“Relaxing retreat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 August 2009
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed in the King room and were very pleased with our stay. The whole place is decorated beautifully and it's in a quiet neighborhood but convenient to all the attractions. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. We took advantage of the tea and cookies for a night time snack while enjoying the jetted tub with bubble bath purchased in town. Very clean and well maintained. Owner very helpful with suggestions, but gives you your privacy. We had a wonderful stay.

“Caring Hosts - Great Location!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2009

Cammie and Daniel were very kind to give us ice when one of us sprained an ankle and special attention when the other of us had an upset stomach.
Scholefield House is in a quiet neighborhood, but it's still an easy to walk to all the downtown attractions and Craigdarroch Castle.
Our room was spotless and nicely decorated, with comfortable beds and heaters that worked quickly. On top of that the breakfasts were wonderful and filling, the organic coffee great, and there were many nice touches such as tea and homemade cookies and nuts and sherry in the afternoon.

“Just okay”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 September 2006

people found this review helpful

I would say the best thing about the Scholefield House is the location, which is a 5-10 minute walk to downtown, depending where you are going. The breakfasts were nothing fancy, items that you could easily make at home (scrambled eggs). The rooms were nicely decorated, but bathroom could have been a little cleaner. Only provided bar soap. Inkeepers were a little cold at times, didn't feel terribly welcome here. Overall, didn't feel the experience was worth the price paid.

“The Perfect Wedding”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 July 2006
2
people found this review helpful

You'd expect a cozy victorian nestled in the heart of Victoria to be charming. You'd be right. Where Scholefield House surprises you is in the myriad of personal touches. This makes Scholefield House the ideal place for a small wedding where the emphasis is on personal.

We were looking for something quintessentially victorian. What we found exceeded our hopes. From the immaculately maintained grounds, including a lovely english garden to the perfectly appointed rooms - this is a showpiece of idealized victorian restoration.

In all respects, George and Tana embrace the style and substance of the era and amended it to include the modern comforts. The beds are certainly the most comfortable we've slept on in any hotel or inn in many years, and that includes the high priced lodgings that emphasize their luxury bedding. Many of the pieces are antiques, and beautifully maiintained. The jacuzzi bath was the ideal tonic from the day's activities - and a completely unexpected feature in such a reasonably priced inn.

Each morning, we were greeted with fresh coffee, fresh fruit and a wonderful breakfast. In the evenings, there's sherry and light snacks in the lovely sitting room. It's warm and friendly and the most restful atmosphere. I'm not a morning person, so George and
Tana thoughtfully provided coffee just outside our door.

The location is ideal, as well. I'm somewhat disabled and can walk only short distances. Yet, I was able to manage the short walk to Victoria's stunning Inner Harbour, Antique Row and wonderful restaurants with very few problems. Even when we needed taxis - they arrived within moments and were very affordable.

George and Tana are gracious and generous hosts who guided me through all the steps of getting our marriage license, finding a marriage commissioner, finding a fantastic restaurant for our rehearsal dinner and handled all the aspects of our wedding. It was a beautiful family event - and stayed within our budget. They know everyone, and it seems they can solve any problem quickly, easily, and cheerfully. Do you want to be met at the Ferry port by a horse-drawn carriage? No problem. Want arrangements for a seaplane to take you to Vancouver Airport? No problem. Want dinner for 12 at one of Victoria's best restaurants with prix fixe, customized menus? No problem. That's how good they are.

The best way to experience Victoria is on foot, and the way to enjoy it best is to stay close enough to where you can walk it without being in the midst of all the hotels and the noise. Scholefield House provides the ideal setting for rest and relaxation combined with convenient access - and the most intelligent, gracious hosts you'll find.

Thanks to George and Tana our wedding turned into something very memorable and we will be back to Victoria and to Scholefield House, as will our friends and family.
