Caroline was so sweet and showed us to our room. It was such a beautiful room. So glad we stayed at this bed and breakfast definitely will come back when we visit SB again. Miss it already

Cheshire Cat Inn Woodford Cottage kitchen

The Cheshire Cat Inn is a delightful bed & breakfast located near the upper end of State Street just over a half mile from the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. The Inn is themed around Alice in Wonderland and features 14 guest rooms plus 4 cottages. My wife and I stayed two nights en route to a wedding in SoCal, and another night during our return trip to the Bay Area. We lodged in the Woodford Cottage during our trip to SoCal. It was nicely appointed and super clean. Our hosts, Caroline and Andrea, greeted us warmly and they were very accommodating throughout our stay at the Inn. They made every effort to ensure our stay was comfortable and relaxing. Our cottage was spacious... 628 square feet... and clean. The morning meal features either a Continental breakfast or a warm dish like Quiche Lorraine. Our breakfast also included some local history and Santa Barbara lore provided by the Inn's owner and chef, Simon... entertaining and informative. The homey vibe and friendly staff made our visit a memorable one. We will return. Did I mention the Inn is very clean? P.S. During our drive back to the Bay Area, my wife received a text saying that the staff had found her necklace. The necklace she didn't know was missing until she got the text. Thanks, Cheshire Cat.

Backyard patio. Just lovely!

Wonderful stay! Absolutely wonderful stay. We stayed in the Woodford cottage, which I recommend! It's your own little house to yourself. The main house was also beautiful with a lovely back garden. The cottage had 2 bedroom, kitchen living room! VERY CLEAN! Quiet, safe neighborhood! Host were lovely and breakfast every morning was fresh and delicious! Very close to everything but far away to be nice and quiet. If you need a place to stay in Santa Barbara stay here!!

We had such a great time here! Everyone was so nice, breakfast was delicious, communication was great and they answered all my questions. We are definitely coming back here. It's a few blocks away from State st. where all the action is but the area where the Inn is is so tranquil and relaxing. They have good quality toiletries, nice hot running water, coffee and water stations downstairs. You don't need anything else. There's a guest book in the room where we stayed and it was so touching and special to read others stories from past stays and then write our own!

We loved the antiquity with modern conveniences and the references to the storied cat. The rooms are charming. The staff is efficient and pleasant. The breakfasts are scheduled by you (with only two options*) and they are well prepared. The gardens around the manor are beautiful and well maintained. There is a parking area off the street. The A/C got us through a warmer than expected spell, and the patio off of the room is a great place for reading. The location is off of the busy main drag, with walking distance to many of the restaurants. We would stay here again, next time we are in Santa Barbara. *Our only complaint was the lack of "cheese less" breakfast items.

Very cute hotel and kind staff. We were in the Mock Turtle room - it was perfect for a couple. We were able to walk down state street to dine and explore. They also had a nice courtyard and breakfast was included. I would recommend the inn to SB visitors.

性价比还可以 类似民宿 远离热闹的街区 晚上很安静 距离海边East/West Beach单程大概40分钟步行距离 没有前台 简单的两栋双层楼 房间用钥匙锁门 楼下Guest Entrance要输密码才能进 入住时间比较随意 工作人员会提前通过短信确认到达时间 提供洗发水/护发素/沐浴露/肥皂/身体乳/吹风机 有空调 枕头不舒服 床的软硬度还行 每天都有免费早餐 会提前收到短信告知第二天早上可供选择的食物 出餐速度慢 量也给的少 (可颂/法式吐司/Shakshouka北非蛋/水果麦片希腊酸奶碗 橙汁/咖啡/茶) 应该都是超市买来的速成品 垫垫肚子再出门觅食

Breakfast delivered to our room!

We had a great stay! All of the staff are so kind and helpful, the property is beautiful, our room was perfect, and breakfast was delicious.

