Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The Braeside Inn is a lovely historical property. Our host was very gracious, our room was clean, and the Inn was in an excellent and walkable location. The Inn is also very close to the Ferry.
Would suggest offering breakfast at 7 am to Better accommodate the ferry schedule.
Nichts das bad
Das Bad war eine Katastrophe kommen nicht wieder
We chose this because of its close proximity to the PEI ferry. That it turned to be a building with such history was a wonderful bonus. Historic properties are special and worth supporting, preserving and staying in. Also should mention that the opportunity to do a load of laundry was much appreciated.
We didn’t have a lot of time for breakfast but Linda was very accommodating on opening up for breakfast 15 minutes earlier than the usual posted time to allow us to grab a quick bite before heading to the ferry.
Nichts
Das Zimmer zu klein.Nur ein Nachtschränkchen.Ungemütlich.Ging so für eine Nacht. Frühstück geht gar nicht.Dann sollte man es lieber weglassen
Immersa nel verde e vista baia con i cervi nel parcheggio
Good location on edge of Pictou and within easy walking distance to waterfront.Comfortable and clean bedroom and Continental Breakfast.Perfect for our 1 night stay.Friendly owner.
Location
This place is so dated. Felt like we were in the movie "The Shining". The breakfast was underwhelming. Atmosphere was cold and old.
Location
Dated small bathroom, musty smell and the mattress was very uncomfortable.
Quiet, very forthcoming owner, great atmosphere, we felt instantly at home!

Mily personal, utulny hotel
bylo slyset sprchu z vedlejsiho pokoje a i hlasy
L'hôtel est proche de Heritage Quay et du petit centre de Pictou. L'endroit est chaleureux bien que nécessitant une rénovation.
C'est très vieillot, il faut juste y être préparé.
Braeside Country Inn was easy to find, and we loved the quaint feeling of it. Our hostess, Linda, was welcoming, gracious, and professional. Ours was a corner room (Rm. 9) so we had views from two sides, and that was wonderful. We spent 4 enjoyable days here, and it felt like home every time we came back from our daily adventures.
Rien
La décoration est de très mauvais goût et bizarrement. Les lits doubles étaient inconfortables et trop petits en longueur (je mesure 5’4 et mes pieds arrivaient au bout du lit). Mon mari de 6’ avait les pieds dans le vide pour dormir). La salle de bain était propre mais tout étaient trop petit; toilette minuscule avec peu de place pour les jambes à cause du mini lavabo. Salle de bain peinturé rose-bonbon, c’était ridicule. Le déjeuner continental très ordinaire, je voyage beaucoup dans des hôtels et Motels et je n’ai jamais été aussi dessus.
Friendly,staff and people staying there.
You can hear through the walls. It’s an older building so it’s not soundproof.
Home town feel, and the staff was very attentive
Nothing
Sehr zentrale Lage, sehr freundliche Gastgeberin, Parkplatz und Frühstück inklusive.

Sa salle à manger et son séjour commun . Ancienne demeure pleine de charme colonial .
Rien
It is well kept and clean and the staff were very friendly. We had a lovely view of the harbour and it's probably less than a 5 minute walk to the downtown Pictou and the waterfront. Easy check in and check out.
I would of liked a coffee maker or keurig in our room and I would recommend having an ice machine available for the guests. Coffee maker, and ice are available you just need to call the front desk to get some. Breakfast was good, though for a continental breakfast I would of preferred another option for protein besides a boiled egg. The only other thing is the mattress it was rock hard in our room (King bed)
Le personnel est agréable, la literie confortable
Extrêmement déçu en regard des 4 étoiles et du prix payé. C’est une vieille maison à l’insonorisation déficiente. Le bruit de la climatisation de fenêtre est inversement proportionnel à son efficacité. Les chambres et salles de bain ont besoin d’attention (trous dans les murs rebouchés au plâtre, sans ponçage. Pas de ventilation dans la salle de bain). Le petit déjeuner se compose de coupes de yogourt vanille, salade de fruits, et toasts. Le thé est déjà infusé, donc sans choix de parfum ou de degré d’infusion. Ce n’est définitivement pas un 4 étoiles. Très mauvais rapport qualité - prix.
