“What a great stay on a beautiful property!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 28, 2012

We spent one night of our honeymoon in Half Moon Bay and WOW we were glad we did! The innkeepers let us check in early and we immediately took a nap to recover from traveling down the coast. Service was fantastic...every detail was considered, from the complimentary drinks in the room to the chocolate chip cookies, the evening fruit and cheese tray, books of DVDs to choose from, private use of the hot tub, breakfast brought to your room if you prefer, and on and on. We reserved the smallest room on the property to cut costs, but it was a lovely space. The only slight problem was trying to figure out where to put the luggage. One of the bags ended up in the bathroom, which was very large. We had a private door leading to the back patio and hot tub, which was lit up and landscaped beautifully. We would love to return to Half Moon Bay in the future, and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

“Half Moon Bay gem”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 21, 2012

Although we live only a few miles away, driving from sunny Belmont to foggy HMB, we escape to a whole different world and climate. Our stay at the Mill Rose Inn B&B was relaxing, quiet and thoroughly enjoyable. All amenities included...decanters of sherry and brandy on the antique desk, beer, wine and water in the frig, wi-fi, cookies, cake,cheese and coffee available in the dining room all day long. Beautiful hot tub surrounded by plants and flowers in a gazebo setting. Amazingly delicious breakfasts! Terry, the host, very friendly. Abundant flowers in the garden give the feeling you are in the English countryside when Main street is only 2 blocks away for strolling. We brought our bikes to pedal along the coast trail which leads to Princeton-by-the-Sea, home of Maverick's surfing mecca, and yummy seafood at Barbara's Fishtrap.

“Immaculate, charming, luxurious, romantic and fun”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 30, 2012

This is an extraordinary inn.
Absolutely beautiful - - the design, the furnishings, the gardens, the details. Everything you see and feel and smell reflects the owners' exquisite taste. The beds, the rooms, the setting could not be more comfortable. Everything is immaculate - I've never seen such attention to detail; even the housekeepers are more rigorous and attentive than others.
The inn has an enormous selection of wonderful, hard-to-find DVDs.
Our room was quiet and romantic and absolutely wonderful.
Terry and Eve could not be more generous and helpful. Refreshments are available all day and evening, including delicious and imaginative home-baked cakes and cookies.
The inn is a two-minute walk from stores and restaurants, including at least one terrific restaurant with excellent food at a great value -- and three bookstores!

“Great location in Half Moon Bay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 18, 2012

We had the least expensive suite at the Mill Rose Inn which is in the main house so you do hear people arriving to check in which wasn't really a problem. It was quite nice albeit jam packed with furniture. The queen size bed was comfy, the amenities plentiful and complimentary, the private (by reservation) hot tub relaxing, the breakfasts delicious and satisfying, easy street parking, and an easy walk to the village of Half Moon Bay shops and restaurants make this a great place to stay. The gardens are also spectacular. The place is VERY over the top in terms of the decor, but that is to be expected with the Inn's theme. The owners have large poodles on the premises which may be a concern to dog haters.
