Great B&B experience

We enjoyed our stay -- comfy bed with nice linens, very clean, elegant breakfast, and great location. Although it is not an isolated home (neighbors are close), once inside it feels very cozy and relaxing. Short walk to Capilano suspension bridge and short drive (5 mins) up to Grouse Mountain. We drove 10-15 mins into North Vancouver waterfront area for some nice dinners out. Enjoyed conversation with Brian, our host, at breakfast.

Brian emailed us beforehand wanting asking us our arrival time and if we had any dietary restrictions. When we arrived the house was warm and inviting. Our room was ready and everything was very clean and Brian was very welcoming. The breakfasts were amazing and we were delighted each morning with the quality of the food! Brian talked to us at length about fun things to do and great places to eat and really made our trip enjoyable. We would recommend ThistleDown house to everyone we know!

Great B&B

We stayed here for 3 nights and enjoyed our stay immensely. The breakfast served each morning came in 3 courses and with conversations with other guests you can expect it to last about 90 minutes. Great amenities and snacks and we found a nice little deli just down the road for dinner one night. Brought food back and sat out in the garden and enjoyed the cool evening. Room was comfortable with a large bed. This is definitely on our list to return to.

We want to thank Brian, his wife Virginia and the staff for a wonderful stay! My husband and I were visiting from Oregon and came to complete the "Grouse Grind". Our experiences staying in a B&B have always been positive and we appreciate the intimacy which is provided in a bed and breakfast. The house and property is an oasis off a busy street, but the location is great because it's close to everything. Aside from completing the hike to the top of Grouse Mountain only minutes away, our stay was relaxing and really enjoyable. Thank you for making our stay memorable!

Thistledown house is a treasure! We loved everything about it from the location, the warm & friendly hosts, our magnificently cozy room and the phenomenal food!! This 1920’s home is beautifully furnished and we loved the soft accent lighting & the ambiance. We had a fireplace in our room, a jacuzzi tub & a door that opened off the room into a beautiful lush secluded courtyard. We just returned today & want to go back as soon as we can. Capilano Suspension Bridge is a few minutes away. We highly recommend staying at Thistledown. It’s a must!!

Luxe boutique hotel in gracious house

The hotel is small but it has many shared living spaces, generous self serve coffee and treats bar and the best breakfast bar none. The manager and staff were very profesional and highly trained and they made our stay such a pleasure. The location was exellent - a few mins drive out of the city, a walk to Capilano Bridge and to the national park and the ski fields are a few mins drive away. My wife was surprised that they knew it was her birthday and our desire for a quiet breakfast was easily acommodated. Everything about the facilities and the room was of the highest quality and we will definitely be going back!

Very Comfortable B&B in North Vancouver

Thistledown House is a beautifully maintained 1920's house, with lovely gardens. The rooms are very comfortable, as are the well furnished public areas. The three-course breakfasts were without fail innovative and delicious. The hosts are very welcoming, interesting, and attentive. The B&B is in a lovely section of town, near beautiful wooded parks and the Grouse Mountain Ski area, as well as being in walking distance of excellent restaurants and other services. Our three-day stay was wonderful and relaxing.

Our Snuggery Stay

Our host Liv was friendly, welcoming and thorough in giving us a few tips as to some of the complimentary soft and juice drinks, know the coffee maker worked and where we could store a few things overnight in a small cooler. Our one night stay at Thistledown was very clean, decorated tastefully, and to our surprise the room even came with two white terry cloth bathrobes and matching slippers. The bed was very comfortable and found us soon fast asleep. Thistledown was conveniently located off of Capilano Road, just a stone’s throw from the Capilano Suspension Bridge and just a short drive north of Trans Canada Highway 1. Just outside our room was a natural lighted corridor with splashes of flowers in large pots and two high-backed chairs where one might easily get engrossed in a good book. . Continuing out this airy room led you to the enchanting backyard where one could leisurely sip a beverage, dream or relax on one of the two Chaise lounges or easy chairs, all the while being surrounded by fragrant flowers, shrubbery and tall evergreens. Our only wish with our stay was that our “Snuggery” room had more space. The bathroom small and the closet could possibly hold two smaller suitcases but a large check-in suitcase like mine had to hold its breath. It’s worth your look.

fantastic character home with matching hospitality

Our family of four stayed in two rooms for two nights. The rooms were stunning - tastefully and beautifully decorated with eclectic furniture and antiques that complimented the period features of the house. The beds were large and comfortable and the amenities in the room lent a real sense of luxury to our experience whilst staying here. The garden provided a wonderful outdoor space in which to relax after a day out with a wide choice of seating areas and interesting flora and fauna. At breakfast the three course menu was both creative and very tasty drawing on cuisine from around the country and the world. Everything we had was delicious. We loved the little bespoke menus produced each day food! However, despite the quality of the food and the stunning house itself, it was Liz, Brian and Virginia who made our stay. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we were treated as if we were one of the family. It was great to be able just to talk as though we had known each other for years and whatever we asked for, nothing was ever too much trouble. It was this personal touch that really made our stay special and set this apart from anywhere we have ever stayed before. Thank you so much for making our first trip to Canada so memorable!

