Ashlea House is a stunning old home that has all lthe charm you could ever want. The rooms are beautifully appointed and have comfortable beds with the most buttery soft sheets I’ve ever slept in. All rooms have private baths. Kim and Ed are wonderful hosts who are happy to make recommendations and offer suggestions. The highlight, though, is breakfast, which is an event unto itself.
The house is walking distance from the harbour and historic downtown area.
Thank you for your review. We genuinely appreciate you taking the time to share about your stay. It's great to hear that our sheets are a favourite among our guests.
Take care and we look forward to seeing you again one day

The hosts were extremely accommodating and helpful with suggestions of things to see and places (bars 😁) to go too.
The breakfasts were delicious and filling, the rooms are very clean. Because it’s a beautiful old house (built in the 1800’s) be prepared to use a lot of stairs to your rooms.
We would stay here again and plan on doing so should we return to Lunenburg.

From the moment we booked to when we checked out, everything was handled with attention to customer service. The home and rooms were pristine, including the decor. The food was beautifully prepared and presented. Kim and Ed are just top notch inn keepers and bring a lively presence to the comfort of the guests. Breakfasts are served in the community style which enhances conversation and interest in fellow travelers. I would never hesitate to stay here again if I'm ever offered the opportunity to visit Lunenberg again.
Thank you! It was a pleasure hosting you, and we truly appreciated your thoughtful review.

This was the latest of several stays at Ashlea House, and it is as good as ever! Kim and Ed have done a great job caring for this venerable home since they took it over. Breakfasts (3-course!) are terrific creations by Kim, and the house is kept immaculately clean. We stayed in the Osprey room--very comfortable. The widow's walk upstairs with a panoramic view of Lunenburg is a great place for a picnic, and the huge breakfast table offered a chance to meet and talk with some interesting people.
Thank you once again! It's always a pleasure hosting you! We look forward to seeing you again next year!

The only problem with Ashlea House is that a stay here may spoil you for all other B & B experiences!
The house, built between 1886 to 1890, is remarkably beautiful and very well maintained. The mechanics have all been updated, with wonderful washrooms, and the rooms are well lit with individually controlled air conditioning. The house itself retains its historic presence. There are beautiful common areas to enjoy, the living room, parlor, a gazebo and the widow’s watch. The hosts always have fresh baked cookies, tea, coffee and fruit available in the very well-appointed dining room.
The beauty of the house with its grand staircase and spacious, comfortable, well-furnished rooms is remarkable. However it is the hosts, Kim and Ed who made this a most memorable stay. When we arrived, they welcomed us warmly, gave us a tour of the house, shared information about the house and Lunenburg, directions to walk into town, where to eat, what was on, etc.
Kim and Ed gather all guests at 8:30 to enjoy a delicious 3-course breakfast in the dining room so guests have an opportunity to meet each other. They very graciously accommodated dietary restrictions.
Kim and Ed are clearly passionate and very professional hosts. We really appreciated their attention to detail, from the cozy bathrobes, wonderful linens and other small touches. We’d love to return some day!
