The Scotsman Inn

Fantastic world traveller hosts Cathy and Sandy, a classic old house beautifully restored that feels a bit like a walk back in time and a modern at the same time. Huge second floor outside deck to enjoy the evening after your travels. !Motorcycle Friendly! with a Bike Barn to put your stead in for the evening. As one Pete of The 3Pete Tour around NS and Cape Breton I can easily highly recommend The Scotsman Inn. Would make a great base for a several day tour whichever way you want to go around fair Nova Scotia.

Due to the age of the building theres no elevator so if you have mobility issues this may not be your stop and only take what you need for the night if your bags are cumbersome. Otherwise, its a very clean, unique little Inn focused on preserving the feel of its age while providing modern amenities like internet. There are no TVs in the rooms which I thought was great but it would also take away from the decor and likely be too loud. The owners were friendly, the place was immaculate, room was quiet and a perfect temp. The bed was so comfortable I slept through breakfast. So I grabbed a coffee and chatted with the owner prior to check out. Will be back next year with the husband Im sure. Also, a great price!

We had the best sleep of our whole 2 week vacation! The king sized bed had a memory foam on top of the mattress, the pillows were very comfortable and the sheets were so soft. The continental breakfast was a bit on the formal side, and we sat with others at two large tables. The only thing that would make this better is not having to lug out luggage up two flights of stairs.

This stay was simply a stop over on our way from Charlottetown to Louisburg. We had originally booked the Customs House, but were told they'd overbooked, so the Scotsman Inn was our second choice. It was an interesting old building and the room was very nicely decorated. So many steps to get to it though! The building may not allow for an elevator, but perhaps they could hire a student and pay them minimum wage to assist with seniors baggage needs. The only negative comment is about the host. I guess he fancies himself a character. Unfortunately he fails to read the room". I have handled his type of schtick and shrugged it off. My wife, however, was not amused. She has a great sense of humour (she lives with me) but host needs to figure out when his insult comedy is going to far. One other thing He made a big deal of there being no eating OR DRINKING in the room. He even referred us to a notice to that effect posted in the room. There is nothing in the listing info about this. Ridiculous. Said the linens cost $1000 and he wouldn't hesitate to charge us if we soiled them. He said we were welcome to eat or drink on their deck. After spending the day traveling, we were looking forward to relaxing in our own room with our own snacks and beverages like we have done in a million other places. We have never been told not to have refreshments and have been to many beautiful small boutique inns. This is an out of the way inn and we were very glad we were only staying one night.
