The Lionstone Inn is a very affordable location, just a minute off the highway, and close to Sobeys and a Tim Horton's. It's about a 15 minute trek to walk downtown from the Inn. The rooms are small but function. Not a lot a frills to be found here, but if your looking for an inexpensive place that has comfy... More

We stayed here August 2011. This is a wonderful place to stay. It is comprised of both a motel and cottage sections. We stayed in two cottages while there. Actually we ended up on their doorstep suddenly when our other prior accommodation went south. Dennis was gracious and kind, he booked us into one of the older cottages and then... More

Thanks so much for the generous words. You were both a pleasure to have as guests and are welcome here anytime. The baked goods were awesome by the way. Thanks from all the staff for that. More

I found this little motel about 3 years ago and have used it whenever I'm in Pictou. This place is excellent value for your dollar with tastefully decorated rooms and those little extras you'd expect in higher priced accommodations. The ;location is excellent, an easy stroll from the supermarket and morning coffee. Pictou itself is a delightful little town, with... More

Charm is the definitive word to describe The Lionstone Inn in Pictou. With attention to the little details rarely found in most small motels, the only thing to outshine the charm, is the cleanliness and friendliness of the staff. The location couldn't be more convenient to all the "must do's" when visiting the northern part of the province: the town... More

The Lionstone is a nice and small motel which is very easy to find. Upon entering the town of Pictou it is hard to miss it, just after the round about. Reception is friendly and the rooms are spotlessly clean. The price charged is reasonable. The motel is in walking distance from the town center. Although being very close to... More

Thank you so much for the kind words. We have spent considerable time and effort over the past few years, having purchased the property four years ago, upgrading and repairing our little motel, and are always pleased when travellers recognize the value for the dollar and notice how much effort everyone puts in to make your stay as memorable as...

My family was travelling through Pictou and we stayed at the Lionstone Inn for two days. We really enjoyed the area and this wonderful Inn. The owners were really great and as friendly as anyone I have ever met. The rooms were very clean and the property is well kept. I'll definitely stay here again!

I cannot say enough about this place. We were scheduled to stay at another establishment in town however when we opened the door to our room our bed was unmade and there was a rather odd smell to the room. We immediately checked out and found the Lionstone Inn and it was piece of heaven. The rooms were cozy and... More

The owners of the Lionstone Inn are very friendly and are there when you need help. The outside property is well kept and its beautiful setting. Staff is friendly and keeps well cleaned rooms. Very pleased with the motel.

Thanks for kind words and noticing how hard our staff work to keep our rooms spotless--something we regard as of utmost importance, especially to our budget conscious customers who sometimes worry that quality suffers. Our goal is to give everyone a clean, quiet and comfortable place to stay and although we might miss the mark sometimes, it appears as though... More

We'd been travelling across Canada and discovered a hidden gem in Pictou County, Nova Scotia. The Lionstone Inn. Having stayed at a number of establishments during our travels, we encountered a variety of oddities with some places we stayed. Staying at the Lionstone was a breath of fresh air. We were so tired from the previous night's location that was... More
