We spent 5 nights at Honeysuckle Cottage, Markham House as guest of Lyle and Sally. Our accomodation was just beautiful. A secluded cottage in the grounds of this beautiful house and surrounding gardens. A great deal of thought and care has gone into the cottage, from the huge comfy sofa, the big fuffy towels and dressing gowns down to the... more

I travelled to Sooke for a family re-union and stayed with my sister at the Markham House B & B. It was just perfect. From the rooms to the grounds, you really couldn't ask for better accomodations. Everything was great - the beds were very comfy, nice touches such as robes & slippers, CD's and DVD's. The grounds are spectacular;... more

We stayed in the lovely Honeysuckle Cottage for 2 days during our time in Sooke and enjoyed every moment. The location is perfect - close to trails for hiking, biking, and running. The accommodations were welcoming and impeccably clean. Sally and Lyall were great hosts and Virgil the dog was an added bonus. If you like quiet, beautiful grounds, terrific... more

Our stay with Sally and Lyall, not forgetting Virgil, was one of the highlights of a lifetime of travel experiences. You will enjoy your stay from the moment you pass through the rustic gates to the final mouthwatering breakfast and your farewell. The Tudor style antique filled house is set in spacious and well kept gardens with a forest backdrop.... more

This is the perfect place to stay if you want to have a quiet, peaceful, scenic, luxurious getaway. The King-sized bed was incredibly comfortable, the breakfasts were delicious, the gardens and decor were amazing, the jetted tub was luxurious, and the hosts were friendly and helpful. It is also an easy drive into Victoria or to Port Renfrew. more

Six of us stayed at Markham House at the end of the Bentley Alaska Tour in June this year. The house and gardens are lovelly - as are the hosts, who made our stay most memorable. Sally's breakfasts are just wonderful! Located in a quiet backwater just off Highway 14 it is within half an hour of Victoria. It is... more

Wonderful room, hosts, and property. We felt like we had stepped out of reality and into a story book as we strolled through the gardens, or looked out our window. Our suite was much the same with a wonderful jacuzi, comfortable bed, and even a cribbage game to play. The breakfast was amazing. We would definitely stay here again. Thank... more

We just returned from a trip to Vancouver Island and highly recommend the Markham House. It's located in a large, beautiful garden a few miles east of Sooke. We don't usually stay at B&B's, so were pleased to find the hosts gracious, sincere, and accommodating, rather than pretentious. We enjoyed sitting in and walking around the garden, the hot tub... more
