We stayed one rainy night at Thistledown House while visiting the Canyon Lights at Capilano Park. Short walk to the park was SO convenient. This inn is fantastic. Our host was very welcoming and helpful. The house itself is BEAUTIFUL and perfectly restored. We were in their smallest room but it was perfect with the fireplace and lovely decor. Sweet and cozy. I wish we could have stayed longer. We had to leave early so did not register for breakfast but the table was setting was pretty and traditional. Highly recommend staying here,

A very charming bed and breakfast with 6 bedrooms in North Vancouver, away from the crowds and located approx. 200 meters from the Capilano Suspension Bridge. There is a busstop close by. The hosts are very welcoming and make you feel right at home. On late arrival, a welcoming letter is placed at the door and you can enter the main door with a code. We stayed in Mulberry Peek, a room with a queensize bed, a bathroom with toilet and shower, a television and a rooftop balcony. There is complimentary soap, shampoo, conditioner and q-tips. A hairdryer is also available. The room is spacious, charming and comfortable. The house has WiFi and there is also a small library where guests leave books for other guests to read. You can make use of the computer in there, as well as the guest phone. The livingroom is for all guests to be used and has a relaxing feel. There is complimentary coffee, tea, soda's and water. There is even complimentary sherry, scotch and port available. For a charge, you can have beer and / or wine. The garden is a dream. It's such a nice area, that really makes you forget you are actually in a big city. The herbs in the garden are used in your breakfast. There are plenty of parking spaces and we were on check out allowed to leave our car in the parking spot to visit the Capilano bridge. We were also invited to come back in after our visit to freshen up and have a drink. Such an amazing hospitality. The 3-course-breakfast is exquisite. Don't expect any regular bread, cheese, ham or eggs kind of breakfast. Having breakfast with the other guests is quite a nice experience to have a chat and share holiday stories and tips. Upon leaving, our hosts presented us a lovely goodbye chocolate (Godiva). Is there a better way to say goodbye?…

We stayed in a fabulous room under the apple tree, no issues there. However I must say I was slightly disappointed this time, as we were given the same fruit crumble for breakfast two times in the four days we staying there. We stayed two years ago, in the same room. We were blown away by the exceptional treatment from Brian. However, this time we hardly saw him, and although the intern was lovely, she lacked the social skills that Brian has. She never told the guests that there were breads and jams on the table to eat, we had to tell them as they were covered up and the guests would never have known. The fruit crumble for breakfast was very heavy, it stayed with me all day. So I just put it behind me as I thought well there’s something new every day, so I know I won’t have it again. On our last morning there...we were served fruit crumble again. I really was disappointed and felt let down, it isn’t cheap to stay here, and the breakfast was a big part of us coming back. The guests from around the world on the table made it for us this year. But I did miss Brian and felt he’d handed a lot over to the new intern. I’m unsure as to whether I’d stay again, but that’s only me judging it against our first time. If you’ve not stayed here before, I recommend it.…

My wife and I stayed at The Snuggery on Sept 7, 2019. We were warmly greeted by Brian and he showed us the amenities. The home is gorgeous - a great common room, and wonderful garden to relax in. The bed was comfortable, and in the morning a lovely gourmet breakfast with other guests. Highly recommend!

What an absolutely fabulous place! The house is beautiful and very well maintained, you can tell much love and care goes into the upkeep. An adorable private backyard for relaxing. Such a welcoming B&B and probably one of the best I have ever had the pleasure to stay at. The breakfast is just divine. Beyond delicious and creative. I hope I can visit this place again. Lovely!!
