The location is ideal -- a short walk from shops and restaurants yet quiet for sleeping. The breakfasts were great, the room was spacious and airy with quality amenities, and Cindy and Charles are exceptionally thoughtful hosts. I forgot my make-up mirror, my husband forgot the wine for our nightcap...but I discovered a really good make-up mirror in the bathroom,... more

Sooooo nice. Cindy and Charles, innkeepers/owners, LOVE what they do: as a guest, you can always tell. Bed and breakfasts tend to be in old buildings, which usually means you trade years of built up grime/mustiness for quaint/picturesque/scenic. Joshua Grindle Inn is the exception. In addition to quaint, it's also scrupulously clean, with modern luxuries in the bathrooms. And quiet.... more

We stayed two nights and had a lovely quiet comfortable room (The Josh Grindle Room) with a view of the water. Cindy gave us great recommendations for dinner (we had two delicious meals) and we could walk to each of them right in town. We loved walking around town along the coastal headlands (we saw a double rainbow). Charles' breakfasts... more

My husband and I and our beloved cousins from London wound our way up CA 1 in post-Japanese-typhoon fog to the magical town of Mendocino. Downhearted after a less than commodious stay at a B&B in Napa, our spirits soared at the Joshua Grindle! The accomodations are so comfortable and relaxed, with every need or desire anticipated and met. Tasty... more

This was a beautiful bed and breakfast without the extra fru-fru that often clutters up Victorian Inns. Our room was freshly redone and comfortable. Our innkeepers were perfectly friendly without being intrusive. Breakfast was homebaked goodies. What I liked the most about breakfast was that we could sit with each other at a table for two on the porch or... more

The Inn is beautiful and in a great location. The room was very clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated. We stayed in the Garden Retreat which is very private and extremely quite. The breakfast was excellent as was the service. We would definitely stay there again. more

My husband and I spent two nights at the Joshua Grindle Inn back in August. Like the rest of Mendocino, the inn is quaint and very charming. Although it is close to the highway, we didn't notice any traffic noise. We chose the Grindle room, which was spacious and comfortable. But since it is directly over the kitchen and dining... more

Charles and Cindy run this place and it's really beautiful and clean. There are many amenities such as the books and brandy in the parlor and all the little soaps and bathroom things that you might need. There is a nice selection of peaceful music in the rooms and breakfast is extremely yummy. Both owners will know your name in... more

Our recent stay at the Joshua Grindle Inn was our second, having stayed there in 2000. The place was exactly as we remembered it to be, a beautiful house from the Victorian era, with a cosy and welcoming atmosphere. The gardens are a colourful and bright display which attract the hummingbirds that flit about the house all day. Breakfast is... more
