Our Santa Barbara bed and breakfast offers 15 rooms, suites and cottages featuring generous amenities, warm inviting décor and furnishings, complemented by our hallmark service. Strikingly decorated with an authentic Victorian wallpaper the Victorian Estate Home features king and queen beds, clawfoot tubs and private decks.
The carefully restored barn blends the elegance of the old with the luxury of the new. The Weathervane and Hayloft Rooms, upstairs and Tack Room and Carriage Rooms, downstairs, feature antique pine floors and Oriental rugs. French doors open onto private decks overlooking the bed and breakfast gardens. Each suite has a king bed, a loveseat by the wood burning fireplace and antique furniture.
The Abbeywood, Greenwich and Plumstead cottages have been crafted to reflect the luxurious elegance. Each one opens onto a private intimate fountain courtyard where you can linger over breakfast. These Santa Barbara cottages also feature antique canopied queen featherbeds, loveseats by wood burning fireplaces, and an in-room Jacuzzi tub for luxuriating. Teak hardwood floors complement the Oriental rugs and antique furniture.
