The Scotsman Inn

We had the best sleep of our whole 2 week vacation! The king sized bed had a memory foam on top of the mattress, the pillows were very comfortable and the sheets were so soft. The continental breakfast was a bit on the formal side, and we sat with others at two large tables. The only thing that would make this better is not having to lug out luggage up two flights of stairs.

Sandy and Cathy were wonderful hosts. The Inn is well kept. There is a lovely deck and garden in which to sit and enjoy a beverage. There are numerous stairs as it is a historic building so if you have mobility issues it will be a challenge to a stay here. The bed in our room was exceptional. The shower was small but had great water pressure. You can see the effort they put in to the up keep. Overall a great stay.

This stay was simply a stop over on our way from Charlottetown to Louisburg. We had originally booked the Customs House, but were told they'd overbooked, so the Scotsman Inn was our second choice. It was an interesting old building and the room was very nicely decorated. So many steps to get to it though! The building may not allow for an elevator, but perhaps they could hire a student and pay them minimum wage to assist with seniors baggage needs.The only negative comment is about the host. I guess he fancies himself a character. Unfortunately he fails to “read the room. I have handled his type of schtick and shrugged it off. My wife

Due to the age of the building there’s no elevator so if you have mobility issues this may not be your stop and only take what you need for the night if your bags are cumbersome. Otherwise, it’s a very clean, unique little Inn focused on preserving the feel of its age while providing modern amenities like internet. There are no TVs in the rooms which I thought was great but it would also take away from the decor and likely be too loud. The owners were friendly, the place was immaculate, room was quiet and a perfect temp. The bed was so comfortable I slept through breakfast. So I grabbed a coffee and chatted with the owner prior to check out. Will be back next year with the husband I’m sure. Also, a great price!

Fantastic world traveller hosts Cathy and Sandy, a classic old house beautifully restored that feels a bit like a walk back in time and a modern at the same time. Huge second floor outside deck to enjoy the evening after your travels. !Motorcycle Friendly! with a Bike Barn to put your stead in for the evening. As one Pete of The 3Pete Tour around NS and Cape Breton I can easily highly recommend The Scotsman Inn. Would make a great base for a several day tour whichever way you want to go around fair Nova Scotia.

What a great experience!Sandy and Cathy were excellent hosts. Unforgettable 2 nights. Comfortable, courteous, clean, convenient, and a bit crass... A perfect blend of everything you need for a memorable stay.

Sandy and Cathy are wonderful hosts. Sandy was always willing to share a story and a joke and give tips to fill in our travel plans.The Conntinental breakfast was delicious. Beautifully served in fine surroundings!

Many thanks to Sandy and Cathy for an unforgettable stay in a unique location. This is by far the best hotel in my life, and I have seen a lot of them. Warm homely atmosphere, but your home will never be so clean and everything is prepared for you. Incredible and unexpected place. Will definitely come back here and recommend to friends. Thanks Sandy!

Beautiful, spacious rooms, located in the heart of Pictou. Luxury with an old charming feel. The courtyard and balcony offers a great place to relax in the sun with the coastal breeze on your skin.
