“I look forward to returning for a longer stay.”
The facilities were lovely, the decor was beautiful, the rooms were thoughtfully put together, and the passport for local wineries was a great add on as were the brownies and drinks in our room. The location was perfect and the staff were extremely helpful and kind.

“It was adequate, but not my taste. I would have preferred a Hilton Hotel.”

Beautiful hotel that exceeded our expectations. Service was friendly, the room was comfortable and warm, and the location was great. We also really enjoyed the weekend breakfast. We had a car to explore the local area but we were also able to walk to bars, restaurants and shops in Picton. I wouldn’t hesitate to return.

Easy and accessible hotel with thoughtful room amenities - from snacks to towel heaters and robes. Staff were really friendly. I also got the vibe that this was a place made by the county rather than some one from outside profiting off the county, which is important to me.

“A jewellery box of Picton”
The hotel is a hidden gem..it is as like a jewlery box - nice from outside and outstanding inside. An eclectic style of interiors, an endless storytelling which goes through the whole property and beyond, great selection of wine and good food. I booked for one night and extended for the second one. Each room has got its own style. The team is attentive to your needs and responsive. You can really feel the love and passion invested into the hotel. That s a boutique hotel. The quitness of surrounding nature and squirrels instead of noisy cars of the big cities. Loved it.

“Amazing stay near sandbanks”
Amazing place to spend a few days. The house is beautiful and staff so welcoming. We had local sodas and cookies as a welcome gift. Walkable distance to the cute village of picton. Highlight: they give passports to be used at local wineries of Prince Edward County. It includes multiple tastings to many wineries where we were welcomed to taste local wined for free. It was really anice add on to our trip. Only 15 minutes from Sandbank park. I would absolutely recommend.

“Luxurious stay in period house”
Our stay at Merrill House was very comfortable, with a bed and pillows that let you sink into relaxation and sweet dreams. The room we stayed in 'The Marchioness of of Lorne' was on the ground floor facing the front. It was large and the bathroom was great. Such a beautiful hotel with lots of character and great staff. Breakfast was also very satisfying. Fantastic location, easy walk to town. I think the hotel was full but during the day it was quiet and hardly saw any other guests.

“Clean hotel but room for improvement.”
I selected this hotel because it was highly rated and I chose an upgraded room. The staff were very friendly, the room was large, the bed was comfortable and the air conditioning worked very well. But overall I was disappointed. The breakfast was the highlight of our stay.

“10+++++”
Absolutely everything- we had a wonderful stay, everything was just perfect. Merrill House is a charming boutique hotel and we loved every minute. Room 301 on the top floor (front) was perfect and so quiet. The staff were amazing and so, so friendly and helpful. Everything was absolutely immaculate and the ‘gourmet’ breakfasts were definitely that! Would highly recommend a stay there!
