“A favorite!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 20, 2012

We have had the privilege of staying at the Santa Ynez Inn more than once and it is always a wonderful experience. Great breakfasts, service and beautiful rooms. It has never disappointed. It is luxury at it's best.

“I would rather vacation here than anywhere else.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 7, 2012 via mobile

There is not much more to say, that hasn't already been said. We have stayed here more than several times and have always had an incredible experience. We are foodies and always enjoy the meals that are served. The breakfast is always extremely well prepared. Make sure you try the homemade granola mix. Their desserts are always a surprise and out of the ordinary. The rooms are gorgeous. I would love to have my bedrooms fashioned just like them. The service is top notch. For the person knocking the Inn down points for not having a valet....this is a bed and breakfast. They don't usually have valets. However, when you check in, they will always ask if you would like help with your bags. This means that they will go get them from your car. The Inn will always be our haven.

“Second Time Around”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 2, 2012

We had a rare opportunity to take a romantic stay in the Santa Ynez Valley. Of all the things we could have done or places we could have stayed we chose the Santa Ynez Inn. We had stayed there a few years ago and were excited to go back. We had great memories from the previous visit and had hoped this time around would be the same and it was! We strolled through the quaint garden area and enjoyed some quiet time before walking down the street to eat at a wonderful Italian restaurant. The Inn is just such a luxurious place that we came back early just so we could enjoy the room itself. Stunning Victorian style, huge bathroom with a whirlpool tub, and a lovely fireplace kept us lingering in the room. Breakfast is way better than anything you can get at the nearby restaurants--totally gourmet. Hands down the best place to stay in the Santa Ynez Valley.

Room Tip: Not a traditional quaint, kitschy bed and breakfast if that's what you are looking for. Instead...

“Large B &B in the Beautiful Wine Country”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 4, 2012

The Inn is a truly beautiful, well appointed, gracious hotel. The service is wonderful and the staff very accommodating. The rooms are decorated in a Victorian style and the furniture is stunning. Our room had a big jacuzzi tub and a steam shower. The breakfast was awesome, I missed the wine and cheese but the evening desserts was unique.
The only slight negatives were the views aren't great and the beds a little hard. However, I would recommend this to anyone who wants an elegant and relaxing weekend.

Room Tip: If you like a tub, get the room with the jacuzzi tub!

“Great Visit”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 4, 2012

Great service, recomendations were spot on. Beautiful room, whirlpool tub. Balcony, fireplace in August! Close enough to walk to dinner and antique shops. Quiet place to relax and enjoy the views.

Room Tip: Our room was on the east side and it was perfect.
