Top Lunenburg Waterfront Hotel Reviews

Atlantic View Motel and Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"Thank you for hosting such a beautiful and clean motel!"

Black Forest Cabins

10/10 Excellent

"The setting of the cabins among the trees was so unique and lovely. A quick walk down to main street shopping and restaurants. Super comfortable and cozy stay."

Miller House By the Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Margaret, the home-owner and host, was very welcoming and congenial. Her house had a warm and cozy atmosphere. Our room was upstairs, comfortable, and had a view of the ocean. The shared bathroom down the hall had double sinks. An extensive continental breakfast was setup in the kitchen and included monster croissants and home-made muffins. Upon leaving, she urged us to take a few muffins for the road ... which we did ... delicious. Parking on the street ... very safe neighbourhood. The house exterior and yard needs a little more maintenance."

Salt Shaker Deli & Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was two levels. We did not use the lower kitchen/seating area which seemed to be fully equipped. The bedroom was large with an inviting seating area with two comfortable chairs and a great view of the ocean. The bathroom was large, but the vanity area was small so no real room to set anything on. The shower is also small but gets the job done. Most of the space is taken up by a soaker tub which we never use. The unit is very clean, and well maintained with a lot of modern features and updates. Parking is on the street but we did get lucky and got a spot right by the door."

The Dockside Inn & Restaurant

8/10 Good

"Unbelievable view over the inner harbour and across the Bay…The Bluenose was moored at our feet…excellent location for walking tour of the Historical Downtown."

Oceanfront Cottage on a Quiet Cove Just Outside Lunenburg

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful clean cottage. View is amazing. Loved our stay there. Hope to go back again."

Apple Orchard Cottage Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada

8/10 Good

"Spacious home in a beautiful spot! Great option for families/groups. Water/ice on fridge were out of order and the coffee maker leaked. Could not access basement for laundry or heat pump (to adjust temperature) per owner’s instructions. Great central location to visit many idyllic towns like Lunenburg and Mahone Bay."

Rose & Thistle Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"Such a beautiful house and Rosalie & George make you feel so welcome into their home. Breakfast was wonderful. Thank you so much. We had an amazing time in Lunenburg."

Historic 1785 Cape on 46 Forest Acres/ Water View/Pet Friendly

8/10 Good

"My friend and I enjoyed our stay at this charming cottage. It was clean and well located and Chris and Diane were very welcoming and helpful. The cottage grounds were beautiful and it was a pleasure to be able to sit outside and enjoy our morning coffee.We gave it four out of five stars because there was no indication that both bedrooms and the bathroom were up a steep staircase with an open side (no bannister). Neither of us felt we could take our bags up such steep stairs. While there was an option for an outside shower, the shower in the upstairs bathroom was very cramped and one needed to be limber to use it. I understand this would not be a problem for those who are young and fit, but as both of us had balance issues, it was a problem for us."
