outstanding. views exceptional host outstanding breakfast
Excellent breakfast and rooms. Loved our stay:)
This is our second time staying at Quarrystone. It’s a really magical spot. Great for kids lots of space to run around. The breakfast is unbelievably amazing and we loved the goats and baby lambs and picking grapes to eat. The staff are wonderful and it’s a very relaxed environment. We watched the meteor shower on the grass in the evening. Truly lovely. Highly recommend. We will be back.
Breakfast was great but it might be desirable to enquire about guests preferences The location is a bit far from Ganges where most places of interest are located The staff was wonderful
The bed was a bit soft
Amazing B&B. We absolutely loved our stay. So quiet and so peaceful. Beautiful location and excellent staff. Everything was perfect
That I only booked one night. Would love to have stayed longer. We definitely will be back
It was a superb breakfast both mornings, and varied.
Low toilet with no grab bar; needing of another towel bar in bathroom.
I loved the whole experience! The location, the staff & the incredible food! Thank youuuu
Lovely setting. Delicious breakfast.
The bed was amazing. So comfortable and the view from the porch was truly lovely. The breakfast was delicious. Every day we had a different delicious offering. It was a lot of food but the to go bag added to our picnics.
The bathroom - the shower in particular was very small. You could easily hear the other guests as well when they were in their rooms.
Everything.
No complain at all
Quiet and clean
Nothing
So much love put into the breakfast- yum! I stayed two nights with my parents. They used the comfortable king-size bed with an exceptional westward ocean view. Very charming and Kelly is a great host. We will be back!
The bathroom fan sounds like an airplane engine, and so do the upstairs ones. The bathtub has little jets, but I personally find it hardly adds any value to the room. This is being a bit nitpicky and nothing more.
beautiful spot
Perfect in every way for a romantic get away from stresses of daily life. Bring a hearty appetite..Breakfast is AMAZING!
Beautiful, serene getaway on Saltspring Island. It seems that many of the guests enjoying the generous, delicious breakfast included in stay were return visitors. That explains it all!
Beautiful spot, everything thought of for our comfort. Absolutely awesome breakfast. Kelly couldn’t have been a better host! Would highly, highly recommend.
Nothing
Authentic farmhouse, attention to detail, very private, so relaxing, surrounded by nature, incredible 2-course breakfast, chef prepared fresh food and just out of the oven baking, you were encouraged to take leftovers with you. But most of all the hostess (Kelly) genuinely wanted each guest to have an amazing experience- she greeted each guest going well above and beyond by giving me an air cast for my injured ankle. We have travelled to many places and this is one of our best experiences. We will return!! Thank you Kelly!
We had a beautiful view from our “ Treetops room at this B& B. Were given an option of having a meal delivered to us from a few different restaurants that our hosts ran. Amazing sunset across to Chemanius and then sunrise across the valley behind us. Would recommend.
Lovely room. Delicious breakfast and charming staff
Would have liked breakfast to start a little earlier
Exquisite.
This place was lovely. It was easy to find, easy to access and everything was perfect. They totally understood dietary issues and being gluten free was no problem. The bed was so comfy. The room was too. We would definitely recommend this to anyone !
A superb breakfast. Beautiful views. Lovely kind owner and staff!
Quarrystone’s friendly helpful staff ensure a lovely, quiet, charming stay in a remarkably quaint country setting with panoramic ocean views, fresh air and a superb full breakfast. A perfect island retreat.
Excellent get away accomodation,on Saltspring! Great breakfast, with beautiful views! Definitely recommend to others!
Lovely property at the northwest end of the island. Convenient delivery of dinner from restaurants in town. Friendly service.
Runny scrambled eggs and no toast or bread with breakfast to enjoy the jams put out on table and would have preferred potatoes more simple at breakfast
We’ve stayed there. Many times. It feels like we’re at home. It is honestly the best place we’ve ever stayed.💕💕
Beautiful location, lovely staff. Would highly recommend
It was such an amazing place!!!!!! The woman who runs the place is so sweet and very thoughtful.The food was amazing and they will cater to your needs.Ive been here twice before and i will keep going!!!! 5 stars for sure!!!!!
Absolutely loved the view, the room and the breakfasts were amazing. Such a peaceful place.
The garden was paradise
We’ve been there many times they are excellent. It feels like home.
Kelly was amazing, provided a friendly, efficient and beautiful accommodation.

