The owners of the Jabberwock treated us to the best service we have ever had: lavish breakfasts served at a beautiful Victorian style table with the other guests...it was like dining with family, plus all the laughs and warmth, minus the squabbles and drama. The gorgeous sunlit sitting room overlooking the bay and the lovely garden with its box hedge... more

The Jabberwock Inn reminded me of all that is good about B&Bs - the personal touch, the feeling that you are getting to know people rather than being an anonymous guest, quirky books and ornaments, great breakfast and interesting company. I particularly like the board with all of the guests names on. We stayed in the Wabe room - the... more

The Jabberwock, and the staff were wonderful! So pleasant, and approachable and very helpful with information about Monterey and places to see and eat. The room was very comfortable, and the character of the room, with all the little things that made it special, from light fixtures, to interesting sink, window seat to enjoy the view, the numbers bed, and... more

We stayed at the Jabberwock Inn for our son's wedding and couldn't have been more pleased! The entire weekend was wonderful! The location is convenient for visiting both Monterey and Pacific Grove but away from the hustle and bustle of tourist traffic. You can enjoy the quiet charm of the inn or make your way a few blocks down the... more

I also love TripAdvisor. And I was not disappointed by taking the advise of the majority in this case. I like to read a cross section of reviews before I book a place (I do the same thing on Amazon, by they way - look at the bad reviews and try to balance them with the good, and my own... more

We did our homework to select the perfect B&B in Monterey and we were rewarded with a great experience. John & Dawn were terrific innkeepers and truly made us feel like family in their home. The Craftsman style home had a great deal of charm and we loved staying in the Borogove room for 3 nights. Although the other rooms... more

Wow! This bed and breakfast is fantastic. There are 7 rooms. We stayed at the ‘Toves’. King bed, 2-person jacuzzi, fireplace, private bathroom, and our own private patio. The room is wonderfully decorated and very comfortable. There was even brandy for us in the room! The hosts, John and Dawn, run an amazing place. from 5-8 there is wine and... more

If the Jabberwock were a violin, the Innkeepers would be Concert Masters. What a creative, relaxing, cordial environment. Exceptional hosts serving in an exceptionally well furnished B&B. Delicious food, delightfully served. Many B&Bs describe themselves with the above adjectives and are a "stanza", The Jabberwock is a "symphony". more

I, sadly, just came home from a wonderful and relaxing stay here. I did not want to leave. John and Dawn were very welcoming, kind and VERY accommodating to my gluten free diet. They even made me my own batch of wheat free brownies!!! The Jabberwock has a Alice in Wonderland theme that my husband and I love. We had... more

As eager of hosts that Dawn and John are, I regret to say that we really didn't enjoy our stay here. I was put-off from the start, when John answered the door, and rather than shaking my hand, which I offered, he insisted on giving me a close embrace. It was awkward and made me very uncomfortable. I believe he... more

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and we are happy there are choices of accomodations available------ As the owners of The Jabberwock, we take great pride in our Bed and Breakfast and are quite sorry these particular guests did not enjoy their stay here. We enjoy meeting and greeting everyone from the moment they step into the Inn, making...
