We have stayed with Al Connor at the Olde Lantern Inn twice and each time we thoroughly enjoyed…read moreourselves. Al is a remarkable man, one of those rare individuals who has many talents and he uses them in the management and running of this inn. He has made furniture that you will see in it and he has designed and built much of the inn itself. He is a chef and cooks the breakfasts for the guests. He is a wealth of information to help you enjoy the area. We highly recommend staying at the Olde Lantern Inn. The area where the inn is located is great to explore too. Wolfville nearby is home to a university so there is a very youthful and energetic feeling about the area. Grand Pre is of historic value being the historic site connected with the Acadian saga. We hiked to Cape Split on our last trip here, which is a 5 mile trip to a point overlooking the ocean where you can hear the tide as it roars in. Be prepared for the 5 mile return trip though and bring plenty of drinking water with you. Olde Lantern Inn sits next door to a vineyard and a great restaurant also so you will be treated very well by Al and those who work together to make your stay a delight.

We had stayed here 6 years ago and loved it. The inn itself is nice, but has badly deteriorated…read more Our room, while bright and nice looking at first glance, was filthy. First step into the bathroom, there was a plastic champagne glass on the floor. Towels clean but old and threadbare. Tub and sink were clean. Area rugs and floors were filthy, looked like they hadn't been vacuumed in ages. Dust everywhere, cobwebs in corners and closets. Sheets appeared to be dirty, and very old at least. The caretaker was nice, but at no time did we hear or see him cleaning. The bathroom in the main entry area was filthy--sink almost brown it was so dirty, mirror had old water/splash marks all over it, nothing was clean. Breakfast was included but we skipped it. Even the automatic coffee maker was so dirty, it had layers of dried coffee all over it. The whole dining area was dirty--side table, dining tables had dirty table cloths over them. No way we were eating there. Do not recommend.

This is the second time we have enjoyed the marvelous architectural delight of the Victoria's…read moreHistoric Inn. The best part of a stay here is to step (literally) into a world that no longer exists - and when it did exist - it was beyond my socio-economic situation. Every corner of the beautiful house is detailed with loving care - the molding, the drapes, the furniture, the staircase and of course the stained glass window! It moves you to a different time and place. What a treat!!! The staff are fabulous - taking on whatever role is appropriate for our needs from taking reservations, welcoming guests, to pouring that lovely third cup of coffee at breakfast. Speaking of breakfast, you might want to start exercising your pinky finger now so as to get it pointed properly straight out from the coffee cup handle - if you want to fully indulge in the environment. China, table cloths, attentive waitresses - all add up to one of the most special B&B experiences anywhere. It is not stuffy. In fact it is very relaxed - it is just that one can enjoy a good stuffy moment or two if one wishes to stare down your nose at the peasantry walking by the window:-) All part of the fun this setting encourages. The rooms are OK in size - more typical of the period that the house was built. They just border on the feeling of old style cluttered with lovely furniture such as a four-poster bed. The bed was fantastic! The in room fireplace and Jacuzzi tub will have to be enjoyed more fully this coming winter. What else to mention - oh yes - the grounds are beautiful with lawn chairs strategically placed for a guest and a book midst the shrubbery and flowers. I love this place for relaxation and imagination at its best.

What a great place to stay and brunch!…read more It is a lovely old house on the main street of Lunenburg. It has a fantastic balance of old and new: - lovely antique furniture, floor coverings, exquisite old light fixtures, etc. - exercise room, high speed internet, business centre, flat screen TV + DVD player in the room. We were blown away by the small touches as the modern stemware in the rooms, updated bathrooms and complementary chocolates on the bed. The bed was a dream to sleep on, once the pillows were cleared and stacked in the corner:-) Nice light cozy comforter on the bed. Now for breakfast - simply fantastic! Cold buffet with solomon gundy, smoked salmon, cheeses, etc.. A bread stack that included fresh from the oven croissants. We went with the a la carte eggs benedict - and don't let them give you the back bacon - go for the smoked salmon option - yummmmmm!!! We will definitely be going back. The question is only whether it will be another mid-winter, off season fantastically priced get-away or a full priced mid-summer Lunenburg folk festival week? Not to be missed!

I would recommend The Mariner King without hesitation.
