Inside a grand early-20th-century house, Arbor View is secluded from Lunenburg's bustle but within walking distance of the town's attractions. Stained-glass windows, original wood finishes, and handsome antiques enhance every room, and there's a large dining area where complimentary breakfast is served. Rooms are spacious, too, and the Annapolis Suite—with its queen-size canopy bed, two-person... more
Great place to stay in a beautifully restored room which had all the amenities anyone could ever need. Candy is a great cook and made us a wonderful breakfast. Special treats were provided for guests and we felt very welcome there.
Cindy and Pete are so friendly and welcoming. Cindy spent time just hanging out and chatting before breakfast that we all started to feel like family. It was a nice touch. The breakfast was delicious and we were indeed well fed. This is a spectacular home, situated on what appears to be an acre property, with charming decor that reflects... more
I couldn't have asked for a better vacation experience! Amazing service, great location, and comfortable/clean rooms made this visit one to remember. I will most definately recommend this establishment to all my family/friends, and can't wait to return! Thanks Cindy and Pete!
Four cranky, hungry and unwashed sailors arrived in Lunenburg by sea after crewing on the Spirit of Canada from Bermuda. We waited hours to clear customs. It was late when we were let free and Peter had been waiting for us. He picked us up at the warf and led us to our rooms making sure that we were all... more
We stayed three nights at the Arbour View Inn while attending a conference in Lunenburg. The rooms were spacious. The bed was comfortable. The room was equipped with a TV and there was WiFi access. The room was clean and the bathroom was quite nice as well. There is a mini-frig available for guests to use. It is located in... more
First I would like to start by saying, This review is long overdue! And secondly I would like to say Thank-you to Pete and Cindy again for their hospitality!
I am not a big review writer but it was with these reviews that I found everything I needed for my wedding, so I feel it is important to share with...

We had a great stay at the Arbor View Inn. Our hosts gave us great recommendations for area beaches, activities, and restaurants. Our room was comfortable for our family of 4 and the kids enjoyed playing in the extensive yard. Breakfast was delicious and we loved how they incorporate area produce.
My wife and I were invited to a wedding that was going to take place at the Arbor View Inn. As it turned out, we were the first to book the room and ultimately eased the decision making for the bride and groom. Other far away places such as Iceland and other Canadian Cities were in the mix, but fortunately,... more
I’d like to preface the following by saying that my wife and I have never written a negative review about any of our stays at a bed and breakfast. When things don’t go as planned we try and make the best of it and move on. However, when numerous things add up, as they did during our 2 night stay... more
Three storey guest house, you need good legs! Hostess delightful, friendly and helpful.
Our first room was rather dark, no coffee facilities, no tv, and no long mirror, a trifle basic for 160 dollars a night. We moved to a second room which was much better, I understand rates were higher on that room, but we were charged the same....

My wife chose this inn based on positive reviews and she was right! The owners Cindy and Pete make you feel like they've invited you to their home, and are very knowledgeable about the area. The rooms are spacious, and tidy, and comfortable for a 107-year old home. The breakfast was better than any I'd had at any restaurant on... more
We have never been treated so well at a bed and breakfast. Pete and Cindy were more like friends or family rather than hosts. Our room was beautiful and the breakfast was the best we had in Nova Scotia. Don't let the location fool you. Lunenburg isn't that big and you are a quick(5 minute) walk, or even quicker (2... more
Our family of four (two kids: 6 & 11), spent a luxurious night at the Arbor View Inn, on our tour of the coastal towns, south of Halifax. The owners were very welcoming, even to the kids, indicating that they did not understand why other B&B's, discourage children. The accomodations were superb. Our room had a huge and fluffy, four... more
We had the very good fortune of having friends recommend the Arbor View to us. We were only able to spend three nights with Pete and Cindy at their gorgeous home, but it was long enough for us to realize that we have never stayed at a better bed and breakfast. Truly wonderful people, in a quiet hillside mansion. Don't... more
My Husband and I chose to spend our Anniversary at the "Arbor View" and were not disappointed! We chose the Annapolis Suite on the top floor, what a wonderful spacious room! We loved the victorian furniture, and the jet tub was a big plus! The soft warm robes were my favorite! I must say that the inn keepers were not... more
Cindy & Pete are such an absolute pleasure and truly made us feel at home in Lunenburg. Their heritage home was beautiful, impeccable and welcoming. Three nights of great sleep, and waking up to the most incredible breakfasts. They're a great example to other B&Bs and definately exceeded our expectations. Not to mention - they've got a great sense of... more
Cindy & Pete run the best B&B we've ever stayed in. They are the most welcoming and engaging couple and we thoroughly enjoyed talking with them about the area. The period B&B is beatiful, and the large rooms are completed to the last detail. And if you like a great breakfast, then you're in the right place. A great value... more
Great place for the serious bed and breakfast crowd. We enjoyed the rich history of the house in a town know for it's Canadian history. The innkeepers knew so many details and were able to point us towards further sources of historical research, including pre-world war 1 letters from the Inn's original owners! Beds were great, room was spacious, and... more
My wife and I stayed at the Arbor View Inn this past August and we certainly were not disappointed. Innkeepers Peter and Cindy were the ideal hosts in each and every way. They were hospitable, friendly, courteous, unintrusive and helpful in answering any and all questions regarding sights to see and places to eat.
The Inn itself was impressive with...