Blissful stay at a well maintained gem. Self checked in but lots of notes and guidance; from my name on the door of my room to an envelope full of information to get me settled as well as a contact number if I needed anything. Beautiful Adirondack chairs on the grass outside my room overlooked the water. Sounds of birds and sheep and goats in the distance. Exquisite breakfasts, artfully plated and brought out by friendly hosts. I’d return in a heartbeat.
Words can’t describe how incredible my stay was. I was fortunate enough to get upgraded when I arrived and stayed in The Studio room. It was spacious, comfortable and I loved the cozy bed, soft bathrobe, fireplace, Jacuzzi and fabulous view. The breakfast both mornings was scrumptious and very filling. I saved my fresh baked muffin for lunch both days. The attention to detail at this B&B is incredible. From your name on the slate outside of your door, to the availability of power sockets for every electronic device you may have, to the toiletries and little kitchenette. It was all amazing! Oh, and I can’t forget the best part, the goats, sheep, 2 cats and a dog. I was in heaven!!! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and will come back again.
If I could give 6 stars to this amazing establishment. The view, the cozy rooms, the delectable breakfast that is made with loving care and artistry by Kelly the owner. This made our Valentine’s weekend on Salt Spring. The baby goats and lambs were an unexpected and delightful bonus treat for my wife and I. You will get a quintessential salt spring experience when you come here. We are coming back for our wedding anniversary in June!
Kelly is a boss. Will return. The goats and the sheep are great. Very healing! The breakfast is epic. The host Kelly and the staff are professional and above and beyond professionals. I would suggest two things that are easy to attain for future improvement—not complaining. a) Please watch for animal/pet/farm animal hair in food. We ate all the food but picked out some hair :) Perhaps a better vacuum or pets to be separated from the cooking area. b) I think the faucet upgrade on both the tub and shower could go very far. The temperature knobs were not working smoothly and caused some surprise yikes haha. Overall, just needs a small attention, but I would return even if there is a bit of friendly friends' fur on the plates and the shower temperature requires the skill of a professional DJ mixing two songs. 9.5/10!! Can't wait to book again in the end of Spring!
It was a last minute trip and we found this piece of heaven. Wish we had stayed more than one night!
Gorgeous location, private yet accessible to everything we wanted to do, including some lovely local hikes. We had to make a quick dash for the ferry on our last morning, and Kelly wrapped up our delicious breakfast for us to take away. We would recommend this B&B highly.
Very nice rooms , tranquil, clean, professionally managed , and staff are attentive , patient and very friendly . Breakfast is fantastic with a 5 star hotel quality ! The sunset view is beautiful ! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at rye Quarrystone House and will return in some other times .
The accommodation was very comfortable, the staff we interacted with were great, and the breakfast was superb. Overall, double thumbs up.
Overall a great experience staying at the Quarrystone House. About a 20 minute drive to get into Ganges Town Center. The breakfasts served are high end with all the trimmings, so if you are expecting a plain bacon and egg, pancake combo that is not what is served. Staff are super friendly and courteous, and compliment the owner in her views making it a great place to stay. The room we had was on the ground floor, as we had our Wheaten Terrier "Tazo" with us. There is no housekeeping per say, though if you need something staff and owner are there to assist. The rooms could do with a few more amenities, just for placing things like toiletries etc. As you set up the room with your personal items, shopping etc. The toilet we had is old school, and very low as they are probably on septic would recommend installing a new water efficient toilet. Their are goats on the property, paying them a visit is relaxing. Great views of the Gulf Islands for each room. Meeting the other guests for breakfast a treat. Overall pleased with the experience and stay at the QuarryStone. That includes "Tazo"
This is an amazing place to stay! The setting and the facility are both beautiful. The room was immaculate, attractive and comfortable, with careful attention to detail. The gourmet breakfasts were extraordinary! We didn't eat lunch for the 3 days we were there! A delightful way to explore Salt Spring!
The views and location was stunning. The bedroom was very comfortable.
Didn’t know where I could boil the kettle so did it in the bathroom and I think it blew a fuse as the bathroom and single room light wouldn’t come on. Since our phone wasn’t working and no one was in check in room we spent a while trying to find a fuse box. Tried to get some ice and wanted to know if we could buy some beer but there was no way of contacting them via the check in area and we had problems with our phone to call them.
Beautiful location, responsive, helpful on-site team, relaxed vibe. Very comfy bed & great pillows. Terrific breakfast. Lots of chairs outside to enjoy the view.
No complaints!
