The property is in an good location, quite close to the town centre and all the amenities of the town, albeit quite a steep walk back to the house. The garden is nicely laid out. Property has nice large rooms with high ceilings
There were various maintenance issues which should have been sorted out prior to our visit given the cost of £11000 for the week, at this price you expect quality! Examples - back door didn't lock, property was insecure for 4 nights until temporary locks were installed on right hand door (see picture). Lounge window wouldn't open (see picture with missing handle) making it very hot and uncomfortable at times during high temperatures. Bedroom on top floor had no curtains at the windows (see picture), which meant the children couldn't sleep there and had to sleep on the floor in their parents room (see picture). Some windows had to be jammed open with accessories (see picture) to keep them open.
The lounge sofas, whilst modern, had low backs and weren't very comfortable.
After pointing out these various issues and requesting some compensation for all the faults and inconvenience we'd experienced, which detracted from our holiday which was a 40th anniversary celebration, the owner refused. I don't think I've complained about a property before but I feel this review is warranted given this is a premium priced holiday accommodation.

4.5
Beautiful house in an amazing location
5 pm check in is a bit late. Especially when check out is 10 am. I recognise it is tricky with Covid cleaning though.
5.0
The house is spotlessly clean and comfortable and feels like home from home. The location is perfect with enough walks locally, so no need to use the car. The house is extremely close to the town with all its boutique shops, and restaurants.
There really wasn't anything not to like. The house is very comfortable with beautiful fixtures and fittings
5.0
We are a regular travellers and would rate Merchants House as one of the nicest, best located, and real value of all the places we have stayed. The place was very clean, modern, had everything we needed to feel at home, and was an easy walk to all the sites we wanted to see. Also close to a supermarket which was handy, and few steps to dozens of restaurants and cafes. Communication was great too. We would highly recommend this wonderful property.
