Guest Reviews

Dennis (10/5): - Margaret is very caring and a warm person. She made us feel like family but also had thngs set up that we could do things (eat, come and go) without having to rely on her. Highly recommend!! We will be back.
Tanya (10/5): - Very nice bed and breakfast with lovely host. Gorgeous older house with comfortable beds and great breakfast in the morning.
Ellen (10/5): - Great location, very cute loft.Liked that we had a separate space from the main house. Great hostess, lots of recommendations for restaurants and things happening in the town.
Stacey (10/5): - Very inviting and homey
Dave (10/5): Wonderful stay - parking is right on site, enough room for the 4 people staying there. Room was immaculate. Bed very comfortable. The breakfast was great, anything you wanted. If you are a lighter sleeper then close the windows, it is on main street so you will hear some cars at night and early am. Margaret is a great host. From her house you can walk to everything in Mahone Bay, grocery store, pharmacy, urgent care, many places to eat. She has a small dog who is very very friendly and you can tell that she cares about the visitors, very engaging. Obviously you are in a house so if people get up you may here them. t here is a full bath upstairs and a half downstairs.. places to just sit if you want to chill out. Where she is located you dont have ot use your car in town. Easy trip to Lunenberg from there
Sarah (10/5): - Miller House is located on Main Street with convenient parking at the rear of the house. The house is set back from the street in a beautiful lot with a private sitting area in the back. The hostess is charming, helpful, and warmly welcomed us upon our arrival. The house is extremely clean and decorated with antiques. The kitchen is open and there is always tea, coffee, and baked goods available. The breakfast was delicious and the room very comfortable. Highly recommend this B&B.
Tini (10/5): - Very peaceful. The suite was way more than I excepted! Easy access to shopping and restaurants . The bay is right across the street. The owner was very helpful. I will stay there again. Thank you Margaret for sharing your beautiful property.
Sarah (10/5): - Everything was great. Highly recommend.
Audrey (10/5): - The owner Margaret was a real charm! She welcomed us into her beautiful vintage home with open arms and made us feel right at home. Our room was very spacious and the common washroom area was nothing short of excellent. Our breakfasts were top notch and conversation time with other guests made the whole experience outstanding! When and if we return to Mahone Bay, we will be staying at Miller House if possible. Thanks Margaret....we had a fantastic stay!!
Cindy (10/5): - Margret and Susan were fabulous hosts. They are so welcoming and look after all the details. It’s like a home away from home. Oh I forgot about the most important part of the stay, “Chevy” you are a heartbreaker. 💔🐾
Breanne (10/5): - Margaret was a warm and welcoming host! The B&B is located on the main strip of the super cute town Mahone Bay, which is a convenient ~12 minute driver from Lunenberg. The house location is perfect for exploring the town, but was still quiet at night (we slept with the windows open and didn't have any issues with noise!). The house itself is a beautiful, historic old house. Would recommend!
Joann (10/5): - Was great, stayed 1 night good location. Margret was very good to deal with it. Would recommend.
Brenda-Jean (10/5): - Host as very helpful and nice. The suite was very clean and very comfortable. Very much enjoyed our stay. Would stay again for sure
Karen (10/5): - We had a wonderful stay and loved our conversation with Margaret
Jean (10/5): - Very clean, quiet, extremely well maintained. The breakfast was awesome, lots to choose from. The shared bathroom was not an issue. Interesting history of the home. A fantastic stay.
John (10/5): Excellent stay - Great location, great host, great facility.
John (10/5): A wonderful place to stay. - When we booked there was little availability in the area. When we arrived the room we had booked was small but our hostess offered us an upgrade (at extra cost) which was not available at the time of booking (July). This was a 3 room apartment with all possible conveniences. It was very spacious and comfortable.
Mary Ellen (10/5): - We had the loft apartment above the carriage house. It was large, bright and fully equipped with anything we could possibly need. This property is located close to Lunenberg, which is a UNESCO site that offers everything a seaside harbor town could offer.
jane (10/5): - Margaret has it all. 5 star hostess.
William (10/5): - We liked everything. The house was beautiful, filled with antiques but very comfortable. The host was wonderful. She made everyone feel welcome. Breakfast was good. There were several choices. The mattress was very comfortable. The shower was high quality. We would come again for sure.
Nicholas (10/5): - Amazing spot in Mahone Bay
Blair (10/5): - Is a very quiet and nice place to stay. Rooms are amazing as are the staff. Will come back and bring friends. 😊
Tracy (10/5): - I stayed in the Hug room which was small and cozy, great for a short stay. The house is beautiful and clean. Margaret was a very gracious host and genuinely interested in meeting people and was able to offer many suggestions for the remainder of my travels in Nova Scotia. The location is great with many restaurants in close proximity and the bay view across the street. A beautiful continental breakfast was nice to wake up to. I would definitely stay here again.
Frederick (10/5): - The Miller House is a beautifully furnished Victorian house conveniently located in walking distance to restaurants and shops. Out hostess Margaret was gracious and thoughtful. Breakfast was a fabulous spread available whenever it was convenient. The only shortcoming was a shared bath with two other rooms. The atmosphere of Miller House was genuinely friendly.
