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!

We absolutely loved Cheshire Cat Inn! It’s a gorgeous property, all the rooms are themed and nicely furnished. We had the ‘Alice’ room which had a balcony overlooking the beautiful gardens. The hosts were all so lovely and they provide a home cooked breakfast, freshly baked cookies and tea and coffee is always available. It’s also walking distance to Santa Barbara shops and restaurants. We loved it.

We had an amazing weekend! My husband (David) planned this weekend for Mother’s Day and included my mom and dad. We brought our e-bikes and ride all over town and up and down State Street. I location is fabulous! Something to note…the customer service. In times like now I feel that is lacking nearly everywhere but when we showed up we were greeted at THE CURB and walked to our rooms, shown all the amenities and explained where breakfast was and what would be served (which breakfast by the way…FABULOUS). The cookies the chef laid out each day we were there is something I still crave! I can’t wait for our next trip to Santa Barbara just so we can stay here! Oh! And they upgraded our room because it was available…for free! 5 stars!!!

Relax in style. Lovely space with conveniences
Delightful and welcoming innkeeper in this historic Inn, complete with private bathrooms including modern fixtures. Super responsive to requests and special needs. Alice in Wonderland theme throughout main house showcases elegant memorabilia, fireplace, bay windows, and period furnishings/artwork. Fabulous garden replete with active fountain, mature rose bushes, fabulous pelargonium, fuchsia, lantana and various succulents Terrific indoor outdoor flow although it was not sunny during my late "May Grey" visit. Well endowed coffee/tea self service set up in secondary building on site, with excellent high end breakfast served at client's convenience. Great choices of main course, and fabulous granola with fresh fruit starter. Safe parking on site. Easily accessible to downtown, just a mile to the Saturday farmer's market and fantastic restaurants/breweries/music venues/festivals downtown. Super fast wifi and solid viewing on TV including ESPN for us sports fans.
