YOU WANT TO STAY HERE!!!

OMG this place is the REAL DEAL! You have to stay here when you come to Victoria!! The place is super clean, great food offered in the morning, close to dining options and a gas station. The dog motif was top notch as was all of the staff. Upon checking in, the gentleman at counter explained the pub connected to the restaurant and how part was family friendly! We were given adjoining rooms per our request. Rooms were so clean and bright, great bathrooms and wonderful beds!

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.
