OUR GUEST COMMENTS FOR THE YEAR 2003 - Thank you very much for the food and Safari House. Everything was great. We appreciated you having us. Sherry and Luke F., Surrey, BC, Canada. Thanks so much for the great stay. I enjoyed it very much. Kris M., Hinton, AB, Canada. We enjoyed our night in The Safari House very much. Everything was perfect - dinner, breakfast, everything!! I can honestly say I will be back, the rooms are really beautifully decorated and the bathrooms are AWESOME!! Thanks a million. Melissa and Scott, Burnaby, BC, Canada. Thank you so much for providing the best anniversary ever. We loved everything. Your place is beautiful and the restaurant was amazing. We will be telling everyone about this place. A Night in Heaven. You guys have made this the perfect weekend ever. Your rooms are amazing! Thanks for everything again. Lisa and Michael, Burnaby, BC, Canada. Thank you for providing a haven before a long journey and after a long journey. Your warm welcome has added to my trip to Peru (perhaps a Llama or two?) Your service to and from the airport was a real godsend. The decor of the suite makes it more a home from home than a place to pass the night. I'll be spreading the good news (in the Comox Valley) that you are there. Thanks again. Tom M. Courtenay, Vancouver Island, BC, Canada. Thank you very much for the lovely time! Dinner was absolutely amazing (I thought little romantic restaurants like that, only existed in the movies). The Safari House is extraordinarily decorated and pleasing to our eyes. The mini-tour we got from Brian was great. I'm going to bring my friends back to Steveston because it is just gorgeous! Thank you so much for spoiling Andrew and I. Many thanks. Lauren and Andrew D., Langley, BC, Canada. Thank you for all the lovely little things! We thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet and all the sumptuous breakfasts. We felt very much at home except we were more appreciated. Pauline, Michael, Brendon and Rachel V., Victoria, BC, Canada. A very good start to our Canadian holiday. Very friendly and informative on all things Canadian, superb breakfasts and we hope to return some day. Geoff and Anna H., Townsville, Queensland, Australia. Well, here we are back again now at the end of a lovely holiday and what an excellent way to start and finish it. Thank you for looking after us, we will be recommending you to everyone who will listen! Best wishes and hope to see you again on our next visit. P.S. Thank you very much for letting us relax in The Safari House until our flight late in the evening. Very kind and much appreciated. P.P.S. Thank you for the bubbly, sparkly send off (with strawberries)!! Paul and Karina C., Suffolk, England. This is a great place to stay and a very nice ambience has been created in your accommodation. I have stayed in dozens of BB's in our country and outside and this one of the top 20. Thanks again. Shirley D. This has been a superb ending to our 3 week holiday in and around Alberta and B.C. Thank you for recommending The Seafood Restaurant - the food was delicious and watching the sunset was awesome! Our accommodation was/is fantastic, you've thought of everything we needed to relax and unwind - and what can we say about breakfast - just great. Back home to England now (to start our diets!!). Thanks for taking us in at short notice too!! Hope we can visit again sometime during our travels to Canada. Take care. Olive and Jim, Ipswich, England. Many many thanks for your kindness and consideration. I really enjoyed my stay and will come again, (I hope in the near future). You have a beautiful place. May you have a wonderful future here. I shall always think of my time chatting with you both. Fond wishes. Bless You. Olive P., Courtenay, BC, Canada. This is like a little Paradise. Beautiful Garden, swimming pool and all kinds of places to sit and relax and a breakfast at The Stone Hedge so sumptuous to remember for a long time. Your friend Vivian M., Montreal, QC, Canada. From the fleecy robes and the chocolate on our pillows to the fabulous breakfasts in the morning, The Stone Hedge surpassed all expectations. Thanks for the terrific stay! Rita and David K., Edmonton, AB, Canada. You have set the standard for our BB accommodations on this holiday! Thank you for looking after us so well - we have delighted in all the detail (especially the flowers in the you-know-where!) it is the kind gestures that turn a really, really good BB into a really excellent one and you have excelled! Looking forward to coming back in two weeks time and going all African. Karina and Paul C., Suffolk, United Kingdom. Great breakfast. Lovely Place. Thanks for all the information - must return one day. Joan and Graham C., Leighton, United Kingdom. Thank you for providing my first taste of Canadian Hospitality! Your house is stunning as was the breakfast. Thanks for making my first night in Canada so wonderful! Jen and Ryan, Sydney, Australia. We had a really wonderful night in your beautiful Safari House. Thank you very much for your warm hospitality and great food. We will definitely come back again. Will see you soon! Frances and Eddie, Vancouver, BC, Canada. A place to recommend to friends and family. Thank you so much. Reiner F., ON, Canada. I had mixed emotions of leaving family and Ontario. But our first night in Richmond was wonderful. You really made us feel welcomed. A truly wonderful experience. We thank you so much for our stay. Excellent Food, outstanding service. A little piece of paradise. Thank you again. Jackie and Reiner F., Richmond, BC, Canada. Take it from a 3rd Timer, this is a great place to stay! Thanks as usual. Andrew O., Lakefield, ON, Canada.

Age 12, Shawnagin Lake, BC, Canada. Thanks for the wonderful time. Mike O. Lakefield, ON, Canada. The ultimate hosts! We have never been so pampered and relaxed as at this sojourn. Believe us when we say you have not seen the last of the... Phipps-Carpentars, WA, USA. This is the first night we have ever spent in Canada and what a treat! It's difficult to imagine how the rest of our trip can live up to it. The room, and all your hospitality are the best welcome we could have hoped for. Thank you. Tanya B., Bonn, Germany and Jonathan F., Bedfordshire, United Kingdom. Well, exactly one year on and we did return!! The high level of expectation was more than fulfilled. Your recommendations of where to go and stay were yet again brilliant. Can't make next year as off to New Zealand but already looking forward to 2005. Nice to see the rare species was still in resident. John and Bev C., Worcester, England. I completely forgot what day it is. I'm so comfortable. Thank y'all so very very much. I have read some of the other notes and I agree with all of them. In my future I will always eat my ice cream with maple syrup and my watermelon with honey/lime/ginger sauce. I thank you and my baby thanks you (especially for the breakfast and the rest and my husband thanks you). Thank you so much for your hospitality. We had a wonderful stay and delighted in your stories of Africa and Drake's Nuevo Albion. With great thanks. Alex and Holly M., Boulder, CO, USA. The experience was far more than expected - and we had HIGH expectations!! The hospitality was impeccable, the decor was detailed, warm and full of surprises (Q-Tips and shower caps hidden in the bathrooms!!), and the foodI've NEVER had a 5 course breakfast!! What spectacular presentation! Rob and Janna S., Remy and Ben S., Virginia Beach, USA. Our best stay pretty well anywhere. Love the bed - the privacy and hospitality. Will recommend and return.

OUR GUEST COMMENTS FOR THE YEAR 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 BB 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 BB. 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 BB. 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.

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 BB 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 briefbut unforgettable! Many thanks. Cristine and Stefano, Genoa, Italy. Roses are red, violets are blue, B.C.'s best BB 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.!
