"Do yourself a favour. Do not pass this by."

10.0

Stopover after a ferry ride from Nthn. Ireland. We wish we had an extra day. Do yourself a favour. Don’t rush off after the ferry ride with Stena (excellent) or P&O. The Merchants House is between the two terminals. Fiona and her team are magnificent. The onsite restaurant and bar produce sensational food for dinner and breakfast. This little place is a gem.

Cute cottage, nice and clean, dinner was fantastic. Convenient location for the ferry. Fiona was a fantastic host.

Entrance was a little awkward with big suitcases. Busy road.

"great location if you are going to the ferries to Northern Ireland."

9.0

What a hidden gem. Staying at Merchant House with our host Fionia was a delight. She could not do enough for us during our stay, from drinks to dinner to breakfast. Beautiful spot overlooking the river watching the ferries come & go. Room was very comfortable, quiet and extremely clean, same with the ensuite. We sat and chattered for many hours hearing about the history of this near 300 year old building and its previous lives, still standing strong for nearly 300 years. Only approximately a mile from our ferry terminal, so perfect location. Thank you Fionia for your hospitality and kindness, we wish you all the best.

nothing that comes to mind.
