This was a very tiny well-kept and clean facility with in a 15 minute drive 5 of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen for more Nova Scotia staycation 2025
Host was lovely - so friendly and accommodating. Loved meeting her and the other guests. Breakfast was wonderful. The home was immaculate and decorated beautifully.
Kim is the most welcoming, friendly hostess you could ever wish to meet. Her cute little dog Zoe is the best.
Thank you Kim for allowing us to share your beautiful home.
We enjoyed a quiet night in a comfortable room with an absolutely wonderful breakfast to finish off our stay before heading to Daniel’s Head Beach. Thank you for your hospitality.
What a lovely host Kim is! The location is beautiful to get that full Nova Scotian experience. The beaches in this area are some of the best in the province! Will be back.
Highly recommend staying here. Kim was an amazing host and Zoe was the cutest greeter! Kim went above and beyond in her communication and made sure that we had an enjoyable stay. Would definitely return hopefully to take advantage of the beautiful beach.
Lovely B&B at a great location and with great value. Super clean, comfortable bed Nd delicious breakfast. Great hosting! There back has a nice deck with comfortable seating facing the ocean. Great spot for bird watching, among other. Loved it!
I had two back to back reservations and they were both great experiences. Wonderful host, very clean and comfortable rooms, great breakfast. The location is great: Clarke’s Harbour is beautiful and this home has a back deck facing the ocean. Great for birdwatching!
We really enjoyed our stay at Mama's. Beautiful scenery in Clark's Harbor.
Mama's made us feel at home while we were away from home. She is friendly and welcoming.
The breakfast was great and her homemade jams were excellent (everyone had their favorite).
Super cozy bed - best we’ve slept in on our trip so far. We forgot that it was a shared bathroom but that worked just fine. Kim arranged a lobster boil for us which was fantastic! Absolutely stunning location. Cookies were super yummy too!
Our hostess was very hospitable, as was her Yorkie! We arrived and the deck looking at the sea welcomed us! Walked the nearby boardwalk to get homemade ice cream! The bed, breakfast, and company were great!
This property offers an authentic Nova Scotia experience.
Kim is a natural as a hostess. She is pleasant, accommodating and informative. She is also a good cook. Make sure you have the lobster boil!
The property, which is oceanside, is close to the local attractions, especially the beaches.
The amenities are more than satisfactory. I had the best sleep of the 2 weeks spent in Nova Scotia.
We arrived as guests and left as friends.
