I was assigned the Victoria Room in this B&B that is under renovations. The hosts are very nice and quite chatty. I found the entire breakfast to be outstanding, with the banana bread, sausages and coffee as the stars of the breakfast! My room was cozy, and it had all the amenities that one needs. The waterfront where the tall ships dock was only a 10-minute walk from the B&B and there is a local pub a block away. I would highly recommend the Rose & Thistle Bed & Breakfast who want to experience such a friendly and welcoming environment.

This is a relatively new bed and breakfast and the house is still under construction at the side and rear of the house. It doesn't affect the rooms guests are staying in but is something to be aware of. Some smaller touches are still being refined but the effort is above and beyond. The hosts are both very warm and friendly and conversational as were other guests. It's a smaller location but close to the Lunenburg historical area and has plenty of parking for the number of guests. We had a nice stay.
