really like the Coffee. Host were very helpful and provided brochures and advice on attractions in the area. We stayed in the 3rd floor, so had two flights of stairs but we did not mind that. Had access to an outside balcony which we enjoyed sitting outside and hearing the birds and looking at the nice view out to the bay. Landscape was also very nice. This is a great place to stay if you want to get away from the sound of traffic and just enjoy nature. Cleanliness of the place got an A++ from my wife and that is no easy feat.

Lovely grounds and the cabin was very cozy and well appointed.

We enjoyed staying in our charming, comfortable and spacious room. Also, we loved relaxing on the balcony and looking out at the pretty view. Ross and Ruthann were wonderful hosts. Breakfast was delicious.

Ross and Ruthanne were wonderful. Breakfast was perfect. Grounds were so beautiful Loved the balcony. Last night relaxing, morning coffee ( thank u Ross) and breakfast on the balcony… all perfect. Relaxing. Only thing to make it extraordinary would be like a wine tasting and sweets or something in the evening to enjoy outside, on balcony etc??!! Thank u again for a wonderful visit

Our short stay made us wish we had more time here. Gorgeous grounds and very friendly owners will bring us back for a longer stay next time we're on the island.

Wonderful hospitality, gracious hosts and beautiful setting. Lovely breakfast on the patio and gorgeous gardens. This is our third stay and we would happily return.

Ross greeted us right away and showed us to our cottage. Cute little place in a quiet area with a beautiful view and gardens. Ross was personable and friendly, walking us through the cottage and showing us where everything was. It was a great beginning to our stay!

It was a beautiful and serene location with a view of the water. Lovely flowers and seating areas. Breakfast was great and hosts were friendly. Thank you for a nice stay. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Extremely welcoming with a very special made to order breakfast served open air on the balcony overlooking the beautifully manicured garden.

Nice bed and breakfast. Very nice hosts. Had a wonderful breakfast at the balcony with beautiful views.

Great hosts. Friendly, super clean and a quite beautiful place to relax. Gorgeous gardens, close to all amenities and over all a joy to stay at. Thank you. Cheers Lorna. 😊

Was a very nice place. Room was clean and comfortable. Had plenty of places both inside and outside to sit and relax, though I didn't make use of any outside places due to allergies. Breakfast wasn't overly large, which I appreciated as someone that doesn't always eat breakfast to begin with. They were even kind enough to give me breakfast slightly earlier than their usual time frame so I could make my early boat and still enjoy the food.

Perfect! Room was clean, spacious, comfortable. Breakfast was delicious … really enjoyed the stay!

Beautiful and immaculate house and property.

We were able to relax in this beautiful setting. Our room was decorated beautifully, the place was spotless, and the breakfast was delicious. Our hosts were exceptionally kind and accommodating towards us when we were delayed unexpectedly. Thank you ! We enjoyed walking about the well kept gardens.

Lovely, clean quiet stay. Hosts are a wonderful, accomodating couple. Highly recommend!

very clean and modern

This was a great stay. The care we felt from the hosts was first rate all the way. It was super clean and super comfortable bed. It felt so special being served a great breakfast every morning on the balcony overlooking the ocean. The location to the ferry can’t be beat as it it about 5 minutes drive. We can’t recommend it enough!

Wonderful off the beaten path bed and breakfast. Quiet with good views of the ocean. Spacious room with comfortable bed. Ate breakfast on the balcony, it was amazing.

Bed was very comfortable. Extremely clean.

My husband and I were celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary. The property is beautiful, the surroundings are peaceful. However, I feel it’s important to share my experience to help other travelers who are considering this property No compassion - I suffered a severely sprained ankle two days prior to my arrival at this B&B, requiring an air cast. There was no ground floor room available when I contacted the B&B. I appreciated their quick response & decided to try to make it work Multiple stairs are mentioned on their website. But I did not realize the difficulty of the narrow outdoor stairss with no handrail, the polished wood stairs inside and having to walk down the hall to use the bathroom. After one night we realized we couldn’t safely stay. I shared this with the hosts the next day. Little was said apart from their caution that nothing would be available in the area on a holiday weekend. We found a beautiful suite in Victoria costing another $1000 No value or privacy if you stay in the Seaview Room. Room is small with 14” TV, no mini fridge, no ensuite. The bathroom is passed by the hosts and other guests. Balcony is shared with other guests, hosts are always around. More like a stay with parents than an anniversary. Basic breakfast that while thoughtfully prepared is more like what you could make at home. Not the elevated style of other B&Bs. You may enjoy your stay if you book the guest house room and order an elevated breakfast in

We really enjoyed our stay here! Everything was lovely and comfortable. Our hosts were very nice and accommodating. Beautiful B&B!

