This is a relatively new bed and breakfast and the house is still under construction at the side and rear of the house. It doesn't affect the rooms guests are staying in but is something to be aware of. Some smaller touches are still being refined but the effort is above and beyond. The hosts are both very warm and friendly and conversational as were other guests. It's a smaller location but close to the Lunenburg historical area and has plenty of parking for the number of guests. We had a nice stay.

Most unwelcoming with him demanding payment the moment we stepped inside. At breakfast he sat showing pictures on his laptop and coughed constantly and although she was pleasant enough, we couldn’t get out fast enough.

Beautiful renovated older house in a good area for exploring Lunenburg and surrounding area. Lovely hosts providing a wonderful breakfast that keeps you going all day. Home baking an added bonus. Bed was comfortable and bathroom freshly renovated. Will definitely stay again.

最高のB&B、スタッフは優しくとても親切、不便が無いかなどを常に気にしてくれて、細かな気遣いをしてくれる。日本人の自分にもゆっくり分かりやすい口調で話してくれ、伝わらなければアプリで翻訳してくれた。朝食がとても美味しい。手作りのケーキも最高だった。ルーネンバーグに再度訪れる時は必ず宿泊する事でしょう。ありがとう。
