ThistleDown House
There's an atmosphere of tranquility at ThistleDown House. You will experience a calm purity from your first step to its generous veranda until you fall asleep under a goosedown or silk-filled duvet in one of five bedrooms brimful of individuality, antiques and works of art from around the world. In the morning you will gently waken to taste bud arousing aromas of freshly ground coffee and breads still warm from the oven. Your main course may be asparagus and black forest ham crepe with chantilly sauce, smoked salmon and herbed cream vol-au-vent, portabella mushrooms in demi-glace cream or fillet of rainbow trout. Deliciously creative breakfasts are a social event in the Craftsman-designed dining room. Go off for a day in superbly cosmopolitan Vancouver, but return in the late afternoon for tea served in the shade of an apple tree in summer or in front of the fire in the lounge in winter. Curl up for the evening or visit one of many great restaurants nearby. You will love ThistleDown House!
