The Stone Hedge: Guest Comments 2004

How I love this part of the world, especially the Canadians who inhabit it. I always miss B.C. when I am away. Thank you for your hospitality. I'll carry it with me and tell all the US folks to come visit.
Carol K., Falls Church, VA, USA

What a wonderful introduction to Canada! Our every need and dream fulfilled, fed superbly, kept in the lap of luxury throughout - Linda and Brian are the best B&B hosts, ever; they have given us a real sense of having a home away from home. No hotel could begin to match the level of comfort and care provided at The Stone Hedge.
Sue and Graham M., Bowning, NSW, Australia

You are wonderful hosts. We really enjoyed our stay with you. Thank you for the airport pickup, tour and "rescuing the wanderers". The breakfast was to-die-for. We learned a short history lesson and how history changes - thank you for the education. It can't get better!
Bruce and Barbara B., Lakeville, MN, USA

This is our first visit to Canada and the first B&B. We are very impressed. Lovely room, gardens and pool. Breakfast was great. We're looking forward to our return on the 28th of September. Bedankt!
Joost and Elze S., Ysselstein, The Netherlands

Thank you for your wonderful warm and caring welcome. You have treated me with such kindness and have really set my "journey" off on a great footing. Your home is wonderful and I really hope to be able to visit again in the not to distant future. Your breakfasts are to die for Linda. "Mr. Cooper" - keep up the pies!
Barbara J., Hampshire, England

We cannot thank you enough for hosting our wonderful wedding at your B&B. The family enjoyed the luxury of staying on site, swimming in the warm pool, and eating tasty breakfasts. We were delighted how you decorated for our wedding and helped with our music, food and drink distribution. Everyone seemed to enjoy being with us. We heard many compliments about the service and beauty here. The gorgeous flowers as before when we visited, proved a highlight as did the favourable weather. We look forward to returning for our 1st Anniversary. Thanks again. Your extra touches meant a lot to us.
Marg and Allen G., Vernon, BC, Canada

Your hospitality was wonderful as well as the gourmet breakfasts. The decor was beautiful and very restful...especially the mattresses! Thanks again.
Beth Mc., Courtney, BC, Canada

Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality. I loved everything about your place. Hope to be able to stay here again.
Janet K. and son Jacob, Vernon, BC, Canada

Thank you for the wonderful stay. Marg and Allen will always remember their lovely wedding. The Captains Quarters were very comfortable for this sea officer. Thanks for everything again.
Carol L., Vernon, BC, Canada

Great Place, Great Food, Great and Friendly Service. Mom was very happy to have her wedding here. Wish I could have stayed here too.
Mike K., Vernon, BC, Canada

Bonjour! We really appreciated our stay here. Hoping we could have stayed longer. Your house is a "dream house". Everything we can wish for our own house. Taste (good) and elegancy are two words to describe this B&B experience. Thanks again for everything.
Michele and Vincent, Montreal, QC, Canada

This was one of our first experiences with B&B's. We will certainly change our mode of travel from now on. We really enjoyed the company and knowledge gained. The rooms, the exquisite back yard was truly an experience. Thank you again.
Randy B., Federal Way, WA, USA

Our stay at The Stone Hedge was more than a delight, it was unforgettable. I tried to talk our group into staying a second night, It was very restful and "What a breakfast!"
Neal and Sandy C., Federal Way, WA, USA

I am a princess! I have never felt so pampered. What a delight! Thank you.
Dixie B., Federal Way, WA, USA

We can't thank you enough for all the great service and hospitality you have provided over the weekend. You truly made our wedding even more special by giving us a place to relax and unwind. This B&B is truly unique and beautiful! Love The Safari House and the food is exceptional. Thank you. Being here you feel like your many miles away. Doesn't feel like your in Richmond. I don't know why anyone would want to stay at a hotel when you can have your own private pool, room and a delicious four course breakfast. Thanks again Brian and Linda.
Gurminder and Kalpna M., Surrey, BC, Canada

Our only regret is not staying long enough! Thank you for your great hospitality. We enjoyed every second of our stay. We're really sorry that we didn't get back in time (to Richmond) to visit the Cannery and see the sunset but that will be our excuse to come back! Definitely a place to recommend to Family and Friends.
Judy S. and Marc D., St. Jerome, QC, Canada

Unfortunately our stay was so brief....but unforgettable! Many thanks.
Cristine and Stefano, Genoa, Italy

Roses are red, violets are blue, B.C.'s best B&B host and hostess - That's You. Thanks for a wonderful, relaxing. laughter-filled stay.
Virginia B., Montreal, QC, Canada

We are pleased that we found The Stone Hedge on the web. It's proven to be the ideal family retreat for us over this course of the past week. It's been great having the pool for laps every morning and being able to play "musical chairs" through your different rooms as various members of our family have come and gone. We so appreciate your hospitality - from printing off e-mails to encouraging us to go the Cannery ( I confess I was a skeptic and am now a convert), to storing our steaks and fruit platters, and providing afternoon sticky buns to snack on. I'll think of you back in London when I look at my Canada key chain. Best wishes and many thanks.
Heather and Neil S., London, England

My impression of Bed and Breakfast is changed forever. You definitely take this idea to a new level. Breakfasts that make your mouth water and get one going early in the morning. And Brian - you are a wealth of information, always a quirky fact to relate or a tale to tell. Really enjoyed it all. If I come back, it will be here! Take care and will be in touch.
Scott B., Montreal, QC, Canada

Thank you very much for your wonderful hospitality. You have a fantastic location with great facilities. The pool and Jacuzzi tub really take the edge off the hot days and cool evenings. Our compliments to the chef whose imagination every morning got our days off on the right foot. We will be back.
Derek B., Montreal, QC, Canada

