The historic manor house at 1 Cook Street, which provides heritage lodging for visitors to Victoria, began with an ambitious and talented Vancouver Island resident, Arthur Lineham. Arthur and Eleanor Lineham built their family home at 1 Cook Street in 1912. In 1978 Derek Dashwood purchased 1 Cook Street and converted the building into a bed and breakfast in the late 1980s.

Dashwood Manor Seaside Bed & Breakfast provides the perfect lodging for vacation holidays, business travel, and romantic getaways. This 1912 heritage home sits gracefully on the edge of Victoria’s scenic marine drive, Dallas Road, and is surrounded by incredible ocean and mountain views, mile long beaches, and the infamous Beacon Hill Park. Just walking distance from Cook Street Village, James Bay, and the inner harbour of downtown Victoria, there is no shortage of incredible restaurants, coffee shops, attractions, and culture to experience during your stay at the Dashwood Manor! Book your stay now to kick back, relax, breathe in the fresh ocean air, and get to know what island living is all about!

Dashwood Manor is located in the Fairfield neighbourhood, known for Cook Street Village, a walkable strip featuring laid-back eateries with sidewalk patios and small indie shops. Stalls crammed with local produce and crafts fill the weekly Moss Street Market, held outdoors in summer. Rows of century-old homes lead to the sea, where Clover Point Park has dramatic views of the Olympic Mountains, and Ross Bay Cemetery marks the burial spot of prominent citizens.
