We had a wonderful stay in Pictou at the Braeside Country Inn. Sweet little spot with a wonderful host. The place was clean and quaint with lots of nice touches in this historic building. If you’re looking for a place that’s different from the ordinary, has charm, and character, this is the place for you.

The hotel is set in a beautiful location. The property its self is very tired and could use to be updated and deep cleaned. I loved the area and I would likely opt to stay in New Glasgow or one of the many bed and breakfasts when we return to the area.

The location is convenient, but I wasn’t quite satisfied with the overall experience. The owner came across as rather unprofessional, and the check-in process was not pleasant. The policies seemed vague and kept changing, with inconsistent statements throughout, which made the stay more frustrating than it should have been.
