We were slightly intrigued as we had been allocated room 7. In other reviews, room 7 was reviewed as being very small. Well, when we arrived, we didn't think the room was that small and it was perfectly adequate for two people. The bed was comfortable and there was a brill selection of breakfasts to have in the morning. From... More

Well it does what it says it will do only better, lovely owners who put much effort into making you welcome as possible. The breakfast choice and portion size are legendary, I have a healthy appetite and I struggled to finish the full sized English breakfast. Our room was more than big enough, with a 6ft wide bed, quality bedding... More

We stayed here for one night in June, 12. The bedroom was small, but we managed, we wouldn't have wanted to be in it for more than one night tho. We found everything to be very clean. Tea & coffee making facilities in room, and biscuits. Nice touch in bathroom which was kitted out with lots of extras, plasters, paracetamol... More

We had 3 nights at Merritt House in November 2012 - we really do feel that we have had a break from our everyday lives. Dianne and Paul make you feel so very, very welcome - from the front door being opened when you arrive, to when you leave. Wonderful hosts and very much deserve all the great reviews written... More

i echo all the good reviews that this b&b has had i will certainly be going back there again next time we had room 4 across the hallway from dining room. The room looked out over the cricket and rugby ground and you could see the steam train in the station too. The room was a 3min walk to town... More

Visiting family in Torbay and decided to go B&B this time - so glad we did. Merritt House was a great base for 4 days, set back just 1 road away from the seafront and pretty Paignton Harbour, so great for a stroll after breakfast. You need to walk it off, it's amazing! Freshly cooked with a choice of usual... More

Very nice and warming welcome. Bed was comfortable and the breakfasts were nice and an extensive choice available. Didn’t get the tea and cake other people got on arrival, this was one of the reasons we chose the B&B. Space for 3 cars out the back (first come first serve) try and get one and I found the parking in... More
