We enjoyed our time with 1840 b&b. We were to attend a family wedding in the area and we can highly recommend the town of Merrickville as a destination for a very special occasion. The hospitality, location and walkability, plus the excellent quality of the area for a relaxing and comfortable getaway will encourage you to return again and feel your life is as you deserve it to be.

John and Carolyn were fantastic hosts, the feature breakfasts every morning were excellent. Merrickville is a beautiful historic town which is great to walk around. The B&B is an interesting historical building with great added modern additions like the pool, hot tub and sauna. At an additional cost you can sample from the wine and whiskey bar. Beautiful spot my wife and I highly recommend the location.
