Dunlop Inn

The accommodation boasts immaculate cleanliness, friendly staff, and exceptional hospitality. Guests enjoyed varied breakfast options and convenient waterfront location. However, some mentioned limited kitchen amenities.

This place is top notch all across the board. The location right on the Lake, the big beautiful boardwalk (brand new with new lounge chairs!), the breakfast with fresh berries, homemade breads etc., and the people who own/run it- all 10/10! You will not be disappointed! We took the kayaks out on a quiet morning and it was perfection. The owners have a young family and are there plenty and are so helpful. If you have a question or need anything and they’re not on site the staff at The Telegraph house are there to help 24/7. This place was the highlight of our trip.

The property itself is lovely. Although right next door to a boat yard and across the street from an automotive repair/sales shop. Breakfast was included and fairly straightforward and available until 10:00am which is nice. Deck facing water is nice but some of the deck chairs were cracked and all them were in need of replacement. We booked our room online and looked forward to a garden view room. What we got was the front downstairs parlour converted into a small, dark room. The washroom was built in the early 90’s or so and made the smaller cramped room even smaller. The windows faced the entrance of the house and the road/auto shop. If the window shades were open we were exposed to the street and the boatyard and everyone who came or went into the inn. There was an a/c unit but it didn’t work well and kept turning itself down and then turning back on every 30 minutes. We spent the entire night awake and hot bc we couldn’t keep windows open wo having the bright lights from the entrance way shining into our room for anyone to look in at ground level at us sleeping. Sleep was impossible bc of this and also bc the bed was very old and in dire need of mattress replacement. At 279.00 a night we felt duped. It was the only room on the ground floor and was not advertised as the room we received. When we mentioned this the next morning and asked for one of the upstairs rooms we were told there weren’t any available. We said fine and that we would leave that day instead of staying. The front desk woman told us we would have to stay in the room bc they had a 14 day cancellation policy, however we could switch over to their motel down the street. We didn’t want to stay in a motel and at this point just wanted to leave. She was adamant that we would have to pay and stay / pay and motel it or pay and leave. She did say we could sit around and wait and if they could rebook our room then we were free to go. We felt held hostage on our vacation. It was really stressful and unprofessional. We were fairly vocal about what we thought about this and she finally spoke to the owner and we were “allowed” to go and told we would not be responsible for the second night. The room we were given was #5. The Mabel Bell room. It shouldn’t be offered as a 279 a night room. It was awful. Don’t know what upstairs rooms look like but would recommend being sure you don’t get #5.
