It was a OK place. This was the first bed and breakfast we stayed in. It was OK (quite expensive.. but santa barbara is generally more expensive). the house had a old feeling to it.. which was nice initially but got to us in the end. Also, the room we were staying was freezing and the staff couldnt adjust the... more

Last minute trip so we booked then read the reviews. We were a bit worried but booked so close that there was no time to cancel without a fee. I'm really glad we didn't. We stayed in the Gallaher room. Private entrance was convenient. We were late arrivals and gaining access was simple. No, the sherry in the room isn't... more

Bad, bad, bad. It's old rustic, musty and horrible. Never stay there. The place is overpriced. The breakfast is one of the worst I ever had, we skipped it twice. They could not accomodate my boyfriend who is a vegan but we were still charged. The only good thing is the location. Walking distance to the beach. Stay away!! more

Oh, how I wish I had read these reviews before booking! (Smacks herself upon the forehead) Upon check-in, we noted the "social hour" spread in the dining room--cheap box wine in a carafe, Kraft cheddar, pretzels and grapes. Cheap cocktail napkins--no plates. Tiny glasses (heaven forbid you drink more than 3 ounces of their terrible wine. I asked the innkeeper... more

I picked the b and b based on location and the website photos which are MISLEADING. There aren't any beach views from the rooms. The room smelled like mold causing me to sneeze all night. The sheets are old and parcel. The lumpy mattreses didn't let us sleep well. We came in late driving down from San Fran and wanted... more

I booked this hotel from their web site before I looked on trip advisor (my mistake). My wife called in a panic "read the reviews" it looks bad. I called to cancel within an hour but they have a policy of not refunding the first nights stay, so for only two nights we decided to stay there. Now - there... more

This is an overpriced, dreary, and dirty B&B with little to recommend it. It consists of two buidings, the main art & and crafts style home and the upper floor of the neighboring house. The latter has several rooms that have been remodeled recently and are ok but are nothing exceptional. The main building consists of a single front room,... more

I stayed at this Bed and Breakfast in June. Upon arriving, it looked like a cute place. The room was fine and the location was great. BUT....there was one HUGE problem. The service was horrendous. Literally, I have never been treated with such terrible customer service before. The employees were rude, combative, and were even speaking about their guests in... more

Every once in a while I make a mistake when I choose the lodging for a family getaway, and this was one of them. I found out about this bed and breakfast from an older edition of Pamela Lanier's bed and breakfast book. I should have bought an updated book or checked with tripadvisor, because this place just flat out... more

What a fabulous weekend! The food was outstanding. Service was amazing, especially Sandy and Luciano. My husband Will and I loved the beach cruiser bikes and lovely wine social. With only a quick walk to the beach, we were able to do our morning runs along the water and then hurry back to a warm cooked meal. Will definitely return.... more