Fantastic view of the ocean right from our bed. Beautiful grounds and excellent breakfast. Kelly & Gabby were very helpful. A hair dryer would have helped my wife.
The view was great, the place was clean and surrounding land was scenic.
Wonderfully charming BnB, highly recommend!! Serene warm and welcoming with a gorgeous view and the nicest owners. Fabulous multi-course, home-cooked breakfast every morning. 10 min drive into Ganges. Beat place to stay on the island.
Everything was perfect! The atmosphere and the view were great, loved the jacuzzi, and breakfast was just a masterpiece. Moreover, it is pet friendly! One of the best places we have ever stayed)
Liked everything
Charming host who welcomed us on our first night moving to Salt Spring with an early breakfast, a friendly smile and a warm heart. Excellent stay and a sea view as well. Thank you Kelly!
Great views. Beautiful rural setting. Love the animals. Big breakfast.
Toilet in our suite was too low but, a small issue.
Great place
Perfect setting, great view, and well-appointed rooms with all the luxuries … we didn’t want to leave! Warm staff and the breakfasts were amazing - fresh baked goods, fresh fruit, and full plates of gourmet food.
The breakfast was different everyday and absolutely delicious!! B&B was situated on a lovely little farm which gave it such a cozy feeling. Stonecutter room was perfect and the view was absolutely breathtaking. Communication with Kelly was exceptional and made making arrangements stress-free. I’ve already recommended the Quarrystone House B&B to family and friends!
Breakfast was outstanding. Room was beautiful, with lots of thoughtful touches.
Wonderful BF and friendly staff. Awesome view and pet friendly
Fantastic position with beautiful views and outdoor space. Rooms immaculate with beautiful furnishings. Hosts so welcoming and nothing too much trouble. Breakfast delicious and immense!
Loved the peaceful surroundings and amazing, HUGE prepared breakfast.
The breakfast was delicious perhaps more than I normally eat, but much better than to little.
The only thing I can think of is the guess up stairs who seem to be running a marathon half the night, but that had nothing to do with the establishment.
We stayed in the Gallery unit and it more than exceeded our expections. It was well appointed with all the little extras. The view from the patio was supurb!! We ordered a meal from the takeout menu and it came promptly and was delicious! It was delicious. I can't say enough about the breakfast other than WOW!!! Kelly put on a fantastic breakfast!! She was there to assist us with anything. We would book again and also recommend it to our family and friends!
Nothing...love it all!!
Excellent
Fine
Beauty of the surroundings and tranquility. Our host, Kelly, was a pleasure to deal with. The morning breakfasts were delicious and gourmet quality.
Very small bathroom shower for tall or larger people in the Treetop suite.
Lovely surrounding with animals in nature; love the giant arbutus tree next to the house. Clean room and the breakfast is so, so good!!
Wish there were screens installed for the windows and patio door; almost had bees flying inside. Be mindful that the showerhead pressure may be weak if you travel during water restriction.
Best breakfast ever and most lovely people
All great
Wonderful location and breakfast
Very clean, comfortable and beautiful room with a gorgeous view. Lovely big bathtub for soaking in. Delicious and filling breakfast. Very friendly staff.
nothing
Excellent property , clean and convenient location.. An early checkin of an hour would have been nice, cleaning staff can’t be there right up until 4 pm and then again at 10 am.
Everything was perfect. Very relaxed stay, wish we had more than one night. Breakfast was spectacular: healthful, tasty, and large. Every room appears to have a water view - setting is lovely, farm animals, etc.
Just make sure to use your in-room jacuzzi before it gets too late - the jets are kinda loud.
Our suite was beautifully appointed — extremely comfortable bed, lovely sitting area, a very handy kitchenette and luxurious bathroom. The little extra touches were very much appreciated, from earplugs and chocolates on the night table to toiletries and more. We loved having our own private patio overlooking the ocean and enjoyed some beautiful sunsets. The breakfasts are gourmet — so much food that we took the pastries in takeaway bags supplied by Kelly that we later had for lunch.
Gorgeous, spacious room overlooking the sea. Comfortable beds and high end amenities. The breakfast was the best we have ever had—delicious and attractively served.
I wish the fireplace had been working.
Amazing view, very comfortable, great hosts and wonderful breakfast
Fantastic property. Well run and very friendly staff. Amazing breakfasts. Well appointed and big rooms with an in suite jet-bath/whirlpool which was a wonderful touch. Only knock is that for an above average height person, the bathroom is “cozy”.
