A cozy older hotel that was clean, quiet and comfortable. The wing back chairs were a treat to sit in, as most hotels have uncomfortable cheap seating in the room if there is any at all. I felt the price was a bit much, but it was close to Buchart Gardens where we were headed.

Hostess Jennifer at the front desk’s customer service skills is simply unparalleled. This hotel’s architecture is unique and cozy and your pet is welcome. There is ample parking, and a short walk to public ocean access to a 17km walking trail if you wish. The attached pub and grill’s food is delicious. The bedding is literally perfect. If you want to be comfortable and travel with your dog and want to be well taken care of this hotel offers exceptional service and quality

I love staying at the Waddling Dog. Loads of character and old English charm. Great onsite pub. Lovely breakfast available in the library. Conveniently located close to ferries, Butchart Gardens, and (my favourite) the Saanich Fair!
