The Inn is beautiful and near many restaurants. The hosts were wonderful and helped immensely with tips and suggestions for our trip to the Cabot Trail. Finally, the breakfast was fresh and tasty (loved the homemade croissants) and served by the one and only Scotsman in a kilt. Enjoyed our time there.

This place was very charming. The hosts were terrific. Very colorful and informative. Upon arrival, after we settled into our room we were invited to sit on their lovely deck and sip some homemade wine while meeting other arriving guests from all parts of the world. Fun experience.

Our stay at the Scotsman Inn was amazing! Sandy and Cathy are wonderful hosts who welcomed us as if we were family. We met all the guests in the morning at breakfast and got to know them as if they were old friends. Sandy was very knowledgeable and entertaining and gave us great travel advice for our trip to PEI. We will definitely be back when we return to Pictou.
