Even if you are not traveling with your pet, you will like this place because it is quiet, comfortable and close to downtown. It is walking distance to the beach.
We loved the place because they made our dogs feel really welcome. They even have a hose and towels to rinse your dogs after they have been to the beach! Carmel is a wonderful place to vacation with your pet because there are so many off leash parks, state parks and, of course, the beach. Many of the restaurants have outdoor seating that allows pets, but the inn will give you a list of recommended pet sitters who will come and watch your dog(s) in your room for you while you dine out alone! This gave us the best of both worlds - we could take our dogs with us on vacation but had the freedom to go out without them.

We have spent Christmas in this lovely Inn and it was a true treat. Cozy, tasteful and friendly. Delicious breakfast with lots of options, great location - every morning sunrise had a rainbow. We are avid animal lovers but unfortunately allergic to dog/cat hair but it wasn't a problem at all in this pet friendly Inn because they keep it spotlessly clean. Wonderful experience all around. Two thumbs up!

Our travelling party of us two from London and two friends from Florida found this place online and thought the accommodation offered would suit our purpose - but we didn't expect such a lovely place! It is tucked away off the main drag but it's a pleasant walk both to the beach and to the town centre. The breakfast is lovely and afternoon tea and snacks were available from 4 to 8 pm each day. Everyone was very pleasant and we really enjoyed our stay - it's where we will stay if we return to Carmel.

They really understand their guests and make you feel so welcomed and special. This place is a real charm within easy walking distant to the main districts and beaches of Carmel, note: we live in San Francisco and are use to walking.
The rooms are beautifully appointed with lovely amenities. The style is country, not my usual taste but well suited. Very comfortable beds and the updated bathrooms really make it a hit.
The breakfast offers so many lovely pastries as well as quiche and oatmeal, fruits and breads, etc. (unfortunately the spinach quiche lacked a bit of flavor).
The breakfast room welcomes your dogs and they appreciate it, along with the dog biscuits available. You can also fill a tray to take back to your room.
A DVD library is available and they can also provide wine and cheese platters, a clam bake basket and more.
We opted for the suite, separate living room area and bedroom, very comfortable. We also had a dedicated parking space right in front of our room.
Definitely worth looking into for your next stay.
