Spending two nights at Ambraden Bed & Breakfast was a rejuvenating experience, wanting to be extended. It is a well hidden jewel in the beautiful Cowichan Valley, surrounded by lush forest and reflected in its own mirror-like pond. Ambraden B & B provides contemporary, uncluttered accommodations, with scrumptious breakfasts. Joan and Chris Kolk provide a welcoming, informal atmosphere, setting the... More

The home theatre in the basement is great as well but I would recommend enjoy the outdoor and birds viewing. I would strongly recommend this pleasant and relaxing B&B to... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our night at Joan & Chris' stunning home. A beautiful location, so comfortable and stunning inside and out. Joan and Chris had many recommendations re touring the area. Breakfast was delicious. We hated to leave, and hope to return.

I'm a guy and I hate B & B's. But this B & B I thought was great! My wife loved it, too. So, if you're a guy and want to make your wife happy, stay here. You'll be glad you did. Read the other reviews if you want details about what to do and what to expect. You won't... More

I have never stayed at a more welcoming, beautiful and relaxing B&B than at Ambraden Pond. My husband stayed at Ambraden Pond for three weeks while working in the area and I visited for a week during that time. The hosts, Joan and Chris, are friendly, helpful and create a welcoming environment for guests. The rooms are large and spacious.... More

We drove down the long, wooded driveway to a very private escape and was greeted... More

Upon arrival, hosts Joan & Chris feel like old friends. Rooms were lovely with sumptuous beds, spacious baths, and thick towels. Slept like a rock after frogs lulled me to sleep. Breakfasts were exquisite. One morning was bread pudding French toast! My husband even did some casting in the pond with Chris's rod. Can't wait for our return visit!

My husband and I spent two wonderful nights here in late August. We do not like B&Bs but took a chance and were delighted that we did so. Joan and Chris are wonderful hosts who have an innate sense of when to be present and when to be invisible. I cannot say enough about how fantastic they and their home... More

We stayed at this wonderful "home away from home" in July and we have the highest raves for this beautiful bed and breakfast!! We stayed for three nights and we were very sad to leave Joan and Chris. Joan and Chris are the perfect hosts and we enjoyed our time with them as much as we did exploring the area.... More