Die Eigentümerin und ihre Familie sind super freundlich und zuvorkommend. Sie geben sich alle Mühe. Das Frühstück ist klein, aber in Ordnung und ausreichend. Das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis passt, vor allem für eine Nacht auf Durchreise.
Das Haus ist in die Jahre gekommen, eine Renovation wäre angebracht. Es wirkt etwas schmuddelig. Das Wasser fliesst teilweise nur etwas stockend. Das Gebäude ist generell ziemlich hellhörig.
The Inn has a historic charm that is increased by it being a family run business. While the rooms and common spaces are not new, they are clean, and we very much enjoyed our stay.
There is no elevator, which was ok for us, but might be difficult for those with accessible needs.
L’auberge est vraiment bien placé par rapport aux petits restos et nous avions vue sur l’eau … mention spéciale à la propreté !! N’hésitez pas à arrêter à Pictou et dormir dans cette chaleureuse auberge !!
I liked everything about this place. Convenient location, wonderful views, great room, tasty breakfast, caring and friendly staff.
There was nothing I didn't like
Sehr nette Gastgeber, prima Frühstück
A lovely, welcoming place.
The location was perfect. The room was clean and the staff was very friendly. Good continental breakfast. Thank you!
The window fly screen was a bit broken but it was ok for a short stay, considering the room price was very cheap.
Quiet location with ocean views. Close to downtown. Hostess very helpful and took time to tell us about the community. Good parking.
Lage Stil des Hotel Sehr freundliches Personal
Frühstück. Wenig Auswahl und überwiegend Süsses. Badezimmer sehr klein
The owner was very busy but still acknowledged I came in. She was running off her feet getting people organized with their slotted room(s) and kept very calm and friendly. The room was really cute for one person. The breakfast in the morning was nicely set up and had great views from the windows. She was selling silk flowers at a great price as well has her book of her immigration to Nova Scotia and how she came about buying this hotel.
The only thing to suggest is to have different curtains to accommodate the space for the A/C (shorter on that side)
Great location
No in room coffee station. Poor service on main level. No one on the main level. Told a time for breakfast but no breakfast as told.
La gentillesse de la propriétaire
Rien de spécial
Beautiful dining area and entry way.
Very small single room
Very quaint accommodations. Such an elegant feel to the whole place. Everything was first class.
Beautiful historical building, lots of character. Nice continental breakfast. Located close to restaurants harbour and boardwalk. Room was very comfortable and everything was clean. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again.
Great location good food for breakfast. Amazing old house located close to the picture beach.
Nothing
Quiet location Friendly owner
Breakfast was quite limited
Great check in; walking distance to everything around town; very happy with non-harbour view onto lovely trees. Perfect strength tea already made and available from a dispenser for breakfast! Everything we needed for a nightstop.
Hotel is a bit dated.
Déjeuner complet! Personnel accueillant!
Wonderful old historic building. The Host was very considerate and made sure we were located at the opposite end from a large wedding party. The breakfast was very good.

風光明媚で閑静な佇まいがとてもきにいりました。

freundliches Personal gute Lage ein ansprechendes Frühstück
Lautes Zimmer, irgendwelche Klimaanlagen laufen laut auch Nachts. Der Kühlschrank ist nicht Hotelstandard und laut. wir mussten den Kühlschrank Nachts ausschalten zu wenig Ablagen im Badezimmer. Badezimmer winzig klein
Angenehm großes Zimmer mit Blick aufs Wasser. Alles sauber. Das Hotel ist auf einer Anhöhe gelegen, alt, gepflegt und mit Charakter, sehr gut geführt
Das Frühstück war continental und nicht gut.
Good

Très bonne literie. Bonne situation.
Salle de bain très petite
Nous sommes restés au Breaside Country Inn avec ma famille de France. La bâtisse a un charme historique exceptionnel ! Le salon et la salle à manger sont décorés avec soin, les meubles sont de qualité et en harmonie avec cette belle résidence historique. Notre chambre était très jolie, bien décorée, et très propre. Les lits sont confortables et toute ma famille a très bien dormi. Les petits déjeuners offrait des choix variés et de qualité, de quoi satisfaire l'appétit et les goûts de tout le monde ! Le service était très chaleureux, avec conseils personnalisés pour les activités et restaurants à Pictou. Et une belle surprise en soirée : on a croisé une biche et son petit faon dans le jardin de l'hotel, les enfants étaient ravis ! Merci beaucoup à Linda et sa famille de nous avoir si merveilleusement accueilli !

