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.

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.

Breakfast was very nice and served with style by Sandy in his kilt. As the owners are the sole employees there was no flexibility with check in time (and we got an ear full arriving less than 5 mins early). The Owner is also very vocal on political opinions which raised eyebrows with us and several guests. All in all, it was a fair stay.

Very quaint, old-timey inn with hosts who were both friendly and accommodating. They made us feel right at home. I wanted the experience of stepping off a ship into a new land, and that’s exactly what it felt like—in the best way. Breakfast was wonderful, shared with a true Scotsman and his incredible hospitality. (Pack light as there is no elevator as it was built in the 1800's)
