The staff were very helpful and kind. The room and shared bathroom were very clean. Breakfast was plentiful and there was Keurig coffee and a large selection of tea. We didn’t use the hot tub but the patio was nice. The room we stayed in does not have A/C but the window fan kept us cool. I would recommend the Miller House to couples looking for an authentic Bed and Breakfast experience in a historic home.

I had a lovely stay here. The place is clean and tidy while still feeling very homey and cozy. I was so comfortable that I felt like I was at my own house, and not a stranger's! Everyone was super friendly and welcoming and I'm so glad I got to experience this amazing bed and breakfast. Will definitely be staying here again if I ever find myself in Nova Scotia in the future!

Margaret was a wonderful host and very accommodating and generous. She made us feel at home and encouraged us to treat her home ike our home. It’s a beautiful, well maintained historic home on Mahone Bay, which has a lot of history. It’s a beautiful community as well!

Lovely traditional property in a perfect location for the waterfront, shops and restaurants. Only downside was that my room, advertised as a deluxe single, didn’t have en suite facilities and had to share a bathroom with guests from two other rooms. Seemed outrageous given the cost and owners should be up front about this at the start.

Great location in Mahone Bay. Welcoming owners, nice rooms. Shared bathroom but that is expected in a B&B. Easy walking to restaurants and around town. Nice continental breakfast (we had fresh cooked croissants). Only complaint was lack of plugs/charing ports in room (had to unplug TV to access a plug).

Wow. Such a great place. Our hosts were super friendly and helpful with directions and a bot of local history.
If 1 could give more stars I would.
It is a short walk to the government dock where you can get a good picture of the iconic 3 churches. Do not miss the beautiful sunset if the night is clear.
Some nice shops (Amos Pewter) and shops with works from local artisans.

Wonderful home, with a wonderful host. She made us feel welcome right from the start. The room was spacious and well-decorated, and the bed was comfy. All was going well until Nova Scotia Power turned off the electricity @ 23:00 for work elsewhere. Elecricity was supposed to be back on @ 07:00, and we awoke to the smell of yeast - so something was happening in the kitchen. Alas, the power wasn't restored until some time closer to 09:00 IIRC, so the croissants were baked after we'd had our breakfast of cold cereal, fruit, yogurt, etc. Guests were sent on their way with croissants 'for the road', but we somehow forgot grab ours. Shucks. LOL
Highly recommended for those looking for a place to stay in the area.
BTW, Mahone Bay is very scenic and we got some nice photos.
