    Merrill House is a boutique hotel, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you want to stay. I felt like was staying at someone’s home! The staff are exceptional. Friendly, funny and charming. We are definitely returning for longer this time. Our room was clean, the assortment of robes was a bonus. The bed quite comfortable. We also had dinner at Merrill House and it was impeccable. They were great accommodating my dietary restrictions.

    Honestly can't think of anything to improve!

    Service throughout the whole weekend was gracious, thoughtful, and warm. The breakfasts we had were gourmet fantastic! We found the accommodations and decor were absolutely delightful and charming. Especially appreciated the inclusion of Indigenous history from the area. The whole experience was amazing. Appreciated the location within walking distance to tremendous restaurants.

    There could be more outdoor seating made available and the bed was very soft and not comfortable for our cranky backs.

    The building itself is beautiful and nicely appointed. The staff were wonderful and very helpful.

    There is almost no negatives to our stay but if you had to press me I would say: The aircon was on full blast in the sitting rooms making them a bit uncomfortable to sit in. We turned it down a few times but it was always reset. A few more seating areas outside would have been good; the three there were good but only one was comfy (one was stone seats and the other high chairs against barrels). Again these were minor compared to the overall great experience we had.

    Location in Picton and the House itself are amazing - so much local history and decor was impressive. Book shelves and historical items were so interesting. Really liked the small "gift" shop with eclectic items and the cookies at bedtime were a nice touch. Great room. Fantastic bathroom and shower head was superb! Wish we could have spent more time there.

    We paid $45 for early check in and did our check-in online to speed up the process as we had limited time to get ready and quickly leave for a wedding. When we arrived, the woman at reception was on the phone in the back room (about napkins?) and did not acknowledge us for a good 10 minutes or so despite the door being open. Once she finally got off the phone, it still took another 10 or so minutes to finally get the keys. While Merrill House is a lovely place, the cost seemed exceptionally high for Picton.

    Lovely building, room, nice amenities.
