This was the best B&B we've ever stayed at. Bill and Susan are delightful and we are so happy they shared their farm with us. Everything was perfect, from the beautiful setting, to the lovely room. There were lots of wonderful touches, like sherry in the room, fruit in the common areas (great after a long hike), and fresh flowers. I'd called ahead and asked if they had Scrabble (we were expecting iffy weather) and Bill put a game in our room before we arrived. Breakfast was wonderful and it was a real pleasure to get to talk with Bill and Susan in the mornings. We are so happy to have had the chance to stay at Turtleback Farm and hope to get back there soon. It made our trip to Orcas Island much more special.

Loved, loved, loved this place! It was so beautiful!! The setting was idyllic, with sheep grazing.Sat by the cozy fire at night. Had some great breakfasts. The owners are very personable and actually sat down with us and pointed out some highlights of the island on a map! They really cared about our stay.
Had a fantastic dinner at the Ship's Bay Inn - actually some of the best food we've ever had. There is a pub in Eastsound that is very good also.

After reading about those great breakfasts in reviews from other travelers, we made our reservation and couldn't wait! What a disappointment the food was, however. Breakfast consisted of some very dry and floury 'granola', that was tasteless. Next we were served soft-scrambled eggs with a few small pieces of ham in them and a little grated white cheddar on top along with three small triangles of toast. No potatoes or other meat. The eggs and the toast didn't taste bad, it just wasn't anything but ordinary. We also had a dish of fruit .....some cut up canteloupe with sliced banana and dried cranberries. There were no fresh berries, or even a grape. THE ENTIRE BREAKFAST WAS VERY DULL , UNATTRACTIVE and BORING. Needless to say, we left the second morning without our hot breakfast so we could get an earlier ferry back. For the price of our room, I just expected more than a cheap breakfast like that. The room was nice, the view was great. Bathroom was not so great. Difficult to get in and out of that high tub if you are older and water got onto the floor when we showered so we had to be careful not to slip. And we had to sop it up with towels.

This is a wonderfully cared-for old farmhouse with excellent accommodations and wonderful breakfasts. We ate on the back porch overlooking the meadow with grazing sheep and the mountains in the distance. A very peaceful setting about 10 minutes out of Eastsound. The room was well furnished and the linens were fine with a comforter made from the wool of the grazing sheep. A shower in a free-standing tub was a challenge but do-able. The hosts were quite friendly and helpful. There are no phones or TV but that was of no concern. Tasty blackberries abound on the property. The biggest drawback was a queen size bed. King beds are apparently available in a newer building on the property. I would highly recommend this B&B as a wonderful place to stay.