The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. Their home was beautiful and our room was also beautiful with a lovely view from the shared balcony. Delicious homemade breakfast.

Ross & Ruthanne are amazing hosts. The room was perfect and the getaway was exactly what we needed. Highly recommend this one!

This was a very ordinary stay in what was listed as a 5 out of 5 B&B on HOTELS.com. The photos on the website were not indicative of the room we were provided. Also, we often prefer to stay in B&Bs because they offer something different from hotels, snacks with tea in the evening for example. This offered very little apart from a home cooked breakfast. We were also disappointed on the lack of a clear sea view although the house was in an attractive area. Overall, the room we stayed in was not worth the price that we paid and there are many better places to stay in the same area at a lower price per night.

Great hosts. Friendly, super clean and a quite beautiful place to relax. Gorgeous gardens, close to all amenities and over all a joy to stay at. Thank you. Cheers Lorna. 😊

Wonderfully managed property. Lovely and welcoming surroundings. Personal service and excellent food. A real joy

Perfect 10 Accommodation, service, food and friendliness all add up to a great stay. It’s as simple as that. We had a great stay and would not hesitate to stay again.

We had a very nice room and excellent breakfasts. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend staying at this B&B.

The owners and hosts, Ruthann & Ross, are the Best that we've ever had in all our travels. They built this beautiful house from the ground up, and are sharing their love of home, family, friendship, and all that Canada represents. We were so fortunate to share and experience the Island hospitality with them. We chose wisely, and it was a fabulous experience thanks to them.

Easy access to Sidney. A beautiful house with a lovely garden. Loved hearing the birds in the trees. Friendly and helpful hosts. Recommended.

Wonderful off the beaten path bed and breakfast. Quiet with good views of the ocean. Spacious room with comfortable bed. Ate breakfast on the balcony, it was amazing.

Just a perfect location for our island getaway; so close to the ferries and the lovely little town of Sidney! Extremely friendly and accomodating service! The view was so tranquil!!

Great place, beautiful view. Great hosts.

It felt like a privilege to stay the night. The hosts made me feel like family, and the property was surrounded by beautiful gardens that provided a wonderful view. Situated on a quiet street but close to the ferry terminal made it very convenient and relaxing.

Pleasant walk nearby to a forest path leading to the waterfront. Hand delivered yummy breakfast by the owner to our cottage. Genteel and charming. Peaceful.

This property is beautiful inside and out. It overlooks the bay. It was very convenient to visiting the Butchart Gardens and darling town of Sydney. The home is decorated beautifully and you can enjoy the the lovely trees and flowers. Our hosts were very kind and served a delicious breakfast.

This property was very beautiful! The couple running the B&B was lovely and very helpful. The property is also centrally located, you’re a quick drive to Sidney, the airport or the ferry terminal.

We changed our plans and made same day reservations at Belle Maison Auprès De La Mers and so glad we did. We stayed in the cottage which was adorable and had all the comforts of home including French Press coffee, books, games, Roku tv, peace and quiet. Communication was excellent. The host gave us a tour of the cottage and shared all the important things. Breakfast was delivered to us in the morning and it was excellent. This isn't a pastry left at your door, but a big made to order breakfast. We couldn't ask for a better host. The ferry was close and we ended up being able to board the ferry an hour earlier than our reservation. I definitely would stay again and strongly recommend.

Enjoyed our recent 3 night stay at the Laburnum cottage. The accommodations were quite comfortable and certainly quiet. The cottage itself is nicely decorated and the hosts were very gracious (I got too used to having breakfast delivered on time every morning!).

Wonderful hospitality, gracious hosts and beautiful setting. Lovely breakfast on the patio and gorgeous gardens. This is our third stay and we would happily return.

We had a very nice room and excellent breakfasts. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend staying at this B&B.
