We stayed at the Addington Arms B & B for two nights last week. What a wonderful place! The rooms are enormous, clean, and filled with helpful guides and menus to nearby restaurants. We stayed in the Top Sail suite, and were very impressed by the size of the bright bathroom with double steam shower. Chris and Dan were great hosts, and the breakfasts were wonderful (mushroom omelets one day, lemon ricotta pancakes the next). We found it to be probably the nicest place we stayed on our entire honeymoon, and are looking forward to going back! Thanks Chris and Dan! Lunenburg is also a lovely city to walk around in - we ate at Magnolia's and Fleur-de-sel with great results.

We stayed Sept 18-05 for 3 nights. It was a wonderful experience. Great bed, nice linens, excellent breakfast. The owners Chris and Dan were really helpful and nice. We would definitely stay there again

We stayed at the Addington Arms Inn during our travels through Nova Scotia and had to write to tell others what a wonderful stay we had there. We were on the top floor overlooking the water in the most incredable room it was actually a 3 room suite at hotel standards. The view was beautiful, the room was very large and so beautifull, the breakfast was delicious and our hosts were the mose hospitable couple we have met yet in our B & B stays. We would highly recommend this Inn to anyone going through this area as a must do. There is even a steam shower in the bathrooms!

My husband and I spent 4 nights at the Addington Arms earlier this month, when we were in Lunenburg for the Folk Harbour Festival. It was our second time at the festival and at the Addington Arms, which I found through an internet search in 2003. Both of our stays were wonderful, and I recommend this B&B wholeheartedly.

What drew me to the Addington Arms when I visited the website originally was the size of the rooms, their separate seating areas, and their distinctive decor. We stayed in the Flying Jib room on both stays, and were not disappointed. In addition to its harbor view, the purple walls and modern and interesting furnishings were a welcome change from the "fussy doily" look in many B&Bs. There was plenty of space to relax when we wanted a break from the festival, and it was an easy walk from the B&B to anywere in town. The Addington Arms rates a best B&B bathroom award for its gorgeous sea green mosaic tile walls and nifty looking tile floor. These innkeepers don't skimp on towels either.

Christine and Dan are exceptionally thoughtful and welcoming hosts who go the extra mile for their guests -- helpful in their suggestions and generous with their time and efforts. Dan's breakfasts, served in an attractive dining room, make delicious use of seasonal local ingredients and keep you fueled for much of the day. Chris has made it a point to sample the restaurants in town, and she knows which ones to recommend (or not). It felt like seeing old friends when we came in the door for our second visit. We're also among the many fans of Bodacious (Beau), their friendly and mellow big dog.

Lunenburg, a UNESCO historic site, is known for its harbor scenery, its history with the Bluenose, and its architecturally distinctive old houses, many in superb shape and painted in adventuresome colors that remind me a bit of San Francisco on a smaller scale. Lunenburg also makes an excellent base for exploring this part of Nova Scotia.

A couple of good new restaurants have opened since our first stay (Chris can direct you). Our favorite remains Rissers -- get the smoked tomato soup appetizer. The Knot Pub also has some of the better pub food around.
