We traveled from Ontario to sight see in Maine and then over to Nova Scotia. I picked this B&B while surfing the web weeks before we left on vacation as the rooms appealed to me and how right I was!! This mansion was restored to grandeur after a fire in part of it by Esther and Gil Dares. The service... more

What a great place! Besides the wonderful beds and pillows, the Adirondack chairs facing the harbor, the terrific breakfasts, the goodie bags Esther sent with us on our outings, the beautiful landscaping, I think I enjoyed our bathroom the best. We stayed 4 nights, and I took a leisurely bath every chance I got. Our bathroom was so large and... more

Where do I start......recommended by many Trip Advisors I decided to go ahead and make a reservation. All I can say is, this was truly a wonderful find. Esther couldn’t have been more accommodating if she tried. We were fascinated by the story of the house, you could feel that a lot of love and hard work went into it's... more

We found the Harbour's Edge while reviewing B&B's in Nova Scotia prior to our trip but unfortunately they didn't have a room available on the day we had planned to be in Yarmouth. However, after arriving in Halifax we made the decision to adjust our travel itinerary so that we would be in Yarmouth towards the end of the trip... more

We only stayed here for one night and that was such a pity. The house is perfectly styled and the rooms were excellent. Esther, the lady of the house made us very welcome and is rightly proud of her house. She is very attentive and did everything in her power to see we were happy. The breakfast was first class,... more

Ester and Gil love their house, and they love their guests. We were fascinated by the saga of restoring this historic house and bringing it back to its old glory. The decor is very tasteful and charming, it really feels like the 19th century. And the breakfasts, lovingly prepared by Ester, were something we would never forget, everything was homemade. more

Esther was extremely hospitable and helped make the most of our short stay in Yarmouth. We loved the beautiful B&B with all it's historic architecture. A bonus was getting to meet the adorable and loving Golden Retrievers. Thank you Esther for everything!! more

As part of our 50th wedding anniversary celebration trip to Nova Scotia, my wife and I spent our first night in Canada with Gil and Esther at the Harbor's Edge B more

We stayed two evenings at this wonderful B & B in early July. It is just north of town, five minutes drive from The Cat terminal and all of the attractions and restaurants in Yarmouth. Esther and her family are charming, friendly, and knowledgeable about the area. The home was reclaimed from a devastating fire - the photos and narrative... more
