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.
