This is a fantastic bed and breakfast! We just loved the character of this property and the surrounding area. The owner, Sylvia, is an amazing baker/chef and genuinely took an interest in our plans and offered up places to see and places to eat. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay!
Was welcomed the first day to a warm and inviting room. The morning after at breakfast, upon updating a female staff of our intent to leave early the next day for our flight and check out process requirements, she insisted that we have not paid for our stay and was quite condescending on it. We pulled out our bank statement as proof that payment was made but her attitude left an unpleasant taste. That night, we went back to a room where it was absolutely freezing cold, lights in the hallway turnt off, it was like they “forgot” they had guests.
We will not be returning for sure.
Beautiful room and grounds. So scenic and peaceful with lots of nature. The food is excellent and staff attentive and caring. Our Host Sylvia is simply amazing. Keeps us returning year after year. Highly recommend!!!
We were so impressed with the property. Our room was amazing. The owners and staff were very attentive, friendly and had great suggestions for dining.
Definitely will come back. I highly recommend it.
This is a beautiful property in an interesting and walkable part of town, just steps from Government House and the public gardens there. The staff was very friendly, and the breakfast was unique and delicious.

Beautiful and serene garden where deer and rabbits roam! Spacious and bright suites and rooms with tasteful decor. Highlight is the 3 course breakfast, freshly made every morning by Silvia, just delicious!

We love the fairholme. It is beautiful, clean, well located adjacent to the lovely grounds of government house. The breakfasts are delicious. Christina, one of the staff, is delightful. Sylvia, the owner, offers customer service beyond compare.

Absolutely stunning both inside and out. The manor is impeccably well-kept, quiet and pristine. Perfect for a relaxing getaway and a delicious breakfast - well worth every penny!

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Very Overrated. Guys, don't go as per the reviews: very overrated rooms, views and breakfast. There is nothing special about the price you pay for the stay. Zero amenities. They have staff which I did not find very helpful. They charge you for breakfast, but it felt like they they were doing me a favour when serving it. Just book a nice big-name hotel, and you'll be fine.
DO NOT GO AS PER REVIEWS. IT CAN’T BE TRUE. JUST CAN’T BE.
Lovely property, very charming room in a quiet residential area near Government Where. We honestly loved everything about it - very good breakfast, friendly staff and a comfortable, quiet room. Highly recommended.

Thank you for your lovely review ! We were delighted to have you stay with us at Fairholme !
Wow! What a beautiful B&B! Our suite, #5-Tuscan, had it's own entrance toward the back of the main house. It was sparkling clean and very spacious. The bed was comfortable, the towels and linens were lovely, and the suite was pleasingly decorated. The breakfasts were all absolutely gorgeously plated and delicious! Our hosts were stellar: helpful and knowledgeable. If you enjoy heritage homes and B&B's, you will love your stay!
Fairholme Manor is a beautifully maintained heritage home in Victoria’s Rockland area. Each morning we were served sumptuous breakfasts which included home grown herbs and preserves. The owners and staff made us feel very welcome throughout our stay.
We LOVED the awesome five-star breakfast served in their lovely stately dining room. Best Ever! The hosts were so amicable and kind-hearted making one feel right at home.

Thank you for your lovely review ! We would be delighted to have you stay with us agin in the future !
Gracious hosts, Ross and Sylvia, were very eager to please and friendly. Their home was very inviting for a ‘Victorian Manor’ with a comfortable bed. Our garden-view room was somewhat cramped but that did not interfere with our stay. The location in a well-established neighbourhood amid ‘old-world’ estates made for some great walkabouts and was only a 25 minute walk from the harbour. The breakfasts were delicious, nutritious and well-presented.
