Our stay at The Cranberry Moon Inn was fantastic. This B&B was convenient located in Bala, which allowed for us to enjoy a variety of winter activities in the area. The B&B was beautifully finished. You really can see the thought that was put into how it was planned and decorated. The owners, Kim and Doug, were excellent hosts. They really catered to our every need.

The best compliment t that I can pay is that Doug and Kim made it feel like I was staying with friends. They went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and to make things available that would make my stay enjoyable. The rooms are stunning as is the view. I visited the local winery, did a cranberry plunge, went kayaking on the moon river right in front of the inn - they supplied the kayak at no cost. The town is delightful and steps away from the In. So you can take a walk and enjoy the lake, the river, the falls, a few cute boutiques and a couple of restaurants. If you go during the Cranberry Festival (I didn’t) the population of roughly 800 swells to over 20,000 for the weekend with music, food and shopping vendors and lots more walkable from the Inn. I would definitely go again.

We had a great experience except for one thing. They didn't make up our beds, leave fresh towels or empty the garbage while we were out for the day. Otherwise fabulous. Kim and Doug were wonderful hosts!

Kim and Doug go out of their way to ensure you are comfortable, you are enjoying your stay. Yes the house is under renovations, but still do pretty now! When they are done it will be gorgeous. They provide nice SUP boards for your enjoyment and the lake is literally 50 steps across the road. We will be back.

This place is a brand new gem. Beautiful, spotless room, most comfortable enormous bed, one of the best showers I’ve ever experienced. Kim and Doug are the charming hosts. We had a delightful chat with them over a great breakfast on their lovely patio with a view of the river. Bala is a short walk, including the amazing Kee to Bala venue, where we were watching the phenomenal Tiny Horse open for the glorious Glorious Sons. A trip to remember for all the right reasons.

Really great experience. Rooms were very clean and the house that they are just finishing renovating is beautiful. I believe this was their second weekend open and they were doing everything to understand how to improve the experience, however I think they have nailed it already. Very friendly and lots of local knowledge. Walking distance to downtown Bala and The Kee. We didn't use the kayaks or paddle boards but they are a 30 second walk to a dock and boat launch. Thanks for a great experience and good luck as you build your business.
