Tap into Merlin magic to present the best of you & your business

The Merlin Experience

The Merlin service draws on the Smartcation platform, industry expertise, advanced video technology and focused leadership to maximise accommodation hospitality success and help you become the business owner you want to be!

“I feel lifted” (Karen Kelley, The Ivy B&B, North Carolina)

“Your innovative service helped pivot my business” (Pontheolla Mack-Abernathy, Clevedale Historic House B&B, South Carolina)

“The Merlin service supports me as an entrepreneur” (Gerard Bos, Villa Branca B&B, North Portugal)

Merlin Remote Service

You can expect an initial detailed consultation to review the best options to suit you wherever you are with business development, challenges or opportunities you face.

From there we work with you personally to build up your Merlin solution without leaving you to flounder with more tech to learn and more tasks to do.

The idea is to help you play an important role in your Merlin solution, while we do the heavy lifting.  

Once your solution is in place, Merlin then starts to reach out to your contacts to stimulate demand and action from prospective, previous and booked-in guests.

Review and refinement are key to maximising the value of your Merlin solution.

To this end, you will benefit from our collaborative style to achieve your goals. 


Merlin On-site Service



A site visit is an ideal way to generate material required to enhance your guest guide, web presence, social and email marketing strategy. 

We focus on ‘guest experience’ media developed from research and experience with owners across the world.

Our approach uses drone and other advanced video capture tools to also capture the uniqueness of you, your venue and proposition. 

However, the site visit service is much more than footage capture including:

Business development consultation
Smartcation Guest Guide review
Packages / offers creation workshop
How to capture smartphone footage for Merlin to use for you
