I took my mother for her birthday. I read the reviews on tripadvisor after I had booked the room. I spent a week upset . Upon arrival I realized my concerns had been ridiculous!! It was a lovely room and main room. The breakfasts were wonderful. We were able to walk to the beach and to restaurants. The decor was perfect for my mother. It was a terrific stay and I plan to return with my husband!

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 heater, so we were stuck with a small floor heater. Hate that to happen on a 160$ per night room, eh? This stay came two days after a great stay at Hilton Garden Inn, salt lake city and just before a very memorable stay in El Morocco Inn, Desert Hot springs.. so this place didnt just stand a chance. I wouldnt have gotten this place, if i looked at the reviews first... :(.

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 any good, but we had our own wine and really enjoyed the whirlpool tub after our 6 hour drive. The room is a bit reminiscent of visiting grandma. Not the classiest B&B room we've stayed in, but comfortable and private. We hardly noticed the train, heard the wistle once. The next morning we enjoyed a simple but delicious breakfast, great coffee-we took a cup for a walk on the beach, only a block away, before breakfast. The service was pleasant and we have no complaints--especially after I left my fleece in the closet and picked it up two days later, washed! We then headed off for a bike ride. The bikes are old but perfect beach cruisers, such a plus. A great way to see SB. Overall, really enjoyed our stay-not a four star hotel but so much better than some random motel in SB.

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!!
