We needed a place to stay after attending a family wedding in Ottawa. I chose the Black Lab Inn even though we didn't have the dogs with us because the price was excellent and I figured it would be nice to get a look and see if it would accommodate our 3 dogs on another trip.

We took a more expensive and larger room on the top floor but any of their rooms would have easily accommodated our crew. The decor of the place is elegant and stunning. The rooms are extremely well-equipped and comfortable. The food was marvellous and they modified it to suit my vegetarian wife and my own food allergies. Cliff and Lianne are extremely hospitable and are the kind of people I would be honoured to have as friends.

The headline says it all. After we had breakfast, we couldn't bring ourselves to leave so we stayed an extra day and enjoyed it thoroughly! We can hardly wait to return with the dogs.

Thanks Cliff and Lianne.....see you soon!

My family including our 2 labradors absolutley loved the Black Lab Inn. The food & hospitality was great! A very clean and friendly inn. Our Labs give it endless tail wags & all paws up. My husband & I would book another holiday in a minute. Great location & very close to off leash parks!

We decided on this place because of its location and the previous reviews. We weren't thinking of taking our dog Max but because they accomodate dogs we decided to travel with him. We all were treated like royalty. The rooms were clean and had interesting decor. The meals provided by Cliff were excellent, much more than we expected. Would stay there again.

The only thing nicer than being able to have your dog share your room is when that room is equipped with every comfort in a lovely house near the Rideau, owned by a couple, Cliff and Lianne, who love dogs. The house and yard are spotless and the dog-themed decor is charming. My wife and I, and our dog, just adopted from Hopeful Hearts Rescue, certainly enjoyed our South Ottawa stay the last day of August, 2011.
