Fodor's Expert Review Harbour's Edge Bed & Breakfast

12 Vancouver St., Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, B5A 2N8, Canada

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

If you're looking for waterside gardens, appealing rooms, and welcoming hosts, you'll find them all at this 1864 home. The rooms, all named for women who resided here, are especially attractive because the owners opted for an uncluttered look rather than floral overload. The same applies to the sitting/breakfast area, but you'll probably be too distracted by the harbor view to notice. At high tide the water laps against the lawn of the mature 2-acre garden; at low tide birds pay frequent visits.

PROS

  • the only Yarmouth lodging that's on the water
  • exemplary hosts
  • terrific French toast at breakfast

CONS

  • road outside can be busy
  • private bath for the "Clara Caie" room's bathroom, while private, is down the hall
