Merlin Vacations from $509

The place is nice and away from the city. The place is very rustic and cozy, great if you are looking for something that gets you away from technology. Rooms don’t have a tv and the internet is a little slow, but the grounds are beautiful. Come early for the wine, the bar closes early and staff isn’t around after it closes.

We stayed in the upper appartment. The place is beautiful, comfortable, quite, and clean. The kitchen is well equipped. The balcony overlooks a beautiful garden patio. The location is a short walking distance to Ashlands' center with its theaters, coffee shops and restaurants. Steve, our host, was welcoming, bery communicative and accessible. Our stay was perfect.

My son had stayed there before, his room seemed more updated than ours. The rate for our room was really high due to the fact that it was SOU’s graduation weekend, that was sort of a bummer to see the rate increase. I didn’t really like the self check in, especially when they had staff in the office available. You’re tired from traveling, I just want someone to check my id, hand me my room key, and send me on my way with a smile. Our room did not look like the “suite” we booked online at all. We had 3 adults in our room and there were exactly that many towels in our unit. You had to go to the office & request more. Our biggest issue was that our tv did not work correctly. We let the staff know, she gave us new batteries and said she would send someone down; that never happened. I told them again during checkout, so we did get a percentage off of our bill. That was nice. The pros: it was within walking distance to graduation, so that was very convenient. Cons: for what I paid, I would not book again, especially with tv not working during USA World Cup match & Knicks championship game airing.

we love this place. We stay in a lot of different places and this one is one of our favorites. Clean, comfy beds and rooms. The staff are kind and helpful, they provide that personal interaction and care that sets them above most places.
