    Elegant furniture, breakfast in style in beautifully appointed formal dining room but comfortable and friendly. The hosts were the high point - worth staying there just for them. Interesting is an understatement.

    Breakfast was unique with Sandy serving in a traditional kilt and entertaining all the guests. The China at Breakfast was very special, hand-painted and antique. Sandy is an extremely good Alpine Skier and has many interesting stories to tell.

    When we arrived we were greeted friendly by the owner who already had a story ready. The artwork, memorabilia and the owner himself create a warm and unique atmosphere so you feel at home rather than in a hotel. We would love to come back someday...

    Sandy and Cathy were exceptional in making us feel welcome. Loved the idea of having a big table for breakfast so we could get to know three other couples - we actually met them again in our travels - it was nice to have had a chance to catch up...

    Breakfast was delicious and the presentation (silver, china, crystal) was outstanding. Not to mention the service itself - what a treat

    The experience of meeting Sandy & Cathy was the best part. An impressive old building.

Company info

We have owned and operated small hotels around the world. On the island of Vava'u in the South Pacific, in Banff and Lake Louise in the Canadian Rockies, and Meribel in the French Alps. We have run a great seafood restaurant in the South Pacific called the Giggling Whale and Thirsty Turtle. We have had live-aboard sailing charters in the Mediterranean and in the South Pacific. We love to ski, sail, scuba dive, and meet people around the world in our free time. It's a big world with so little time and so many great places to see and people to meet Cathy and I look forward to hearing the stories of your travels around Nova Scotia and the world over coffee in the morning or a drink in the evening on the new guest patio or in the new garden

Property info

As Canadians, we support the people of Ukraine so we will not accept any reservations from any Russians t Long Live Ukraine We are a 2-minute walk from all of Pictou's attractions including the waterfront boardwalk, museums, lobster farm, and the famous Hector sailing ship. All the shops and restaurants are just outside the front door. We have private off-street parking and a secure bike barn for people on cycles and motorbikes cars.

Neighborhood info

Its amazing here Pictou is where the first Scots settled and Nova Scotia got its name. So lots of history to discover. We have the ocean, nature, beaches, national parks, museums, great restaurants, interesting shops, and lovely very friendly local people. You can raft the highest tides in the world, go fishing or hiking or just do nothing! We are in the perfect location for the PEI ferry and people looking for a base to explore this great area of Nova Scotia
