We stayed for several nights in this beautiful B&B in North Vancouver. Thistle Down House is a characteristic charming house with very nice rooms and most kind hosts. Nice garden. We stayed in "Under the apple tree" a spacious room with private terrace, nice excellent quality furnishings, good bathroom, little comfortable sitting area. Excellent high standard breakfasts.

Stayed two rainy days, but the welcome was warm. The house is a fabulous arts and crafts design with appropriate furnishings. Classy style with no froufrou touches so often found elsewhere. The room spacious, the bed wonderful. Offer to put on the fireplace pilot light if I liked. Breakfast is the best I've ever had in a B and B... more

Don't even hesitate if you are considering a stay here. Ruth and Rex really go the extra distance to make you not only comfortable but very much at ease.

Ruth and Rex are... more

Stayed for two nights - it rained non stop but we didn't need any excuses to stay inside by the cosy log fire and enjoy the hospitality of Rex and Ruth and our conversations with them and the other guests. A great place to stay! more

What can we say that hasn't already been said. Lovely hosts, both Ruth and Rex are a joy. Super location near the river and much more. Delightful accomodations, super clean and of course expertly decorated. We are already looking forward to another visit to Vancouver and the Thistledown! more

Thistle Down is right at the top of our list of B&B's. What a wonderful experience. We have to echo "Little Leon's" review (as we were there at the same time). The rooms are delightful with full roomy baths, the breakfasts were among the best we have had, and the hosts were as warm and friendly as can be. We... more
