Galiano in general is a hidden gem. And Swallow's Keep is the hidden gem within the hidden gem. Slow mornings with a coffee on the patio were accompanied by the herd of sheep and roosters calling out.
4:30pm(ish) is feeding time for the sheep. We hand fed them carrots while the dogs ran about. Lots of acreage to explore and views of Trincomali channel, facing the sunset.
Wood stove was cozy at night. BBQ worked great and the kitchen has gas elements and all the utensils you'd need, including cast iron pans. A chef's dream, really.
I could go on, but if you're reading this review and the ones I read, I'm sure you get the idea, that this place is special.
