Superb place to stay. Excellent food, rooms and service and above all friendliness and helfulness. Breakfast is an absolute delight with top qqalityfood served in a manner that allows the conversation to flow around the table. A delight!! more

My fiance and I chose Thistle Down after we saw photos of it online. The arts and crafts style was just so appealing--our kind of place. And we also got excited about the promise of a 3 course breakfast and had NO idea how stellar it was until we ate there. We came home and raved about the steelhead trout... more

I'm a frequent traveler to British Columbia. I've been to Vancouver at least 40 times in the past fifteen years. I have stayed at luxury hotels in the downtown and marina areas, but since I discovered Thistledown House in North Vancouver, I haven't stayed anywhere else. In fact, if they're booked on the dates I plan to visit, I change... more

Though a little long to get from downtown Vancouver to Thistledown using public transport ,this B and B is worth it. Rex and Ruth provide hospitality which is gentle, thorough and thoughtful. The breakfasts are worthy of any gourmet magazine cover and the rooms are individual and delightful. And should you want to stay where you are, the gardens are... more

This was the first time we had been to Canada, and we absolutely loved it! Staying at ThistleDown was the icing on the cake, and helped to make this the best holiday we have ever had. Ruth and Rex couldn't have been more friendly or helpful, and made us feel completely 'at home', and our room was very comfortable. The... more

Yet another return stay to Thistledown House. Our favourite room - Sweet Tibby - was ours for our seven night stay. The small sitting room between the bedroom and bathroom is an ideal place to sit and read upon returning from an evening meal - or to set up the computer to back up the masses of pictures that have... more

We stayed at the ThistleDown from Aug. 16 - 18, 2008 and really regretted that we couldn't stay longer (but there is so much more to see in beautiful British Columbia). The hospitality we received was beyond our expectations and the food at breakfast would easily get the highest star rating in a Michelin guide! The furniture at the ThistleDown... more

Just returned from 4 days at ThistleDown. All I can say is that it was way too short! We stay almost exclusively at b&bs rather than hotels as it really helps you get the flavor of an area. Our stay at ThistleDown was easily in our top 3 of any b&b we've ever stayed at. Ruth and Rex are fantastic... more

A lovely place to stay while visiting Vancouver, right across from Capilano Suspension Bridge and near lovely walks, we had a hire car, but, you can get into the city via a bus stop nearby! Also, the small town of Edgemont has a nice Bistro within walking distance as well as a local store, etc.,! The hosts, Ruth and Rex... more
