The Scotsman Inn

Awesome experience with caring knowledgeable hosts!! Formal service at breakfast which was excellent! Definitely 5 star experience.

Fantastic!! Will definitely be returning when coming back to the area. Wonderful hospitality experience with very knowledgeable and attentive hosts.

This property is a lovingly renovated old building in historic Pictou. Rooms are comfortable but on the small side as befits the style of Inn. Rooms are meticulously clean. Be aware, there are stairs to this property if mobility is an issue. There is a lovely deck garden area for evening drinks and conversation. Breakfast is served with personal attention by our Scottish host! Sandy and Cathy are amazing hosts. They went above and beyond and provided great travel advise for our road trip to Cape Breton.

Nice stay. We were on the top floor, lots of stairs. Bed and pillows were firmer than what we are used to. Very clean. Continental breakfast included croissants and yogurt with granola/fresh blueberries and drinks. Sandy made reservations for us at Nook and Cranny - excellent choice!!

A lovely old building. Quiet, spotlessly clean and comfortable. Excellent hosts, very friendly and accommodating. Who wouldn't enjoy having breakfast served by the host in a kilt? For anyone with mobility issues, there is no elevator. And, a pleasant surprise - no TV - at least not in my room.

Sandy and Cathy were wonderful hosts and very helpful. We look forward to returning and highly recommend you stay here.

I’m on a month long MC trip and once I got out of Yarmouth, I was hoping to find places w a more local flavor. The Scotsman, was. Really charming, it even comes with it own health club experience, no elevator and all the rooms ont he third or fourth floor. Sandy the InKeeper was really helpful, offered his Bike Barn if I wanted tot use it , but suggested even parking on the street would be OK. He event sent me down to I believe the Nook and Cranny, a “locals” favorite for a great meal. I had to get up early for theFerry, so didn’t even get to stay good bye, but if I’m ever in the neighborhood again, I know where I’m staying and would recommend the same to anyone who is interested.

What was terribly disappointing was the unwillingness of the owners to let us check in after 7:00 pm. Even though they live in the same place, when I called and asked them if we could check in at 8 pm or 9 pm instead of 7 pm they said NO because at that time they would be having dinner, and they would not want to interrupt dinner to have as check in later, so we could be visiting places. Isn’t that what tourist do? They refused and then hang up on me. VERY RUDE!!!

An absolutely charming Inn. The rooms were spotless with many amenities. Sandy and Cathy were wonderful. A complimentary glass of wine on there beautiful deck. The breakfast was served on fine china. A 10/10 experience.
