Let's start off with the good - the hosts were charming, chatty, friendly. They also allowed us to bring our large dog and keep him in the room. Pictou doesn't look like it's doing too well. Half the businesses are boarded up and the waterfront is of mediocre interest. I don't know how the B&B manages to stay in business.... More

We stayed in the Willow House Inn for one night on our way from Nova Scotia to New Brunswick. You would not find better hosts than Jamie and Debbie and their home is delightful. We enjoyed an hour or 2 having a drink and relaxing in the loungeroom in the evening talking to them and other travellers that were staying... More

You couldn't ask for friendlier hosts than Debby and Jamie. They have their work cut out in keeping an elderly home in top shape but their energies have paid off. Jamie is a very good icebreaker and takes the trouble to introduce the guests to each other while still not intruding on their privacy. I felt they both captured the... More

Excellent value offered by charming, attentive hosts. Well kept 1840 mansion. The full, hot breakfast was delicious and filling. We lucked out being in Pictou for the Sept 15th anniversary of the landing of the historic ship Hector that brought 200 intrepid Scots to a new life in America in 1773. Entertainment, exhibits, the works! A replica of the ship... More

We stayed at the Willow House Inn recently and what a delight! Our room was spacious, very clean and the bed very comfortable. The owners are warm, friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was delicious with homemade jams, biscuits and fritatta. It's the place to stay if you are going to Pictou More

The owners are wonderfully hospitable people. Very kind, friendly and inviting. Sadly the place is run down and in desperate need of an overhaul. Beds are as old as the building, which has a peculiar odour. Everything is out of date. Not highly recommended. But great breakfast with freshly made treats and homemade jam. The highlight. More

I was contemplating writing this review because the owners were very nice however I felt like I was misled by the nice reviews that I needed to share my experience so others will think twice before staying here. We stayed here for one night and I could not believe the state of these rooms. I was scared to sleep that... More

We stayed at Willow House this past spring and here's the review I typed up but didn't post 'til now. Well....I have to say that whoever wrote the description for this B&B should start composing fiction novels...And, the reviewers must have pretty low expectations for B&Bs The price was good...but this is the OFF season, and we have had some...

We stayed on the 3rd floor which was advertised as a 2-bedroom suite as there were 2 of us and we wanted our own room. It was 2 bedrooms and the small tiny bath which you needed to be careful not to hit your head on the ceiling. No elevator so you do have to climb 3 flights of stairs... More
