    I couldn't see the TV from the bed - that would be the only thing I would change.

    I absolutely loved my stay here! I would happily stay again in the future. The place is peaceful, welcoming, and very comfortable. A special thank you to Tony and Howard for their kindness, hospitality, and for making me feel right at home. Highly recommended!.

    Quit and comfortable value staff very EZ to work with and friendly After rechecking my check in info Bookings messed up my check in time it’s like they auto changed it.. but Howard at the resort managed it and accommodated us which was wonderful!

    The owner and property manager were incredibly attentive and welcoming. They were very communicative from the moment booking was made until we checked out. Bed was comfortable, we selected a room with a patio, there are only two that have that option at this property and would highly recommend selecting one of those rooms. They are very generous when it comes to dollar allocation to provide breakfast at one of three local establishments. If you like boutique style hotels, then you should check this one out!

    Very quaint place to stay if you’re in this area. Howard was a delightful host.

  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    Folks, replace the decaying carpet going up the stairs. The place is like being preserved in time but not kept up in time.

  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    This house was amazing. I loved learning about the history of the house and the family that owned it.

  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    The Inn is beautiful. Howard was a wonderful host. He communicated our breakfast options as soon as the reservation was completed. We had a late check in, and he was prompt in replies. The rooms were clean. My only recommendation would be to trim the bush in front of the house. It was a little difficult to walk around and stay on the side walk. I would definitely recommend staying here.

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    From the moment we arrived, the English Merchant Inn exceeded every expectation. The historic charm of the building is beautifully maintained, yet every comfort feels modern and thoughtful. Our room was spotless, cozy, and full of character, with little touches that made it feel special. The innkeepers were warm and welcoming—always ready with helpful recommendations and a genuine smile. Breakfast each morning was absolutely delicious and clearly made with care. The location is ideal for exploring the area, but it’s also so peaceful that you can simply relax and soak in the atmosphere. We left feeling refreshed and already planning our next visit. I can’t recommend the English Merchant Inn highly enough for anyone looking for a perfect blend of comfort, history, and hospitality.

    Lovely place to stay. Great atmosphere. The owner was friendly and gave us a nice tour of the home. Everything necessary for a nights stay. Wish our trip had been longer than just one night.

  • Engine customer May 2025

    British theme decorations were great ◡̈

  • Engine customer May 2025

    The house was great. There were a lot of interesting things to look at and our en suite bathroom was wonderful. Oh, and the bed was beautiful and the balcony was great. It was a little rainy so we didn't enjoy it as much as we'd like, plus we got there late and I couldn't stay more than one night but that wasn't their fault. I hope I am able to go again in the future! It said breakfast was included so I thought breakfast would be there. They had information about 3 different restaurants they recommended but whether they had a deal with them, I wasn't sure and I didn't think to ask when we went to the White Rhino cafe. It was a cute cafe though in a large, gray Victorian house.
