Location was nice, walkable to downtown Santa Barbara but nice and quiet. Breakfast choices were good. Room and communal facilities were comfortable and staff friendly and helpful. Garden was very nice. Parking was good but sometimes they ran out of space so we had to find road parking. The rooms were just a little dated but very clean. There was no lift, which may be a problem for someone with luggage (there are only two floors).

Beautiful Woodard cottage for our family of 4. Drive way is in front of the cottage’ front door, so convenient. Has a private back patio, full kitchen, King bec and queen bed in the two bedrooms. Soft pillows but very firm mattresses. We would highly recommend this place. The breakfast was included and two choices were given the night before. A text chain is established at check in for your every need to be met. Really great service by Andrea, Carolyn and Simon.

We really enjoyed our stay at Cheshire's Cat Inn! We felt like we were transported to England. The B & B was decorated so adorably with artifacts from the U.K. in Alice's Wonderland theme. The staff is remarkably friendly and helpful. They reached out on our arrival day for our ETA and made sure they greeted us and showed us around upon arrival. They offered several options for breakfast, which is simply delicious and exquisite (we got to eat in the beautiful garden). We were also granted a late check out. Our only issue is that the facility is on the older side and our beds were a bit squeaky and the AC was not functioning at its best. That said, we would definitely stay again at this beautiful inn!
