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.

Sandy & Cathy are terrific hosts and its a beautiful historic property. Sandy is a character and will keep you laughing! We had a great time and would have liked to be there for more than one night. We would absolutely stay there again.

Classic building with comfortable bed and great patio and garden. The host is a gregarious Scot. Pictou is small but charming with many old buildings and a nice waterfront.

Robert, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The owners of this property have put alot of effort into having guests feel like one big family and to feel looked after. Sandy personally served everyone their breakfast in such a classy yet friendly way, in a formal dining room complete with china and all the trimmings. It was a very special experience.
Brenda, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay. Sandy and Kathy were wonderful hosts. Beds were very comfortable and the hotel has been beautiful maintained. Nice glass of wine to welcome us to their beautiful establishment. If you are staying in Pictou then stay at The Scotsman.
Simone, 1-night trip

Beautiful old building. The room was excellent, with great finishes. Washroom was functional, if small. Lots of steps to get to the 3rd floor.

Authentic inn run by a Scotsman and his wife; he serves breakfast in the dining room in his kilt. He has a wealth of knowledge about the history of the area. Our room was quaint in a visiting-your-aunt-in the-country kind of way. Great location for exploring Pictou.
Michael, 1-night trip

Sandy and Cathy are wonderful hosts. They are very hospitable and share good advice about travelling throughout Nova Scotia and PEI.
Greg, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Sandy!!!! He makes the stay special & goes out of his way to inform you on the area history & things to see. Cathy’s croissants are amazing. You need to do to have breakfast served by a man in a kilt.
Robert, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice location, convient parking
Curtis, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was our favourite accommodation on our recent trip to Nova Scotia and PEI. The room with private bath was gorgeous. The hospitality was superb. Our host, Sandy, was charming and an outstanding storyteller. Breakfasts were a delightful and delish experience with Sandy serving in his kilt while Kathy baked croissants in the kitchen. Cannot speak highly enough about this memorable stay.

Beautiful king bedroom
Cynthia, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We very much enjoyed our two night stay at The Scotsman’s Inn. Sandy and Cathy were convivial hosts and provided us with a lot of helpful advice on areas of local interest and our journey onwards to Cape Breton. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and the bed/mattress was very comfortable. The Inn had been lovingly restored and was full of character. A small improvement for us would have been the provision of natural yoghurt and decaf coffee for breakfast.
Jacqueline, 2-night trip

Super Scotsman Inn
