Located downtown in the centre of historic Yarmouth, just up from the harbour and ferry terminal, home of "The Cat". Murray Manor is directly across the street from the Nova Scotia Visitor Information Centre, on the corner of Main Street and Forest Street. Minutes from the airport and bus terminals and walking distance to the grand Yarmouth County Museum, the Fire Fighter's Museum, restaurants and shopping.
Murray Manor is part of Yarmouth's Historic Walking Tour.
This impressive Regency style house has Gothic influences being built in Circa 1820. It was a gift from the Honourable James Bond to his daughter Anne and her husband James Murray, Judge of the Probate Court.
The home stayed in the family until 1936. It has a bell-hipped roof and lovely Gothic windows on the first floor with "prayer" windows above (so low one has to kneel to see out).
Today, this Heritage Home is a Bed & Breakfast and is known for its lovely gardens and original stone wall. Each of the guest rooms in the Manor have been named for local Lighthouses in keeping with the history of the area. The rooms are decorated with period decor, each having its own special flavour. Spaciousness and comfort have been the driving force in planning each room.
