Very friendly staff, they welcomed our dogs and offered a really good service. The room is spacious and clean and the breakfast included in the price is really good. The pub attached to the hotel offers good food at fair prices and our dogs were also welcome in the patio. Recommended for families with dogs visiting Vancouver Island

While on vacation with another couple we shared a room at the Waddling Dog. The Inn was easy to find, the beds were very comfortable and we all slept very well. The Inn was very quiet and the breakfast was very good. Next time we decide to visit the Butchert Gardens, I will book our rooms at the Waddling Dog again.

Loved this hotel and would recommend to anyone coming to this end of the island. Although 30 minutes from Victoria, it’s well worth it. Staff were friendly, breakfast was great, rooms were updated but still kept the original hotel charm.
