Beautiful grounds that feel secluded while being right by downtown Santa Barbara. The cabins are unique, clean, and charming. The staff go above and beyond to make guests feel comfortable and welcome.

Service was excellent. When we arrived, we were greeted and shown around the property, assisted with the luggage and showed us to our room. For breakfast, we arrived a little early, but the waiter and kitchen staff accommodated us as we needed to head up the coast to the Monterey area. The grounds were beautiful and we enjoyed breakfast outside on the veranda. We would have loved to stay longer, but time did not allow.

The included breakfast was very good and plenty of food. The afternoon refreshments could have been better. It was the same every day. Lemonade, tea and scones. The grounds are beautiful and the service was excellent. The location is very walkable and there is a beautiful park across the street. I would stay again.

Quiet little place to stay. The staff really does meet you outside when you pull up and shows you around. The Inn is close to State street, where you're able to walk to the shops and eat. The room is very clean, with air conditioner. They do offer breakfast. The grounds were beautiful. Lovely little stay!

Marvelous, as always. Spent 3 nights this time. Wandered around SB by foot (20,000 steps per day), and slept like babies at night.

Unbelievable place. Charming, beautiful, very good bed, excellent breakfast. New ownership december 2025. Big plans for improvements. The owner have 2 restaurants in town and 2 other bnbs. This place is better than a bnb. The breakfast is mode like a boutique hotel with several great choices and french press. Outshines many places.

Breakfast was incredible and staff was excellent. It was raining during our stay and we rarely felt the need to go off property. However, when we did everything was super convenient.

Spotless room as always; however what really sets this property apart from every single place you could ever stay at is the front desk staff greets you at your car, shows you to your room, and much much more. Cannot say enough good things about this property.

I stayed in the Carriage Room which is separate from the main house. The decor was lovely. I used the wi-fi the whole time and it was very reliable. Breakfast time was leisurely and enjoyable, each guest or group of guests at their own table with very attentive staff.

Ofer • Couple Trip

We loved our stay! The place is lovely and charming. Our room was clean, spacious and very pleasant. It was furnished tastefully and consistent with the overall "English Cottage" style of the place. They serve breakfast, cookies late morning, hors d'oeuvres in the evening - everything is tasty fresh and plentiful. We will definitely be back.

Tanya • Couple Trip

Best California hotel experience I’ve had. The property is secluded due to the surrounding hedges. True hospitality and timeless coziness. Great place to relax during any kind of weather. The wrap around porch is really special. I didn’t like the gas fire place as it made my whole room smell like gas and was scary to light. I wish the curtains in the main house had full privacy. I recommend staying here to any couple.

Such a cute spot, staff was friendly and helpful. They have a pretty good happy hour wine and snacks. Breakfast looks really good but we got up too early to make it each morning since it's served at 8am. About 1.5 miles from downtown. We would definitely stay here again.