Cheshire Cat Inn is your home away from home. We enjoyed our stay and hopefully can come back soon. The place is in a quiet neighboorhood and is walking distance to State street where alot of shops and restaurants are. Highly recommend the place. Andrea and Simon are very graceful and accomodating.

Mattress topper was a tad lumpy... no A/C... but (upper level) room cooled down after opening some windows. No coffee maker... no cups, plates, utensils (this room had a semi kitchenette with microwave) which at this price point should be a standard amenity. Staff is very pleasant and the morning breakfast items were good. We didnt have the opportunity to take part of the evening wine & cheese hour.

Dan, the front desk person at check-in, was so informative and friendly--he really seemed to love his job, which set a positive tone right away. The hotel offers a wine and cheese hour and has cozy fire pits, which was such a nice touch. Our room was actually better than expected--the bed was comfortable, though I do think the pillows could use an upgrade. The only downside is that there's no AC, but they do provide portable fans, which worked out fine for us. One thing I really appreciated was how clean the place was. I noticed throughout the day that the staff worked hard to keep everything spotless and welcoming. Overall, it turned out to be a pleasant stay, much better than I had imagined.

Check in was such a breeze, the Inn test you to pre check in closer to your check in time, check in is 4pm but you can get an early check in at 1pm $10.00 and 2pm for $20,00 plus $ 18.00 a day for parking. When we arrival Adrian and Stephanie the front desk staff both were very welcoming and extremely friendly helpful info. they both went above and beyond which enjoyable, after checking you get to pick two alcohol baverges, there isn't breakfast here but there is a coffee bar that is open 24/7 that has 3 type of coffee, a variety of different teas, Instant oatmeal, fruits and a veriety of cookies daily as well. The room was clean with nice deco with a few extra items that made this stay some what special, the bed was very comfortable and a mini bar in the room (not free) Mont wine $21.00 and Mason water $6.00 was on the table we did not partake, our room came without a micowave and fridge I had to order them, they were in the room when I got there, and last the heated pool and jacuzzi area have a beautiful landscaping about 5 to 6 table and chairs in a covered courtyard. I would definitely recommendation Mason Beach Inn and can't wait to return. Oh I did meet the general manger Miguel Cuellar who was also very nice plus pass on some helpful Info.

Staff were friendly and sufficient at their jobs. The spa was leaking out into the courtyard and needs some kind of repair. The location is really good, close to the pier and everything else in this small beach town. Definitely walkable with restaurants and the beach so close. Parking was affordable at $14 compared to some hotels down the street asking $30 per night. We didn't have any issues, everything worked well. We had a lovely stay and would definitely come back. It was somewhat the off season and prices weren't too bad, they are much pricier in the summer.

Summerland Room #5…read more Pro: -ample parking -Room size is decent compared to other hotels. It as fireplace and an AC system window unit. (It is pretty loud though. Had to turn it on in short bursts because of how loud it was.) -Mini fridge gets drinks nice and cold (very rare these days) Pillows are VERY soft but hold their shape Cons: -Right next to the freeway. I wish I had listened to other reviews and stayed somewhere else. It was loud the entire time but the hotel did provide complimentary ear plugs. And there is a train that comes by that is even louder. -Paid for an Oceanfront View but in the pictures you'll see that from the patio, those hedges are too high for an unobstructed view of the ocean so try to get a balcony room for a better view. -No WIFI -Rooms could use a refresh. They are a bit dated. *I would probably give this hotel a rating closer to 3.5 but the husband and I were the only guests this day so it was nice of the staff to still put out the complimentary wine and snacks for us. Also the next morning the chef pretty much just made breakfast for us and it was tasty.

They also have nice extras like complementary breakfast, afternoon happy hour (wine and cheese and crackers) and later dessert, as long as you book directly on their website. Walking distance to all the cute boutiques Cafés and shops in Summerland. It is very close to the freeway, and you hear the freeway noise throughout, but they have a white sound machine playing in the room, which was actually very thoughtful. They have a nice Jacuzzi too. Totally recommend and will return!
