Moonlit Cove B&B

If you are looking for a very clean and simple spot in Sooke to rest after a bike ride or relax on a weekend, this B&B is great. The view is lovely, the food is plentiful.
The host is very friendly, involved (not the type that «leaves you a key»). She definitely goes out of her way to make you feel welcome and meet your needs.
However, if you are looking for privacy, do not book the Harbour Suite. Although the website says the deck is private, it’s, in fact, the opposite. The main window doesn’t have curtains and the deck for the entire house is RIGHT off the suite. We were getting dressed and people are cruising by for breakfast. The cottages seem private though.
This is the kind of B&B for people who like meeting others. The breakfast was served, very slowly, at a big table with 10 others. So, just keep that in mind (:

My weekend at this Bed and Breakfast floored me.
It’s difficult to pick where to begin, so I’ll try keep it to the point.
If you want to stay in a beautiful, quiet cabin with plush beds, spend your nights in a secluded hot tub overlooking the cove and be fawned over by a loving homeowner like visiting family, this is the place for you.
Chris, the owner, REALLY WILL LOVE YOU TO DEATH aha. this woman welcomes you into her home, either in the main house or the cabins, and i can see that being invasive for some people. that is something that must be made clear as while entirely loveable and darling, if you are a more reserved/​cold/​private person, you may feel a little offput. you may want a more hotel atmosphere. But this woman, in her mothering, really enhanced my stay. I’d forgotten little things (sensible shoes, being one) and she managed to outfit me entirely in waterproof gear, clearly excited to be useful.
At one point, she jumped the gun on us and went ahead and booked a Zipline experience at the near by Adrenaline Zipline. While blindsided, we had been procrastinating, frankly, and that ended up being the highlight of the trip. So yes, Chris is a very involved presence, and I’m sure that’s not for everyone. She does respect boundaries of course, but gets carried away like a mother would. I’m sure she’d have taken dirt off my cheek if the chance arrived. She’d give you the clothes of her back if you needed it.
The breakfasts are great and she stresses to keep them different every day, as well as providing a wide array of daily trimmings like fruit salads, granola, cinnamon buns to pick at. She starts cooking when you enter the room regardless of when you said you’d like breakfast, so if you want to start your day early, make sure she understands the time constraint.
The cabins are neat as a pin, the beds are large and far to comfortable if you plan to be at all productive and have patios overlooking the gorgeous cove. Seals and rabbits made plenty of appearances.
The other guests caught salmon nearby, and we had a barbecue and had a night filled with beer, wine and laughter. making friends was unexpected, but Moonlit Cove has this way of making everyone feel at ease. Chris acts like she’s known you for years, and you leave feeling the same. Would definitely return.