An elegant victorian inn in a quiet location. Best described by what it doesn't have. It doesn't have a smelly restaurant kitchen under your bedroom. It doesn't have a lack of parking. It doesn't have noisy tourists outside your window like all of the other inns in the downtown district. It is close enough to downtown to walk or just... more
We stayed two nights at this gracious inn recently to recuperate after a hectic month, and what a lovely idea it turned out to be. Our hosts were most accomodating of our needs, attentive but never intrusive, pampering us with a special tray to lounge with on the balcony (oh, that balcony! expansive, lined with planter's chairs, overlooking serene green... more
This was a really quiet and peaceful roomy spot with ultra-friendly owners. Breakfast was delicious- fluffy pancakes with fresh fruit, crisp bacon and a really good cup of coffee. Portions were huge- you will not go hungry. In the living room, a computer is set up for guests use at any time that you need it with internet access. Perfect... more
We spent 3 nights with Pete and Cindy on our motorcycle trip through Atlantic Canada this August. The Arbor View Inn is a great quiet destination for a visit to lovely Lunenburg, the owners are friendly and very helpful and our stay overall a great entry in our travel log. Breakfast was great and a Mac with Internet access in... more
Arborview is a true gem. From the moment we walked through the door Cindy and Pete made us feel like part of the family. We especially enjoyed 'Maggie-the -blue-Dobie' who works part-time as the receptionist! Our busy toddler enjoyed investigating the beautiful property and was amazed with the lunenburg lobsters!!! All in all, we cannot say enough about our amazing... more
Felt right at home in the HUGE hisotrical Inn-
There's plenty of room inside or out to hang and relax........... the breakfast was huge and very filling. Pete and Cindy were great hosts. Even the guests were great - We'll be back from Boston ~ It made the end of our trip great !
Pam & Pete
Cindy and Pete are such great hosts with exuberant enthusiasm. They have done a great job in just a year and half in the business of B&B's. What a great place to lay your head down after a busy day sight seeing!
My husband and I stayed in the Annapolis Room. It was very cozy and comfortable. The view from the balcony was beautiful. We also enjoyed a nice breakfast in the morning. Cindy and Pete were great hosts.
The Arbor View Inn was a great place to hold our wedding. Pete and Cindy were fabulous hosts and took very good care of our family, who stayed for 5 days at the Inn. With 60 guests from around the world the Inn was a perfect gathering place with a large beautiful garden and a spacious parking lot big enough... more
This lovley old home is hosted by two very down-to-earth people. Cindy and Pete made our stay very comfortable and relaxing. Our room was super cute, with quiet grounds and living spaces to enjoy on our "down-time". Dining and entertainment suggestions were well received, ensuring that our entire experience in Lunenberg was complete. Breakfast was fabulous; Cindy seemed to know... more
Our room at the Arbor View was cozy and comfortable and the inn itself had great history throughout. The layout offers a private setting with knowledgeable hosts who were helpful beyond the norm. Breakfast was outstanding everyday and the conversation with the hosts was intelligent and a delightful surprise. I don't know the next time I'll be through this region,... more
We stayed four days in this beautiful heritage home which has six marvelous suites, delicious breakfasts and large tranquil gardens. Thanks to Cindy and Pete our stay in Lunenburg will be remembered fondly. The Arborview is a short walk from the downtown and far enough away to be quiet and peaceful. We certainly would stay there again.
From the warm greeting upon our arrival to our check out four days later, we enjoyed the comfort of an elegant period home and the relaxing gardens around it on a quite street a short walk from Lunenburg's historic town centre. Breakfasts were well-cooked and substantial, any special needs being readily accommodated. Our room was spacious and well-furnished, with private... more
the host's are very friendly, the inn is private from their own home,it's very well kept, and the food is great. you feel like your in your own home, very relaxing,we will go back there for sure.
