Very close to Shawnigan Lake School, where my wife and I visited during my 50th high school reunion. The beautiful setting in the remote grounds, lovely accommodations, marvelous breakfast, kind and congenial hosts: it is the complete package in the $130-$150 range.
My daughter and I recently stayed at Cobble House while on a biking winery tour. It was a great location. We especially enjoyed sitting on the quiet deck in the evening after a hot, strenuous day eating the picnic dinner we had brought along with a bottle of local wine. There were lots of birds, deer, rabbits and squirrels to... more
Cobble House was the last stop during our 2,5 weeks round trip in West-Canada (july 2011, from Calgary to Vancouver), and we enjoyed it most! Pleasant room, very clean bath room, quiet nights, delicious and varying breakfast. Further on, fully surrounded by nature (hummingbirds, deers, ...). We also enjoyed the interesting conversations in the morning with Ingrid while having an... more
We also had the LivingSocial deal. By the time we booked the included rooms were booked on our dates, but the host, Ingrid, was accommodating and let us upgrade to the Hummingbird Room for just $10 a night, which was well worth it. The room was huge, with many windows onto the lawn where deer & fawn played in the... more
My wife and I were looking for a quiet retreat that wasn't too far away from sightseeing and eating adventures and the Cobble House was a perfect fit for us. Ingrid was a delight to chat with each morning and was full of helpful ideas for things to do and see. We've stayed at b&b's in several countries and this... more
We booked through the Living Social for a getaway just before our wedding anniversary, which we have enjoyed several times at Chemainus. The Hummingbird Room is worth the extra charge, looking out on the back lawn and forest where deer came each morning. The back deck with its comfortable chairs was a good spot to read and enjoy the birds,... more
First off, Ingrid was very kind about our very late arrival!I felt terrible, but she was lovely about it.
We woke up to a great breakfast, a frittata, fresh scones, fresh fruit and juice. The next day it was a cheese and spinach omelet, bacon and fresh asparagus. She was informative on the area. We went on a Living Social...

Cobble House was especially accomodating to our needs...We are vegan and Ingrid cooked up an amazing vegan 3 course breakfast for us, which varied both mornings.
The rooms were super clean, very quiet and had a beautiful view. We saw deer and squirrels and there was lots of birds around the whole time we were there. Very peaceful.

Cobble Hill B&B is a little jewel tucked away in the beautiful Cowichan Valley. The rooms were very comfortable and quiet, and the meals were incredible. It's location makes it easy to explore the vineyards and restaurants in the area. Ingrid and Simon were wonderful hosts, and we will happily return for another get-away.
My husband and I spent our anniversary weekend at the Cobble Hill B&B recently. We saw it advertised on the Living Socials website and thought it was a great deal and a nice place to get away for the weekend. Due to a glitch in our reservation, we were bumped up to the spacious Hummingbird Room (thanks Ingrid!) which has... more
My husband and I recently spent two nights at Cobble House and are very pleased to say what a wonderful place it is. Cobble House is set in a very quiet sem-forrested area--the only sounds we heard were the chirping of the birds. Ingrid, our hostess, was very gracious and prepared tremendous breakfasts. Our room was large, with easy chairs... more
We had an excellent experience staying a weekend at Cobble House. Our room was very comfortable and well appointed. Cobble House is in a very quiet location, well back from the road, and we had the best sleeps in weeks. Ingrid was a great tour advisor. We particularly enjoyed the Kinsol Tressle and the local Heritage Museum in Cobble Hill.
When my daughter and I arrived at Cobble House B&B we were warmly greeted by Ingrid and Simon Vermegen. Our room was beautifully decorated, some of the furnishings being antique, it was very spacious and the beds were firm. Everything was immaculate, yet very inviting and comfortable.
Ingrid's breakfasts were a feast of delights. She is an excellent, creative chief:...

We stayed at Cobble House, b/c it was recommended to us by a nearby restaurant called Amuse.

The common areas of the house... more
Our stay at Cobble House B&B was absolutely superb. We arrived to the very peaceful and welcoming home of Ingrid and Simon Vermegen in the late afternoon and appreciated their many appropriate suggestions for activities we could enjoy during our stay. Since we had not previously been to the Cowichan Valley, we took the opportunity to explore the region built... more
What a delightful place to stay on a weekend trip from the greater Vancouver area. The owners were most acommodating and friendly, and we enjoyed meeting and talking to the one other family there over a delicious home-cooked breakfast.
I especially liked the privacy and peaceful quiet of the inn and the hummingbird room at the back of the house...

What more could one ask for after an 86.5 km cycle the l-o-n-g way from Crofton except to be greeted by our gracious hostess Ingrid in this lovely haven in a tranquil forest? After visiting the Tea Farm on Richards Trail in Maple Bay, exploring the cycling trails on both sides of the Cowichan River as far as Marie Canyon,... more
This is one of the best B &B's we have stayed in - and we have used several in Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
Beautifully appointed, with a very spacious bedroom and a delicious breakfast in the morning.
It is ideally situated in woodland and our only regret was that we were there for only one night - definitely somewhere...

