The Fisherman's daughter was a lovely spot to stay in Mahone Bay. You are greeted upon arrival by the owner Cathy and she takes you on a tour of the property. Cathy is very knowledgeable about Mahone Bay and things to do. I highly recommend staying here. The bonus is her chocolate lab Murphy who is a very good boy and will hangout with you outside.

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!

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.

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.
