We had an excellent stay at Willowbend. Linda is a lovely host! Her warm and friendly welcome was a very pleasant surprise after a long day of travel. And when we entered our accommodations we knew right away that we couldn't have chosen a better place to stay. I remember thinking to myself that if it rains all weekend, I would be quite content to stay indoors. There is a fireplace in the living area and another in the kitchen. And there is a covered area outside where I enjoyed the surroundings on a wet morning. Our cozy and quiet accommodation was the perfect home away from home and so spacious for two. And Linda thought of everything to make her guests feel welcome, including sweet personal touches like fresh flowers and homemade raspberry jam. It was our first visit to Sooke and she had some great recommendations for us too. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to Sooke and Willowbend!
