Loved the comfiness and homeyness of this inn. The service was great and felt very safe. Loved the touch of the sauna outside as well. I just wish there was a front entrance instead of walking all the way to the back everytime. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay!

We had an amazing stay. We can’t say enough about our experience. The only thing of note was the weight of the duvet in our room. We were so hot. That said, the bed was like sleeping on a cloud. 10/10 would recommend staying here.

My partner and I stayed here for 2 nights (Wed-Fri) and it was lovely. We got a free upgrade to a larger room which was a very welcome surprise. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was well appointed with soaps and fluffy towels. The decor of the room and the whole property was a beautiful and eclectic mix of traditional and bold modern design. I loved it! The staff were all very knowledgeable of the area and helpful. We had breakfast there as well and it was delicious! Highly recommend. The location is perfect - you can walk over to main street Picton in just a few minutes. I would definitely stay Merril House again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Merrill House was superb from start to finish. I called ahead to ask if they could store two of my coolers in their freezer(a truly over the top request) and it was accommodated without hesitation. They even printed my Sandbanks parking pass for me. The house itself is gorgeous and unique. Our Dreaming suite was beautifully appointed, and the bathroom had lovely amenities. They even scented our pillows at night after giving us a choice of a variety of scents. The parking was fantastic and the property was large—it felt like we were in a park. Best of all, we were within walking distance of downtown Picton. We were minutes away from bistros and top notch restaurants. I highly recommend The Royal for dinner and Vic Social for breakfast. All in all, if you want the perfect place to stay while enjoying the County, Merrill House is it.

Overall a terrific property. Very clean, very cool vibe and great location to walk the Main Street. The room was smaller but had everything we needed. Loved the decor (we were in gothic room) and the soap/lotions in the bathroom. We did not eat there but the restaurant looked great. Parking was super easy. My only reason for not giving it 5 stars is the internet and TV channel selection is not good. I will say, internet IS spotty in the entire PEC area but the wifi at the hotel is really not existent. Then there was only about 4 channels we could get on the TV. That really should be improved - a decent selection of TV channels should be fairly standard at all boutique hotels.

Had a great stay Rooms are clean and wonderful Staff are friendly however being a slower time Restaurant was not open the times we were there and breakfast did not include the price ever? Only major problem was the internet which they they acknowledged but it really needs to be resolved in this day and age. Especially because the TVs are only used with a fire stick provided but without proper Internet never worked . Fire pit was not allowed to be used and I would suggest more comfortable seats in the garden as it’s beautiful . Otherwise a lovely unique hotel! Make sure to ask For main floor if stairs do not work for you.

Our stay at Merrill house was lovely. The staff are friendly and very helpful. There is good parking at the back of the inn. We had a smaller room and bed was slightly soft for our liking, but we slept well. We had a delicious dinner in the dining room and I recommend if you are staying there to book at least one night for dinner. There is a lovely bar downstairs where residence of the Inn can have a drink before dinner. Good choice of wines and spirits. Overall, a wonderful stay
