Cathy, the Host was exceptional, she was very helpful, kind and generous, even heating an evening meal for us. Her breakfasts were fabulous. I highly recommend staying here.
Very nice historic property & wonderful helpful hostess . Great location and view. Awesome breakfast !
Stairs were a little steep for some people Large brick column in the room posed a challenge😁
Cathy is a sweetheart. House is beautiful and perfectly located.
Kathy--best host, delicious breakfasts
Cathy was a true gift with her hospitality and caring about our needs. The town was quaint with a lovely evening atmosphere stroll and music. It was the best ever B&B experience for our 2 teenaged granddaughters' first travelling adventure.
Une pépite d'or en Nouvelle-Écosse : Cathy vous accueille comme à la maison ! Ses déjeuners sont délicieux - les enfants ont adoré ! L'emplacement permet de visiter la petite ville, de faire les boutiques, de manger au resto ou encore de faire un arrêt à l'épicerie... à pied ! Merci encore de votre accueil.
Rien à dire - nous avons apprécié l'air climatisé considérant la canicule.
Breakfast was amazing, Cathy's cooking was wonderful and she was the perfect host for us. We had great conversations, excellent tourist recommendations and an overall fabulous two day stay with Cathy at The Fisherman's Daughter learning the history of the cottage as well as that of the whole area

B&B was great ! Kathy came up great breakfasts ! Great ideas for tourists that we were!
The breakfast was delicious and included homemade olive oil lemon bread with homemade preserves, a granola parfait, along with scrambled eggs (and crispy prosciutto for my husband). The coffee was great and plentiful.
On the water front in a beautiful renovated home from the 1850 with lots of character including a beautiful fireplace. The inn keeper made a fabulous breakfast and was very friendly, flexible and offered great tips!
Tout était parfait ( hébergement, petit déjeuner, accueil de notre hote Cathy, les soirées au coin du feu, l'emplacement.

Frühstück sehr familiär
Everything!! Cathy was a fantastic host, pointing out places to go, local restaurants etc. Breakfast was awesome with home made delights.
On-going roadworks outside the property detracted from the ambiance of Mahone Bay however we could still park ok.
Die Lage des B&B ist wunderschön mit Blick aufs Wasser. Das Frühstück war ausgezeichnet. Es gab jeden Morgen selbst zubereitete Speisen (Kuchen, Eierspeisen, Joghurt mit Kompott). Die Gastgeberin war jederzeit für uns ansprechbar und hat uns mit Ratschlägen den Aufenthalt einzigartig werden lassen.
Nix!
Beautiful old home, comfortable bed, lovely sea view and excellent host who serves delicious breakfasts!

The breakfasts were great and the location also. We requested a late check in and she obliged and was available to explain everything upon our arrival. Very accommodating.
Really not a thing.
Awesome!!!! Best description. Very clean, walkable, great food. All of the amenities you could possibly require. Highly recommend. I know we’ll go back.
Cathy was a great host. Room was clean. Breakfast was amazing!
Everything was great!
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!
A big thanks to Cathy for her friendly and conscientious care of guests! Had a lovely breakfast and pleasant stay at the Fisherman's Daughter B&B.
We love the property. Out room was beautiful, as was the entire house. The breakfast, included with the room, was delicious! Cheryl was a very good host! Highly recommend.
Lovely location, peaceful yet close to everything. Cathy was an excellent host; so friendly, ensuring I had everything I needed as well as giving great suggestions on things to see and do in the area. She also makes the most delicious breakfasts!
First, we loved that it was in Mahone Bay and it was an old property. Cathy was a wonderful host and gave us many ideas on how to spend our four days there. The room was lovely and had everything we needed and we loved the breakfasts. We would highly recommend this b&b.

Cathy ist eine sehr nette Gastgeberin. Das Haus und die Zimmer sind charmant eingerichtet. Die Treppen zu den oberen Zimmern sind schmal und steil (für uns ok). Das Frühstück war sehr lecker und individuell von Cathy zubereitet.
Bett ist ein wenig hart
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!!!
The property gives the authentic vibe, it is a historic building with an interesting background. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Great views from the front windows.
It is an old house do you need to put up with creaking and noise from other rooms but it is not annoying at all.
Host was very pleasant and helpful on what to see in the area! Breakfasts were delicious! Room was very comfortable with a beautiful view!
We had such a restful and beautiful stay with Cathy! The property is quaint and in a beautiful part of town. Chairs at the front of the property had a wonderful view. Nothing was too much trouble and there were lots of lovely touches! Breakfasts just gorgeous!
home cooked breakfast was great. our room was beautiful and cathy is a kind,friendly host that knows where to go and what to do.

Definitely recommend staying here! Bed is comfortable, bathroom is very nice, breakfast was great, and hospitality was excellent
l’hotesse est charmante et donne plein d’informations sur le coin. Ses déjeuners étaient délicieux et son auberge est très bien située et paisible.
La tranquillité, la gentillesse de l’hôte et les déjeuners.
Das Haus ist ein Schmuckstück, das Zimmer war urgemütlich, das Frühstück war einfach nur super und die Vermieterin ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Wir würden es jedem weiterempfehlen.

Location was great. Close to key points of interest such as Lunenberg. Walking distance to restaurants. Breakfast was delicious. Our host was friendly and gave us plenty of info for tourist locations. Very comfortable bed and room.
The breakfast was wonderful. Our host Cathy is a lovely guest and amazing cook. The location between the three ocean side churches is iconic and we could walk to all of the shops and restaurants. We enjoyed meeting other people during breakfast and we loved Cathy’s dog Murphy Brown. The coffee is delicious.
There was some road construction near the B&B.
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.
Our 2 morning breakfasts were so delicious, presentation amazing and our hostess even purchased special foods to satisfy a pre-teen with a selective appetite! We enjoyed everything about our stay! It was a beautiful, historical b&b situated in a stunning waterfront area. Our hostess was so welcoming, accommodating and had great knowledge of the area and suggested fabulous ideas of things to see and do! We highly recommend Fisherman's Daughter as a great place to stay!
Exceptional host, picturesque views of mahome bay, dining close by, perfect.
Cathy was very welcoming and helpful. The room was clean and the breakfast was delicious!

