Top Southwest Cove Hotel Reviews

Atlantic View Motel and Cottages

8/10 Good

"Our cottage was charming. Perfect for two. A little tiny so husband wasn't as fussy as he felt cramped - especially in the washroom and inside the shower. I was very satisfied and it was as expected - even cuter!! They have done a very nice job of making it comfortable for their guests. The one and only complaint I have is the PILLOWS. They were old and flat and frankly, a worry that we may result in neck and back pain in the morning. We're seniors. I would definitely return - with my pillows :-)"

Oceanfront Cottage on a Quiet Cove Just Outside Lunenburg

8/10 Good

"This is a wonderful location close enough to many attractions and isolated enough for a peaceful getaway. Deer roamed the property, kayaking for those who enjoy being on the water. Full windows across the front of this cottage offering a lovely view of the water, seagulls, night sky! You won’t find as many properties that are as clean and comfortable as here. It is a perfect place for two couples or four people. Your host Frank & Valerie are friendly, and all round nice people who will make your stay enjoyable! I had my 10 lb Cockapoo w me and she thoroughly enjoyed her stay as well. Plenty of places to go for a hike or leisurely walk. I visited Blue Rocks, two nearby beaches, Lunenberg, Mahone Bay on my way home where you can fill up with gas right in town. There are multiple cafes, restaurants & bistros if you prefer to eat out. A local grocery store in Lunenburg along the waterfront and another lovely one with a European flare in Rose Bay, look for the unusual and not those big chains. I visited from Oct 11 - 28, 2026, I had some beautiful days, some cooler day (I do enjoy sweater weather), so don’t hesitate to go as I did a little later in the season when the tourist traffic has calmed down. Many thanks to my hosts Frank & Valerie!"

Miller House By the Bay

8/10 Good

"This is a beautiful B&B and the owner is lovely. She is very chatty and helpful and made us breakfast in the morning. The location was also great! The only reason I didn't give five stars is because 'the hug' room was smaller than I anticipated. I knew it would be small, but it was quite tiny for two adults. I also didn't love that we had to share a bathroom with the rest of the guests but that's a personal thing. Would still stay here again!"
