The Cottage is a great place for lunch - and probably for breakfast too, judging by their menu. If the weather is nice, sit on the large patio in front. I recommend the shrimp and crab salad with a glass of Pinot Grigio. Perfect on a spring or summer day. The Cottage is a restful stop for a good casual... More

I was lucky to find The Cottage and am astonished no-one has ever reviewed this B&B on Trip Advisor. Carol is kindness personified and couldn't do enough to help me have an enjoyable stay in San Diego.
