Albion Manor is our home - and it is your home too. We treat our guest the same as we treat our friends. We love what we do and take pride in the accommodation we provide. We promise that your stay with us will be the crowning touch to your visit to Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. - Don and Fernando
We are both artists - Don has an extensive history with theatrical design and Fernando has a degree from Artes Aplicades in Seville and is currently studying for a Fine Arts degree at Simon Fraser University. Together we have created a warm and welcoming home for guests - a home decorated with an eclectic collection of antiques and original artwork from around the world and surrounded with a lush garden that is our passion.
On entering the house, guests are greeted by the indomitable Maria de Medici, one of Fernando's spectacular creations. The walls of the living room, dining room and the halls are a veritable canvas of paintings, sketches, etchings and sculptures. There are treasures from the jungles of Papua New Guinea, carvings brought out of Northern Thailand on the back of an elephant, and antiques from the back streets of Kyoto, Japan. Albion Manor is surrounded by a lush English country garden that provides guest with an oasis in which to relax and unwind at the end of a working day or a busy day of sightseeing. Enjoy a drink on the large verandah or take a walk around the grounds and explore the Obelisk Garden, the setting for several unique sculptures including: the Playwrights' Font, Anicha, and Fernando's 'Hamburger'
Each day we start the day with our gourmet breakfast. This is our favorite part of the day. Our guests sharing stories and tips about visiting Victoria or the cities where they live and getting to know each other, and we get to know our guests as well. Ample portions of smiles and laughter are part of every breakfast at our table.
"The breakfasts are beyond description."
- Petrina and John, Gibsons, BCOur gourmet breakfasts take advantage of the seasonal specialties of local (organic) gardens and markets, beautifully presented, and include fruit and fruit juices, egg, meat and vegetable dishes, and delicious choices of coffees and teas.

The elegant tranquility of Albion Manor has made us one of Victoria, British Columbia's signature Bed and Breakfast Inns. It was formerly Ryan's Bed and Breakfast. Our gracious 1892 Heritage Home is located on a peaceful oak-tree lined street in the historic James Bay district just five minutes walk from the US ferry terminal, the ocean, downtown shopping and Victoria's major venues. We have off-street parking, so there's no need to drive with everything so wonderfully close to us.
Our registered historical status is reflected in the exterior architecture and in our Queen Anne / California-Victorian furnishings - the light spacious bedroomscome with king- or queen-sized beds with fine linens and down duvets. All of the rooms in this fine Victoria BC bed and breakfast have a unique charm derived from the Victorian ambience of the rooms, from architectural details such as balconies, terraces or patios, and from romantic amenities like fireplaces. All our en-suites have modern fixtures; some have water-jet Jacuzzis or claw-foot soaker tubs. In addition, we celebrate your stay with us by giving you a host of complimentary items to add to the comfort of your visit with us. Albion Manor B&B is a treasure trove of art from around the world featuring exotic treasures from the places we have visited: Europe, Korea, Japan, Morocco, the Sultanate of Oman and Papua New Guinea. Our home is elegantly decorated with paintings, china cabinets, chaise lounges, overstuffed couches, and beautiful Kerman rugs for you to enjoy. To say nothing of the sculptures, paintings, silverpoints, drawings and sketches by Fernando, our artist-in-residence.
