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.

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 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!!!

After a couple of busy days in LA, we checked in at the Cheshire Cat Inn & cottage, we stayed in one of the 2 bedroom cottages, we felt straight away that 1 night is too short, so extended with another night. The owners of this place really do care and go over and beyond. The interiors is gorgeous, so clean, comfortable beds and amazing breakfast! We travel a lot and have stayed in many hotels, but this accommodation is definitely one of my top 10 stays!
