We feel we should be entitled to a partial refund based on the price we paid.
Pros:

Location was great; ambience,

Cons:

Reception OK! Restaurant was not functional, Tv not available for use had to have your own account to sign in for accessing channels, the room was just basic with one chair, no place to put your clothes i.e. chrster drawers, the jacuzzi was not easily accessible and dangerous to enter therefore unsafe for use. Missing light bulbs in bathroom and no bathroom fan without a window.
Very much disappointed with expectations.

Overall, it was clean with friendly staff.
Pros:

Location was good - walkable to places

Cons:

The mattress could have been more firm. Extra blankets would have been ideal to have in the room as well. Black out curtains would be a good thing to put in the room

Pros:

Really cute hotel. Comfortable rooms with a wonderful breakfast
Sparkling water available for guests.

Cons:

While the room was really cute and quirky this unfortunately also meant that some of the furnishings were not the most practical.

Great location and an interesting property but rooms and amenities disappoint.
Pros:

Location was great.

Cons:

Seems like rooms booked through booking services & not booked directly with hotel are very small and outdated.
Washroom barely had space to turn around in and shower faucet fell off and wouldn't turn off.
Breakfast only included for guests that book directly - not with booking services.

Exceptional, beautiful hotel
Pros:

Merrill House is a truly exceptional property. Everything from the curated decor, the individual room styles, even the signature scent - it's all wonderful. We stayed here for one night and could have happy stayed a week or longer. The bathroom was beautiful, the bed was comfortable, the breakfast was nearly too pretty to eat and delicious as well. The location of the house is also fantastic. Everything in Picton is easily walkable and the vineyards around the area are exceptional. Easily the best place we stayed during our two week trip
