Our Inn



This century-old sea captain's house, in which the innkeeper himself was raised, was built by Captain Thomas Townsend, a descendant of a prominent officer who fought in the 1758 siege of Louisbourg and was later granted this property for his service. The inn is on the corner of Lower Warren Street and Townsend Street, named after Captain Townsend.





Six of our eight beautifully decorated guest rooms overlook historic Louisbourg Harbour. Each room has a queen bed, private ensuite bath, hardwood floors, high ceilings and homey furnishings. Our guest balcony, overlooking the water, affords an excellent view of the harbour, from the nearby fishing boats and wharves out to the islands, Fortress and ocean beyond.





Just off Main Street, Louisbourg Harbour Inn is situated on the harbour next to a working fishing wharf and the Louisbourg Playhouse, where traditional Island music and dance are performed every evening from late June to mid-October. We are within walking distance of the Fortress of Louisbourg, and the local shops and restaurants are just around the corner.

"The inn was repeatedly recommended as I traveled around Nova Scotia and it's a pleasure to add my voice to the throng."
