Fantastic stay!
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.

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.

Rude and inflexible hosts!
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!!!

The property is advertised as Inn, but it is not a full service inn. We did not notice the check in time ending at 7 pm. I got anger phone call to tell us that “the Check in is ending, we have to find the accommodation somewhere”. During the whole process, the manager screamed at us and hang up on us twice. The manager was eager to go somewhere. We connected with Expedia agency, the manager also refused to collaborate with Expedia or refund us. We ended up have to find another hotel and paid extra cost. Completely horrible experience!

This was a very unique last minute find for a quick trip and close to the stellarton area right where I needed to get too. The hosts were so kind and personable and engaged in conversation, made sure I had everything I needed. They had a very rustic, scottish feel to it with a great history to go along with it. In the rooms was everything from clean bedding, towels, a dresser if needed, a sitting chair in the corner, two lamps and plugs right by the bed, A/C in the window, shampoo & conditioner, make up remover, cotton pads & q-tips. They had a complimentary breakfast in a beautiful dining room and a back patio with tables and flowers. I will recommend this place to my friends & family and will definitely come back!
