The owner and staff were unbelievably personable. Mike, the owner was truly a gem. The dockside was an amazing place to stay with great water views and amazing proximity to downtown shopping. The room is extremely clean and spacious and it was such a delight. We loved eating at the restaurant as well. That was certainly a plus. Breakfast with The view and the sunrise and sunsets were incredible. Can't wait to go back again.

We were so surprised at the size of the room for the money that we paid, which included 2 bedroom areas, a livingroom/dining area, a kitchenette and beautiful bathroom. The only downfall was the stairs to climb up to the rooms BUT it was worth it when you got up there and seen the view, right on the harbour/boardwalk. The restaurant was excellant, with home cooked breakfasts and meals, we would definately stay there if we return to Nova Scotia!

Views were amazing! People amazing! The lower ceilings in the bathroom and kitchen area caused me to have to duck and when I forgot once, the result was a bloody head and headache. Perhaps a padding or something similar should be placed on the frame?

A couple of things, beware if you are over 6 ft for hazards! Also know that street parking is very busy and that there is. No elevator. They also only had 1 key for for adults. Furth t, the rooms are not professionally finished, disappointing for spending over $400//night offseason!

Our room had a picture postcard view of the harbor in Lunenburg and a kitchen. Furnishings are a little dated but comfortable nonetheless. The convenience of the restaurant downstairs with outdoor dining was great and the food good. We would stay here again.
