Overall a nice place to stay, and very convenient. We would stay here again. On the downside, a tv with no actual programming guide is annoying, and there should always be a bedside table and lamp on both sides of the bed. To do without these is an unnecessary annoyance.

I decided to visit Lunenburg on the 5th anniversary of my husband's passing. Without realizing it, I had booked the same hotel we had been in, and possibly even the same room. The memories flooded back as I walked into the hotel and saw the front desk and especially, as I got off the elevator and saw the layout of the rooms. There was a little "living room" area where you could sit and chat with other guests on the 4th floor. I had an enjoyable stay given all the memories and would highly recommend this beautiful Inn, for your next visit in the area. Friendly staff and beautifully appointed, clean room for the win!!

Cute little inn in beautiful Lunenburg. Lovely owners and very conveniently located to everything you'd want to see in the village. Decor was a bit dated and the mattresses were too soft, but the hospitality and location make up for it.

Noise problems
There is no sound proofing. There was a lounge area outside my door with other guests sitting and talking for hours and conversing with other guests passing by. I complained to the front desk but they did not offer to move me. It continued into the evening. It continued later into the evening. I got no rest.

The owners of Smugglers Cove have taken great pride in their hotel and it shows. The rooms are very clean, the beds are comfortable, and the hotel is in a great location. Parking, though, is an issue, If one is lucky, one can find a place on the street near the hotel. Other than that, there are other areas that are further away, one on the street and one a lot. The owners will go above and beyond to make sure you are happy, and we were.

Central location
Great location in the center of Lunenberg. Spacious and well kept, comfortable room. The trade off for the location is the lack of parking. Two short blocks up the hill turning right into Lincoln street there is unrestricted parking.
