We stayed four nights at the Lavender Inn in August 2007. The room was very comfortable and spacious. The decor was shabby chic, but very clean. Breakfasts were tasty, timely and generous with a crustless quiche, muffins, fruit & yogurt, cereals, hard-boiled eggs, juice and coffee. Afternoons featured red and white wine and veggies and cheese. A couple of days a local winery brought in wines for tasting. Coffee seemed to be available 24/7. A pool is available at the Maison Fluerie, Lavendar's sister inn, just a short walk away. Marian, the afternoon/evening manager was very friendly, chatty and helpful. The setting is great -- far enough away from 29 to be quiet, but walking distance to the French Laundry, Bouchon, Bistro Jeanty and Redd. We've stayed at a number of B&Bs in the US and in Europe and can highly recommend Lavender Inn.

The Lavender Inn was a cosy find in the beautful town of Yountville in the centre of the Napa valley. We had a courtyard cottage that was just right for our needs and the inn is very local to some great restaurants. Wine and hors d'oeurves are served in the afternoons and fresh cooked breakfast items are also available each morning. The free wireless internet proved problematic but not enough to spoil our stay and the only real downside was that we couldn't stay for longer....

We booked in here for 2 nights at the beginning of July & were greeted by exceptionally friendly Marion on front desk, who was only to happy to help finalize details of our balloon ride next morning & show us to our room. We had room #7, with the outdoor tub - fantastic, altho it does slightly limit your view of outside world, but there are plenty of seats & a swing chair on the front deck to relax on instead. Bed was really comfy, actual room was a little smaller & darker than I had imagined & we had a fire place that we'd never need, as the room was very warm (air con only cools to about 75F). Great breakfast & lovely afternoon wine tasting & cheese. Walking distance to all intown eateries & a stones throw from The French Laundry (if ur feeling very fancy!). If you need swiming pool, you can walk to their sister hotel for a cooling splash. It reminded me of a typical English B&B - a lovely retreat for a few days away.

We got the Lavender recommended by a friend and we truly loved every minute we spent there. First of all, we got a special deal on their website - so check out for special deals - and saved around 100 USD/night. I would recommend you to stay in a cottage if possible, they are pretty new and absolutely nicely decorated. You have plenty of room, a small garden to yourself and a great bathroom. It was just wonderful. Yountville is also a nice town for a walk, especially after some heavy wine tasting. Breakfast was great, the inn keepers very friendly and nice. Apparently, the Lavender belongs to a chain of B&Bs and the only point we did not like that much is the fact that they serve the same wine in all the B&Bs which means at the 4.30pm wine & cheese tasting, they could not serve any wine from Napa valley. Other than that, it was truly heaven on earth.
