I had a truly wonderful stay at this charming inn. The warm and welcoming atmosphere created by the staff made every moment special, especially with the wonderful personal touches like the welcome champagne. The quiet and quaint environment allowed for a peaceful retreat after exploring Carmel. However, I did find the walls a bit thin, making it easier to hear my neighbors. Overall, it's a place I'd highly recommend for anyone looking for a cozy getaway.

My stay at this charming B&B was a delightful experience, with beautifully appointed rooms that made me feel at home. The serene outdoor spaces provided a lovely setting for relaxation, and the breakfast delivered right to my room was a special treat each morning. However, the dining options could offer a bit more variety during breakfast, and the pet-friendly policies are great but may not suit everyone. Overall, I found excellent value for money and a cozy atmosphere that I can't wait to revisit.
