"Lovely, friendly staff who will go out of their way to help you. Nice, clean beds and rooms. Everything you need. Would be nice to have a hairdryer in the room instead of having to ask for one, but this is only a minor inconvenience. We didn't use the bar or have breakfast there as we were visiting relatives near by. Excellent stay."

Meryan House Hotel

8/10 Good
"The bedroom and bathroom were clean and tidy and tastefully decorated. We had booked a double room, the bed was very small, not adequate for two people, in fact when my husband turned over I fell out of the bed. So I am afraid we didn’t feel relaxed and refreshed the next morning. The dining experience was very limited, mainly Chinese food, obviously catered by a Chinese restaurant. The bottle of wine was very expensive, very over priced. Breakfast was good. We felt the host could have been more welcoming and pro-active."
