Location, location, location. Overall, the Inn was beautiful.
Our room was the issue. The bathroom badly needs to be re-grouted and re-caulked. It just looked dirty. Also, there was no furniture in which to unpack. We were traveling for 10 days in total with lots of weather changes and we had to open up our packing cubes and leave them in the suitcases. No matter how organized you are, it’s chaotic trying to find something. Lastly, the little TV has no streaming and was sitting on a stand which is lower than the bed.

Red, white, or beer every day Pre selected breakfast daily. Option delivery to your room or dine in the the dining area. Small facility not a lot of rooms. Not a lot of people or rooms. Next to hiking, trails, and restuarants. Not to far from the Half Moon Bay. The location was a hidden gem. The staff was very warm and friendly.
No safe to put your valuables. There was also no elevator access. The staff leaves at 8 pm - 8 am everyday. There is no air condition in any of the rooms. There was no streaming services available on the TV.

Where to begin. Beautiful architecture, beautiful gardens, beautiful common areas, wonderful staff, more than expected breakfast/amenities, fireplace in our room, walk to the beach absolutely beautiful, tidal pools in Seal Cove breathtaking, sunset breathtaking, wine hour at end of day with seriously quality wines - just, where to begin. I feel so grateful they had a last minute room and we were able to enjoy the property. Only 30 minutes from SFO so we could enjoy the coast, yet get to our flight with ease. Just magical all around. Close to many really good restaurants. Walking paths along the sea just special. We plan a 5 day stay on our next visit. So much to enjoy.
?? what are you talking about??

It was nice having breakfast delivered to our room each morning, they had lots of healthy options to choose from. The room was spacious. The complimentary wine was nice. It is a great location near the ocean with many trees and easy paths to walk on. It's a cute little area that's not far from San Francisco.
I noted that it was a birthday and anniversary celebration at the time of booking the reservation and I mentioned it again at check-in. No one acknowledged that we were there for a special occasion. The bathroom was dated with mold in the grout here and there. It felt like we were given one of the lesser rooms because we booked through Booking.com. The TV was too small for the size of the room, we called it the "Michael Scott" TV.

A secluded inn nestled near the most lovely cypress groves. A short easy walk places you right about the seals that give this place its name. Stacy was delightful, so welcoming and kind and amenities galore. Free cookies on arrival. Wine served early evening and complementary sodas downstairs and on our 2nd floor right down the hall and coffee anytime in the lobby. Breakfast choices are abundant and you can dine in your room or downstairs. The room itself is lovely and comfortable with a cozy gas fireplace and ocean sounds drifting in.
No AC might be a problem once in awhile but they did have fans available downstairs. The TV was teeny tiny and the sound was bad so I used my iPad instead. WiFi was fast so it wasn’t a problem.

The people who run the Inn are truely wonderful. The location is also amazing. Right next to the beach, and from walking distance from a great restaurant. The rooms are spacious, and having a small terrace is great to enjoy the pretty garden. You have little squirls, rabits and birds just a couple of meters away. The breakfast is almost all home made, with consideration of the envirnment, and also the bath supplies were made by locals and smelled fantastic.
It's a fantastic place, but for over 400,- a night the level of luxery could have been better. Also: my room was right across the entrance and everything discussed there was as if the people were in my room.

Charming property next to an amazing trail along the coast. We walked on the trail to Mavericks (there is a section that says "Road Closed" but that is regarding cars and it is open to hikers). You can't see the ocean from the hotel, but the view of the garden and trees is very relaxing. It's also a very easy and quick walk for ocean views. Really enjoyed the complimentary breakfast that can be brought to your room. Also there is complimentary bottled water, soda, coffee and tea available in the lobby at all times. We walked to the Moss Distillery for dinner. Stacey who checked us in was very helpful and told us about the trails and gave us tips. The other staff members we encountered were also very friendly.

We enjoy the tranquil and relaxing atmosphere. We've stayed at the inn several times and will probably go back at some future time. We highly recommend this inn to anyone who wants to relax and enjoy the surroundings of a walking trail and the ocean. It's not an oceanfront property but it only takes a couple minutes walk to be right above the ocean.
They could add some lighting around the sign when turning into the property.

Loved the ambience. felt like I was in the Cotswalds of England. The staff was especially friendly and helpful. Appreciated all their suggestions.
I was a little disappointed in the breakfast although he fruit plate was wonderful. The muffins were good. The minature fritatta type dish did not provide enough protein in my opinion. There are so many interesting breakfast casseroles that one could offer in a larger size serving.

The room was as described on website which has not always been my experience. The staff( Sharon and Mary) were helpful and accommodating. We were treated as family. The inn was close to a preserve so we had walking trails in close proximity. There were several restaurants within a few miles to choose from . My mother in law really appreciated the fireplace and access to beverages when desired . The beds slept well .
The breakfast was very good , plentiful , and the fresh fruit exceptional, but maybe a variety would be nice if staying three days or more.
