Cathy and Murphy were wonderfully welcoming hosts! She takes good care of a lovely historic property and serves up a generous tasty breakfast. We were so glad we stayed in Mahone Bay rather than Lunenberg -- it was a charming spot, small but lively. Highly recommend this B&B as a home base while visiting the area.

As all of the other commenters have reported, this is a very cool BnB in a historic home. We stayed in Emma’s hideaway, which is the only room with 2 beds. It was perfect for our family of three. Cathy, the Innkeeper, is very personable and a great cook! Breakfast was delicious and everything about our stay was fantastic. We would stay again in a heartbeat.

Would Highly recommend the Fisherman’s Daughter

First time at a B&B and we loved it!! Cathy was super friendly and gave us great tips of places to visit that we would have missed. The food was fantastic…the presentation lovely! Travelling with 2 teenagers and they were full after breakfast. We had the Emma room and it fit us comfortably. Great experience!!!

Fabulous - our favourite stay on a 3 week tour

We were made to feel so very welcome from the moment we arrived at the b&b. It is in a fantastic location and is full of character… including the very knowledgeable and helpful landlady (Cathy). The breakfasts were different from the usual fare which was good! Very tasty and delicious. We were so lucky to have booked this place. Thank you Cathy we will definitely book again should we return to the wonderful NS!

This place is excellent for anyone visiting Nova Scotia South Shore. Mahone Bay itself has a lot of charm and the B and B is located across the water and walking distance from everything you need. Cathy is an exuberant host. She is incredibly welcoming and was very helpful as we figured out where we wanted to visit each day. My friend and I stayed in different rooms (the Captain's Quarters and Emma's Hideaway) and they both were comfortable and clean. The breakfast was delicious and Cathy was great at making dietary accommodations. I would highly recommend!

Cathy, the wonderful innkeeper, is devoted to her customers. She solved all our (minor) travel issues and offered great advice about what to see in the area. Her breakfasts were very good. The house is historic, so narrow steep stairs and small rooms might not be great for some but the charm is undeniable. Plenty of hot water, good WiFi, coffee, refrigerator and TV in our room were great. Wonderful location. We’d love to stay again.
