“A little oasis of calm”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 June 2007
3
people found this review helpful

We chose Anchor Point B&B on Saltspring island as a base to relax after longhaul flight from Europe to Vancouver and charge up for two months of travelling through BC and the Rockies. It was perfect. Lynne and Ralph have recently converted the basement area into a self-contained studio apartment with patio, garden access and sea views and our two nights at Anchor Point were a real treat. Breakfast was delivered each morning with lashings of fresh fruit and delicious home baking. Good recommendations were dispensed freely in a warm and friendly fashion and evening soaks in the hot tub were just what the doctor ordered !

We would recommend Anchor Point very highly.

We would ;like to thank Ralph and Lynn for a wonderful stay at their
beautiful B&B. They thought of everything to make our stay most enjoyable. Robes and slippers for the Hot Tub. Mini fridge stocked
with pop, delicious appys at 5:00 p.m. every evening with refreshments. The Breakfast were to die for. A basket of assorted
warm biscuits & muffins followed by warm carmalized peaches on
yogurt and our entree baked fritta. A marvelous meal. Lynn gave us a paper bag to take along our left over muffins to enjoy during our day of exploring this wonderful Island of Salt Spring. Ralph was full
of knowledge about the Island and gave us some great tips on what to see, where to go, great recomendations on restaurants.
We will be back. There is so much we did not see on the Island.
We will stay at Anchor point on our next trip and look forward to enjoing all the great amenties it has to offer.
Thanks again Ralph and Lynn for a most enjoyable 2 days.

“Unbelievable - #1 in our books”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 August 2006

We have stayed at many B@B's but have never stayed at one like Anchor Point. Lynn and Ralph thought of every possible detail that a guest would want on a holiday. From the 3 course gourmet breakfasts, to the endless cookie jar, movies, music, hot tub and then the beautifully appointed bedroom that left nothing to be desired. Our room had every detail that I wished my own bedroom would have! Thank you Lynn and Ralph for making our holiday so memorable.We hope one day to return!

“Best B&B in the World!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 September 2005

Anchor Point is by far the best B&B I've found anywhere in the world: east coast, west coast, US, Canada, Europe, you name it.
The setting is quiet, lovely, relaxing, and near town. The rooms are comfortable and well appointed.
The common areas are relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable from the soft background music, to the Video/DVD room, to the hot tub, breakfast porch, and deck.
But what makes Anchor Point stand out is quite simply the proprietors: Lynn and Ralph Bischoff. Yes, the are gracious, completely knowledgeable about the events, locales, and personalities of the island. Yes, they welcome you warmly and are discrete and available. Yes, they can speak in a variety of language, about a huge range of topics, and with serious tones or jolly good humor.
Yet it is the caring, gentle nature of these folk that makes this truly a place I hate to leave.
And to top that: Lynn is the Julia Child of Breakfast.
If you want more than that, give it up. It doesn't exist.

“Re: Fabulous!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2005

Anchor Point B&B is a fabulous place to stay. The house is lovely - both inside and out. The owners have taken great care in making sure your stay is both memorable and special: daily newspapers, a fantastic array of books and movies, sherry and appetizers at 5pm, slippers and terry cloth robes, three course breakfasts - yum! I could go on and on.

We loved our room. It was a lovely, well furnished and comfortable space (especially the four poster bed!) It was a lot of fun to snuggle up and watching movies with popcorn and cookies – provided by our hosts.

But what I liked especially is that you are not limited to your room. Guests can freely access the entire upstairs portion of the house. There is a really cozy sitting room, tv room, kitchen and outside porch. The owners live downstairs in a separate private suite, so it is like having the house all to yourself! The view from the house is spectacular. And it is especially enjoyable when viewing from the hot tub!

The owners are very knowledgeable about the island and they are happy to give you advice on the best places to eat and visit. I also loved the proximity of the house to Ganges (essentially the centre of Salt Spring activity).

We are definitely going to go back. It was a very romantic and relaxing experience.
