Fantastic stay!
This property is a lovingly renovated old building in historic Pictou. Rooms are comfortable but on the small side as befits the style of Inn. Rooms are meticulously clean. Be aware, there are stairs to this property if mobility is an issue. There is a lovely deck garden area for evening drinks and conversation. Breakfast is served with personal attention by our Scottish host! Sandy and Cathy are amazing hosts. They went above and beyond and provided great travel advise for our road trip to Cape Breton.

Nice stay. We were on the top floor, lots of stairs. Bed and pillows were firmer than what we are used to. Very clean. Continental breakfast included croissants and yogurt with granola/fresh blueberries and drinks. Sandy made reservations for us at Nook and Cranny - excellent choice!!

A lovely old building. Quiet, spotlessly clean and comfortable. Excellent hosts, very friendly and accommodating. Who wouldn't enjoy having breakfast served by the host in a kilt? For anyone with mobility issues, there is no elevator. And, a pleasant surprise - no TV - at least not in my room.
