IslandSkye Bed and Breakfast

Paul and Val were incredible hosts! They had me at the first waft of freshly baked Fireweed honey bread, as soon, as we entered the house. They were very welcoming and did everything to make you feel comfortable and at home. The place is very clean with many amenities and a beautiful view of Quamichan Lake, where the Canadian rowing team had started to train during our stay. Paul’s cooking is incredible! Every morning we felt like a King and Queen with the array of fresh fruit and delectable home cooked goodies laid before us on his Mothers’ heirloom Royal Albert china, painted with familiar scenes of Canadian Birch trees. Loved it! Paul was also very knowledgeable of the Cowichan area, as well as, the greater Vancouver Island. During breakfast, he would grace us with little stories on the history and heritage of the Cowichan area, drawing us into its quaint characteristics and igniting our curiosity to explore more of the region. The overall feel of the place was one of warmth and replenish. Our only regret is that we didn’t have more time to share in the company of these lovely people. Thank you Paul and Val.

My husband and I, along with my uncle, recently stayed here on a trip to British Columbia, and I have to say, this was our favorite out of all the places we stayed during our almost two-week trip. The b&b is very clean and spacious, with beautiful views of the garden and the mountains beyond. Our hosts, Paul and Val, were very welcoming from the moment we arrived, sharing delicious wine, cheeses and wonderful conversation with us every evening, which we thoroughly enjoyed. They gave excellent recommendations for dinner and we would come back to our room each evening to find a night-cap and freshly baked treat waiting for us outside of our rooms. Such a nice touch! The freshly-made gourmet breakfasts were also delicious. We were thoroughly impressed with Island Skye and hope to visit again one day. Thank you for everything, Paul and Val!

This was a fabulous B&B!! One of the best we have ever stayed at. The hosts added so many extra touches. All the food was gourmet made from scratch delicious!!

Beautiful spot! The gardens are gorgeous, the room was spotlessly clean, the breakfast delicious, and all the little details thought of. We will definitely be back! Thanks Paul and Val!

From the moment we arrived at this beautiful B & B, till the time we departed, we had a phenomenal experience. The setting was exquisite with beautiful gardens and a spectacular view of the lake and mountains. The owners, Val and Paul, were so gracious and welcoming. We stayed in the Garry Oak Room with a gorgeous panoramic window view. The bed was super comfortable and the bathtub is perfect for soaking in.
The attention to detail was impeccable... from the delicious homemade cookies and blueberry brandy in our room the night we arrived to the tasty, nutritious gourmet breakfast the next morning.
This is one of the best B & B's we have stayed in to date and highly recommend it to everyone!
