“Nice cabins, exceptional breakfast”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 September 2011

Note to Tripadvisor: the name of the town is South Baymouth, not Southbay Mouth.

Although I'd typically picture a B&B as being one building with several rooms, this establishment has separate cabins/cottages. They were rustic, but were roomy and comfortable. The breakfast, served in one central building (where staff lived, it appeared), was exceptinally good. Our cabin had no view of the bay but was wtihin a very short walking distance of the small town. If you're taking the morning ferry, you'll be advised to take your car to the loading area and check in, then return to the hotel for breakfast (which starts at 8 a.m.), and then walk back to your car when loading of the ferry starts. Easy walk. There are less expensive options in the area but since we booked at the last minute and the room was nice and the breakfast very good, we were happy.

“Great accomodations, quite & relaxing!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2011

I had my surprise romantic birthday getaway with my girlfriend at the Southbay Guest house in Sudbury. It was a great place with our own private large bedroom, with nice ensuite bathroom with shower & jacuzzi tub. We had our own private sunroom off the large bedroom. The room had an A/C unit to keep me cool, & the bed was extra comfy.

In the morning we woke up & went to the kitchen for a fresh spread of fruit & yogurt. I had some of the best french toast ever cooked by the bed & breakfast host "Jose" who was a great conversationalist. My girlfriend & I had a great stay while at the Southbay Guest house, & would recommend it to any open minded travelers. Thanks again Jose!

“Loved it”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 July 2011

We have stayed in B&B's before and hated them. This time was totally different. We were made to feel really welcome and the room and food was great.
The ferry is a 3 minute walk so we went and parked our car in line and them went back to the B&B for breakfast.
When the ferry came in we just walked 3 minutes back and got in our car.
We will be going back in September.

My Son and I stayed 1 night at Southbay Guest House after cycling from Vancouver Canada.
It was absolutely wonderfull !!!!

The owners are very pleasant, nice people!
Nancy, who works in the art shop is also very nice!

Frankie prepared us one of the best breakfasts we had on our entire trip!
The cottage we stayed in was very comfortable!

I plan on returning in the future with my wife.
