Merlin Court is a friendly, fun and welcoming place to stay. the staff (espesh Mike) were so lovely and friendly. the Master Room was a delight to stay in, very spacious, with lovely pictures and beautiful high ceilings. absolutely loved it, and would recommend it to anyone wanting a short break!

Never have i met such a friendly pair as greeted me and my family here. The rooms are of an ample size, clean and tidy, with beautifully comfortable... More
