Beautiful Historic refurbished building. Doug the Innkeeper was very accommodating and shared the history with us on the building. Location is right on the water and a short walk to dining options. Great stop over place if you are catching the ferry from Caribou. Would not hesitate to recommend Customs house to anyone!!

An impressive looking stone building. The room was large, bright and clean and included a mini-fridge and Keriug coffee maker with plenty of pods. The location is terrific, near the quiet end of the walkable waterfront area. We had noted in other reviews that breakfast was not currently offered so brought along some instant oatmeal and spoons so we could enjoy “slow mornings” with coffee in the room during our 2 night stay. When researching were to stay it appeared that accessible accommodations in Pictou are minimal. We chose an accessible room presented on Expedia (booking engine linked Custom House Inn website) it appears that information was not transmitted to the innkeepers and were assigned a 2nd floor room. However, upon talking to another couple who arrive for the contactless check-in about the same time they were assigned the 1st floor accessible room, they were agreeable to make a switch, so we made a call to the innkeepers and solved our problem. (Thanks so much to that couple for being so accommodating!). If you are looking for a truly accessible room, be aware that the toilet is extremely low and the grab bars are not placed to allow for leverage when rising. Also be sure to email and advise the Inn directly of need for 1st floor accessible room. We did miss the chatting with others and the innkeepers that make the Bed and Breakfast experience but all in all would recommend the Custom House Inn for being exceptionally clean, comfortable and the location.

Wonderful stay in Pictou
Beautiful building in wonderful location. Able to easily access downtown Pictou and its wonderful harbour area. Had to walk up to the second floor so speak to the owner if you have any accessibility issues. Free and easy parking on site.
