C'est un vieux bâtiment, mais l'intérieur très bien entretenu. Escalier un peu étroite, mais c'est une vieille bâtisse. Beau cachet. Propriétaires très recevants. Merci belle expérience.

Great location

The location is great for walking to anything near the harbor. Colorful Scottish host wore kilt to breakfast each morning. Breakfast served on beautiful china was always the same yogurt, granola, blueberries, and crescent dished out by host onto our plates. We either had to wait to eat or were hurried out because others were waiting to eat. Lots of steep stairs. Gorgeous back patio/yard and private parking behind. Rooms are small no tv, frig, or microwave. Shower extremely small. Comfortable bed. Friendly hosts.

We were so impressed with the quaint and eclectic look of the property. It was warm and charming in its decor. We were able to choose our room and decided on the third floor dormer that was comfortable and private.

The hosts Sandy & Cathy were very welcoming. Once checked into our room we met them along with other guests on their beautiful deck & shared a complimentary glass of wine. Sandy shared many historic stories of the area, very interesting.The room & inn was very clean & the bed very comfortable. We were served an excellent continental breakfast the next morning, Sandy serving it in his kilt. The only issue we found was the air conditioning could have been functioning better on such a hot night.

We arrive 15 min before check in and was told to wait in the parking lot or the garden in the hot sun. The aircon knobs control was removed and was told the aircon was set to maximum. It 35 degrees outside and waited 2 hrs to cool and complained that it was not cooling. We had to fight for the aircon to be fixed and called Expedia to to move us but to no avail

Room was small but we were there for short overnight stay so didn't matter.Wife has MS and there were alot of stairs up to room but again short stay.Walking distance to several restaurants with harbor view.Close to ferry terminal and motorcycle parking.Owner very accommodating.

We checked in the Saturday of the Victoria Day weekend. Sandy offered to book us at a restaurant, but it was full so he made other recommendations. The Continental breakfast was good. The room was clean, the bed comfortable. If your looking for a place to stay in Pictou County, I would recommend The Scotsman Inn.
