Great staff, really welcoming and helpful. Lovely decor, good colour scheme and flooring and stylish rooms. Fab shower in one of our rooms and the rustic stone tiling in both the shower rooms was a great touch. Good linen and all the little touches that make you feel you're on holiday. The menu was exciting with some imaginative dishes, I... More

This is simply one of the best pub restaurants I have ever been. The service is excellent. Staff very friendly and always willing to help. Relaxing atmosphere makes you to want to go back. In fact have been traveling in the area on business and have been visiting the pub frequently. Very good variety of food and reasonably priced. Huge... More

Greeted warmly by the staff who seem like a family & a lovely young man called Andrew or Aidan?! Every single need was tended to and nothing ceased to delight us. First time in this quaint hotel and certainly won't be the last! Thankyou to Andrew? And the team for making our trip everso special.

I had a one night stay in the Merlin and I have to say it was excellent value for money and I would not hesitate in using them again. The rooms where very clean and of an excellent specification. Their service in particular from Kimberley (manager) was outstanding. When we had any problems at all she was on hand to... More

Having decided to spend Easter Sunday away we looked on the Innkeepers lodge web site, a chain we are familiar with. The Merlin came up at £45 per night with breakfast and being only 45 miles from home was perfect for a one night stay. We arrived around 2-30pm, the building is quite imposing set on the side of the... More
