I've stayed at Ashby House several times now over the last 5 years and keep coming back. For me, too, this is a home away from home. I can't imagine staying anywhere else, if I have the choice, for a number of reasons: First of all Mary Anne and Robin are wonderful hosts with lots of stories to share, and... more

This was the first time I've stayed in a B&B. The experience was wonderful. The hosts made everyone feel right at home and there was no set time for breakfast.... a B&B that isn't stuffy nor up tight. The decor was tastefully done in the style and age of the house (1899, victorian). The location was awesome, centerally located in... more

Ashby House is one of life’s shining gifts. The host team of MaryAnne and Robin are warm, intelligent, vastly experienced at B&B-ing, and intriguing, centered people to be with. The Victorian-Edwardian house seems to put its arms around visitors. King Cat Sampson is serene and invisible if you’re not a catperson, or available for lots of cuddling if that’s your... more

Who ever is looking for a warm and unique place in the best location in town should try the Ashby house. The breakfast is wonderful. The hosts (people and animals) are very sympathetic. I am keep coming back! more

When we first arrived at Ashby House we were greeted by the welcoming hosts, Mary Anne and Robin, as well as their wonderful cat Sampson. The house is located right downtown, just minutes away from great shopping (Robson street) and relaxed walks on the beach. I have to say, my favorite part of our stay was the breakfast. Every morning... more

We'd stayed at several B&B's in the past, and have always enjoyed them for their comfortable accommodations, hearty breakfasts, and host insights into the area. Not here! When we first arrived the owner told us their friend decided to visit during our stay and they decided to give her the room we had reserved MONTHS in advance - which was... more

Step back in time. Yes away from the shiny skyscrappers of "new" Vancouver remains a little oasis. An olde worlde home & way of life. Ashby house, over 100 years old& the timbers holding up well. An unusual restful place in a busy city. Met some fab interesting people during my weeks stay here in June 2006. Nothing was too... more

Finally, a bed and breakfast that isn't uptight! It is fabulous to have found Ashby House and I am always telling people about it. You can eat breakfast whenever you want, you can come and go as you please and the conversation is excellent. I highly recommend Ashby House. You will enjoy it immensely. Hosts Robin and Mary Ann are... more

I travel for a living, I've been across this country numerous times. Dealing with smelly places, communication barriers, and bad service is common place and those are just the cabs. If I never smell a bleached towel again, have a maid walk into the room when the "Do Not Disturb" sign is hanging or wonder why my non smoking room... more
