Opinions CHESHIRE CAT Santa Barbara

Perfect weekend

I wanted to surprise my wife with a quick overnight getaway to Santa Barbara. We have a 11 month old daughter and I booked a room through their website.. I misunderstood their child policy and when we arrived they informed us that only their large cottage rooms allow children and not the small room I booked. I was fully prepared to go somewhere else as this was totally my fault. But the owner instead upgraded us to a larger room that would work for us at no extra charge. We are extremely grateful for his hospitality. This place is absolutely amazing, very clean, and tidy. We enjoyed our stay and their breakfast continental was delicious. All their staff was very very kind and helpful.. their text app is amazing as well. Overall I highly recommend this place to stay.

We absolutely love this place!! 2nd time staying here and want to stay in every room! Great location for some State St. Fun. Just a wonderful place with wonderful people.

We stayed here 20 years ago and it is still as charming as ever. The staff is wonderful. They serve a lovely breakfast. Overall, good value!

SPECTACULAR

Ein schönes Haus mit tollem Garten. Die Inhaber waren außerordentlich freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück war sehr gut. Ein Ort zum wohlfühlen.

Wife and I did one night get-away to Santa Barbara. Our first time staying here at Cheshire. Cute room with patio. Comfortable bed. The room was musty and needed air, so we kept the windows open which helped to keep it fresh. The room entry was a cute Dutch door entry. Good breakfast served on the veranda right outside our room. Friendly staff and management. Great parking. Will stay here again after Covid shut down is finished and they have completely restored their services such as evening wine, etc.

Un bel B&B situato in posizione centrale a Santa Barbara. Personale delizioso e colazione ottima

I struggled so hard with leaving a review because this place is SO good! I want it to be the best kept secret but they also deserve the kudos. Everything: the gorgeous rooms, friendliness, amazing hospitality, the garden, the AMAZING home-cooked breakfasts, location...it truly checked all of the boxes for us. We will come back sooner than later.

The breakfast was poor. No chance to get an extra toast. For a long days drive we expect more. Other places were more generous.

We stayed in the White Rabit Room for 2 nights in early July. We loved it! Here are our highlights.

#1 - Upon arrival, we were met in the courtyard (let us check in a little early). They knew who we were, gave us a brief tour, showed us our room and provided recommendations for our stay. Top notch welcome.

#2 - Breakfast was fantastic! Best quiche I've ever had. Fruit/granola/yogurt followed by 2 choices of main dish every morning. We shared each entree, so we got to try everything. Delicious!

#3 - The room had a lovely layout with plenty of room to relax. Great shower/water pressure. The deck added a nice touch to relax during the evening. Perfect bed.

#4 - Location was ideal. 2 blocks from Main St. 1 block from ebike rentals. For us, we felt everything was within walking distance. Tranquil. We spent almost every day walking the less than 2 mile stretch to the beach. Beautiful scenery. And we were always welcomed in the courtyard when we returned by our host - asking about our day.

PS - don't miss their fresh chocolate chip cookies they set out every afternoon. We definitely ate a few.

Great service, friendly and helpful staff, lovely range of breakfast (blueberry french toast was superb). Our bedroom had blinds which didn't quite keep out the light so a sleep mask is useful. Wonderful visit to Santa Barbara would love to come back.

Very nice place! We went there 35 years ago. Same owners, rooms are cozy and clean. Easy check in and out.

This place is a gem. The location is very nice and close enough to State St. to enjoy Downtown but tucked away enough to be quiet. The service and staff were amazing. After a small glitch at check-in, it was handled to beyond our expectations. The breakfast in the morning was a welcome tasty meal and made you feel at home. We would definitley recommend this place.

Nice bedrooms and service
