    What a wonderful experience! This place is so beautiful and unique. I stayed in 2 different rooms, each with their own unique flair. I felt so pampered there, and yet, the price is so affordable! I haven’t slept in a more comfortable bed in a long...

Company info

The historic manor house at 1 Cook Street, which provides heritage lodging for visitors to Victoria, began with an ambitious and talented Vancouver Island resident, Arthur Lineham. Arthur and Eleanor Lineham built their family home at 1 Cook Street in 1912. In 1978 Derek Dashwood purchased 1 Cook Street and converted the building into a bed and breakfast in the late 1980s.

Neighborhood info

Dashwood Manor is located in the Fairfield neighbourhood, known for Cook Street Village, a walkable strip featuring laid-back eateries with sidewalk patios and small indie shops. Stalls crammed with local produce and crafts fill the weekly Moss Street Market, held outdoors in summer. Rows of century-old homes lead to the sea, where Clover Point Park has dramatic views of the Olympic Mountains, and Ross Bay Cemetery marks the burial spot of prominent citizens.