The location was perfect. Great view of the bay.
We liked everything. The steps were steep, but it wasn’t a problem.
Loved the historical features, location, plus the private and shared space within. The breakfast was generous, hearty, healthy, delicious & varied.
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!
Well situated for the activities we wanted to do during our stay. Very friendly hostess.
Our host, Cathy, was over the top prepared and so engaging with her guests. She felt like family.
Many local restaurants closed on same day
An historical building with great water view. The host Kathy was a pleasure treating us as very special friends. Breakfasts were scrumptious.
Cathy was a good host and made lovely breakfasts. It was an excellent location by the lake, Murphy was a friendly dog who provided great entertainment.
Only a minor point, the Lounge room was a bit dark
Heritage home. Lovely room, spacious bathroom. Steep stairs, pick downstairs room if you have mobility issues. Host was lovely, friendly, informative and a great cook. Breakfasts were wonderful. Highly recommend if in this area.
If you are staying here I highly recommend the Gull’s nest room (see photos). It was stunning. Beautiful view of the water through the trees. Real rustic charm. The bathtub in the room was a treat and the shower water pressure is awesome. The house is nice and quiet. My travel mate and I enjoyed sitting outside at night on the Muskoka chairs and watch the sun set. It is truly beautiful and serene. The house is also very, very, very clean. Cathy also is equipped with anything you may have forgotten from bug spray to bandaids. Now this is a bed and breakfast. I am not a big breakfast eater and I’m not a big fan of banked goods. I let Cathy know I was happy with a piece of toast and a glass of juice. Cathy finally caved and let me just eat toast, but she was so very accommodating and bought me two different types of bread so I had a selection. 😊. I did try Cathy’s olive oil and lemon loaf (keeping in mind I really don’t like the taste of lemon). OMG, it was beyond delicious and moist. Cathy just gave the loaf a “kiss” of lemon and it was divine. My friend really enjoyed Cathy’s food and homemade compote’s. Lastly, if you are a dog lover you will absolutely fall in love with Murphy (chocolate lab). He is so friendly and loves his belly rubs. Definitely bring a few treats in your bag and you will have a best friend for life. I can only give this property 5 stars, but I would rank it higher if I could.
The noise from the cars on the street.
Fabulous and knowledgeable host, wonderful location, great historic home, and delicious breakfasts. Highly recommend!
Such a beautiful and unique property with an absolutely delightful host. Delicious breakfasts and afternoons spent in comfy chairs watching the bald eagles fly over the harbour bay.
The location was perfect and we couldn’t have asked for a better breakfast !
We had an excellent time when we stayed at this B&B, very clean and quiet. would definitely stay here again.
This property is everything you could ever ask for! The host, Cathy, is so incredible from her hospitality to her wonderful breakfasts. The home is extremely cozy and makes you feel like you never left home. You will regret not staying here if you’re visiting Mahone Bay
Cathy the innkeeper was a delight! she had a ton of maps and recommendations for things to do and sights to see, and she was super responsive and made a delicious breakfast each day. The rooms were clean, the water pressure was high, and it was a great location for getting to dinner places or taking a walk by the water. parking was really accessible, the living room was a really cozy spot to hang out and have a fire, and Cathy was super good about allergies and food sensitivities.
no notes at all, would happily spend a week here.
Charming, well maintained historical building… friendly and helpful hosting…fireplace/living area unexpected bonus!
Proprietor was a great cook, very helpful and accommodating.
Mahone Bay was so beautiful! The Fisherman's Daughter is a great place to stay. The view is exceptional and the house is so welcoming. Our group was a party of six and Cathy went above and beyond to make us comfortable. Cannot wait to come back again!
Location, beautiful old house

Quaint, cozy, comfortable. Everything I was looking for on my self-care weekend in Mahone Bay.
This property is absolutely gorgeous❤️
The lady that owns and runs it(Cathy) is very knowledgeable and charming, She represents Mahone Bay…very well, her B&B is exceptional, I will be back again👍
From the moment we stepped into this delightful B&B, we felt an immediate sense of warmth and welcome. The inviting atmosphere and beautifully appointed rooms created a truly memorable experience, with every detail carefully considered to ensure comfort and relaxation. Cathy and Murphy 🐾were exceptional, going out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed, which made our experience unforgettable. Breakfast was a highlight, featuring a delicious and varied menu made from fresh, local ingredients. Each morning began perfectly. We’re grateful for the opportunity to stay in such a beautiful place and left with wonderful memories (Thank you for the soap). We highly recommend this B&B for anyone seeking a peaceful, relaxing getaway!
Well located for exploring Mahone Bay on foot The owner is warm and welcoming and saw to our every need She is a great good and breakfast was excellent.
The old house is lovely but it does have steep stairs!
we liked everything about our stay.
Dirty fridge. No choice of breakfast
We thought our host was the best! She was an excellent cook, serving a different delicious breakfast each day. She also offered many good ideas for exploring the peninsula and places to eat in different communities.
There was nothing we didn't like :)
The owner Cathy was so friendly and welcoming. Breakfast each morning was wonderful. Would definitely visit again.
Breakfast was wonderful! Cathy made us feel at home! Very accommodating 😍Also loved the soap!
