best B and B anywhere
 

What bed and breakfast and what city? Any special things you loved about your stay? We are always looking for b and bs to stay in. Thanks

I just remembered it today, answering another post. The Griffin Inn at Greenwood Cove in Elk, California, the northern coast en route to Montecito. 8 or so little cottages perched hanging out over the sea, clawfoot bathtubs with ocean view, wood burning stoves, Victorian brass bed and the best of all....a full gourmet breakfast delivered to your front porch at the hour of your choosing. And very affordable!

PS go to www.griffinn.com and ask for Matson Cottage..the best!

sounds like somebody is trying to promote there own stupid b and b. Nice try creep.

the second post was certainly written by the first post.

We liked the Bed and Breakfast Inn at La Jolla. Nice garden area, beautiful rooms, wonderful breakfast on pretty china. Somewhat expensive. We have stayed in some for less, but this one was the most charming.

I stayed at the Griffin Inn about 15 years ago. I don't know if it had the same name then but I certainly recognized the pictures on the website. It is a truly remarkable place in a stunning location. I doubt that the "super slow lane" is promoting their own inn. Not much to do in Elk but Mendocino is up the road a ways.

I stayed at the Griffin Inn a couple of years ago and couldn't have had a worse stay. One step above summer camp.

I live in Brazil and am not in the B&B business! super slow lane is what Elk is...very slow paced. The person who didn't like it must have stayed at a different Griffin Inn, not the one in Elk.

My wife and I stayed at the Griffin Inn in ELK early last summer.<BR>Both of agree that it was pretty much a disappointment and a waste of our money. Also our room smelled like cat unrine. We asked for another room and discovered beer cans under the bed, in a drawer, and behind the toilet!!

Montecito on the coast is near Santa Barbara not near Elk which is near Mendocino. Very different locations and climates.

Inn at Depot Hill is very nice. Capitola by the Sea, CA.

The Swag

Where is The Swag?

The Marquesa in Key West. Key West has several very good B&amp;B's.

In order to know what the best B&amp;B is anywhere you would have to stay in a lot of them, wouldn't you? Every small town and big city and country lane has a B&amp;B in it or nearby. How could anyone know what is the best ANYWHERE? Any what are you looking for? I've stayed in one where city people could bring their kids for a little farmette experience with sheep and goat and a horse, etc. out back. They also had an awesome unique guitar collection mounted on the hallway walls. Now how could you compare that to a really neat Victorian manor filled up with wonderful antiques in a historic city location.

The Swag is in/near Asheville, North Carolina.<BR><BR>I once got called a 'ho' by a B&amp;B owner. My husband came up to surprise me (I was on business) and the owner thought I was turning tricks in her B&amp;B. Never again.

Good story 3x. LOL

So when you explained the part about it being your husband she was apologetic or what? Would love to hear more. Love the B &amp; B stories. People are sooooo quirky about &quot;their&quot; space!!!!

What happened was I was on business with a girlfriend (seperate rooms) we were leaving the B&amp;B for an early breakfast meeting. I left my husband in the room and he was soaking in a bubble bath (it is 7:00 AM in the morning). She walks in on husband and loses it. Thinks I am a hooker. Meanwhile, I am in the street loading my breifcase in the trunk and she comes out on the porch and starts screaming at me. All the neighbors are wide awake and outside by this point. My girlfreind is laughing so hard she is peeing. Needless to say we checked out shortly after.

Did you tell her that as a hooker you provide the unique service of allowing bubble baths to your Johns? What an idiot she must have been. Did you totally enjoy the satisfaction of explaing to her that it was your husband so she could do the Emily Latella (Gilda Radner on Saturday Night Live), &quot;Never mind&quot;

Winward House in Camden Maine. Stayed in 3rd floor room. Didn't mind the slope ceiling - room was large enough. Very easy, short walk to shops and marina. Flowers across the front of it and the B&amp;B next door were breathtaking. Great value for what you got at the time (few years ago). Breakfast was delicious. You sat at your own table yet nearby others. Nice. Was beautifully decorated. Had Trisha Romance (Canadian artist) prints - awesome. The prints may no longer be there since owner has since changed. ONLY negative would be truck noise at night since you are in town, but not significant. It was an unusually warm Aug. so we had window open. Otherwise, may have not heard truck traffic.

Also, recently stayed at:<BR>Two Meeting Street Inn on the battery in Charleston, SC - charming, gracious staff, greats food, you'll be delighted. Awesome and accurate pics on thier website. (Don't confuse w/ Meeting Street Inn - an annoying piggybacker) <BR><BR>John Rutledge House in Charleston, SC - owner in same family, stately, tasteful conservative decor, very nice rooms, long walk to 3rd floor where rooms were more mediocre but nothing to complain about, afternoon tea generous and delicious, built and lived in by one of the framers of the Declaration of Independence, great location.<BR><BR>Foley House Inn in Savannah, GA. Wonderful in every detail. Beautifully decorated, gracious staff (innkeeper was away). Courtyard room was utterly charming and far superior to more expensive rooms. Windows overlook courtyard and one door opens onto it. Courtyard room far more appealing in person than on website. Lots of little extras. <BR><BR>Saw award-winning courtyard of Sundial Inn of Caramel, CA a few years ago. Located in town, good value, would love to stay.
