Summary: We had a great stay at the Scotsman's inn. The Inn is full of history, art and the rooms are very comfortable. Home made breakfast in the dining room was a very enjoyable experience!

Summary: Sandy and Kathy were very pleasant and down to earth hosts. The room was beautiful and the quality of the bedding was better than I have at home. There is parking off the street just beside the accommodations but be sure you are ok with stairs before you book as the check in desk in on the 2nd floor and rooms are on the next two floors above that. The stairs are steep but not crazy steep. There is a lovely outside area to mingle with the hosts and other guests and we were offered a complementary glass of wine which was lovely. Now there is the comical Sandy who serves you breakfast in the morning, for a very reasonable add on, ..you get granola, yoghurt and fruit, croissant and jam and coffee, tea and or juice. One guest came in a little after the others and went to pour his own coffee and Sandy told him "SIT.... you're not at the Holiday inn or Best Western, I WILL SERVE YOU" as he walked around in his kilt - YES his kilt I memorable stay -

Summary: Small independant Inn. Rooms are small but comfortable, but it is a climb to reach them so if you have mobility issues, this could be problematic. There are no ammentites in the room, each floor has a communal bar fridge and coffee maker, and there are no TV's in the rooms (not an issue for us but might be for others). Its a great central location in Pictou, short walk to local shops and restaurans and our room had a nice view of the water which was about a block away. Lots of parking, great outdoor patio where you can join other guests and owners for a chat and a glass of wine just after check in Inn which is at 4 pm.

Summary: If you want to stay somewhere different then the Scotsman Inn is the place for you. The property is furnished with antique furniture, quality bed linen and toiletries. If you are lucky you get to share a glass of wine with the hosts who have a wealth of information that they are happy to share. This is a unique comfortable inn. Just remembered to pack light for your stay, there is no lifts and lots of stairs.

Summary: Well, where to start? This is a gorgeously restored historic inn, with lovely furniture and comfortable beds. The hosts are....well, characters. They do their business their way and don't apologize for it. Some would say this impinges on the guest perception of customer service. Our experience was mixed. For example, after a 6-hour drive, tired and needing a restroom, we arrived and approached the back of the building where someone yelled out the ground-level door, "We're not open yet!" and slammed the door quite hard. We were shocked. We took a walk and when we came back by another entrance to check in, the hosts brushed off our experience, neither apologizing or saying they'd look into it. Later we received dark looks for eating take-out on the patio. The rooms are small and could use more places to put your things (instead of too many ornaments). There was no closet at all in my room. And the showers are tiny, though the owner says that they meet code even if the clients don't....

Summary: Sandy and Kathy were great hosts. A very warm welcome with a glass of wine on the porch with the owners and other guests. It was like staying at a friend’s house. The building is fantastic, with old world charm. and elegant furnishings. This place is a destination unto itself. I will definitely be back and spend more time

Summary: This is a beautiful hotel right in the heart of Pictou. The decor is amazing and the rooms are beautiful and comfortable. There is breakfast available in the dining room and also several other good dining options in easy walking distance. The owner is super friendly and invites guests to hang out on the beautiful back porch to relax. Definitely recommended!

Summary: First, the accommodations were top notch, charming and very comfortable. Our Scottish host -Sandy- was welcoming, delightful, very helpful with trip planning and an all around interesting and entertaining fellow. The stay was worthwhile just to interact with him! The homemade breakfast, using NO PLASTIC was also fantastic! Will be back.
