The Merlot House is a warm, beautifully decorated home with generous and welcoming hosts. Shirley and Mike are seasoned travellers with lots of interesting stories to share as well as encouraging their guests to share their own experiences. Breakfast was amazing - we didn't need anything more for the day. They catered to a gluten free diet, taking it completely... More

The food was really good-down home quality but with a fanciful flare. The buckle was quite delicious! They are awesome about dietary restrictions but still making the food high quality and interestingly delicious!!! The house itself... More

Our hosts Mike and Shirley, definitely love their home. The small touches of fruit and fresh baked cookies to welcome us are just small examples of the comfort and attention to details that the Merlot House offers. The hosts were accommodating to our requests and Mike's breakfast is one that I have tried to unsuccessfully replicate. He is a cook... More

My friend and I enjoyed our stay here. We had the room with twin beds and everything was clean, comfy and lovely to look at. A very quiet place. The owners are absolutely charming and so helpful. And the breakfast was very, very nice, tasty and beautifully presented. Highly recommend.
