“We loved Thyme Away”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2010

We stayed at Thyme Away during our summer holiday to Canada. We loved Vancouver Island and adored staying with Barb and Marcel at Thyme Away. The house is beautiful and very relaxing. We spent two nights there and recharged fully. We visited the old country market, of goat fame; walked along the deserted beach and Englishman river falls. The second day we relaxed around the pool and had time to read and take in the sun and sweet country air. As so many others have said, the breakfast at Thyme Away was wonderful, Marcel is an expert in the kitchen. Barb is a lovely woman, and in a relaxed and motherly way she made us feel that we were relatives visiting for a few days. Excellent, excellent place. I hope we can go back soon. .

“A wonderful warm welcome”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 August 2010

Our stay with Barb and Marcel was undoubtedly a highlight during our visit to Canada. Thyme Away is truly a home from home and our only regret was that we could not spend longer there. It is so comfortable and the breakfasts were fantastic, beautifully prepared and presented. The alpacas and deer added to the lovely peaceful rural setting and we just wish that it wasn't so far from home. Hope we can return one day.

“A perfect getaway at Thyme Away”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2010

We so enjoyed our stay with our congenial hosts, Barb and Marcel, at Thyme Away. Our accommodations were charming and immaculate. Breakfasts were generous and extremely tasty with very fresh local ingredients. We spent a perfect drowsy, rose-scented afternoon by the pool. One of the highlights of our visit was feeding the three resident alpacas. We felt like family here. We highly recommend this B&B and hope to stay there again.

“Great place to relax and enjoy the island”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 July 2010

We booked our stay based on other reviews and phone calls to Barb. We'd never been to the island, or even to a B&B, and wanted a place centrally located to explore on our own timetable. Thyme Away was absolutely perfect! Barb & Marcel made us feel at home right away. The room was comfortable and the guest lounge area very cozy. Having a pool to come back to after a day of hiking, exploring or shopping, was a great treat. We enjoyed the quiet area, and the alpacas and deer in the area. Very relaxing!
We found we didn't need lunch after Marcel's huge & delicious breakfasts, and Barb had good recommendations (and sometimes coupons) for places to go for dinner.
We'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a laid-back base to enjoy the island.

“A peaceful, friendly place to relax and enjoy what the area has to offer.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 July 2010

Our family of four rented the two-bedroom cottage for two nights in June 2010. It was the perfect, relaxing spot in which to unwind after a hectic several months of work. Reading on the porch of the cottage, watching the alpaca, playing bocce with my teenage son provided some much-needed downtime. Barb is so warm and welcoming that you feel as if you've made her day. The breakfasts were delicious and plentiful, the cottage was comfortable and we appreciated Barb's recommendations about restaurants in the area and things to see.