We received a warm welcome on arrival. They set us up with a reservation for dinner at The Canyon in Edgemont and showed me were I could do a 5km run. At the Capilano River Park I ran by a hatchery, over dam and along many trails through the scenic rain forest. The Capilano bridge is nearby, but this park is for the public and free.

Nice B&B but bad policy

We booked this hotel through Expedia not realizing they had a mandatory $65 charge for any cancellation, no matter how much notice you gave them. We realized within an hour of booking that the accommodation was nowhere near where we wanted to be. After attempting to contact the office, we tried Expedia customer service and they could not reach the hotel either. It took the hotel, until the middle of the following day to respond to our request and they refused to wave their fee under any circumstances, so we decided we would stay there anyway, not wanting to lose the money. The rooms are all cute, cozy and ours was very quiet and clean. The back yard garden area was peaceful and quiet. The beds were comfortable. The whole house is very quiet and peaceful. The staff upon arrival were nice but the whole feel is awkward. Breakfast is served at a large communal table, so you're kind of forced to make small talk with strangers At 8-9 o'clock in the morning. Breakfast, while nicely done was really lunch or dinner. The main course was Sea bass with risotto. I just don't see the point. How about eggs or pancakes or something normal? Overall, we were pleasantly surprised with the accommodation but would only suggest it to people who are interested in that style of service and realize their no cancellation policy.

Bad Memories for "Memories Room"

While we enjoyed the gardens and delicious breakfast, we feel that our room should be taken out of the guest pool during construction and unusually warm weather. Neither my husband or I got a moment’s rest and sleep during our stay. The fan at the end of the stairwell did not reach our upstairs room and the small fan provided for our use did nothing to make the room more inhabitable. Adding to our discomfort was the excessive noise of traffic and construction that began at 6:30 am. Overall, we were quite disappointed since Thistle-Down is advertised as a luxury stay and priced accordingly.

Excellent B&B Experience

Our night at Thistledown House was our last stop in Vancouver before heading home after 3 weeks of traveling up the West Coast - and it did not disappoint! Liz was super accommodating to our early check in request and had the room ready for us much earlier than anticipated. We really appreciated this consideration as it allowed us to relax a little longer before heading out into the Capilano Park - just up the road. After an afternoon of exploring and an evening of looking for local food, it was really nice coming back to our room (The Snuggery) and unwinding. Overall we agreed that this was the best night's sleep we'd had our whole trip as the bed was so comfy and the surroundings very quiet. Would definitely reccomend to friends travelling in Vancouver!

Weather unfortunately too cold to make use of the balcony that was linked to our room but was a nice added bonus none the less. Breakfasts were a little too adventurous for our tastes. Would be good to have some traditional foods on offer rather than three courses of different things i.e. whiskied apples and spaghetti with pesto sauce. Yorkshire housekeeper Carol (?) (sorry if we've got the wrong name!) was lovely, friendly and a credit to the staff there.

Lovely B&B. Will be back next time.

Loved the Thistle Down B&B. It was the wifey and I first trip to Vancouver and my first time at a Bed and Breakfast. I'm glad we made this choice over a traditional corporate hotel. Liz and her husband were absolutely lovely hostesses and the daily breakfast meals that she made for use will forever spoil my expectations of what a proper traditional breakfast should be. It was that good. The room was comfortable, clean and quiet. Perfect for a couple who doesn't require a lot of space. The neighbourhood was very nice too. We fell in love with Vancouver and are already planning our next trek out there again. The Thistle Down is high up on our list to stay again.

Beautifully presented B&B with amazing breakfast

My husband and I stayed in the Apple Tree room and it was really well presented. Appreciated the freedom to come & go as we wanted with a personal door code. All the details and touches you'd expect from a 5* hotel, including a glass of port or sherry on arrival! Breakfast was an event: 3 courses of YUM! Liz the host was incredible and everything you could ask of a host. The only minor niggles were the lack of blackout blinds and the overly bouncy bed (hubby moves around in his sleep and this kept waking me up).
