Mahone Bay Bed & Breakfast — Hotel in Town of Mahone Bay

The hotel has been well refurbished and the shared areas are bright comfortable and spacious. We knew we hadn't booked a large room but were very disappointed at how small it was, it should be a single not a double. The bed was against to wall so impossible to get out of that side and so close to the wall at the end of the bed and with the TV being on the wall that was not an option either. The bed was very clean & comfortable. The shower room again very clean but so small that there was no place to hang the towels to dry, we stayed 2 nights so didn't want to waste by asking for clean towels for the second morning.||There was a shared refridgerator on the corridor which was very useful and there was fresh milk or creamer in it which was great.||Now the breakfast on the first morning exteremly disappointed as we do not believe a muffin and tea or coffee constitutes a continental breakfast as advertised on their website, so as suggested by Helena (housekeeper we think, who was lovely) called the number on the sheet of paper we received when we had arrived, the named person was Sarah, we spoke to her who said it wasn't anything to do with her !!!! and argued that it breakfast was as advertised, however she would speak to her Manager and call back, this didn't happen. So we went to the local supermarket & bought sufficient food fpr breakfast the 2 days of our stay. The ext morning Helena greeted us with a big smile and showed us the breaskfast spread, which was fruit juice, croissants, yoghurts & a platter of fresh fruit delicious and what we had expected day one.||So sorry to say we would not recommend this place, will not revisit but would give...

We stayed in this lovely, clean and bright bed and breakfast during Hurricane Lee. The very best little place to be storm stayed!|We arrived the day before Hurricane Lee arrived. We were welcomed with freshly made cookies left in the front hall with our keys and a note from Val saying she would see us in the morning. Coffee and tea and muffins were also available the evening we arrived. |We had a wonderful breakfast buffet in the dining room. Val had prepared fresh scones, muffins, delicious egg dish, fruit, cheese and meat, and a little yogurt and granola platter. The tables were beautifully set for guests with lovely pottery dishes. Immediately after breakfast the power went out till the following day due to the arrival of Hurricane Lee, which was actually downgraded to a tropical storm. Roads were closed due to downed trees and storm surge so we cancelled our reservation in Peggy’s Cove and remained safe at this sweet bed and breakfast for another evening. Val even prepared a charcuterie for us that evening. |The home was so cozy and bright even with no lights working. It has been recently decorated with new paint, lovely furniture and modern but classic home decor. We were welcome to read or play games in the living room and dining area while we were storm stayed. Power was still out the second morning so our hosts kindly travelled to the next town to get coffee and muffins for us before we came downstairs. We would highly recommend this bed and breakfast when travelling through...

At the time of writing the Introduction above is out-of-date, in that "New owners Elke and Scott" are no more and it should read "New owners Miriam & Daniel" (who with those names could be from any part of the English-speaking world but in fact are a relatively young Swiss couple who speak Swiss-German as well as good English). You can therefore safely gloss over most of the glowing reviews that follow and just read those from 2019 onwards...||||That said, nothing has changed in terms of the fixtures and fittings; it is still beautifully decorated with the common areas in a very clean primrose colour; still run by a very charming and helpful couple; and breakfast is taken around a communal table, albeit at a time to suit each guest's chosing.||||This was the first of quite a few B&Bs and Inns we stayed at during our holiday and it certainly got us off to a good start. It is centrally-located within Mahone Bay and has off-road car parking to the rear, although one can also park in the street outside. We stayed for three nights out of our three-week tour of Nova Scotia and used it as a base from which to explore Lunenburg, LaHave and Blue Rocks [before heading up to Digby & Annapolis Royal]. ||||So, although the managment has changed, the good news is it remains a...
