Exploring Yarmouth for the first time from the States, we chose Harbour's Edge from viewing websites. Tis a beautiful and grand mansionesque home, and as we found out, well loved and cared for by its owners and host. Perfectly located for a brisk stroll into Yarmouth proper for good dining and unique shopping. Esther serves up an amazing breakfast of... More

We journeyed to Yarmouth with friends and were super glad that we had chosen this B&B for an overnight stay. Breakfast was divine. The rooms and grounds are wonderful, and we enjoyed learning about the restoration of the property. I'm sure that there are other delightful B&Bs in the area, but we would certainly choose this one again.

We stayed at the Harbour's Edge last week, based on TripAdvisor information. We were traveling to Yarmouth for tests before knee surgery the following next week. We'd recently had to stay at a hotel in Halifax following surgery, and the two days we spent there were stessful. Being away from home recuperating from a medical procedure is difficult, and I...

The extra touches are wonderful... More

My mom and I traveled to Nova Scotia to fulfill my mom's dream of visiting the east coast of Canada. (She's 80!) We spent 2 nights at the Harbour's Edge which turned out to be the highlight of places we stayed. The entire house holds all the charm and beauty of a couple (Gil and Ester) who value the history...

Delightful B & B in a lovingly restored home. Esther provided all the help she could and answered all our many questions about the area. What a treat it was to have such a delicious breakfast, orange French toast with maple sausages and homemade orange sauce - what a way to start the day!

So glad you liked our breakfast! That one is my favourite too. Come back again and ask me to make you Peach Clafouti with Citrus Sauce. That is another keeper. Thank you so much for your kind words. More

The Harbour`s Edge B/B in Yarmouth can be described as the perfect B/B, I am surprised it isnt pictured in the Nova Scotia Tourism guide as the Best of the Province. Beautiful restored home situated on the edge of the harbour on a wonderful mantained garden of a yard. The deck chairs facing the water you can watch the coming... More

Wonderful hospitality and gracious rooms, bed and public as well. The view down the lawn is into the harbor and is a most graceful scene for a late afternoon toddy. Highly recommend this to any traveling tourist.

The location was excellent, right on the water. The property was beautiful and i slept like a baby. The breakfast was to die for. The owner was gracious, warm and a wonderful person. If I ever get back here from Florida, I will stay here!

We have been staying with Esther when in Yarmouth twice a year for 5 years now. She has a wealth of knowledge about the area and her B&B is comfortable and in a beautiful location. Be sure to ask for the orange-baked french toast for breakfast. Also check out the binder with the story of the renovation.
