Snuggled on Salt Spring Island, the Tudor-style Hastings House captures the essence of the English countryside. Scattered throughout the lovely grounds, the rooms and suites are housed within ivy-covered garden cottages and the timber-framed barn. High Tea and pre-dinner cocktails are served daily in the lounge. Hastings House boasts one of the most accomplished kitchens in British Colombia. Longtime executive chef Marcel Kauer and his brigade have the great fortune to draw on British Columbia’s Pacific Northwest bounty. The wine list, although international in scope, features a slate of reds and white from B.C.’s Okanagan Valley.
