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

Comfortable, charming, and spotless room. Unfortunately, the restaurant is closed, and the front desk is not staffed after 7PM, so it’s been a rather odd experience. The heating system apparently isn’t working properly, so suite 202 is a bit uncomfortable on this cold night. This is our third stay at Merrill House…not quite up to the previous standards.
