What our customers say about their holidays

  Merlin was nice, clean, cheery accommodation which met our needs.

  It was better equipped than most holiday lets which felt thoughtful. Some places you can’t visit the loo on arrival without unpacking soap but in Merlin there were supplies of kitchen cleaning materials, dishwasher tablets, laundry capsules, toilet paper etc. There was also good WiFi & excellent tv provision, not just freeview. And a tv in the master bedroom. Which was nice. If you are happy to drive everywhere & do not mind your immediate surroundings I would recommend Merlin. If you don’t mind long walks you can access at least 3 beaches on foot. However, Malborough is not nice at all. The village centre is moderately pretty (nice, historic church), but tiny with no pavement & a constant stream of traffic making it hairy to walk through, especially with dog & kids. The location of Merlin is a massive built up council estate with so many parked cars it can be hard to get off the driveway. There are countryside views. The walk from Merlin to the village is an exercise in dodging dog poo. We love dogs but it felt like going back to a time when no one bothered picking up after their animals. Having said that, we had a wonderful time walking to Hope Cove (scenic countryside & coastal views), Salcombe (cycle path but next to a road so not such a nice walk but amazing destination) & Soar Mill Cove (pretty countryside walk with coastal views), all from Malborough. Only attempt these walks if you are keen, fit walkers & your kids are not too small or moany. You’re talking at least an hour each way for all of them. The South Hams is a stunning area we loved exploring.

  We were warmly greeted by our lovely hosts Ron and Glen even though it was quite late when we arrived.

  They live next door and looked out for us arriving. We were given a tour of the 4 bedroomed property which was very clean, spacious and warm and didn't take us long to settle in. The garden was perfect for our 2 dogs and well secured. Only one improvement I'd recommend is in the single room next to the living room which would probably be better suited with a small double bed as ample room for one. It was the perfect base for us, we walked to the Menai Bridge, visited Bangor Pier and the stunning Aber falls, popped over to Llandwyn in Angelsey and walked to the lighthouse, visited Llandudno's Pier and shopping centre which is huge. The weather on the whole was great. Lots of pubs and restaurants are dog friendly and even bring a bowl of water over for them. We visited the Bridge Inn, Antelope Inn, The Castle, Tap and Spile (but now got a new name) with a chippy attached, the cafe on Bangor Pier and The Skerries. We would highly recommend this lovely house and great for visiting the many nearby attractions. Thank you for having us.

The place was immaculate and had all the amenities you need including kitchen towels, pans, plates, utensils etc. That were all still of good quality to use. The cottage itself although spacious felt very cozy and compact. There is also a good amount of work space in the kitchen so if you enjoy cooking, it’s a great prep place. Toiletries were also available and was of great quality. In addition, Annette kindly showed us where it was appropriate for us to take our dog for runs and walks. We also made use of the leaflets and local tips that they provided. Overall, it was a very lovely, peaceful place to stay in, that had everything you needed.

The accommodation is beautifully set out and relaxing. My only reservation was with the access to the barn. Despite the downstairs bedroom with ensuite, the rear access to the barn (avoiding the steps) is very steep and therefore was not suitable for my disabled mum. We were forced to use the steps at the front. Look carefully at the photo of the rear access and decide for yourself before booking for a disabled or more elderly relative.
