Great location and comfortable bed. The flooring is old and worn and the hotel definitely could benefit from some upgrades. But the bedding was clean and the rooms tidy. The location can’t be beat!

We truly enjoyed our first visit to Lunenburg and appreciated our accommodation at Smugglers Cove and the lovely family who operates the property! It was very quaint and a mere block from the waterfront! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Good stay, right in town

Room was big and comfortable. Excellent location. There really is no parking and you have to find your own street parking. Bathroom too small compared to the size of the room

Suprised to find that my room had been given to another guest when i checked in, but there was another room available and this was resolved quickly so no harm done. The new room was fine and i have no qualms about the stay.

The owners are lovely and so welcoming! Though the inn is older, it’s spotless, and has all the amenities of home. We had a king suite and we had a balcony to watch the sun set. Highly recommend!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
To enter the lobby, there were 4 steep concrete steps to climb. Challenging with luggage, but it is designated a historic property, so it can't be changed. After taking the elevator to the third floor, we needed to go up 2 more carpeted stairs, go 5 feet and then 3 carpeted stairs down. Just to let others be aware. Lot's of character for a historic property.

The staff were not friendly and supportive, which made the experience less welcoming. The facilities are standard, lack of hot water in my room after 9pm. Overall, it didn’t feel like good value for the price paid.

For the price it was dumpy, and no breakfast. I feel we could get better value somewhere else. It was clean and good location, but everything in Lunenburg I feel is within walking distance.
