Phillip and I

If it’s some R & R you’re after, in a place where the folks are friendly and things move slowly… allow me to introduce you to Phillip and I.
First off, Roberts Creek has nothing and everything all at once. General store, a library, natural foods store, a couple of art galleries, awesome restaurant and café, a spa, yoga and of course — lots of water, a tranquil hiking trail and Gibsons and Sechelt really close by.
The Clwyd Cottage was built by Phillip’s woodworking students. The fireplace, antiques, clawed tub are the added touches that make it feel like someone’s home. And the picture sitting window in the bedroom looking onto the beautiful gardens make it easy to escape the world, curl up and cuddle with a bottle of wine and a good book for hours on end. Ahhhh…
(There’s also a second room called the Turret Room, upstairs in the main house.)
But it’s the people that make this place so serene. Phillip and Sharon are lovely, kindhearted hosts with quiet voices and sincere smiles. They serve breakfast (your choice of traditional English, continental or the special and an «appetizer») at the dining room table or in your room. Tea comes in your own special pot and the company was delightful. Be ready for early mornings, breakfast is served until 9am… but you can be like me: eat and then crawl back into bed armed with a book and the same view of the gardens. Make sure you sneak peaks at the awesome stove: clawfoot, gas and convection, it looks old, but it’s new and beautiful!
If you don’t like doilies, antiques and quiet time, this isn’t your place. But if it’s peace you’re seeking, you might just find a little slice of it here. Sigh.
