I am going a long way....
To the island-valley of Albion
Where falls not hail, or rain, or any snow,
Nor ever wind blows loudly: but it lies
Deep-meadowed, happy, fair with orchid lawns
And bowery hallows crowned with summer sea. . . .
A Lord Tennyson
Our goal at Albion Manor is to ensure that you have an experience as pleasant as was Tennyson's in Albion. To do that, we provide you with congenial accommodation in a home that is a registered historical landmark, we feed you a gourmet breakfast in our historic Victorian dining room and we surround you with our eclectic collection of international art and an exquisite garden. Albion Manor B and B is rated four and a half stars by Canada Select and is Tourism Victoria Approved.
The elegant tranquility of Albion Manor has made us one of Victoria, British Columbia's signature Bed and Breakfast Inns. It was formerly Ryan's Bed and Breakfast. Our gracious 1892 Heritage Home is located on a peaceful oak-tree lined street in the historic James Bay district just five minutes walk from the US ferry terminal, the ocean, downtown shopping and Victoria's major venues. We have off-street parking, so there's no need to drive with everything so wonderfully close to us.
Our registered historical status is reflected in the exterior architecture and in our Queen Anne / California-Victorian furnishings- the light spacious bedrooms come with king- or queen-sized beds with fine linens and down duvets. All of the rooms in this fine Victoria BC bed and breakfast have a unique charm derived from the Victorian ambience of the rooms, from architectural details such as balconies, terraces or patios, and from romantic amenities like fireplaces. All our en-suites have modern fixtures; some have water-jet Jacuzzis or claw-foot soaker tubs. In addition, we celebrate your stay with us by giving you a host of complimentary items to add to the comfort of your visit with us.
Albion Manor B&B is a treasure trove of art from around the world featuring exotic treasures from the places we have visited: Europe, Korea, Japan, Morocco, the Sultanate of Oman and Papua New Guinea. Our home is elegantly decorated with paintings, china cabinets, chaise lounges, overstuffed couches, and beautiful Kerman rugs for you to enjoy. To say nothing of the sculptures, paintings, silverpoints, drawings and sketches by Fernando, our artist-in-residence.
Albion Manor is our home- and it is your home too. We treat our guest the same as we treat our friends. We love what we do and take pride in the accommodation we provide. We promise that your stay with us will be the crowning touch to your visit to Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
