We chose Laura's place because 1) it seemed to offer what a true B'n'B should offer, a comfy bed, private space 2) peace and quiet 3) a location (in Sooke) away from the maddening crowds of crazy tourists in Victoria (like us) 4) rural-ality, we chose to stay in the forested area rather than a place in the town.
The B'n'B is modern, well equipped, has everything you'll need for a great stay including enough towels to dry yourself with, an oven and cook top that functions, living space.
The first day there we went for a walk along the Galloping Goose Trail and five minutes in we came across a lovely black bear that gave us a nod and a wink ( I named her Gertrude) and other wild life such as the black slug, the sinister slime of the Sooke environment that worms its way on the dark side, the opposite to the banana slug that has a more happier disposition.
During that walk some locals stopped to chat and gave us some further insights on some Sooke attractions, which we took up. Note: Sooke folk are nice people. We were treated like King and Queen. Every where we went the people were great.
I'm not one to write reviews. The whole eWorld drives me batty. No, I will not like your page. No, I will not do complete your survey, no I won't watch your stupid Facebook video... GO AWAY.
But Laura's place is worth me bothering, and it's the first B'n'B review I have written. I swore I'd never use another B'n'B after our last one, but things happen. So stay at Laura's, it's worth it. And Sooke is off the beaten track and we managed it without a car. I was banned by the war office from driving on what, for an Australian, is the wrong side of the road.
So come to Sooke, stay at Laura's. You'll like it. The best B'n'B we've stayed in.
