My husband and I experienced one of the most memorable stays at Thistle Down, we were celebrating our 30th anniversary. Ruth, Rex and yes Tosh made us feel right at home, the food was superb and the room (under the apple tree) amazing! You would go for the comfort and beauty but you would return because of Ruth and Rex. more

The ThistleDown House was recommended to us by my sister and her husband, and we couldn't have been happier with our stay there. I only wish that we could have stayed longer! Rex, Ruth, Liz and the lovely Scottish Terrier, Tosh, were all so lovely and welcoming. You cannot help but feel good in their presence! We definitely felt taken... more

Ruth, Rex and Tosh were excellent hosts. The Thistledown is exactly what we were expecting and more. Rex met us with an inviting smile, a warm pot of tea, and homemade pie! We were only there for one night but it was an excellent location, easy access to downtown Vancouver and beautiful wilderness for hiking minutes away. The breakfast was... more

My wife and I spent time at ThistleDown House during mid-october 2009. We've stayed at various B&B's over the past dozen or so years, some good, some so-so. One of the most important aspects of a B&B is whether the owners make you feel like a stranger invading their own private house or if they are inviting, caring, helpful, friendly... more

Ruth, the owner is an extraordinary nice and helpful person, also the rest of the staff. You feel like you are at home. The breakfast is very great. The house is located at Capilano Rd., it's a very frequented road, but it doesn't really matter because the windows of our room (Sweet Tibby's) look into a very beautiful and peaceful... more

This was certainly one of the best experiences we've ever had staying somewhere outside our own home. This was our honeymoon destination - the first night we ever spent together, and we were stunned by the friendly atmosphere, the beautiful, elegant décor, and the charming host and hostess. Their experience in classy lifestyles shows - everything is beautiful. I hope... more

We had a perfectly delightful stay with Rex and Ruth in this extraordinary B&B. Breakfasts were wonderful - excellently prepared and beautifully presented. Their stories and personal engagement transformed our four day stay into a warm and welcoming experience. This one was very hard to leave. We cannot wait to return. Michael & Linda more

This B&B was simply amazing! They do a 3 course prepared breakfast every morning, of which all 3 courses are excellent on their own. Their location is excellent, just outside the city's main areas, in a fairly relaxing area of North Vancouver. The inn keepers are extremely helpful and knowledgable when it comes to recommending places to go, things to... more
