We just had the most relaxing anniversary stay at the cottage. Cozy, comfortable and spacious it had everything we needed. I was impressed but not surprised to see that every detail was thought through and prepared for the guests to enjoy. Set of lovely ( quality) wine glasses for indoors and a set of plastic ones for the hot tub.... More

Spend two night at this B&B and loved it! It's a beautiful house and the breakfasts were amazing. Also, they built a little nook for a nice secluded hot tub outside. It was a little outside of Sooke, so if you want to be in the "downtown" area, then you do need to drive. On a good note, the location... More

Wow! What a great experience. Lyall and Sally are very gracious hosts and what an amazing breakfast. It was like a hotel experience, yet all the benefits of a B & B. More

We weren't planning on staying in a B&B when we arrived in Sooke so we droved up just to "check it out" and immediately loved the place. Lyall and Sally made us feel completely welcomed. They gave us lots of great tips about site-seeing in Sooke and recommendations on where to eat. We signed on to stay one night but... More

The Markham House was a wonderful and unexpected surprise. The rooms are beautiful, the breakfasts are gourmet quality, the setting is several acres of English garden and the proprietors are charming, helpful and courteous. It was an overall magical experience. More

Our stay at Markham House was the end portion of a three part vacation - and now we wish we'd booked a longer stay! The home itself is in a fantastic location - very quiet, away from the city and so makes for an incredible night's sleep, and yet Victoria is a mere 30 minute drive away, should one want... More

I recently spent 3 days at the Markham House B & B. My husband and I spoke with Sally several times over the phone and received wonderful customer service. We knew we were in for a treat when we arrived with 7 members of our family last week. We were fortunate enough to rent the entire B & B and... More

We spent the previous night looking for BnBs on the internet, but web sites can't give the feel of a place. We wondered if Markham House could live up to the professional looking photos on their web site; in fact the experience is better in every way. The rooms are very nice, and the decor tasteful rather than twee (a... More

The Markham House is the gold standard by which I judge all other B & B's. Lyall and Sally set the bar so high, I almost feel sorry for other hosts. Totally relaxing, never formal or stuffy. They have great recommendations for things to do and see but are never intrusive. The house and gardens are beautiful and the breakfasts... More