Cobble House B&B is in a secluded setting - very quiet and tranquil. The house is beautiful. We stayed in the Heron Suite which is a large room with two comfortable chairs for reading. Ingrid and Simon are wonderful hosts and the breakfasts are excellent. We will definitely return when we next visit the area.

This is the finest B&B that we have stayed in. A quiet location in which the Hosts have thought of every detail to make the experience the best possible. Extremely clean, well maintained and comfortable. Breakfasts are exquisite.

We stayed in the hummingbird suite for three nights. This was serene and relaxing experience for our first stay at a B&B.

Her food is absolutely fantastice, some of the best breakfast... more
A lovely B&B, beautiful home, wonderfully maintained, very comfortable house and room. Ingrid was very accommodating, professional but friendly, and cooked us a delicious breakfast, all we could eat.

We stayed in the Jay Room for 2 nights and loved our time at the Cobble House!

We stayed in the Hummingbird room, huge,loved the bathroom too with jacuzzi tub and separate shower. Two wing chairs in our room allowed us to sit and watch the deer just outside our window. Everything was spotless, and the breakfast wonderful, three courses even. Our hostess did all that she could to make us at home and added to a... more
We stayed in the Jay room for a night and found Ingrid to be a gracious host, with the right blend of attention and leaving us alone. The house was built as a B & B, so rooms have modern fixtures but are decorated by Ingrid in antiques and collections of objects. Unfortunately, my husband is tall and the bed,... more
Was in the area visiing my daughter. The welcome was warm, water hot, bed comfortable, parking free and brakfast excellent!
I really enjoyed my time at Cobble House B and B. It was comfortable and very clean and Ingrid prepared beautiful bit breakfasts. I really enjoyed it and I highly recommend it to anyone who is traveling to Mill Bay.

Breakfast was delicious and Ingrid and Simon are most gracious hosts. I hope to bring the family along next time and not have last minute work/school conflicts... more
Our Hummingbird room was very private, spacious and comfortable with a beautiful picture window view of the back yard and nature. Breakfasts were well prepared and beautifully presented. The hosts are very helpful and friendly. A great relaxing location in a country setting.
My husband, two friends and I stayed for one night at the Cobble House B & B in mid September - would that it could have been for a much longer visit.

My partner and I stayed at Cobble House for a few days when we were travelling around Vancouver island this year. The accommodation is delightful, with everything thought of, very clean and spacious rooms. Lovely touches, such as natural, homemade bath and shower gels, etc. The owners are very welcoming and offer useful advice about places to visit. The local... more
Ingrid is the perfect host - great cook (breakfasts will set you up for most of the day), and very knowledgable of the area. She is very helpful and you will not want for anything. The location is peaceful and relaxing, yet you are not too far away from the main tourist attractions around Victoria and the southeast coast. A... more
We have stayed at the Cobble House B & B three times now, and it seems better each time (if that's possible!) Ingrid and Simon are always wonderful hosts, and the breakfasts are marvelous. We usually stay here instead of in Victoria because it's so much more pleasant and less hectic, and the rates are more than reasonable. I have... more
The setting is in quiet country just a few minutes from some fine dining. There are wonderful wineries (& a cidery) some with good lunches and dinners on site. We enjoy the driving to and from Cowichan Bay and around the farms and wineries. But most of all we enjoy the peace.
Ingrid is a wonderful cook and breakfasts are...

An exceptionally friendly hostess and a lovely home with a big room and a gigantic comfortable bed with shutters on the windows. A lovely great room with very nice antiques.

This was our second stay at Cobble House B&B. Our accomodation, the Jay room, was spacious and outfitted thoughtfully with a small fridge and very comfortable easy chairs. The reading materials provided allowed for the planning of the following day's trip. There was also a small library available and a large airy great room in which to enjoy the view... more
Stayed at Cobble House while our son was at a rowing regatta. It was a great weekend with great company from the other rowing families who were staying there.

We will definitely be staying here...

We were so happy to stay again with Ingrid at Cobble House. We were on the island watching our kids row at the Shawnigan Lake regatta.

We will be back... more
Five of us stayed here for an all girl cousin reunion and thoroughly enjoyed the B&B. We booked all three rooms, so had the place to ourselves.

Would... more
I found Cobble House by chance and consider myself extremely lucky. Ingrid and Simon are very gracious hosts. Their home is warm and inviting and the breakfasts are absolutely delicious. I look forward to being able to return with the rest of the family and once again enjoying their hospitality.
What an excellent experience! Ingrid is an excellent hostess! We stayed in the Hummingbird room! Loved it!

My wife found the Cobble House on-line. It is located about 10 minutes from Shawnigan Lake School, which was my destination, and the reviews I read were most complimentary. Unfortunately I was traveling alone since my wife had another obligation the same weekend. I stayed in the Hummingbird room...spacious, attractive, well furnished, a great queen-size bed, and a view of... more
This is our second stay at Cobble House and we specifically sought it out because Ingrid and Simon make us feel at home. We really appreciate the woodland setting, and the interior decoration is second to none!
