My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Brick Path! The bed was super comfy and we loved lighting up the fireplace. Having tea and coffee in our room was such a treat. And we enjoyed having Solano Avenue so close, so we could indulge in our favorite morning buns from La Farine.

It was the perfect ending to our trip!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the cottage. The bed was one of the most comfortable we had ever slept in. That, along with the quiet surroundings, made for three very restful nights. Although we didn’t cook while we were there, the kitchen was so well stocked with utensils, dishes, a stove, a microwave, a refrigerator, a toaster, and even a toaster oven that we could have easily prepared all of our own meals. The cottage is set up with all of the comforts of home. It has a futon to sit in while watching TV and a small table and chairs to sit in while eating home-cooked meals, writing letters, etc. There is also a private patio right outside the cottage that has a table and chairs right next to beautiful gardens. The location couldn’t be more perfect. A block away there is a market, restaurants, and all types of shopping opportunities. We were able to eat at a nearby restaurant, take a walk in the scenic Berkeley Hills, and end up in a beautiful oak-filled park tucked away among residences. Best of all was the friendly, helpful manner of the innkeeper, Wendy Sprague. She made us feel most welcome and was always available if we needed anything. We highly recommend the cottage or the other units that Wendy manages to anyone visiting the Berkeley area.

A Wonderful Time
The Brick Path Bed and Breakfast
Berkeley, California
Our stay at The Brick Path was incredible. Wendy enthusiastically and immediately made us feel at home in the cottage. The cottage was delightful and contained everything we needed, from pans to dishes to silverware, so we made a wonderful dinner there. We enjoyed our own private patio, and each morning Wendy arrived promptly to bring our breakfast tray.
Of special interest were the gardens and we took many picutres there to help us with the design of our own gardens at home.
Another plus was the location-just a couple of blocks from wonderful Solano Avenue in Albany and the many shops, restaurants and theatres there.
We can't wait to go back and enjoy time there with Wendy and the gardens again very soon. We give the Brick Path our highest rating and endorsement. Elmer & Sandy Guderyon.

My daughter lives in Berkeley and checked out the Brick Path for her family to stay there for her wedding. My mom and I stayed 6 nights in The Cottage and my son and his wife 3 nites in the Master Bedroom. Wendy Sprague, the owner, is wonderful and thoughtful and serves amazing breakfasts. We loved every second and also loved how close we were to everything we were doing with family in Berkeley. I recommend this place to anyone who wants quiet and a wonderful neighborhood. We will stay here again for sure!
