We had a great experience staying at the Braeside Country Inn. It’s a charming century old property which is really well maintained and very clean. Great views of the bay from our room and the dining room. The host is friendly and thoughtful. The hot water is a little slow, but it’s endless.

I was there for a business trip and was very satisfied with the location I picked kind of randomly as I have never been to Nova Scotia in the past. I haven’t slept so well for a while! Sleeping on top of the mountain surrounded by trees and wilderness is so soothing for your mind! The hotel itself is a piece of arts with solid wood everywhere. The last but not least is the service provided by Linda the owner/manager attentive to all your needs and requests. I will definitely comeback at my next visit to Nova Scotia. Thanks Linda!

Was a last minute booking and they had one room left. It was so beautiful a setting from driveway on. The owner was a sweetheart and so accommodating. Stayed two nights and was made to feel like family. Will go again. Always they were cleaning and wiping even bedclothes smelled fresh and sanitized. Breakfast was also better than I expected.

Room was clean but quite small and lacked extra plugs for electronic devices. View of the water from the room was very nice. Location was a few minutes walk to restaurants and pier area. Inn is old but well preserved and clean. Breakfast was included in room price and was very tasty. Owners work very hard to insure that you have a good stay.

The service was good, I showed up late and they gave me a family room for the price of a normal room. The breakfast was basic, good for a coffee and muffin. The rooms were clean, but outdated. The building itself is also old. The shower was a horrible experience. Scalding hot and freezing cold, with 30 seconds of warm water, wash quick! Update: this is an old historic hotel, so I understand the old and outdated feel. But I still feel things could be better. The lady works here basically all by herself (cleaning and checking breakfast, doing the front desk, etc.) and she should be commended as she was an excellent host, but unfortunately I cannot rate higher.

Lovely inn, very cute location, a small 5-10 minute walk to the waterfront where there is a good selection of food. The hosts have done an excellent job at displaying not only the history of the building itself, but also about themselves and how they came to own the inn. A nice touch that we loved was the world map with pins where guests had travelled from. We stayed in a smaller room on the top floor and loved the little touches the hosts had made to make each room its own. Each room had different coloured walls with flowers that matched the room colours, which I thought was incredibly cute and clearly showed a love for their inn. The inn itself creaks when you step in certain spots, but that only made it feel more historic, and really sang true to the history of the place. The beds were comfortable, the rooms were incredibly clean, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend the night in Pictou. One thing to note is that there is no elevator, but we did not find any issue bringing our suitcases up the stairs, there is a landing on each flight for you to catch your breath if needed! We will for sure stay here again if we are in the area!

We loved our stay at the the Braeside! Fantastic owners/operators. Continental breakfast was included in the room. Everything in the hotel is spotless and well cared for. The room was comfortable and we were thankful for the air conditioning during a heatwave during our stay. A great option for accommodations if staying in Pictou County. We will be back!

I had an absolutely lovely experience during my stay. Clean room, comfy bed, lots of TV channels. The building is quaint and charming, beautiful decor. The host was friendly and helpful and there were flowers everywhere! Breakfast was simple yet nice and the location is quiet and serene.

My room was clean, cool even without an air conditioner, and had the accommodations I would expect at the price I paid. The only thing that kept it from being five stars was that the entire building smelled extremely musty. Location was exactly where I needed to be to take a ferry from Nova Scotia to Prince Edward Island.

I spent a week in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, a new hotel every night. By far this was my favorite stay, in fact I wish I had been able to stay longer. The most gracious host, beautiful historical building. Not only do I plan on visiting again for longer but I tell everyone about this Inn. And please read the owners book, wonderful story.

Very lovely stay at Braeside inn which has hundred years of history. Lots of interesting history and facts with this inn, the room is a little dated given the history but clean and feels like home. It’s a old house but very well maintained. The host Linda is very friendly and helpful. Very quiet and bed is comfortable too. Great location in Picton, walking distance to waterfront. Lots of nice restaurants nearby, the town even has free concert every night. What a great town. Great continental breakfast! Another super amazing experience is there were a family of deer lives around this property. As we drove in, the deer mama and 3 baby deer were just chilling in the garden of Braeside inn. And they won’t even running away. Waking up in the morning looking outside of the window and the deers were there again, what a relaxing experience.

The photos make it look amazing but we weren't impressed. No lift to rooms which is awful when you have luggage. Breakfast was very basic and very little interaction with the owner. Would not stay again. So much better places than this

Loved this historic building! Great service! Wonderful owner/hostess! Highly recommend! Great view of the water!

This is a wonderful historic Inn which has been updated and well maintained. The common areas are nicely decorated and pleasant. We had a king suite which was very comfortable for our three night stay. The continental breakfast had a nice variety to choose from. The view of the harbour is amazing. We were able to walk to several shops and restaurants on the waterfront. The owner, Linda, was a gracious and helpful hostess. I would definitely recommend this Inn and hope to be able visit again.
