Reviews.: We have been open since the 2007 season but the guests we have had have ranged from couples to families. The quality of the accommodation has been praised, the location which is just beautiful has been admired, the grounds and privacy have also been acclaimed. Christmas 2023 5 stars Had a wonderful stay at Merlindale while visiting family in Drumelzier. Denise was very accommodating and made stay perfect' The complimentary breakfast supplies were appreciated. Spent most nights curled up on the super comfy couches with a roaring fire whilst our older kids played pingpong. Look forward to returning soon.
