Merrijig Inn

Qurkiy inn, we had a Queens suite, which was ok, clean and tidy, we had breakfast, which is help yourself buffet , also with an option of a cooked breakfast, we had dinner each night, which was tasty, but you kneed to book up, as it gets very busy, the inn is ideally located,

Der Merrijig Inn ist ein im besten Sinne altmodisches Hotel mit Charme, das von sehr liebenswerten charmanten älteren Damen betrieben wird. Beim Früstück wird man in einem gemütlichen Frühstücksraum umsorgt wie auf dem Land in England. Es gibt sogar selbst eingelegtes Obst für's Müsli. Wir hatten allerdings das Pech, den 'Attic Room' gebucht zu haben, ohne dass uns die Konsequenzen klar waren. Der 'Attic Room' liegt im 1. Stock, hat weniger als 10m2 Fläche, im Bad kannst du dich kaum umdrehen und das Bett ist so kurz dass man sich nicht ausstrecken kann. Für mitreisende Kinder absolut empfehlenswert, aber nicht für Erwachsene.

En arrivant vous êtes très étonnés, vous vous demandez où vous êtes tombés, c'est très kitch et foulli . La chambre est vieillotte mais a son charme. C'est une vieille demeure qui a gardé son charme. Je ne dis pas que j'y passerai plusieurs nuits mais une ou deux ça passe. De plus Port Fairy est un joli petit port. Le petit déjeuner est très bien.

Lovely place to stay in Port Fairy which in itself is a great place to stay before or after the GOR. We were in room 2 which was huge and had a separate living room and a bath. Very cute touches everywhere and a lovely garden. Great breakfast too. We weren’t able to eat here in the evening, as it’s shut on a Wednesday evening

Stayed one night. Do not book room 4. Too many issues to list. Some the same as reported on trip advisor years ago. When we arrived we were given option of eating there but when trying to book a time only a tiny space available on the high bar counter. Unable to use. Highly recommend breakfast had only one cooked option IE scrambled egg. Hotel services and guests appeared to play second fiddle to restaurant.

We stayed for one night in room 4 (Queens suite) which had a small lounge attached to the bedroom. The only real positive was the location of the inn, right next to the port, great views. We were told the room was the only room in the oldest part of the inn, as if this was a good thing. The room itself was very tired, old and falling apart in places (holes in wall and an area above the clothes rail was held together with tape). It certainly did not look like the pictures on the website. There was an old gas fire in the lounge which was pointed out to us (but no instructions on how to use it) and a radiator in the bedroom. Unfortunately the radiator wasn’t on, and we couldn’t get the gas fire to work (the only instruction for it was how to turn it off). The room was very cold (thankfully we did find a hot water bottle which made it a bit more bearable). We arrived on a Saturday and on checking in were asked if we wanted to eat in that night. At no point were we told that it gets very busy and we would need to book a table immediately. They only had the previous nights menu at that point and as one of us is vegetarian and one pescatarian we wanted to wait for that nights before confirming. We went for a walk and received the menu at 5:45. We were then told that there were no tables available (!) but we could eat in the bar at 6:30. This was earlier than we wanted but agreed as the food has good reviews. The bar is tiny and they expected us to sit at the bar to eat. Although there were bar stools, the actual bar was high and narrow and it would have been impossible to eat in that position. We therefore declined and went elsewhere. We feel they should have told us as soon as we checked in that we need to book a table asap. Breakfast was ok, again there have been very good reviews. However there was a very limited choice of cooked food (scrambled egg with or without avocado). No other egg choice. Safe to say we would not recommend or return. The other rooms may be better, but avoid room 4 if you do stay there!
