Menu for Hastings House Country House Hotel in Salt Spring Island, BC

A very exceptional dining experience. We were lucky enough to dine at Hastings House before the season ended. A good selection... of cocktails, local beers and wines. The oysters and mignonette were an amazing way to start our meal. The Belgian endive,blue cheese, and pecan salad was rich and delicious and balanced nicely with a balsamic vinegar reduction. This was my firsttime eating spätzle in a restaurant and it was seasoned exceptionally well. The mushroom sauce paired nicely with the roastedvegetables and pork schnitzel. Probably our favourite dish of the night, the pan seared scallops and Caesar salad. The croutonswere very crunchy and the scallops were seared beautifully. Ending the night with their chocolate creme brûlée and Halloweenfireworks show was quite the finale. Read more

It’s splurgy but if you’re looking for a special meal/experience it’stotally worth it. Read more

I was so lucky to have been invited for a two night stay at the charming Hastings House. The moment I set foot on the beautiful... grounds, I felt serene and comfortable. Each room is unique and personalized with our name at our door. As well, it was soinviting to be greeted by fresh flowers in the room and an adorable homemade sheep on the night table. We enjoyed walking thebeautiful grounds, enjoying views of the calming ocean, as well as exploring the farm, feeding the sheep, and even tasting acherry tomato and strawberry from the greenhouse. Although we fully enjoyed the filling daily breakfast at the Manor, we weremore charmed by the simple but delicious fresh baked warm muffins outside the door every morning (yes, a different flavour eachday) - such a personal touch. As well, I cannot say enough good things about the wonderful and warm staff at Hastings House. Inparticular, Alan the general manager was very hospitable and inviting, as well as generous and helpful. You can see that hetruly cares about his guests. Finally, the location is truly ideal. It’s a short walking distance into town, and very closeto the ferry harbour. I cannot stop raving about how truly memorable and unforgettable my stay was. I’m thankful to have hadthis experience. Everyone should have this incredible experience! Read more
