Excellent Host: Genial, warm, attentive, but not intrusive. Food: The cooked breakfast was superb, with plenty of options made available for those with smaller appetites. The eating area is amply sized, and at the rear, a pleasant, quiet location which catches the morning sun just right for a relaxing start to the day. Room/Facilities: Far better than expected, with plenty of space. both clean and well-appointed. Overall: Very good to Faultless.

It is situated next to a very long, very busy road (basically a dual-carriageway) it's not perhaps the quietest, or salubrious of locations (but the windows do provide very good sound-proofing). Off-road parking at the property itself is available but very limited, and the property itself seems like it may provide some challenges to those with mobility issues due to it's age/layout, since the majority of rooms are up-stairs. However, fore-warned is fore-armed, and for us, these issues didn't impact on our stay.

It is plain to see that the owner, Mark, has spent many years in the hospitality business and he couldn't be more welcoming and accommodating if he tried. We took advantage of an upgrade to a Superior room via the Booking.com Genius scheme which brings the benefit of a bath along with the usual shower and a larger room giving space to accommodate an additional sofa and coffee table.

Our only 'gripe', and it is a minor one, is that it's slightly out of town on a fairly busy road which meant a slightly longer walk if you wanted to park up the car and use the excellent public transport network in the area.

This was the most wonderful stay in this lovely hotel! Mark and his lovely wife were amazing, kind and welcoming, I felt like a special guest! Excellent fresh breakfast Mark made each morning especially for me. A beautiful garden with flowers opens up from the dining room! Comfortable bed, comfortable room and a wonderful sleep with birds singing, what else do you need for a great holiday?! Walking distance to the center takes 20 min. There is a great supermarket nearby and also a great fish and chips place! I highly recommend this wonderful place to everyone! They are the best!!! 🙏👌👍💯🥰 I recommend visiting wonderful places nearby - Highdown Gardens (free) and Shoreham Beach (great place for swimming) 👍

The house was easy to find. We arrived at 8.30 pm and had a friendly greeting by Mark who showed us our rooms and took our breakfast order. He was very helpful, particularly given that we needed an early breakfast. The rooms were immaculately clean. There was a hairdryer, TV and there was even a fan due to the recent hot weather. There were tea/coffee making facilities with biscuits and what made it even more perfect was that there were actually chocolates as well. The bathroom was supplied with everything you needed with a good shower. Breakfast was on time, and perfectly cooked, together with a choice of ceriels and plenty of toast with tea/coffee and juice. I don't give praise unless I'm really happy, but I couldn't fault our stay with Mark at Merton House. We only stayed one night as we were travelling for my son's graduation in Brighton, but I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a place to stay and I would certainly go back again if we were in the area.

For once I could actually not suggest anything I didn't like!

We had the Superior/Deluxe King room which was massive - large comfortable bed, large space, and leather settee, along with a large bathroom with corner bath (can't lie down in it though) and separate shower. At the back of the house so no traffic noise. Breakfast was lovely - set us up well for a day's walking. Lovely pictures and interesting ornaments reflecting Mask's South African background throughout the house. Close to bus-stops which got us to Washington to walk on South Downs Way (and to/back from Worthing).

It didn't affect us as there were few bookings when we were there and we were able to park in front of the house, but there is limited on-site parking. Apparently there is easy on-street parking in roads behind the house.

Mark and his wife were lovely and very accommodating, Mark cooks all of his guests a lovely breakfast each morning at the time of their choosing and ensures his guests have all they need. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, the location was perfect, very close to the station and main town and beach. There was also a good selection of teas and coffees in the rooms as well. I had a lovely stay and will definitely stay here again.

Very comfortable and spacious room with everything supplied (fluffy towels and a range of toiletries). Host very welcoming and recommended places to eat nearby. Excellent breakfast.

Located a bit out of the town centre. We'd been walking all day and were very tired, but caught a bus easily from near the pier. Otherwise it's a c.25 minute walk from the pier.

Stay was very good. Visit was primarily to attend meetings early Sunday morning relating to voluntary work I undertake and needed to leave 30 minutes after breakfast start time; Mark immediately offered to serve it earlier so I didn't have to rush. Also, thoughtful little extras were provided not experienced at other places.

Nothing.

The location was very handy. The room was spacious very comfortable and very clean. The breakfast was delicious and Mark was a great host and nothing was to much trouble and a great guy to chat with. Overall we had a fantastic stay.

Nothing really.

The room was spotless clean, you also get complementary tea, coffee, water and biscuites. Mark made me feel welcomed - I could chose when to have breakfast I was offered several options too. He has also been super kind to give me a lift to the waterfront after check out. The house is just 15mins walk from the station. I will surely go back.
