CHILDREN AND PETS
The Merry House Inn is regarded as a quiet escape and romantic getaway for most of our guests, and we work hard to foster that environment. Although we love both, we are so sorry but we cannot accommodate children under the age of 12 or pets at our Inn. We will make an exception if the entire inn is booked by one party, but restrictions will apply. Additional cleaning fees will be charged for approved pets.
