Very comfortable B&B. Breakfasts were hot, fresh and delicious. Enjoyed the independence of tea/coffee, juice availability and sitting area to chat with friends. Overlooks the canal and campground where other cyclist friends were staying. Thank you Caroline and John.

John and Carolyn were fantastic hosts, the feature breakfasts every morning were excellent. Merrickville is a beautiful historic town which is great to walk around. The B&B is an interesting historical building with great added modern additions like the pool, hot tub and sauna. At an additional cost you can sample from the wine and whiskey bar. Beautiful spot my wife and I highly recommend the location.
