What Our Guests Are Saying
10/10 Excellent
"We really appreciated our stay at the Customs House Inn. The room was exactly as shown in pictures, the bed was extremely comfortable and I particularly enjoyed the bathtub! The Inn is close to all amenities and yet very quiet. The inn keeper Doug was really available and kind. Highly recommend!!"

“Tracing our family heritage to the earliest days of the Pictou settlement, our choice to stay in the Customs House became a high light of our two week visit to N.S. We loved the rich history of the facility and surrounding community, that rightfully celebrates this 250-year heritage. The Customs House offers easy access to local museums, restaurants, shops and scenic attractions. Each of these contributed to a most enjoyable visit that met and exceeded our most optimistic expectations.”
