Loved this place. The owner David was very friendly and prepared an excellent breakfast! Down side is limited Parking - we had to use a multi story car park across the road from the B&B, but the 24 hour fee was reasonable. The other minus was it was very noisy in the evening. There was a group of people nearby that were chatting loudly into the early hours, which disrupted our sleep. No fault of the owner of our Property! We would recommend the Merchant House if you wish to be treated well and are not too fussed about the hustle and bustle around you. Thank you.

Lovely place, great location for the sea front, well appointed and very comfortable. We were only there for a short time (had a Guernsey ferry crossing the next morning) but thoroughly enjoyed the stay. The owner (David) was friendly and accommodating making us feel very much at home. Would highly recommend

Warm welcome at check-in. Fantastic breakfast with fruit, yoghurt, juice, excellent coffee and choice of cooked options. The room was quite small and the bed was not particularly comfortable for 2 people. The bathroom was small but the shower worked well. There were tea/coffee/hot chocolate making facilities and a hair-dryer and magazines provided. The owner was very friendly and informative about restaurants and how to get to the station.

Lovely position behind Quay Road and easy walking distance for 9pm ferry to Guernsey. A warm greeting from owner who provided a packed breakfast as I had to leave early for the ferry. Unfortunately the room was small but adequate for one person.

Set in a quiet street just behind the quayside, and very near to the high street, bus garage and train station for easy access to the surrounding area, this boutique hotel is small, cosy and comfortable. With the personal touches that the friendly owner provides. My ensuite room was clean and perfect for my two night stay. I felt completely at home, with my own front door key to come and go as i pleased. David was a great host and we chatted like old friends in his kitchen diner as he prepared a great breakfast for me. He is very informative about the area, and gave recommendations for dining and places of interest. I would be happy to stay at The Merchant House again.

Took a few days away to recharge my batteries. I could not have picked a better place to stay. I really appreciated the love time and effort that David has put into his beautiful Georgian residence. An exceptional host, helpful, friendly and a great conversationalist. The time I spent there was refreshing and calming, the sea air invigorating and the breakfast was cooked with care and looked pretty on the plate and was delicious. David’s homemade bread deserves a special mention as really enjoyed it. Oh and a hello to Bentley who is quite a character! A lovely stay and one I would like to repeat.