Janet (10/5): - Margaret was an excellent host and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. I wish we had more time to spend enjoying the accommodations.
Linda (10/5): - Perfect host and the home was wonderful. Breakfast was great and we so enjoyed the feeling of being at home. So comfortable and very clean. Highly recommend.
Mike (10/5): - Great spot. Would prefer to just be given the keys and let us into space. Lots of talking at end of a long day
Tara (10/5): - Owner was lovely and friendly, dedicated to ensure we had a great stay. Nice building right by the water.
Jason (10/5): Excellent place & would ABSOLUTELY stay again - The host was amazing. She was super nice and had a great breakfast. It was also great to visit with the other couples while we were having breakfast. The house was beautiful and in a great location. Bed was comfy and the house overall was quiet. Just a side note, there is not a private bathroom. It is shared, but was also big. Very nice. Would definitely stay there again.
Michael (10/5): - Most wonderful owners. Felt like I was visiting a favorite family! Warmly greeted, offered tea, even though we arrived very late. Continental breakfast way more than expected. Prepared bacon and eggs, best pasteries ever. Period furniture, comfortable room and bed. Unbelievably clean. Recommend to all.
Marilyn (10/5): - Lovely spot-very attentive host
Beth (10/5): - The house is beautiful and Margaret takes great care to preserve its heritage. She is very considerate of her guests and their needs. Everything was perfect for our stay, and I would highly recommend this B&B.
deborah (10/5): - Everything is perfect! Love it.
Susan (10/5): - Parking a little difficult. Otherwise, a very beautiful B&B. Owner, Margaret is very nice and showed us around the house and our room. Nice and big room and a huge patio off the room. We could help ourselves to kitchen amenities. We met several of her friends and enjoyed their company. Unfortunately we had to leave early so could not enjoy the breakfast. We would highly recommend staying at Miller House.
Larry (10/5): - Margaret and Sue very hospitable and delightful. Accommodation was superb!!!
Mary (10/5): - Beautiful setting. Relaxed, friendly atmosphere. We stayed in the large apartment behind the main house and it was lovely. Clean and bright with comfy beds and a very well-appointed kitchen. Shops and restaurants were within an easy walk. We were only there one night but will be back for another, longer visit!
John (10/5): - It’s an excellent spot, with a personable owner and a very nice dog, Chevy. That will even win over a Ford fan.
Louise (10/5): - Gorgeous loft. Very comfortable and had lots of sleeping possibilities. Convenient
Tim (10/5): - Very nice. Wife loved the house.
Debra (10/5): - Lovely place, lovely people...wish we could move in!!
Susan (10/5): - Margaret was a wonderful host - very accommodating, friendly, interesting and a wonderful breakfast cook! We loved the Captain’s Quarters and use of the huge private deck overlooking the backyard (or the water). Breakfast conversation with other guests was one of our highlights. We would definitely recommend Miller House by the Bay for anyone coming to Mahone Bay.
Stacey (10/5): - Excellent breakfast and friendly atmosphere
Barbara (10/5): - Host was very welcoming
Shelley (8/5): - Just have a told me what was available for breakfast. A menu plan out offering eggs would have been great!
Hema (10/5): - The loft was so lovely and spacious and Margaret was a fantastic host
Germain (10/5): Arrêt entre Peggy’s Cove et Lunenburg - Un endroit vraiment agréable et chaleureux. Nous avons été accueilli par un sympathique petit chien! Le déjeuner était copieux et délicieux. Plusieurs bon restaurant à proximité. Mug & Anchor Pub est un bon endroit pour un bon repas et pour déguster les bières locales
Leanne (10/5): - Great place, awesome host.
Syd (10/5): - A beautiful 1840’s house, exquisitely refurbished. Margaret is a marvellous and accommodating host. Shared bathroom in the main house but there are two fantastic suites in a separate building. Breakfast to accommodate all tastes.
John (10/5): - wonderful atmosphere, owner and food
Roger (10/5): - Very early period home in pristine condition with all original woodwork, trim, etc., and extremely fine period furniture. The property is right in the middle of the town of Mahone Bay and easily accessible. The property, in its entireity, is very well maintained.
Kevin (10/5): - Beautiful location, spacious rooms and super friendly and welcoming hostess.
Claudia (10/5): - Wonderful B & B. House dating back to 1840. Host Margaret was wonderful and very accomodating.
Colleen (10/5): - Beautiful loved everything
Sherril (10/5): - We loved EVERYTHING about this place: Margaret, our host, was warm and welcoming. The accommodations were comfortable. Continental breakfast with home-made goodies was a good way to start the day. And Mahone Bay is one of our favourite destinations in Nova Scotia.
Steve (10/5): - The artist studio room is fantastic. The hot tub is perfect after a long day of walking. This is a wonderful place to stay.
Francesca (10/5): - This property is absolutely amazing; clean, friendly, gorgeous and the chevy the resident dog was so cute. Margaret is a fabulous host and the homemade waffles were delicious
William (10/5): - The Miller House was a perfect location for us during our recent stay. The walking and driving options were just what we were hoping for. Breakfast and the accommodations were lovely, comfortable and impressive. Miller House is a large, grand house but with Margaret’s warm presence, it becomes a welcoming home away from home. Definitely recommend.
