Top Lunenburg Hotel Reviews

Atlantic View Motel and Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"This motel / cottages were a very pleasant surprise. Our unit (likely all the units) was recently renovated. Everything was in great working order, clean, easy to deal with. We had breakfasts outside, behind our unit on a wooden table -- in view of a pond with lily pads. Management was helpful with solving the one problem we had. We would be happy to return!"

Smugglers Cove Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Très bel hôtel, très bien placé. Tout ´t’ait parfait"

Clifty Cove Motel

10/10 Excellent

"This was a very quaint and well appointed motel with an incredible view!! It was only a 5 minute drive to Peggy's Cove lighthouse from here. The owners were exceptionally welcoming! I would definitely stay here again."

Oak Island Resort & Conference Centre

8/10 Good

"It is a beautiful place but unfortunately way too many steps to get to use the outdoor pool And way too much walking and again steps to access the indoor pool for those like myself with mobility issues. I was very disappointed that I was unable to use the pools, they were beautiful. The place itself is beautiful but it could be made more accessible for people with mobility issues. Even to access some of the outside game areas it would be nice if there was a golf cart or some other method of transport to be used to go up snd down to play the games. I would have liked to have been able to use all the facilities without worry. Another thing you might address for your own protection as well as that of the guests is regarding the lovely new showers that are installed. They do have a railing that you can hold on to but the smooth floor is very slippery when wet and there are no bath mats or some kind of texture on the floors to make them safer."

Rum Runner Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the location and the veranda where we sat with a drink after dinner watching the harbor and people watching. A whimsical place with super friendly people. The room was also very nice with a very comfortable bed and good pillows which are hard to find. I’d return in a heartbeat,"

Salt Shaker Deli & Inn

8/10 Good

"Cute place. View from the room was nice. Bed comfortable. It would be nice if they offered a 10 or 15 % discount to eat at the restaurant."
