The Spotlight on Merrill House

Charming Elegance in Prince Edward County

Modern luxury meets historic elegance at Merrill House, a boutique hotel nestled in the heart of Picton. Housed in a beautifully restored Victorian mansion, this unique property blends sophistication with cozy comfort. With onsite gardens, a terrace, and upscale design, it offers the perfect base for concert-goers heading to shows in Prince Edward County and nearby areas like Belleville.
Located just 30 miles from Empire Theater and within easy reach of Sandbanks Provincial Park, Merrill House is ideal for travelers looking for a relaxed but refined stay before or after a night of live music.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans appreciate Merrill House for its peaceful setting that contrasts beautifully with a high-energy night out. After dancing the night away, unwind in a room with free WiFi, private bath, and even a balcony in select rooms. Though not in the heart of the nightlife, it’s close enough for a quick drive or rideshare to local venues. The hotel's sauna and lush gardens offer a perfect recovery space, and with free private parking, it’s a stress-free choice for road-tripping music lovers.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a stylish weekend escape with a concert on the itinerary
  • Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list performance in a serene setting
  • Couples pairing a show with a romantic retreat
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space
  • Budget-conscious music fans who don’t mind a short drive for the perks of a premium stay

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant and bar serve up culinary delights perfect for pre- or post-show meals. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the bar offers a refined space to wind down. Breakfast is available—and much appreciated after a late night. For more options, downtown Picton eateries are just a short stroll away.

Nightlife Options

While Merrill House doesn’t host live music on-site, it’s within easy reach of local bars and lounges in Picton and nearby towns. For those who prefer a more laid-back vibe, the hotel’s wine bar is perfect for sipping local vintages in a cozy atmosphere.

What People Say

Guests love the hotel’s historic charm, attention to detail, and impeccable service. Many highlight the beautiful decor, peaceful location, and the fine dining experience. It’s often described as a hidden gem in Prince Edward County.

Areas for Improvement

If you're hoping to walk to a concert venue, this might not be the spot—you’ll need a car or taxi. Also, while there’s no late-night room service, the quality of on-site dining makes up for it. Some rooms are a bit smaller than expected, so it's worth checking the room size when booking.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers seeking refined comfort and a quiet place to recharge after a night of music, Merrill House delivers charm, class, and convenience in one unforgettable stay.

A Truly Special Stay at...

Liked: Our one-night stay at Merrill House was unforgettable. This beautifully preserved Victorian mansion is full of charm, character, and thoughtful details. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality. Jordan, the owner, was incredibly friendly and generous with his time, offering great insights into the County and making us feel right at home.Our room was spotless, cozy, and full of personality. The entire house is a feast for the eyes, carefully curated art, historic touches, and a timeless elegance that’s hard to find. Breakfast was a standout: hearty, delicious, and clearly made with love.Parking was easy, the service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was both luxurious and inviting. Merrill House is more than just a hotel, it's an experience. We only stayed one night, but it left a lasting impression. Can’t wait to return.
Disliked: Nothing to say !!

Luxurious stay in period house

Liked: Our stay at Merrill House was very comfortable, with a bed and pillows that let you sink into relaxation and sweet dreams. The room we stayed in 'The Marchioness of of Lorne' was on the ground floor facing the front. It was large and the bathroom was great. Such a beautiful hotel with lots of character and great staff. Breakfast was also very satisfying. Fantastic location, easy walk to town. I think the hotel was full but during the day it was quiet and hardly saw any other guests.
Disliked: Unfortunately with our room there was a lot of noise directly above, around 7am each morning. I think there is a staircase directly above, so lots of footsteps and banging, which woke me early.

Clean hotel but room for...

Liked: I selected this hotel because it was highly rated and I chose an upgraded room. The staff were very friendly, the room was large, the bed was comfortable and the air conditioning worked very well. But overall I was disappointed. The breakfast was the highlight of our stay.
Disliked: There were no comfortable chairs and the TV was small compated to the distance from the bed. There was only one convenient plug to use to recharge our electronics. The wifi service was poor (reported to staff). There were no flat surfaces to organize toiletries, clothes and other items for the day. We had a ground floor room so we needed to close the curtains but this was challenging since they were tied behind furniture. Management should experience the rooms by acting like visitors.