Susan (10/5): - We absolutely loved our stay, we met wonderful people and felt like we were home.
ALISON (10/5): - Absolutely beautiful property, perfectly located. I arrived at dinner time and was invited to join the hosts at the pub across the strert, what a lovely time. Highly recommend!
Peter Joseph (10/5): - This is a beautiful home with lots of history. Margaret was an excellent host and met all our needs. It was wonderful visiting with her, Susan and Chevy. We recommend it highly.
Ryan (10/5): - Beautiful stay in Mahone Bay. Margaret (the owner) of the bed and breakfast was fantastic. Accommodating, kind, a great reference for local activities/hotspots; and an amazing woman with some great stories to share.
Jennifer (10/5): - The house, property and town are stunning. The ladies and Chevy (pup) were very sweet and welcoming. I would recommend this Bed & Breakfast to anyone looking for a nice B&B to stay.
Gaines (10/5): - This is a lovely inn in a lovely town. Highly recommend!
susan (10/5): - Such a lovely property and hostess! It was the perfect location for exploring the Main Street on foot…walk to stores and a choice of restaurants. There were multiple spaces to relax, inside and out. And options to cover your preferences….do you want a secluded unit in the back or prefer to be in the main house? If in the main house, there is an adorable pup and a shared bathroom, but it is massive and well situated. The breakfast was delicious….home made croissants, fresh fruit, homemade jam. I got a peek at the new studio in the back - it’s definitely worth checking out! If you are a reader there is the largest James Patterson collection I have ever seen, along with other mystery writers. And two very comfy chairs in which to sit. It is a place worth booking two nights at, to be honest!
Dan (10/5): - We highly recommend this place! Margaret is such a nice lady and her home is so beautiful and welcoming!! We plan to stay here again! Dan and Judy
Mike (6/5): - The overall property was nice and well maintained. The add however was misleading as we had no idea that we’d rented a suite in a separate building. We were excited to be staying in the house, but we were escorted to a loft in a building behind the house. It was nice but not the house. The main door didn’t lock, there was a shortage of towels (3 for 6 of us) and the coffee machine leaked water and wasn’t usable. All minor minus the non locking door. Great location.
Jessika (10/5): - The property was well kept and clean, the host was very kind and accommodating!
Carson (10/5): - Great, accommodating hostess. Beautifully decorated.
She (8/5): - Hi we were happy with our stay …
Regina (10/5): Chat with hostess - Very nice and charming b and b. Would goback a d recommend. Mahone Bay is a wonderful place to stay. Breakfast was fine if somewhat simple, though croissants were delicious. Very nice jostess who was a for.er MLA and Minister and great to chat to
Bruno (10/5): - Margaret et Susan sont très accueillante et on se sent rapidement à l'aise. La maison ancestrale est vraiment très belle , bien entretenue et décorée avec gôut. Petit déjeuner continental copieux avec des pâtisseries maison. Lit confortable. Mahone Bay est une belle petite ville.
Heather (6/5): - We stayed in the larger loft suite, which is actually above the garage and not part of the main house. Things were clean and comfortable. Assumed it was a B&B from the name but were never invited into the house or informed of any breakfast. Also, the door to the bottom suite did not lock from either side, making the stay a bit uncomfortable. Someone doing renovations left the tv on in the bottom suite all night at max volume as well.
Vatsalya (10/5): - We had a fantastic stay at this historic B&B, set in a beautifully preserved 1800s home that still carries its old-world charm. Margaret, our host, was incredibly welcoming and truly showcased warm Canadian hospitality. She made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The atmosphere was cozy and peaceful, and we especially loved Chevy, the adorable house dog who added a special touch to our visit. Would absolutely stay here again—highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique and heartwarming experience!
Cathy (8/5): - Very well kept. Would have liked a private bathroom.
Mariia (10/5): - Wonderfully kind and welcoming host. We stayed just for one night, but everything was great. Thank you so much!
David (10/5): - Margaret was a wonderful boast. This house has a lot of history and it is so very charming to be at. Breakfast was wonderful.
Janice (10/5): - Owner was a delight to talk with. Only issue was sharing a bathroom with other guests, but it all worked out okay.
Belinda (10/5): - Great place to stay! Lovely hostess
Roxane (6/5): - Chambre trop petite pour deux personnes avec bagages.
Daniel (10/5): - My stay at the Miller House.Bed and Breakfast was awesome. Tho house is beautiful and Margaret is a super host. I can absolutely recommend to stay here and can’t wait to stay there next time visiting that area of Nova Scotia.
Eric (10/5): Amazing place. - Amazing host. Margaret is very friendly and generous. Location is gorgeous in the heart of Mahone Bay.
Linda (10/5): - Margaret is certainly in her element, she makes you feel welcomed from the moment you walk through the door. Her home and property is just amazing and bonus, what’s not to love about the very quaint Mahone Bay. I’m so looking forward to my next visit!!
