I couldn't recommend Alexandra's cottage more for a stay on Galiano Island. As described, the location is superb (walking distance to Sturdies Bay and hiking trails and is perfect as a starting point for bike trips around the island) and the cottage itself is charming (comfortable and cozy with a fully stocked kitchen). The cottage is situated on a gorgeous property with many places to sit and enjoy a meal or sip coffee in the morning. If you're lucky Alexandra's cat may stop by for a visit. Alexandra is a wonderful, knowledgeable host who makes sure you are well taken care of. Can't wait to be back again!
