We booked the Inn by telephone and arrived to find we were booked in for 2 nights - not 1 as we had thought. This meant a bit of a frosty welcome!
The room was well equipped although it smelt a little strange and we had not quite expected the breakfast format of muffins and fruit already in the room when you arrive and make your own coffee so nowhere to meet other guests. If you want a proper breakfast don't go here.
That said it was good value for money compared to the expensive hotels in central mendocino and a short drive from the town.

Management response from DeLeMendocino, Manager
(Management representative)
Sep 21, 2008
Sorry for the confusion, but the facts of the matter are that we have a two night minimum on Summer weekends, as do all Inns on the coast, and we were with in our rights to charge for the second night but did not.

Also, we have never claimed to offer a full breakfast, most people seem happy with their homemade bread, cookies and fresh fruit.

Read about the Blackberry on trip advisor and was not disappointed. It was quiet and clean, cozy and charming. We rented Harleys in San Jose and drove up the coast, a long ride but very scenic and quite cold being from Florida. We got there around dusk and saw the biggest skunks we had ever seen running around the woods. The office manager was very friendly and recommended places to eat in town, about 5 minutes away. We had the Sherrifs room with a nice jacuzzi tub and slight view of the ocean. Bed was comfy. They even gave us a small bottle of wine since I mentioned it was our 5th anniversary, as a matter of fact they gave the other people who came with us wine too. We lit a fire and enjoyed the cool air and sound of the ocean. The next morning my husband said he saw two huge bucks on the lawn. The inn provides a basket of fuit, muffins and brownies for breakfast and a coffe/tea/hot chocolate assortment. The flowers are beautiful on the grounds and I almost forgot the nice soap they provide in the rooms!

Great place to stay while in Mendocino. I stayed in the Gazette room. The price was very reasonable. They provided us with fresh banana nut muffins and fruit each morning. They also placed Hershey's kisses on the beds. Overall, the service was great and the people at the front desk are very friendly. Next time I go back to Mendocino, I will definitely stay at the Blackberry Inn.

We took a trip with my parents and my girlfriend to Mendocino and spent two nights in the Storybook cottage owned by the Blackberry Inn.

The Storybook cottage is a separate house in forest with its own garden. We arrived at the Inn first, to check in and were welcomed with a great fruit and pastry basket. We got the keys and drove to the cottage. The cottage looked great. We had amazing two days. It was one of our best vacations. The jakuzi in the master bedroom was also nice. You feel like this cottage is owned by you. It is such an amazing place. There is more to this place than just the amanities. This is almost a magical place. We loved it, hope you do too.

I have never stayed in an American bed and breakfast before and I did not know what to expect. From arriving to a very warm welcome, to admiring the beautiful grounds, enjoying a great night's sleep in a four poster bed to eating every bit of a wonderful breakfast...........it was all first class. Stayed for 2 nights and my only regret is that could not stay longer. The owner was charming and took enormous trouble over everything. Absolutely 5*****
