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!

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!

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!
