“Had a wonderful stay. Hosts were great and location. Had a fab stay could have done with a TV”
The location was excellent, however the breakfast wasn’t to our taste. It looked lovely and was home cooked however as being British it wasn’t to our liking

“An absolute must stay place in Monterey, unique and fabulous”
What’s not to like! An absolutely wonderful place to stay, so much surpassed our expectations. Beautifully decorated, well thought out communal areas, comfy rooms, wonderful staff. Super little complimentary quirks such as fresh cookies and tea 24/7, filtered water in rooms which you can swap in when empty, brandy in rooms for a night cap and a rabbit hole full of soft drinks for guests to help themselves to,

“A lovely place to be”
I stayed for a conference since the conference hotel was booked and I’m so glad I did. My room had a cozy fireplace and a stunning view of the bay. The whole property is charming, as are the staff. Plenty of nooks to settle into in the public areas, too, though I didn’t have time for that. This is a lovely inn, and I’ve already rebooked for next year.

Really friendly staff that did their best to accommodate our early morning activity (helping with a to-go breakfast). The house per-se is fascinating and nicely decorated.

“My stay was too short.”
The Inn surrounded by interesting gardens. Very good outside spaces. Location very quiet on a hill overlooking the Bay. Inn was well managed, engaging hosts. While reading Steinbeck's Tortilla Flat, I could look out the window and easily imagine his characters rolling around in the trees outside.

“Best B&B Ever!”
Wish we could give this 11/10, property was amazing and in a great location. The Inn was so lovely and welcoming and we loved all the little touches like the wine and hors d’oeuvres hour, the brandy in the room, the games corner, the sun porch, the cookies, the breakfasts… the hosts were fantastic, so happy we chose to stay here and wish we had stayed longer!
