Having never stayed at a b&b stateside I did not know what to expect. From Tripadvisor reviews I gleaned that this was one of the better examples. Yes, the Headlands Inn was quaint with a pretty garden and the breakfasts were good. Yes, the cookies and tea/ coffee p.m. were delicious. However, several things grated. Yes there was an enthusiastic welcome from the proprietors, but as a Brit I found it a bit too full on. Also the bathroom arrangements in the Patricia Stofle room definitely needed updating. It is possible to do Victorian with modern conveniences. The bath/ shower was very difficult to access and I am an able person. The biggest niggle though was the envelope on the mantelpiece soliciting tips for staff- I certainly didn't expect this!

A very Mendocino experience. Very professionally run, but with a warm and personal feel. The food was fabulous, from the afternoon tea/sherry hour to the palate and eye pleasing breakfast, which was the finest we have ever had at a B & B - and we've had some very good ones. The Caspar Cottage was a wonderfully spacious and private retreat, definitely our choice if we return. The Headlands Inn deserves all the accolades it receives.

Wow, this was our first expierience at a B&B so we didn't know what to expect. Well before we even arrived Denise was already on the phone booking our massages at Mendocino Massage. When we arrived we were greeted by the friendly staff and given the grand tour. We stayed in the Barry room with and ocean view, fireplace ready to be lit and a good size bathroom with tub and shower. Breakfast brought to your room every morning, and let me tell you this is not just muffins and juice. The breakfast was fabulous and delicious with plenty of fruit to go along with it. Coffee, the morning paper and flowers to top it all off. (The stuffed French Toast was our favorite.) Everyone was so nice but not intrusive. The cookies and tea in the parlor every afternoon just topped it all off. The Headlands is in the middle of town so walking distance to all the shoppes and Beach. We so did not want to leave and will definitly be back ASAP. I strongly recommend The Headlands Inn for anyone who has always wanted to try a B&B.
