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.

This was simply AMAZING… Sandy was there to welcome us and show us around. The place is spotless and the details right down to the kind of shampoo was over the top. We will certainly recommend to all our friends and family. Thank you again !!

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.

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.

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.

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.

B&B’s have stairs to your room…

Difficult climbing 50 steps with luggage to room although we knew this was coming. Do not arrive before 4:00 check in. Nice breakfast but not a lot of protein. Room was nice with view.
