Comfort, character, and hospitality! The Scotsman Inn is a model for these qualities. The inn is a beautifully renovated historic building featuring lovely antique furniture and artwork. The new wood floors (and everything else for that matter) are immaculate. Our bed was extremely comfortable, and breakfast was delightfully served in a formal dining room. Sandy and Kathy are gracious, entertaining, and attentive hosts providing some history about the building as well as pointers for things to do and places to eat in the area.
United States of AmericaSandy & Cathy are wonderful hosts who only want your visit to be comfortable & pleasurable. If your just starting your visit, stay at “The Scotsman”. Sandy has areas for you to take note of which are worthy of stopping at. Generally not noted in tourist books. Breakfast was awesome in the beautiful dining room, served on china. Thank you Cathy for your hard work keeping everything pristine & so welcoming! Sandy thank you for regaling us with your many stories, humour & information. Thank you both for making our stay so very special!
CanadaThe hotel was charming. The owners have it decorated with original paintings and antique furniture. The beds were very comfortable. The Scotsman wearing his kilt was quite a character with lots of stories to tell.
CanadaThis place is an historic inn. As such you need to adjust your expectations. We were on the fourth floor and the inn has no elevator. So you just figure the climb as part of your daily physical exercise. Also being on the upper floor means the water pressure can be a challenge if others are showering at the time you wish to do so. The ambiance of the breakfast room is amazing. The tableware is first class and the table settings are arranged in a classic way. One of the most amazing aspects of the stay is meeting one of the hosts, Sandy the Scotsman. He is a character of a bygone era. His hosting of breakfast dressed in his kilt adds to the total character of the place. This is a stay you will not soon forget.
United States of AmericaVery cozy and clean rooms. Owners are very friendly and accommodating.

We are a very short 2 minute walk from all of Pictou's attraction's including the water front board walk, museums, lobster farm, and the famous Hector sailing ship. All the shops and restaurants are just outside the front door. We have dry secure storage for people on bikes and off road parking for motor bikes and cars.
We have owned and operated small hotels around the world. On the island of Vava'u in the South Pacific, in Banff and Lake Louise in the Canadian Rockies, and Meribel in the French Alps. We have run a great sea food restaurant in the South pacific called the Giggling Whale and had live aboard sailing charters in the Mediterranean and in the South Pacific. We love to ski, sail, scuba dive and meet people around the world in our free time. Its a big world with so little time and so many great places to see and people to meet Cathy and I look forward to hearing your stories of your travels around Nova Scotia and the world over coffee in the morning or a drink in the evening
Its amazing here Pictou is where the first Scots settled and Nova Scotia got its name. So lots of history to discover. We have the ocean, nature, beaches, national parks, museums, great restaurants, interesting shops, and lovely very friendly local people. You can raft the highest tides in the world, go fishing or hiking or just do nothing! We are in the perfect location for the PEI ferry and people looking for a base to explore this great area of Nova Scotia
