We stayed for one night in the four poster room with friends in the blue room. We received a warm and friendly welcome. The Merchants House is well situated just a couple of minutes walk from the harbour and shops. The Crab House Cafe across the road was recommended to us and we had a very enjoyable and reasonably priced... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Merchant's House last weekend and what a beautiful weekend we had there. Situated perfectly right by the sea, this luxury bed and breakfast was wonderful. The room was of very high standard, I particularly appreciated all the small touches that set this B & B from places we have stayed in the past.... More

My partner and I spent last weekend at the Merchant's House and we can't recommend it highly enought. The place is spotlessly tidy, the breakfasts were great (the homemade breakfast was a real treat!) and Liz and Dennis were the perfect hosts, giving recommendations for local restaurants and even a free drinks voucher for The Crown Inn. I would recommend... More

It's a big claim to make but we love this place and have already booked again for October, for what will be our third visit, to stay in the fantastic home of Liz & Dennis. It's a well used cliche to say this is a home-from-home and I would imagine that some people reading this review will doubt it could... More

My husband and I came to stay for two nights, and we absolutely loved it. The four-poster bed was pure luxury, really lovely special touches in the bedroom and bathroom meant that we had everything we needed. The breakfasts were so delicious we had a full english two days in a row..! Liz and Denis are lovely and really helpful... More

We did not research this luxury B&B before we booked, it was a wonderful find! We would highly recomend this establishment, from the friendly welcome, to the fresh home baked bread with breakfast what more could you ask for. Do not hesitate in staying here

Our usual Wells B&B of choice was unable to accommodate two couples for two nights and so they kindly referred us to The Merchants House after they had checked for availability. After checking on TripAdvisor we made the booking and came here with a slight feeling of settling for "second best" but we couldn't have been more wrong. From the... More

The Merchants house is the place to stay if you want your every need to be looked after. Liz and Dennis welcome you into their home as if you are family. The rooms are beautifully clean and inviting. We found the complementary drinks tray second to none. The beds were so comfortable, I would have loved to take ours home.... More

I loved this B&B!! We had a great welcome by Liz and Dennis who also helped us park. We stayed in the four poster bedroom which I thought was fantastic! Huge room with a small sofa (very comfortable), and flat screen TV, hairdryer, bath robes. Our bathroom was situated just outside the room and had a bath as well as... More

We are on holiday from New Zealand and stayed at The Merchants House on 12/6/12 in the Blue Room. This was our first b & b experience. Liz and Dennis were very pleasant and welcoming, the room and facilities in spotless condition, and the breakfast most enjoyable. Its location right near the fishing wharves and shops was very convenient. They... More