The owner was very helpful
Breakfast was very basic. Bathroom small but clean and they did explain it was small. TV very complicated. Staff were very friendly! Location was very good.
Bathroom, breakfast and the building needs a little freshening up.
The room was super cute and perfect size for 1 person. The Inn was beautiful. Linda was really friendly and helpful. She checked to make sure I knew I had booked the smaller room (its a little cheaper than the standard queen). I was very happy with the room. No harbour view from the smaller rooms but the property has a beautiful wooden deck out front that guests can sit on and watch the harbour. Continental breakfast in the morning. A great stay. I love the old historic properties.
Very cozy and clean B&B place in a historical building, the host Linda is very nice.
L'emplacement
Salle de bain exiguë et à rafraichir
Beautiful view
Stairs
Beautiful building & rooms. Well maintained. Only issue was that our room was on 3rd floor and no elevator. Would definitely recommend it though & would stay there again.
Linda met us at the door and proceeded to give us recommendations for restaurants prior to showing us the property and our bedroom. The bedroom was fairly large with a very comfortable bed. Breakfast was continental style and Linda was there to make sure that anything we needed was provided to us.
Nothing
Small desk could have had a lamp to use as needed to keep a larger light on to work when my wife was sleeping.
Das Hotel lieg in der Stadt, jedoch sehr Ruhig am Hafen. Das Historische Hotel aus dem Jahre 1938 ist ein Charmates Haus, dem man die Geschichte und die Jahre ansehen kann. Das gesamte Haus ist im alten Stiel eingerichtet. Man meint, die Zeit ist stehen geblieben. Sauberes Zimmer Sehr gutes Frühstück Nette Inhaberin
Linda was a very gracious and attentive host, a lovely hotel.
Très bon accueil, avec des conseils sur les environs de l'hôtel. Hôte très réactif lors des contacts par mail. Bed and breakfast dans une vieille demeure qui a du charme. Chambre très confortable avec une petite salle de bain ( produits de toilette à disposition). Petit déjeuner classique.
Very nice breakfast!
Historic building that is a shot walk to the main town.
No elevator.
We were welcomed by Linda ans she provided information regarding restuarants and attractions in the area. The room was large and comfortable. Breakfast was continetal style with lots of selection.
As an older building there is no elevator but the site informs you of this before you book
It was a lovely place with friendly hosts and convenient locations.
Property was clean and inviting!
Clean, and classic decoration that matches the history of the property. The host was very nice and kind, she explained the history of the city and shared her experience as the host of the hotel.
Nothing major.
A beautiful historic property that has been well kept up. Very comfortable and easy to find. Lovely continental breakfast in a beautiful setting.
It was very clean and Linda was very welcoming and informative. Even opened the breakfast a little early for us to make the ferry!!
If I had to say anything, the bed was a little hard for me.
Ideally situated to catch the PEI ferry. Breakfast was good.
The room was on the third floor with a view over the harbour. Well presented and clean but a little dated, as expected. The hotel is on a hillside a little outside the main shopping area so you get great views. There was a continental breakfast included in the price with a selection of breads, cereals, water melon and the usual tea coffee and juice
The dining room was rather dark and dated but that was the period of the property and that was how it was sold.
Die Betreiber sind sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Einfaches Boutique Hotel, sauber und gut in Schuss gehalten. Das Haus erzählt Geschichte…
.
Le garçon de l'accueil a fait l'effort de me parler en français et a porté ma grosse valise à l'étage. Le wifi était correct.
Cet hôtel affiche 4 étoiles alors qu'il est du niveau d'un motel 2 étoiles ordinaire. Le confort n'est pas du tout à la hauteur du prix. Le lit craque à chaque mouvement, on entend très bien les ronflements de son voisin, la salle de bain est d'un confort minimal, pas même un éclairage au dessus du lavabo... Quant au petit déjeuner, le café est transparent, les croissants coupés en 2 mais ça tombe bien, on n'a absolument pas envie d'en manger un entier après l'avoir goûté... J'ai payé trop cher pour accepter des petits désagréments.
We loved this characterful old inn that was oozing with history. The room was spacious and the bed comfortable.
