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.

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.

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.

Lovely building, room, nice amenities.

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.

We are all over 60 and cannot eat massive breakfasts. It would have been more likely that we would have had breakfast with you if there had been a smaller, healthy option. As it was we went to the Bean counter. The drinks on the patio was a lovely touch and your staff couldn't have been more accomodating.

The concierge was kind and took our bags up the stairs. My husband has a back condition and one knee that will have to be replaced. We were on the 3rd floor. All is well that ends well, but I probably should have mentioned it.

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.

Honestly can't think of anything to improve!

Merrill House was a truly beautiful, romantic and unique stay. Breakfast was included in one of our nights and this is no "continental buffet" - it's a large delectable meal in their petite but beautiful restaurant. The decor in the rooms and especially throughout the house was absolutely stunning - lots to look at and photograph! When we asked last minute to have dinner the second night, their restaurant was full so they set up an impromptu dining room in the salon for some guests and visitors - it was a special and intimate meal where we all got to chatting over our Countylicious suppers. The staff were friendly and extremely helpful - they refrigerated my pumped milk every time. We also enjoyed the VR experience games and the shops nearby.

The wifi was very off and on and unreliable. They did everything they could to help us out, and we had data (but we wanted to watch a movie on the tv).

Wonderful place for rest. We chose Merril House to celebrate my husband's birthday and have not regretted it for a second. Beautiful, clean, intimate, amazing team of staff. Dining was on par with restaurants on the Champs Elysees in Paris. Special thanks to concierge Sean, Dinner server Susan and Breakfast server Joselyne. Always smiling, attentive, ready to help at any request made our stay unforgettable. We will be happy to return and recommend to our children.

Everything about this property is stunning. The location is prime as it’s about a two minute walk to the Main Street in Picton. Every room is designed to perfection and the restaurant is a must! The manager went above and beyond to make our stay memorable both times we visited. Will definitely be back!

Location was very convenient as it was close to downtown Picton and the facility has ample parking. Room was comfortable and the dinner was very good.

Found bathrooms small. I would have enjoyed a brief history of the house and its background instead of reading a comic book in the room.

Although I arrived hours earlier than my check in time, I was greeted by coffee in the backyard and a free upgrade to the owner’s suite as my room was not yet cleaned. What a wonderful way to start my stay. The staff I encountered were all very friendly and professional and clearly enjoyed their jobs. Breakfast was also of very high quality,equal to a fine restaurant. My room was a wonderful sensory experience from the ornate wallpaper and antiques to the wall hangings.I felt like I was staying in a museum.The documentation of the family history of Merrill House also added to the intrigue of the hotel.

Prices for wine from the fridge were lacking and would have been helpful.
