We had 2 nights with Becky & Bob at the beautiful John Lewis House. We absolutely loved it, and Becky & Bob are so welcoming and helpful. Breakfast, as others have said, is an absolute treat to set you up for the day: granola, fresh fruit, yoghurt, fruit juice, Becky’s daily changing hot dish, toast and then freshly made &... More

I was in Victoria for a quick two-night stay. I unfortunately did not have much time to spend at the John Lewis House, but what little time I had was wonderful. The hosts were helpful, discreet, and all-around charming. I was treated to a breakfast fit for a queen, even on the second morning, when I had to eat and... More

My boyfriend and I had planned a trip to Victoria, BC back in August. We had originally booked a stay at Oceans Island Inn Garden Suites although when we arrived and attempted to check in, we were told that the hotel overbooked us and had called all over town to try to find us accommodation on what is considerably the...

We (my parents) recently stayed at John Lewis House B&B in Victoria, BC for five days. This is a lovely Heritage House, convenient to downtown and the ocean. We had a very clean and comfortable bedroom and private bath. Also there is a nice sitting room for guests to read or watch television. Excellent breakfast was provided with homemade granola,...

After all the enthusiastic comments on Trip Advisor we arrived with very high expectations indeed at the John Lewis House. – But Becky and Bob managed to surpass even that! Looking back, the 2 nights in Victoria were the best of our 3 weeks with 11 accommodations in Canada. We stayed in a lot of lovely places, but I guess... More

We stayed at the John Lewis House B&B for one night in August 2012. We arrived too early from the ferry to check-in, but the owners, Becky and Bob, let us leave our car in their driveway and our luggage inside the house so that we could explore the city without worrying about parking. John Lewis House is conveniently located... More

The John Lewis House truly lived up to all the positive reviews. We stayed for two nights and wished we'd had more time. The rooms were spotless and very cosy, while the bathrooms are just outside the rooms, they are completely private. The breakfasts were amazing and Becky and Bob were the perfect hosts, very informative and extremely friendly. Victoria... More

Stayed for 2 nights in this excellent accommodation. Becky and Bob are lovely hosts, so helpful and informative. Bedrooms are quite small but perfectly adequate, as is the private bathroom to each room. The breakfasts are awesome! Location is good, only a 15 min walk to the inner harbour. Would recommend to anyone on a short stay in Victotia.

We stayed for two nights at this lovely B&B just a few blocks from the Inner Harbor/Downtown area and two blocks in the other direction from the water. The B&B is small, with two lovely & cozy rooms on the second floor. The bathrooms are private, but not en suite (the bathroom doors is off the hallway just adjacent to... More
