The room was modest and tastefully decorated. The building is old, with character & spirit. The owners couldn't have been friendlier & were very welcoming. Overall an enjoyable stay for a good price. Sarah & Matt

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!

Unlike the ungracious & somewhat curmudgeonly reviews of some on this site I enjoyed my brief overnight stay - even Mike's cheerfulness over breakfast! The hotel is quiet & privacy pretty good for a B&B. I needed a reality check after some very tedious business locally and was referred there. One of the kids staying at the Merlin showed me... More

First impressions are usually right and this is a run down hotel with what looks like scaffolding on the front of the building (or is that there just holding the buidling up?). Don't be fooled by the photos on the website either, once inside you will see what a good camera angle can do. Dark & dingy, wouldn't want to... More

I stayed at the Merlin Court Hotel for 2 nights with my 10 year old daughter and 13 year old son. The hotel is a stunning victorian building in a great location. The walk down to town has wonderful views of the sea and the hotel is a 5 minute walk from the entrance to the tunnel beaches. We ate... More

I can honestly say that once we were inside the hotel we knew we had made the right choice. As with the other reviews we have read, the outside of... More

Although the outside of the hotel could use some refurbishments, any worries this may stir will soon be put to bed once you step inside to a warm greeting from your hosts. 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
