Anne's is a wonderful bed and breakfast in a magnificent setting on Salt Spring Island, high on an ocean-front bluff with views towards the forested and mountainous Vancouver Island. My wife and I would highly recommend this for anyone who appreciates friendly, professional, and congenial hosts, comfortable rooms, spectactular views, and delicious breakfasts.
Anne and Rick had formerly successfully operated a motel in southern Alberta before building this home, about 15 years ago, specifically to serve as a bed and breakfast. Each guest room consists of a large bedroom with a sitting area, kitchenette, and well-appointed bathroom with jacuzzi tubs. These second-floor rooms are accessible by stair and elevator, and each has an ocean or forest view. The remainder of the house available for guest use include a well-stocked library, a large dining room, a bright living room overlooking the ocean, and a wrap-around deck with spectactular views. Outdoor spaces include a zig-zag paved walk down to the rocky water's edge, a great place for relaxing (and watching the many starfish in the water).
Anne and Rick are warm and friendly hosts, quite ready to join their guests at the breakfast table, while also providing all the privacy their guests may wish. Breakfasts are like none other we have experienced at a B&B (or at many commercial restaurants, for that matter): each course was well-presented and delicious, and each morning's offering was a wonderful surprise. Breakfast at Anne's is not a time to bolt down your food and rush off: we all enjoyed our time sharing travel stories with one another and getting to know our fellow guests for the time we were there.
Anne's makes Salt Spring Island a destination well worth considering.
