Frauke was the perfect host. Excellent guide to the area and extremely welcoming. The room was well equipped, quiet, and had an enormous bed! Even though, formally, breakfast isn’t served there is fresh coffee, yoghurt and granola. Mahone Bay is beautiful, with its iconic churches. We had very good meals at Rebecca’s and the Naked Oyster.

Relaxing and beautiful B&B

Beautiful renovated farmhouse just outside of Mahone Bay. Front porch overlooks the river. Spacious rooms. Wonderful hosts and a great get away for singles, couples or families. The family suite is perfect when travelling with kids with two bedrooms and attached bathroom - something that is rare to find at a B&B.

We liked the quiet and the privacy of the property. Salt water was close. Hostess was friendly and informative of the area. We thought the price was high, especially as it did not include breakfast. However, coffee and wafer were free and timely in the morning.
