It has 2 rooms so when we arrived we were the only guests. The main floor has a large sitting area as well as the dinning room and kitchen. The bedrooms are upstairs and Robin lives in an apartment downstairs. Outside he has a beautiful garden with a large pond. The design and decor are very modern and clean. Our room had lots of extra space and all the normal amenities plus some extra stuff like robes and slippers, fresh fruits and snacks and a Tassimo machine. Our bathroom was awesome with a double rain-forest shower. When we arrived we were met at the door by our host Robin and his 2 dogs. They are some of the best trained dogs I have ever met and they, with Robin were amazing hosts. Robin knows almost everything there is to know about Lunenburg and is happy to help in any way. He gave us information on the best places for dinner and even called about reservations for us. I cant say enough about how much we enjoyed having Robin as a host. What put this place up to a 5 for me was the breakfast. With our welcome package Robin gave us menus for breakfast so we could pick what we liked. Amanda and I chose the French Toast Sandwiches (Eggs, bacon and tomato between pieces of french toast). Lisa and Norm selected the English Breakfasts. When we came down in the morning we were not prepared for the quality of breakfast we were about to receive. We began with fruits and yogurt that were super fresh (Mango, Honeydew Mellon, Strawberries, Raspberries and Blueberries) Followed by our selections which turned out to be gourmet quality. For drinks we had fresh orange and apple juices as well as our choice of several different coffees and teas. It all tasted amazing and was more then enough to fill us all up. The Wellshire was the best place we stayed at on this trip and maybe even the best play we have stayed ever. I cant wait to go back again.

I loved the soaker tub but husband loves his showers. Bed was comfortable, sheets were satiny. Loved the decor, all the outstanding art. Breakfast was delicious. Stayed 2 nights so enjoyed 2 breakfasts. There were 6 varieties of fresh fruit everyday plus yogurt, blueberry juice, jams, coffee in a French press. One morning we were also served a plate with perfectly fried egg, 2 pieces of bacon and a fresh croissant. Next morning a plate with 2 blueberry pancakes, 2 pieces of bacon and cup of syrup. All so tasty but the croissant was my favorite.

Our one day visit to the Kaulbach House in Lunenburg, was much too short. Its central location and…read moreparking lot make it a great find in this very walkable, though hilly town. If you can climb two flights of stairs you can stay in one of two spacious suites on the second floor. Ours had a bedroom and a sitting room with a lovely view over the harbor. The young proprietors have made all sorts of improvements to the historic house including wonderful modern bathroom facilities. Due to an unforeseen change of plans we had to leave early to catch the Digby Ferry before the regular breakfast time but we sent off with fresh homemade muffins, egg sandwiches and coffee to enjoy on our way. A happy end to a lovely visit.

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!

The receptionist was hospitable and friendly. He provided us with a list of businesses in the area that would be good for a bite to eat or drinks. When he showed us to our room in the Cranberry Suites he informed us that he upgraded our room prior to our arrival. Excellent service, immaculately clean rooms. I would recommend The Mariner King without hesitation.

To start we shared the shrimp dip and it was absolutely delicious. There was 3 of us and it was enough to give us a nice taste (not too filling). Then We had the (sry can't remember the actual names) mushroom, pepperoni and the meat lover (pepperoni, bacon and salami) pizzas. We could have gotten away with ordering 2 pizza between the 3 of us. All pizzas were delish but our absolute fav was the mushroom. They are made in a wood fired oven with thin and crispy crusts. The venue is on the smaller side so make reservations if u have the time.

This is a review of the food only…read more The main floor of the ornate inn is largely used as the dining area for their restaurant. Where you can enjoy a 3-course meal ($62.50). Or add an extra $2.50 to receive a small salad course between the main and dessert. For those want a smaller dinner, dishes are also available a la carte (prices reflected in this post). Their tomato bruschetta ($14) uses a decadent whipped ricotta as the base, building upon the classic ingredients of cherry tomatoes, herbs, and a balsamic reduction. With tons of flavours and not as messy to eat, this was a wonderful starting bite. Arriving as a big chunk, the maple smoked salmon ($14) could benefit from a bit of preparation to present it in a crostini form. The candy sweet salmon was powerful on its own but balances out with the maple yogurt sauce and baguette. A bit of pickled red onion and/or arugula would add some freshness the dish needs. Save some of that bread for the steamed mussels ($14), classically prepared in a white wine and garlic broth. I rather enjoyed the bell pepper used throughout for colour and added flavour. The mussels just needed to be soaked longer as they were still several gritty crustaceans. You can't go wrong with seafood in Nova Scotia. The pan seared halibut ($37) was perfectly cooked to a flaky and moist consistency. The thick meaty piece could use more seasoning but if you get enough of the 'hodge podge', a medley of vegetables cooked in a cream sauce, onto the fish it helps to add flavour. The scallops in the scallops picatta ($37) were beautifully seared and just cooked through. The natural sweetness of the seafood was also prominent since the lemon caper sauce used with the pappardelle wasn't too strong. With a touch more salt, this dish would have been perfect. While the lobster linguine ($44; $7 supplement with the prix fixe) smelled good, the dish was majorly lacking on taste. The spaghetti was overcooked, and everything screamed for more seasoning, butter, and acid. My nose was more impressed than the tongue. This is a long review, for the rest go to Gastro World.
