"The owner Kim and Doug have been extremely natural nice and helpful. They renovated their Bed and Breakfast to a super modern accommodation without compromising the feel of staying in a century home. When I say super modern, I refer to the bathrooms and the electrical. The choice of furniture and decor is very inviting and tastefully placed. Kim and Doug are still big time renovating and one of their next projects is the kitchen and I'm sure when done, will just look as beautiful as the rest of the place and replace the continental breakfast with a traditional breakfast. We'll be going back to stay there again and recommend this place highly. "

"It was a very short stay as we only came up for one night as we were attrnding a show in Bala....however, we LOVED it so much we are already planning a fall getaway and summer vacation there next year too..."

"Amazing, highly recommend."

"Stayed August 2025 with family of four. We found other reviews to be largely accurate. Cottage was clean, comfy, well stocked (except we never did find an ice cream scoop lol). BBQ worked, lots of activities indoors and outside, good sitting areas, great location albeit on a busy lake.It's a stretch to say it has AC. There's a portable unit in the back hall with maybe a five/six foot hose. It didn't reach let alone cool the south-facing main area. It's probably fine most times of year but something to consider if you happen to be there during a heat dome like we were.Only other quibble is that we had to drive our garbage/recycling to "transfer station" on our last day per guest book. I don't recall seeing that in the ad. Suggest a lockable bin/shed on site for property manager to deal with instead of guests.Steve was a good host. Friendly, responsive and communicative. Check in instructions were clear, no issues with lockbox. Him and the neighbour Sharon gave helpful suggestions for activities in the area which was a nice touch.Waterski show and Splash Island in Bala were highlights. There's also a quaint RC church next door with its own dock. Good beginner spot for rock bass (prayers for something bigger as yet unanswered).Our family had a great time overall and we would expect yours to as well."

"Great area around hotel, awesome lake."

"I'm in good luck I think. I got mixed reviews for this property. So worried about it before I left for it. But it's total different: very clean. I think that room was renovated recently. "

"My friend and i needed a room with two beds as we were playing golf at Lake joseph golf club and Rocky Crest golf club. Sherwood inn only had rooms with one king or Queen bed only. We were very lucky to come upon Dudley Inn at the hotel.com site! It is only 15 min from Lake Joseph golf club and 25 min from Rocky crest golf club! We were pleasantly surprised. Although there are no amenities on site but the room is spacious with two queen beds! It is well furnished with fridge, microwave, kettle and nepresso machine! Bathroom was very nice with rain shower heads! Most of all, it was very convenient for us to go golfing! "

"Host was welcoming and very helpful. Property was spacious, warm and comfortable. Great family time was enjoyed!"

"Was what I hoped. Cabin is a bit dated, but was clean and nicely equipped, had kitchen facilities and nice living space. Nice quiet area with great scenery. The whole property seems well taken care of. The pool looked great but I didn’t get the chance to try it out. Bbq was provided. Overall a nice but short stay. I’d come back again. "
