Disappointing!
September 30, 2014

Hotel is tired and badly needing improvements. Should not be included in Unique Country Inns Grouping as it does a disservice to the other outstanding properties in this listing.

Good value in Pictou
September 05, 2014

Stayed here one night then returned a few nights later. It's old but a good value. Have dinner down on the water near the tall ship. Only $ 21 for a lobster dinner and it was good.

It may have been out of their control....

The room was comfortable, the continental breakfast was good....loved the freshly baked bread. This place had the feel of a bed and breakfast and we loved the fact that the windows opened...dislike the fact we had to climb stairs to our room... We thought when we opened the windows we would get the smell of salt air! But there was some really strong sewage odor coming from outside the... more

Stayed for a wedding August 9th, 2014
August 16, 2014

We were attending a wedding at Pictou Lodge. Arrived at Braeside and was pleasantly surprised. Older hotel with all the extra's. Hotel was something you would read about in a novel. Unique. The staff made our stay pleasant and answered any questions we had. Made our stay very comfortable. Only thing was no elevator.

Amazingly Accomodating!
July 06, 2014

The staff were very accommodating, and very friendly. We were going to be getting in late at night, and they didn't have 24hr front desk staff, but they made sure everything would work out for us, and that we'd still have access. Very unique place to stay, enjoyed it.

Nice with old style charm
October 13, 2013

This Inn has nice old style charm in the dining room and downstairs sitting room, but the rooms and bathrooms are very old style. The bathroom was almost to the point of unacceptalbe, no plug ins for a razor or hair appliances. In my opinion it was more like a room that should have been $60.00 and being charged over $100.00. I was not impressed at all, not even a coffee maker in my room. The... more
