    We have stayed at the Merrijig Inn five times now over a few years & the service and care are always amazing. We love the attic rooms small but cozy. Enjoyed dinner in the restaurant, and it was 10/10 absolutely delicious. Can't wait to get back to relax and unwind by the fire with your homemade cookies.

    No complaints

    Had a very nice dinner with the steak perhaps not as hot as it could have been. The breakfasts were something to experience. The originality of what was offered was really nice to experience with the eggs and avacado on toast being really delicious.

    We had such a lovely cosy comfortable stay at the Merrijig Inn. As it was winter the fire was glowing in the lounge which was so welcoming. We enjoyed a tasty breakfast. Good coffee, continental breakfast and delicious mushroom omelettes. Our only regret was that we hadn't arranged our holiday so that we could experience the on sight restaurant. We will have to visit again! Thankyou for a lovely stay.

    The property is very old but in excellent condition. There are many different areas and lots of light in each. The restaurant serving locally based products is very good. Tasty, imaginative food and great friendly service. In fact nothing is too much trouble for the staff. Breakfast is also exceptional.

    A Warm and Memorable Stay with Unique Character

    We had such a lovely stay at this charming old Inn. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. We stayed in the beautiful queen suite, which had its own cozy sitting room which was perfect for relaxing. The Inn itself has such unique character, blending old-world charm with thoughtful little details that made it feel truly special. Dinner was another highlight - beautifully prepared using seasonal, local produce and cooked with genuine care. It truly felt like being a guest in someone’s home. The staff couldn’t do enough for you, and their warmth made all the difference. You could tell they genuinely love what they do and wanted every guest to leave with a memorable, personal experience.

    The only criticism is that an electric blanket on the bed would have been really lovely. Nevertheless the bed and room were warm.

    The Merrijig Inn is a delightful old homestead with carefully appointed public rooms, with an old fashioned, cosy feel. We loved sitting by the fireplace on the comfy couches. The private rooms with private ensuite and sitting room were comfortable and pleasant. The breakfast was magnificent, with homemade jams, beautiful fresh and poached fruits, local yoghurt, freshly squeezed OJ, muesli, bread,etc, followed by delicious poached eggs and bacon and hot pot of tea!

    Everyone asked to breakfast at the same time but then our cooked service was very slow coming out. Was delicious when it finally did but the long wait spoiled it somewhat The cold buffet was fantastic.

    Charming old property, sympathetically done out.

    .

    Staying in Merrijig was an absolute treat! The bedroom was surprisingly spacious, as was the bathroom. The common area was incredibly cosy, especially the little nook with the fireplace. Each morning, we were blessed with a delicious breakfast and wonderful variety. I have to mention the staff, as it felt like we were visiting old friends, rather than being guests. The whole vibe of Merrijig is just cosy, friendly, but professional at the same time. We can't wait to be back!
