It was very spacious, clean and a great place to return to after our day excursions in the Victoria area. Downtown Victoria is about 15-20 minutes drive away. There is a nearby grocery and restaurant area where all our needs were met. Our check in process was easy and Carol greeted us and made sure everything was ok. They were very accomodating especially since we brought our little dog with us. We would definitely stay with them again in our next visit... ##### Mary Rose B.

The unit was incredibly spacious and in excellent shape. Carol was an exceptional hostess. My only issue was that we are used to a very soft king size bed and the one in this unit was quite hard and seemed small for a queen. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it. ##### Ann M.

It was very spacious, clean and comfy! They had little treats for our dog, and had a little Christmas tree for us too. Very quiet and lots of room to move around. The hosts Carol and Trevor were extremely accommodating to our parking requests and were very helpful and friendly, as well as their sweet dog Gunner. ##### Kelly M. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jo-Anne K. 9 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Alderley Grange Our stay at Alderley Grange was perfect in every way. The property was located in a perfect spot from us -- just far enough from the hustle and bustle of Victoria to feel like the "country" but close enough to coffee shops, independent grocers, interesting spots, etc. to serve all our needs. Carol and Trevor were wonderful about communicating and preparing for our arrival. There had been a snowfall (unusual for the area) in the days before we were to check in and they have the laneway and walkways completely cleared and salted. The property has absolutely everything we needed in terms of amenities -- and Carol included a healthy supply of local coffee that was excellent!We couldn't have been more pleased and we will definitely return. ##### Jo-Anne K.

We stayed at this accommodation for the Victoria Ironman 70.3 and the location could not be better! It was a quick 10 minute walk to the race start so there was no need to stress about coordinating the shuttles.Carol and Trevor are the hosts and they are beyond friendly and wonderful people to get to know. They also respect your privacy if you are looking for a quiet retreat.Will be staying here again! ##### Benjamin S.
