There's so many good things to say about this place. If you like a low key, cozy, quiet and intimate place to stay with a special someone, this is the place to be.

I've never stayed at a B&B before, and since my bf and I were on a budget, we opted to try this out. What a pleasant surprise it was!

To start off, they only have 2 rooms. Mind you though, it's not just any room. This place is at par with 3-4 star hotels because of the service and attention to detail. You don't have to bring anything because they think of everything! From fluffy bathrobes and fuzzy slippers, to soft comfy bed with a thousand pillows, complimentary candies (bowls and bowls)and cookies, even popcorn, dental floss, couple bottles of wine!!, cans of soda and juice...yeah they're free!

Eleanor together with her hubby Bill are the innkeepers and they make sure everything is going great during your stay.

They have a welcome wine and cheese tray during your arrival. Although my bf and I didn't get the time to have this wine and cheese because we were running late for our hearst castle tour, they ask when the most convenient time is for you to have it.

Okay, so they keep you happy and fat! In the morning, they bring you a 'pre-breakfast' tray with your favorite hot beverage, some fruits and a big pastry to share with your hunny. Then breakfast is served at the common kitchen at 9am and be prepared to skip lunch. Eleanor makes a wonderful breakfast. During our stay, we had scrambled eggs, fresh fruit salad, homemade quiche, her special olalieberry french toast (5 stars!), ham, potatoes, and then there's toast. I might missed out a few but here's a guarantee--you won't leave hungry! You can even request something for breakfast, and she's gonna insist you speak up. There were so much food on the table, we really couldn't think of anything else.

The room also had cable tv for the couch potato..but really, in a pretty place like Cambria and nearby Paso Robles where there's so much to do, who'd stay indoors during the day? They absolutely made our first B&B experience something to look forward to in our future travels.

My husband and I flew into San Luis Obispo on 11.14.07. We needed a one night stay in Cambria before we headed to Hearst Castle and then up Rt. 1 to San Fran. We read the reviews about this place and it seemed well worth a try.

Upon arrival, we toured the grounds and found it to be artsy and welcoming. The owner has little nick-nacks and treasures all over. We were welcomed with a wonderful tray of snacks (cheese, crackers, dip, chocolates) and wine. Ah, what a fantastic way to start our vacation. There is a private and peaceful deck off the back of the king suite where we enjoyed the treats. Afterwards, we headed off to Sow's Ear (WOW!!! - a must try) for dinner. And then to top off the long day of traveling, we climbed into a soft, luxurious king size bed. If you wanted a mint/chocolate on your pillow, you don't have to reach far, there is food all around the room for your consumption.

In the morning, we got up early to go to the Hearst Castle. The owners were kind enough to get up early enough to drop off tea and a continental breakfast at our door. And yes, I had more relaxing time on the deck with some tea. About an hour later, we were served a feast of delicious foods - my favorite was the french toast with Ollalieberry (sp??). Yummy.

Did I mention the endless food and drinks? We were told to take snacks and drinks from the room for our trip North. What a great idea and no additional charge! There are endless maps, books, and brochures to read (and take with you) on the area.

Thank you again and again. We hope to come back soon and spend more time.

This is an incredible experience. Classes should be given to show others how to give service like this. Every need has been anticipated. Wow! I can't say enough good things about the place and the people. No KIDDING! How impressive.

Our 2 night stay was memorable. An evening welcome with wine and cheese, a pre-breakfast tray of tea/coffee, bakery and fruit followed by a gourmet breakfast. Every attention to detail to make us feel special and pampered. All the little extras that you only find in a top notch B&B. We found Her Castle on the internet and are so glad we made the choice to stay there. It's a gem.

Truly the best ever.
Someone said the rooms are in the basement.
they are in the lower level of the house with a private entrance but the entrance is from a deck with a view down the hill of fruit trees and flowers. I wouldn't call it a basement.
The best breakfasts we have ever had. beautiful room with a great bed, spotlessly clean, coffee and rolls at 7 am by your door, breakfast time at your convience, cookies before bedtime.
Just wonderful.
