Hedgerow House

One of Salt Spring Island’s most popular B&Bs is under new ownership, recently bought by a couple with a long history in the tourism and hospitality business. They know what they’re doing, and what they’re doing is offering a luxe little sanctuary on the edge of Ganges, the island’s main town. The decor is a comfortable, sun-drenched mix of traditional and modern: on the one hand, sloping ceilings, hardwood floors, Persian rugs, and French doors; on the other, graphic floral print cushions, boldly colored testament walls, and round-based night table lamps. Expect comfortable beds, fluffy towels, walks that meander through gardens and woods, a wholesome breakfast, and the sort of peace and serenity that will make you want to curl up with a good book.
