Rex and Ruth are the truly professional hosts - able to make their guests welcome and relaxed but also to gel the conversation and atmosphere with a variety of visitors from around the world. The house and rooms are superb and the menu (a proper menu!) at breakfast was unrivalled in our experience of hotels and guesthouses around the world.... more

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. Although the house... more

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. They have done an awesome job of restoring and furnishing their lovely heritage home. It is clean, comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. The food is fresh and delicious. You will find that... more

A wonderful B&B with fantastic hosts. The first night we slept so well and our room was great - we loved the heated bathroom floor. In the morning we had a 5 course breakfast by candlelight with great conversation with Ruth & Rex. If you love older houses you will love the way they have restored this house. We had... more

We did a round the world trip , which took us to Vancouver BC. We loved it so much, that we extended by a further 3 days. Rex and Ruth really made us feel at home , and assisted with all our travel plans, nothing was too much hassle. The breakfasts are legendary , and conversations at the breakfast table... more

My husband and I visited the ThistleDown House from Oct 17 to Oct 20, 2007 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This was our first trip to Vancouver, BC so after quite a bit of research through the awesome Trip Advisor reviews and opinions we picked the ThistleDown as our place and are very glad we did. 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
