Wonderful delightful couple who truly love their property and enjoy hosting their guests.
Pack light there is no elevator as stated - very walkable to the harbour and shopping
A very unique Inn that whisks you back to Victorian times in Scotland. The inn is located only a block away from the waterfront with its museum, eateries and the history of the first Scottish peoples landing in Nova Scotia. Sandy and Cathy are wonderful hosts. The bed was wonderfully comfortable. If you are looking for a place to stay that is a little different in a nice way, The Scotsman Inn is the place to stay
The Scotsman provides a very unique accommodation for any traveler. The room was well appointed with gorgeous furniture and beautiful artwork. The breakfast in the morning was outstanding. It was delightful to be served a delicious and well-thought-out breakfast. this property is definitely worth putting on your list when travelling in the Pictou area.
Very beautiful and well restored historical property. Sandy and Cathy are the proprietors and were gracious, friendly, and helpful. The breakfast in the dining room is a great experience and the second story deck is very comfortable.
A lovely Charming home with lots of character. The history is well explained by the hosts. The bed was comfortable and the room was well laid out with lovely amenities. It is stairs only so do be prepared for that. Lovely continental breakfast served in the morning
Very well maintained small hotel in Pictou. Old charm of Scotland. Nice room with very confortable King bed. Sandy, the innkeeper, is very knowledgeable and part of the Scottish charm. The breakfast was good in a very nice dining room. Definitely recommend.
Lovely, beautifully furnished historic inn the perfect location! The white tablecloth and china breakfast was a special treat.
On the downside, Our cozy room on the top floor was a bit too small, the hallways a bit too cluttered with no comfortable gathering spaces.
We stayed 2 nights at the Scotsman. Sandy and Kathy, the hosts, were most welcoming and helpful. The room was impeccably clean. The room decor showed there was time and thought put into the furnishings. The breakfast was great, served by Sandy, a true kilted Scotsman.
Wonderful hosts Kathy and Sandy.
Plenty parking also has a bike shed for motorcycles.
Bed was very comfortable and breakfast, served by Sandy in a kilt, was excellent
Fantastic deck for drinks
Clean room close to ferry. Laundromat across the street. Small quiet town on the water. Lots of rules staying here. I arrived with a small carryon luggage. That’s it. Nonetheless I was told no pillow or blankets were allowed (I did not have any). Made me think they may have had infestation issues in the past. Was out early for the ferry so skipped breakfast.
Sandy and Cathy are the best hosts. They are so engaging and really bring the Maritime charm to guests. Their restaurant suggestions and attraction recommendations were helpful and made our visit that much richer.
The Scotsman Inn is a lovely, gorgeously appointed B&B hotel that oozes charm and at-home comfort, with upscale attention to detail. The deck alone is worth the stay.
But what makes the Scotsman Inn remarkable and worthy of a trip are Sandy and Cathy, the owners and operators. They are lovely people who made our overnight stay before catching the ferry to PEI an experience we will never forget.
Treat yourself. Thank me later.
This is a lovely place to stay. The property is very well cared for, clean, and charming. Our room was well appointed with beautiful linens, boutique body products, and the bed was so comfortable!
The hosts are friendly and full of local knowledge which they are more than happy to share. I highly recommend this property!
What a great experience!!! Hosts went out of their to make sure we were looked after. Rooms and dining room were so well furnished and decorated. A definite “old world” British feel. Rooms are not large but it added to the experience. Highly recommended.
Wonderful rooms, spotlessly clean and every little detail thought of even down to a black facecloth to use to remove makeup if necessary or any other ‘messy’ job to save the beautiful white towels etc.
Ample parking.
Breakfast was continental, warm croissants made by Cathy, served with flair by Sandy dressed in his kilt in a stunning dining room.
A wonderful source of information too with suggested routes to get the best from your visit.
Thanks for a wonderful stay and maybe bump into you both sometime in Dumfries and Galloway.
The property is very convenient to the downtown area as well as being safe and quiet.
The owners, Sandy and Cathy, are excellent hosts. The rooms are clean, well maintained and are very comfortable. The rooms I have stayed in have all had good views of the town and harbor.