The breakfast was very basic, not very good quality.
Salle à manger et salon majestueux. Le service en français par Oscar. La gentillesse du personnel
La chambre: -salle de bain exigüe -soirée venteuse : l'air pénétrait à travers l'appareil à air climatisé
This property is located on high ground with great views over the ocean. It is literally on the edge of the town with an easy 5 minute walk into town and the waterfront. The owners are very welcoming and informative. Although the management offers laundry facilities, we walked into town to the very clean and efficient public launderette. There are several good restaurants on the waterfront and without the need to drive to them there is the opportunity to admire the ocean view whilst sipping wine.
Nothing.
Clean, comfy, convenient and great view of the ocean
Nothing.
Je suis arrivée tard et la propriétaire a pris le temps de m’attendre. Elle rend l’établissement chaleureux, bon déjeuner et possibilité de faire son lavage!
Petite douche et salle de bain
The owner was beautiful, the Country Inn was comfortable, clean and easy to get to. The Breakfast was continental and lovely.
Very clean, wonderful and historical all at the same time.
Views were nice. Continental breakfast was a bonus.
Location and service
Very good room, bed and breakfast. lovely old fashion service. get away from the typical hotels and stay here. wonderful sitting room. very quite location.
Sfeervol pand, goede gastvrouw, relaxte overnachting.
Badkamers zijn beperkt qua grootte, wel schoon en comfortabel.
It was a continental breakfast It was loaded with healthy foods and was regularly filled and cleaned The rooms were clean and quiet The staff was very friendly
I would have liked if they offered dinner in the dining room
Nice view of the harbour, clean friendly, good breakfast section( continental)
Some minor repairs to do, very small bathroom. Slightly over priced.
L’emplacement est bien, facile d’accès et près de tout. Le personnel était super gentil et bon petit déjeuner
Le matelas est du pour être changer, les oreillers en plumes étaient molles.
Unterkunft mit einem ganz besonderen Charme - wir haben mit unseren Kindern dort übernachtet und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
Location was great. Within walking distance of restaurants , great view of the government dock and other ships, including the Hector.
Seat cushions on WingBack chairs in the lounge need replacing.
We could not understand why if the Ferry leaves at 8:30 why their Breakfast did not start until 7:30. That was cutting it close so we left without breakfast. I know it's an old home. But no elevator was a challenge for my husband as it was 4 flights of stairs to go up 2 floors. Neighbors dog out back woke us up 2 times. We like sleeping with windows open by the ocean but this was a big mistake.
Earlier breakfast time. MUCH better TV system. Warn people about the "stairs" and the dog barking.
Owner was very kind and attentive. On-site laundry. Entire property and room very clean. Nice location near the harbor, room with harbor view. Walking distance to several restaurants on/near the water. Small downtown near the water. Several historic homes. Breakfast continental, nice selection but minimal protein sources. Room was adequate, nicely appointed. Liked the period decor of this historic inn. Appreciated having a fridge in the room. Nice to have a key to the front door. Property secured after hours, only accessible with a key provided by the owner. Liked learning about the history of the inn and the journey of the current owners.
Would have liked more protein options at breakfast, maybe cheese or a slice of luncheon meat. Missed having a coffee maker and microwave in the room, but imaging these were omitted due to space and wanting to keep rooms tidy. Microwave was available in the shared parlor downstairs.
Nice location, very close to the ferry, the host was also extremely friendly. The room is very good, and I got a bathtub to relax in.
Nothing, All is good
Breakfast was great and ready early as we had an early ferry. Thanks.
Linda, the owner made you feel so comfortable. The room gad a very homey feel. The breakfast room was elegant.
All was great!
Inn is run-down and a little grimy. Furniture, carpets, etc. not clean. Breakfast was almost non-existent. Understaffed. Would not recommend.
Good location, historical
Took a long time to get hot water in the shower…hate the waste but it clearly states that in the info…the shower was worth the wait!
Freindly staff, good breakfast and great location!
This is a lovely location close to town, rooms clean.
Somewhat musty smelling-very faded and lacking charm in rooms.
Nice hotel and Linda, the host, is amazing.
Friendly staff, good location by the water, walking distance to many restaurants and shops.
Mattress was a bit firm.
Very good Breakfast to start the day. Friendly and accommodating staff
