We stayed one night - it was quiet, bed was comfortable, fireplace in the room. bkfst consisted of eggs, two small sausage patties, potatoes, yogurt with fruit, orange juice, and coffee. It also had a nice outdoor space with free wine.

Nice overall. Walls were very thin you could hear everything out side of the room. Area was nice enough, everything closed early. Recommend Cameron’s Pub down the street and Pasta Moon for dinner was great! Hiking was close as were the beaches.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Nice facility, room was well stocked, extra blankets provided, heater provided, and nice complimentary wine at the common area. To make this a 5-star is to stock the soap dispenser at the shower area, fix the broken hook on the back of the bathroom door, and make the breakfast just a little bit more fancy and unique.

We absolutely loved this stay! The room was spacious with cozy vibes and the seating area right outside our room would be perfect for a nice day! Would definitely stay again. Plus the breakfast in bed was a perfect start to our morning!

Sweet Bed & Breakfast

Lovely Inn that's actually a Bed & Breakfast! The service was fantastic- from the Emily at check in to the hostess at breakfast. They were delightful. The location is great - not in the middle of Main St where the foot traffic is, but super close to walk to everything on Main St.

Clean and well-appropriated.

Impeccable taste in decor. Attention to detail in service and amenities. Our one concern— our room had a claw foot tub, but no access to soap or body wash. All other details, even including cork screw and champagne stopper in the room— were outstanding.

This property was awesome! We loved so much about it! Super clean, very quaint, so adorable, close to Half Moon Bay Main Street with cute shops and restaurants. The staff was sooo nice and we got our own tour of the property and our room and anything else we would need. The breakfast was so wonderful. Would definitely recommend this place!!!

Lovely clean place to stay and friendly accommodating staff! The fireplace and access to water/wine/teas/coffee was such a nice touch and made for a cozy and relaxing night. I stayed in the Sankaty Head room and the only complaints are this room is next to the front door so you will hear people coming/going and I found the mattress very lumpy and uncomfortable. Hearing the guest traffic outside my door was honestly manageable but the uncomfortable bed made for a sleepless night. I will definitely be back but will be booking one of the rooms that cite comfortable beds in the review.
