We loved our stay at The Scotsman. The staff were brilliant—so helpful and welcoming. The hotel is stunning and feels truly opulent, with every detail making us feel pampered. It’s just a short walk to the main street, but far enough away to feel peaceful and private. Perfect mix of convenience and escape. An exceptional stay—we’ll definitely be back.

Absolutely beautiful. One of the most amazing and enjoyable accommodations I have ever stayed at and experienced. Everything was perfect. The staff’s professionalism is the epitome of what the hospitality industry should aspire to. They have set the bar very high for us after our experience. The facility is so beautifully designed and curated. The breakfasts served were absolutely delicious. Staying here was a complete experience.

This hotel is a piece of art. I also want to compliment the staff who made me feel like a princess. They took the time to welcome us, give a great tour of the house and grounds and really exceeded all expectations. The design of the house and rooms is truly breathtaking. Please treat yourself to a weekend getaway at this absolutely stunning B&B.

Small, tight quarters with the inn staff. Not a hotel more of bed and breakfast. When you purchase the room on Expedia they do not list proper discription so the inn can decide where they want to put you. My room was maybe 300 square feet and they said it was one of the larger rooms.

The Scotsman is a true gem! With just 6 suites, you’ll feel right at home. The staff was EXCELLENT, providing an amazing breakfast and one-on-one assistance all day. The decor is beautiful and the outdoor area is so comfortable you won’t want to leave! It isn’t cheap but you certainly get what you pay for here. Highly recommend!!

The epitome of beauty, elegance, luxury and romance! Enjoyed a lovely stay with my wife for our anniversary here and we enjoyed every minute. We were in awe from the moment we walked in, the attention to detail regarding decor and the warm welcome from staff made us feel at home. We loved our stay and cannot wait to return!

The property is listed as a hotel but it is more of a bed and breakfast. The property has only 6 rooms. On the first night I enjoyed my room it was spacious but for the remaining stay, I was in a very very small room. The price for the hotel is pretty expensive for the amenities and size of the room. The property does not offer gym or exercise area, no bar or in room dinning. They don’t have bikes to use for the area. I misplaced my key and I had to wake up the inn keeper to open my door. The inn keeper had control of the Ac in my room and adjusted to their preferences without us knowing and it was very hot for us. They fixed it but it was unusual to have so much interaction with their staff. In the description and pictures they show a bar but the bar is bottle service only with no bartender. It’s a good looking place in a good location but I am not accustomed to such close quarters with the staff of the hotel and in the hotel room.

Delightful individual luxury accommodation

Possibly the most fabulous small hotel I have ever stayed at anywhere ok the planet. Whole property is truly focused on customer comfort Everything about the property is indulgent and fabulous - the staff absolutely delightful If you want to stay somewhere that had only 6 beautiful rooms in a location that is full of upmarket individual shops and small bistros then Then Scotsman at Niiagara on the lake is your dream destination - loved every moment there

This is a spectacular property! Every single detail of this hotel was magical from the five star service, the stunning decor and design, beautiful bedding, charming details on everything! I cannot say enough about what a wonderful time we had. The hotel helped us book a private wine tour, we were so close to the shops, and walked to dinner! The breakfast on the veranda in the morning was also so delicious! We will most definitely be back.

You must stay at this gorgeously renovated "hotel"

My boyfriend and I stayed at The Scotsman for a quick overnight getaway. We were absolutely blown away from start to finish: from being greeted with sparkling wine, to the kindness of the waitstaff (specifically the hostess and manager), and to the exquisite touches in all of the rooms. It is evident how much care the owners took when remodeling this gorgeous property. When leaving, my boyfriend and I were only half joking when we assured the manager that we will be back for the pancakes alone (breakfast is complimentary)! Thank you for making our stay so special; we can't wait for our next trip.
