The Spotlight on Dashwood Manor Seaside Bed & Breakfast

Seaside Charm Meets City Sounds

A peaceful, adults-only escape by the ocean, Dashwood Manor Seaside Bed & Breakfast blends classic charm with coastal views in the heart of Victoria. Located just steps from Spiral Beach and a short ride from the downtown music scene, this cozy B&B provides a tranquil home base for concert-goers who want to unwind after the show.
Each room is uniquely decorated and features a flat-screen TV, private bathroom, and some even offer a balcony with sea views. With complimentary WiFi and free private parking, it’s as convenient as it is charming.

Why Concert-goers love it

Whether you're catching a show downtown or at the Inner Harbour, this B&B is just 1.9 miles from Victoria Inner Harbor Airport—making late-night rideshares or taxi returns a breeze. Its peaceful, adults-only setting ensures a quiet night’s sleep post-concert. While check-in starts at 2:00 PM, early check-outs are required (by 8:00 AM), so plan accordingly if you're sleeping in after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Couples making a romantic concert weekend out of it
- Solo travelers seeing a favorite artist and wanting a calm retreat
- Fans looking to recharge in a peaceful, beachfront setting
- Budget-conscious music lovers seeking value with character
- Small friend groups (adults only) wanting a unique B&B experience

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, guests enjoy a delicious breakfast—perfect for slow mornings after a late gig. There are several cafes and restaurants within walking distance, and each room has a coffee station for that essential pre-show caffeine fix. Note: no 24/7 dining or room service is available, so plan your late-night eats accordingly.

Nightlife Options

Though the B&B itself doesn’t offer nightlife, it’s a short ride or bike into downtown Victoria, where you'll find live music bars, cozy pubs, and cocktail lounges. Afterward, return to the quiet seaside for some well-earned rest.

What People Say

Guests rave about the incredible ocean views, charming historic feel, and the peaceful atmosphere. Many say it’s “a perfect mix of location and relaxation,” with standout reviews for the friendly hosts and “better-than-hotel” comfort.

Areas for Improvement

The early 8:00 AM checkout can be tough after a late night, and some guests note that the vintage charm comes with slightly dated decor. Plus, it’s not the spot if you're craving room service or on-site nightlife.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers wanting a peaceful, character-filled stay just minutes from Victoria’s music venues, Dashwood Manor offers a scenic, restful retreat by the sea.

Location, location,, location!

Liked: Location was brilliant, right on the sea front 5 minutes from eating and drinking establishments, 30 minutes walk in to the centre of Victoria, great park across the road really nice community atmosphere and a 5 minute walk to the Saturday Park Run event.
Disliked: Nothing to report.

Compared to other small accommodation...

Liked: We were disappointed with the breakfast. The second day was better than the first day, but not the standard we expected based on price paid and our experience in another nearby small heritage hotel.
Disliked: When we arrived I was both surprised and disappointed by the poor landscaping, extensive weeds, worn and dirty front stairs into the property. Within the room, while the bathroom was extremely large, it was most unappealing and the tiny shower was uncomfortable and difficult to use.

Wonderful staff, room in disrepair

Liked: The staff were fantastic, as was the location and breakfast. The cookies and snacks available 24/7 alongside water bottles and pop was wonderful. The location was beautiful.
Disliked: The room we stayed in had dirty windowsill and around the bath tub was visibly dirty, there was a lot of peeling and chipped wallpaper, the curtains were fraying with strings of fabric draping to the floor. The toilet seat had multiple chips in it.

Location is perfect, the Manor...

Liked: Breakfast was great:)) It was hot and busy in there. Possibly could have used more staff
Disliked: Our room was not updated. Im aware they dont want to lose the style of the house. But updating the bathroom fixtures would be nice
