We came across a jewel in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia
Wonderful food experience. Walked through the Historic District and came across a wonderful Museum steps away from the MacKinnon Cann Inn. Walked down to the waterfront and spoke to local fisherman getting ready to go out for the daily catch. Drove out to the Cape to see a beautiful restored Lighthouse. The staff and Innkeeper helped make our stay perfect - we will return.

A Special Place - You Can't Miss It
August 21, 2014The innkeeper and co-owner, Neal, and his co-owner, Michael, were the best hosts that any guest could ask for. The inn was beautiful and meticulously maintained and decorated. It was great to be seated for breakfast and have both owners talk to us about their experiences in creating this beautiful inn. They kept us laughing and made us very comfortable.... more

Wonderful stay
August 21, 2014We took the ferry over from Portland and stayed three nights in the 1940's room. The room was clean and comfortable. The inn was quite beautiful. We were able to take a peek at the other rooms before the other guests arrived. Neil was very friendly and accommodating. We showed up without much of a plan and he was able... more

We had travelled over on the NovaStar on Sunday July 20th and toured Nova Scotia going up the east coast stopping at Halifax then heading west to Wolfville, then down the west coast ending back in Yarmouth.

An Amazing Property
June 29, 2014Our short one night stay at the Mackinnon-Cann Inn earlier this month was exceptional. We had a lovely room, extremely well decorated in the "Queen Victorian" style. We were well looked after by our host Neil. It was great to have a "history tour" of the property with Michael and listen to the history of the previous owners and about... more

(a) wonderful innkeeper at the top of his game. He went the extra mile to adapt to our needs/desires. breakfast was fresh, tasty and perfectly-timed for the outgoing Ferry.
(b) the rooms have pizzazz: they are cleverly decorated to evoke a particular decade. we stayed in the 1900s room, which sports a whirlpool bath.

Delightful Energy! Wonderful Food! Awesome Hospitality
June 13, 2014Our children's first visit at the Inn was mid June 2014. Apparently, after leaving the bank card at home, they came off the boat on hope and prayer! Until funds could be received, the men were gracious enough to care for the girls with a sincere, loving generosity. The children report the Inn to be beautiful, and they've even been... more

June 10, 2014It would be perfect if it had a king size bed. Neil was a fantastic host. The Inn is beautiful top to bottom. The breakfast was cooked to order, very tasty, fresh berries, just yummy. Definitely go back to this one.

Great Hotel, Location & Owners
March 02, 2014
Let me start by saying: Until I stayed here, I had many reservations and concerns about staying at a Bed & Breakfast, anywhere.
Neil and Michael were the most gracious and loving hosts one could ever hope for. They would stop the world from spinning if you requested it.
They have a very neat room number/design system. Every room is...
