This is our second time at Dark Horse Farm on an extended stay. This is a gem in so many ways. The location is quiet and yet near everything you would need to for a short or extended period. The hosts are great and the house has everything you need. The Cowichan Valley has lots to see and do and Dark Horse Farm is a comfortable place to come back to at the end of your day. We would encourage anyone looking for moderately priced accommodation to consider the Dark Horse Farm.
