This was my first visit to this B&B and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We took two rooms for the Thanksgiving weekend and found it very comfortable and charming. The dog was happy too! The location couldn't be better and the staff were so friendly and accomodating. The best part is having breakfast brought to the room where it can be... More

We are repeat guests at this quaint "walk to the beach" dog friendly B&B which makes me feel like I'm in England or Victoria, BC. A group of us Standard Poodle owners have an annual tradition of spending the first December weekend in Carmel. Cottage-like in look and feel, the rooms are charming, a "just right" sized breakfast is delivered... More

We've stayed here several times, with and without our dogs. Consistently wonderful and relaxing. Close enough to walk to the beach, I enjoy falling asleep listening to the soft sound of waves crashing in the distance. Having breakfast (and COFFEE) brought to the room is a huge convenience for us, lets us lollygag around until we're ready to head out... More

We decided to do a romantic get-away for my birthday with my wife. She found this place through trip adviser and we booked 2 nights for a weekend. We showed up on Friday and the place looked gorgeous from outside but inside everything was nasty. I have attached some pictures so you can see what I'm talking about: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rockzilla22/sets/72157627787503867/ The... More

Unfortunately these guests visited at a time when we were experiencing a turnover in housekeeping staff. Had they notified us of their issues we would have immediately addressed them to their satisfaction, or moved them to different room or different lodging facility. As for the floor, carpeting was professionally cleaned less than 60 days prior to these quests visit. Bed... More

My boyfriend and I stayed in room 5. Although small, we found it very quaint and charming. It was very nicely decorated, clean and quiet. The courtyard is lovely, and the inn itself is within walking distance to the beach, shops and restaurants. Breakfast was brought to our room each morning; coffee, fruit, pastry and quiche (quiche was not our... More

This "Bed and Breakfast" stood out from others for two reasons: 1) their dog friendly policy and 2) proximity to the beach and downtown Carmel. These were the ONLY items we were happy with. Due to a mistake by the innkeeper’s mistake, the room we reserved was given away. Once she discovered it was HER mistake, she was very apologetic... More

Unfortunately a mistake was made on this guest’s reservation. However once it was cleared up they were upgraded, at no additional charge, from a Queen room to a 2 room King Suite, a better fit since their reservation was for 2 people + 2 dogs and they arrived with 3 people + 2 dogs. The next day they were moved... More

What a great place. Diane and Dawn, the owners are so nice. Very dog friendly. Along with our breakfast that was brought to our room every morning, our dogs were given 2 milk bones as well. And they remembered that we had one big dog and one small and brought them 2 different size bones. Charming rooms and I will... More