Great location - very convenient and very quiet. Super service from our hosts. Breakfast not recommended for weight watchers!
Superman D. C'etait - cool!! Elisa D. J'adore tout! Jan D., France and Belgium

C'etait un sejour magnifique et tres agreable! Nous, nous sommes bien amuses! Merci pour votre accueif tres chaleureux!
Marion D., Villeneqve-les-Bordes, France

Out stay at your house was a "super start" of our Canadian holiday! We couldn't imagine a better place to forget stress and the work we had at home before we left. Many thanks.
Hilde et Ingemar D., Villeneuve-les-Bordes, France

One would never suspect that in a corner of a quite unassuming Richmond neighbourhood, one would find ...A SAFARI ROOM!! Truly delightful; wild even! We had a lovely stay. Excellent breakfasts. Lovely atmosphere. Many sweet touches.
Vern A. & Cheryl H., Roma, Italia

Thanks for the wonderful hospitality, beautiful home, relaxing atmosphere and the food was fantastic. Matt sure enjoyed the pool and all-night private T.V.
Carmel, Bert, Matt (and Kristine for a visit) G., Kelowna, BC, Canada

What a wonderful place to stay! This home abounds with friendliness, hospitality and ambiance. The bed and bath were bonuses. Thank you for the warm welcome not only to us, but to our relatives who came to visit! You made out last night in B.C. very special, Brian and Linda. Hopefully we'll make it back some day.
Marie and Ken A., Burlington, ON, Canada

What a wonderful way to enjoy a first visit to B.C.! The rooms were great, the food incredible and the hosts friendly and knowledgeable. Brian is a walking encyclopedia of B.C. history! Thanks for making our stay so enjoyable!
Mara and Mike, Phoenix, AZ, USA

You have been super hosts - we have been so cossetted and looked after. From incredible breakfasts, flowers everywhere and a really comfortable bed. Thank you for an unforgettable week. A special thanks to Manuel and his wife who did it all.
Dr.'s Richard and Sian K., Devon, England

A July 4th we will always remember - what an amazing place to stay. Real hospitality - great people - very enjoyable last day in BC. Pity we are returning home to England.
Sylvia and Major B., Staffordshire, England

Unprecedented hospitality. A peaceful oasis. This is how we found your B&B. Thank you Brian and Linda for making our stay so enjoyable and relaxing. We have travelled quite a bit and you deserve a five-star rating.
Ali L. and Agnes K., USA

Good sleep! Good breakfasts! Good Environment! Good conversation! What more to ask?
Shizue T., Seattle, WA, USA

Beautiful rooms, beautiful gardens, and wonderful hospitality. This was a perfect environment for three visitors attending an "Ikebana" (Japanese Flower Arranging) workshops and demonstration. Enjoyed the Canadian history and the maple syrup, too!
Diane E., Seattle, WA, USA

I loved the welcome atmosphere with all kinds of flowers with food, on bed and all corners of the rooms. Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality. I'll be back again. Linda will make a skilled Ikebana (Japanese flower arrangement) person.
Nobuko R., Seattle, WA, USA

Really appreciate and thanks for your hospitality. I enjoy this unforgettable business trip. As a traveller magazine editor, I promise when I back in my country - Taiwan - I must introduce and recommend your nice accommodation to our readers. Come and visit and make friends with both of you! Feel your hospitality.
Joyce L. and Chuang M., "Mook Magazine", Taiwan

Thanks so much for a relaxing place to unwind before our trip back. Come see us.
Judy B. and her sister Sharon, Dallas, TX, USA

The food is terrific! The hosts are so amiable - you are the best! Thanks so much for sharing your home, your gardens, your Italianate pool! I was in heaven. We both had a most relaxing stay and appreciated having our every need tended to so we could focus on the purpose of our visit. All the best.
Stephanie, Seattle, WA and Usha, Portland, OR, USA

We really enjoyed our stay in your garden oasis. What a lovely get-away in the middle of the city. The breakfast was sublime - all the wonderful courses while serenaded by the birds. A little slice of heaven to surprise Brad with for his 38th - I mean 31st Birthday! Richmond is the perfect place for bikers - it's too bad we have to head for the hills so soon. Thanks for your truly wonderful hospitality and the refreshing dips in the pool.
Brad and Karen G., "The Burnaby Bikers", Burnaby, BC, Canada

Its not often you find buried treasure, but when you do the thrill is pure delight! Thanks Linda and Brian for the ambience extraordinaire. I will often think of the Stone Hedge when I need a mental escape from my hectic life! Thanks for this pleasure especially!
Karla S., Bainbridge, WA, USA

Calm and Relaxing atmosphere. The rooms are wonderful, the beds very soft and luxurious. Cozy and friendly with so many extras! Great place to stay when your away from home.
Don and Lycha, Edmonton, AB, Canada

Thank you for going to all the trouble of running us around and fresh cut flowers.
Joan and Philip J., Courtenay, BC, Canada

Lovely ambience, beautiful breakfast, great hospitality. I will return.
Kip H., Vancouver Island, BC, Canada

Thank you for providing us with such a quiet, private and beautiful get-away. You have a wonderful talent for pampering us and making us feel special. It was great!
Vic and Nellie E., Chilliwack, BC, Canada

What a wonderful retreat from the "big city". Brian and Linda you have created a haven with all the trimmings. The eggs benny was delicious and the Jacuzzi tub was like a vacation in itself. Thank you so much.
Amber and Vince W., Vancouver, BC, Canada

Thanks Brian and Linda for a wonderful and memorable time. Next time we need to sneak into town, we'll be here.
Bob and Judy S., Victoria, BC, Canada

Thank you for making my Richmond business trip very enjoyable and comfortable. See you next year!
