the house and the location is nice, the breakfast is great, but... we arrived to check in at 5pm - like we appointed per mail. When we arrived, nobody was there to let us in and so we had to phone to get the host. she wasn´t availible because her mobile didn´t work, so we had to wait about one... More

We stayed at Trutch Manor recently and it was clean and had every thing we needed in the suite, which is appointed in a Victorian period style. The bed was a creaky but comfy double sized bed, and the shower was knee height due to a slanted ceiling. My first thought was "this is great" but then I remembered that... More

My husband booked a suite, letting the owner know that we would arrive at 10:30 pm. She said she would leave a key under the mat, a post-it on the door, but to find, she said to call her at 10:30. When we arrived, we called... and didn't answer. The only apartment with a key under the door was filthy,... More

If you've stayed here before, you will be disappointed. the house is the same beautiful place with great rooms and location, but... the new owner has had it long enough that she should have the bugs worked out, but she hasn't. we arrived to check in at 4:50pm and had to phone to get the host. she was shopping, so...

Trutch Manor has been sold. Les and Marilyn are no longer involved in any way. We've stayed there several times a summer for eight years. We will miss Les and Marilyn as our inn keepers, and we wish them well. The new owners have a very tough act to follow. It will be difficult for them to keep the standards... More

What an incredible place to bookend my 8 day motorcycle adventure from Seattle across the heart of British Columbia and down Vancouver Island. Les and Marilyn were incredible, gracious hosts. Les made this middle aged biker and his iron horse feel right at home, and Les' dry sense of humor was a real treat. His recommendation for dinner at the... More

Within walking distance to down town, but on a quiet street. We had never stayed at a B&B, but this sounded too good to pass up. Les was very helpful with site seeing routes and dinner ideas. Marilyn's breakfasts were gourmet quality and beautifully arranged. Other house guests were return guests, so we got a lot of helpful information about... More

I find it puzzling that so many people give this B & B 5 stars. Yes there are a lot of good things going for it (it is very clean and comfortable for a start), but like a few of the previous reviewers I found that Les's attitude left a lot to be desired. We arrived late (about 8 pm)... More

We just returned from a week's stay at Trutch Manor in Victoria, it was great! Trutch Manor is a beautiful Victorian mansion located about 5 blocks from downtown, within walking distance of local shops, restaurants, Beacon Hill Park, Government House and the ocean - no need to rent a car here. Les and Marilyn Tipton are terrific hosts, making us... More
