We loved our stay at the Custom House. Our room upstairs was so spacious and Clean! I was surprised to find it had more electrical outlets than some hotels. The bathroom and tub were clean and looked new. We were greeted upon our arrival which was very nice. We enjoyed being able to walk around town to the shops and restaurants. EXCELLENT

We stayed here before and were very satisfied with the location and the town of Pictou. Thanks for opening that space and spending time with us. We had a wonderful time. Look forward to next time. : )

This is an old building that has been wonderfully converted to a small B&B. It is beautifully done, very clean and comfortable. It is in walking distance of the waterfront with options for meals, even in the shoulder season. It is an interesting place to stay and a nice change of pace from a big hotel.

Good location on the waterfront. I was a little wary when no one was there to greet us, but rooms were quiet and secure. Easy walk to a couple of restaurants.

Pillows need updating, and need more of them. Roomy bathroom, but there’s no place to set down toiletries. Please put in a shelf. Mattress is not comfy. Innkeeper was not on site, the key was in an envelope taped to his door. Neat old historic building.

Really appreciated that they left a key for us, as we arrived after the front desk was closed. Beautiful room, mostly very clean, but needed a bit of dusting around the desk, where there was both a dust clump and a rather annoyed spider.

Beautiful heritage building, wonderful bed, close to everything and right across from the ocean. Hope to stay there again. There are stairs to the top floor, so if you can’t do stairs let them know you need a room on the main floor. I hope to stay here again.
