..and so on! Prancing Horse simply blew us away, from the moment we drove up the drive! The pictures on the website are exactly what greets you- you don't have to go searching for a spot to "get a good view". The rooms and home are truly warm, comfortable and oh so inviting. Not to mention Laura Lee and Wendy! Anything we needed was provided (and then some!) and we certainly didn't leave the breakfast table hungry or wanting more! Breakfasts were delicious and conversations were delightful! This place seemed like something from a storybook; gorgeous colours all over the grounds, unbelievable views and quaintness in every corner! A beautiful location, comfortable accommodations and genuine kindness from everybody made our stay at Prancing Horse one we will never, ever forget! When back in the area, there is no doubt...we will stay again! (Oh and of course, Annie! She was the first one to greet us and made us feel welcome immediately! Miss her already!)

This was one of the best B&B experiences I've ever had! My husband and I stayed here recently as part of our honeymoon trip to British Columbia, and wished we could have stayed longer. The view was absolutely amazing! I am an extremely light sleeper, but could not understand the complaints about the noise from the road. We could not hear it at all from our room, and I slept better in their comfy bed than I had in a while. Personally, I loved that the inn was easily accessible to the main highway and only about 20 minutes from Victoria, yet seemed so isolated. We paid $180/ night for the honeymoon suite, which I thought was more than reasonable. A lot of B&B establishments I've visited have been quaint but not updated or luxurious; Prancing Horse was the perfect combination all these factors. Breakfast was brought out to us on the patio each morning: omelets, stuffed croissants, etc. Highly recommended; we will definitely be back!

My wife and young daughter along with another mother with her young daughter found themselves suddenly caught on the Malahat on their way to Victoria because of a tanker truck accident on the highway. With no place to go, darkness creeping in and two small children to care for, Prancing Horse came to the rescue! Elaine and her staff graciously welcomed our bedraggled travelers -even at a very late hour, put them up in beautiful and comfortable rooms and generally took great care of them.
Thank you for your outstanding last-minute hospitality, you really came through for us. Looking forward to enjoying a more relaxed and planned stay with my wife.

I was a little nervous after reading the other negative reviews but will usually give anything a try. I am so glad that we did. We were going to stay at the Malahat Mountain Inn for our 5 yr anniversary but when given a second quote and rudely dismissed I went on a search for something better.I found the Prancing Horse on the internet, saw the beautiful B&B and knew this was it! We showed up just after check in with a sign from Elaine (the owner) that told us exactly where to go. Then we met with Laura lee (the care taker) who showed us to our room right away. She showed us how things in the room worked. showed my husband the great selection of movies, asked us what time we would like breakfast and just overall was very friendly. She then left us to enjoy our time together. It was very comfortable being there and the #4 Luxury Suite was unbelievable. Perfect for anyone wanting a romance getaway. For dinner we went to a very nice restaurant in Shawnigan called "Steeples" a church that has been transformed into a restaurant it was really neat and the food was delicious. It was just the two of us when we returned. The soaker tub is big enough for two and they have a t.v mounted that you can turn to wherever you are in the room. Everything you would need is there. The views are breathtaking and you would not be disappointed. The breakfast we were served in the morning by Laura lee was above and beyond what we expected (fresh cut fruit, yogurt, granola, freshly baked croissants, tea coffee, orange juice and then to top it all off the best eggs benny we've ever had...and its my favourite so I've had it a lot. I believe anyone who stays here will love it just like we did...We cant wait to return. Thank you so much for everything!!!
