What a lovely hotel. This is the first hotel in Pictou and it is gorgeous. The entire hotel is gorgeous, our room was wonderful and the breakfast was nice. The only downsize is that there is no elevator so it was alot of steps to get to the first floor room.

Very nice inn. The staffs are very friendly and resourceful. The inn is close to most restaurants in the town. And, Princess Anne visited and stayed here in 1991 honoring the arrival of the Ship Hector from Scotland to the Port of Pictou in 1773.

Appreciated the quiet and an interesting historic building. Could walk to town quite easily. Keep in mind you'll be asked to pay up front, which isn't usual in my hotel experience. There are religious/biblical quotes throughout common spaces, and the rules are quite strict.

The owner and her son were very available and friendly. At our 7 pm check in we were asked if we planned to go to a restaurant for dinner because the nearby restaurants closed at 8 pm. With that information we decided to defer carrying suitcases to our room until after dinner. Note that there isn't an elevator in this historic building and all bedrooms are upstairs. The breakfast had good variety including boiled eggs, yogurt, fruit and cereal. Gluten free granola and toast were available on request.

A Perfect Seaside Stay with Old World Charm We had the absolute pleasure of staying at this charming boutique hotel nestled in a beautiful historical home nearly a century old. From the moment we arrived, we were swept away by the old English character that runs through every detail of the house: beautiful vintage décor, wood floors, and an unmistakable sense of timeless elegance. Our room was adorable, spotless, and full of personality. We were especially lucky to have a corner unit that offered breathtaking views of both the sea and the surrounding forest—a truly rare treat. Waking up to the sound of waves and birdsong was something special. The host and owner was incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. They offered excellent recommendations for local restaurants. This place is a hidden gem, perfect for anyone who appreciates the beauty of historical buildings, thoughtful hospitality, and that unmistakable old English charm. We’re already dreaming of our next visit. Highly recommended!
