11 Best Hotels in The Fundy Coast, New Brunswick

With stunning coastal views from their windows and front porches, and enough beds for four people, these log cottages (in spite of the singular name, there are five of them) offer great value. The accommodations are spotless and thoughtfully designed, and each has an open-plan living area with an eat-in kitchen and sitting room with satellite TV, and a full bathroom.

Perched high above the village and the ocean, every window (and there are many) in this modern property affords a spectacular view and eliminates any need for air-conditioning. Each of the spacious rooms has a fireplace, mini-refrigerator, coffeemaker, and a four-piece bathroom with double-whirlpool tub. Wi-Fi is free, and there's a DVD library to complement the flat-screen televisions.

With beautiful antique furniture and handmade quilts on the beds, this restored shipbuilder's house is a haven for honeymooners and romantics, and the Fundy Coast is close by. All the rooms have at least two windows (with screens), the better to hear the birds in the trees outside. Two rooms have fireplaces and two have whirlpool baths.

An 1847 farmhouse just minutes from Hopewell Rocks now provides stylish and comfortable accommodations in rooms furnished with antiques and quilts. There's also a suite that has a separate living room with pull-out couch and a private main-floor entrance. The house, with a spacious screened porch, is surrounded by beautiful flower gardens, and has a brook, a fountain, and lots of woodland and meadow trails. Breakfast includes hot dishes, home baking, and homemade preserves. The inn now serves dinner—the menu features local seafood including a popular lobster seafood pasta.  

On Lutz Mountain, with a panoramic view over Moncton, this delightful bed-and-breakfast offers warm and friendly personal service from a wine-making family. In a restored building once owned by the woman who made Magnetic Hill famous, there are just two rooms, both spacious and beautifully decorated, with large modern bathrooms, and guests have the use of a charming sitting room on the main level. Breakfasts are very informal—guests sit at the family's kitchen island and eat with the hosts—and might consist of fresh-cooked waffles with fresh fruit and maple syrup.

This mansion with a large deck sits on a hill with lovely views over the harbor; built by a sea captain, the home on 10 acres of grounds has been an inn since 1871. Many of its original furnishings have been retained in the guest rooms, and refurbishment has been mindful of the inn's history and character. Large black-and-white photos grace the living room, and there's a large deck. Seafood is served in the dining room, and guests can request packed lunches. There's also a guest kitchen and laundry.

Two blocks back from the harbor, this lovely French Empire-style home offers a warm welcome and individually styled, comfortable bedrooms. Three rooms have a bathroom en suite, the other is separate but private, and each has either a shower, a whirlpool, or an old-fashioned claw-foot tub. In addition to the cozy living room, there's an upstairs sitting room, a tea room where an English-style afternoon tea is available for an additional fee, and a large dining room where sumptuous breakfasts are served.

Right on the water, next to the fishermen's wharf in the heart of the bustling village, this long-established inn also has a very good restaurant. Each of the rooms has an individual, restful, if somewhat dated style, while the suites have a veranda, private entrance, and 8-foot windows facing the bay. In the Tides Restaurant, the menu offers dishes such as scallops flambéed with Sambuca, bacon, and cream, lobster-stuffed chicken, and hickory-smoked ribs. A wall of windows overlooks the water, interrupted only by the hummingbirds that buzz around feeders attached to the glass.

Surrounded by 87 acres at the base of Chamcook Mountain, this inn is renowned for hospitality and outstanding food and is particularly convenient for visiting Ministers Island. Rooms are very comfortable and restful, with pillow-top mattresses, down comforters, pleasing color schemes, and individual temperature controls. Some are furnished with antiques. In the handsome dining room, with crystal chandeliers and dark mahogany furniture, you can enjoy fine dining (reservations essential) featuring local seafood and produce (much of it plucked from the inn's organic garden minutes before the meal).

High on a hill overlooking the Bay of Fundy, the appeal of this restored sea captain's home comes from both its Victorian interiors, including antiques, quilts, and old-fashioned wallpaper, and the accomplished cuisine. The adjacent carriage house has four rooms, and guests with children are welcome to stay here, though not in the main inn. Formal dinners in the on-site restaurant are excellent, and Coquilles St. Martins, a rich medley of lobster, scallops, shrimp, and crab in a creamy wine sauce, is the house specialty.
