Yet another visit to paradise! We visit the Inn at least two or three times a year. It's a place we…read morego to unwind, relax, eat great food, read, talk, take a boat ride along Big River, ride a bike out to the lighthouse, or just sit on the Mendocino bluff with a hot latte bought in town. All of that together adds up to a sort of paradise during these hectic times. There was a big surprise in our room when we arrived and I'm attaching a picture. I had ordered some flowers for the room but what was delivered may have been the most colorful and beautiful flower arrangement that I've ever seen. We didn't know it then, but these flowers were all picked from the Inn grounds. On our way back from our Big River ride we met someone working in the garden. When we chatted it turned out that this person, Cat, had picked and arranged the fantastic bouquet that was in our room. Those flowers kind of symbolizes why we love our visits and the atmosphere at the Inn - one of growth, joy and a deep appreciation of nature. Thank you to all the staff - at the front desk, the restaurant, the room service, the garden keepers, the boat-people, even the cats. We'll be back! Oh, I forgot, on our second night we may have had the best soup ever - a thick mushroom chowder... yummy.

We stayed in the Treehouse room, and it was absolutely gorgeous. They even left a welcome note for us with our names on it. It had a tiny kitchenette with a microwave and fridge, plus everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The room also had coffee, tea, a tea kettle, and a coffee pot, and they even emailed us in advance to ask what type of creamer we wanted in the room, including almond, oat, and half-and-half options. One of our favorite parts was the real wood fireplace. It made the room feel so cozy and special. The bed was also super comfortable and warm, and we fell asleep with the window open, which was perfect. Eric and the team also give guests access to the lobby area, where you can play games, read books, and enjoy homemade cookies and lemon bars that they leave out for everyone. It was such a sweet touch. The entire property is beautiful and open, and there is a short trail down to the beach, about three minutes from the property. Around 5 p.m., we saw locals walking their dogs and hanging out by the beach, which made it feel even more charming and peaceful. Breakfast in the morning was amazing and included with the stay. Eric explained where all the ingredients were from (local) and even accommodated gluten free guests. Overall, Allegra has everything you need, so you really do not need to bring much. It was cozy, welcoming, and such a special place to stay. Big shoutout to Eric who went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable. He drew us a map of local restaurants he recommended, all of which were amazing! We will definitely be back soon.

We stayed here for 2 nights for our mini-moon in Cove Cottage. The Cottage has a beautiful view of…read morethe ocean and a private path to the beach. We did an easy self-check in and were greeted with a cute card, a small bottle of local wine, and some of the best chocolate cookies and lemon bars ever. We loved enjoying the view from our room with the ambient warmth from the wood-burning stove. The real gem was the freshly made breakfast served in the main house each morning. My husband and I were blown away by the flavors and freshness of both of our breakfasts and easily could have stayed longer for more. The staff here is very responsive, friendly, and really made us feel welcome. We absolutely would recommend this B&B to anyone looking for a quiet escape in Mendocino.

Had champagne, wine and chocolate covered strawberries waiting in our gorgeous suite. Thank you! The inn was stunning, clean and had everything you'll need. From binoculars to navarro Chardonnay in every room. Couldn't ask for better amenities. The location? Perfect! We were in the middle of Fort Bragg, the redwoods, the ocean and Mendocino town. Breakfast was delicious and the pot of coffee did not disappoint. My family and I made beautiful memories here. Thank you Sea rock inn- you guys truly rock! I highly recommend this place.

Loved the food, the wine, the bath amenities, and the setting is nearly impossible to beat if you like a quiet retreat for a vacation. This year we decided to go back and stayed in Heron. Again, we were so happy to be here. Tremendously relaxed, barely looking at our phones, taking walks and having incredible conversations, etc. Eating breakfast on the balcony and looking out into the gulch and onto the Pacific Ocean was incredible. With the room provided binoculars we saw whale spouts out in the ocean. I didn't believe it when my wife told me until I saw it with my own eyes. Mendocino is lovely with a fun selection of great places to eat, the park overlooking the cliffs is a great place to run and walk, etc. One other thing I wanted to mention - I got a somatic Reiki experience with Alex, and it was truly profound. I've gotten Reiki for years but this was on another level. I am deeply grateful for that experience and it's continued to resonate with me for weeks after my return home. So if you go, I highly recommend this experience.

1. We were not notified of any possible construction during our stay PRIOR to arriving on our day…read moreof check in. I was told that because we were notified of the construction when we literally checked in at 3 PM on a Friday, we could have cancelled the day we arrived. So, we were supposed to then try to locate 4 rooms (our entire party of 8) at another establishment the day of our check in? This is egregious and shady and clearly the ownership has their own interest of earning cash as their priority, NOT the guest experience. Photos of the construction from our room attached as well as a video but of the constant noise. 2. When I complained that the noise of the construction was way too loud on Saturday 7/18 at 2:30 PM (after we just dealt with the noise Friday, AND the loud music the workers were playing, and singing to) I was told that the noise from the tools would cease within ten minutes. That was a lie as it continued well past 5:30 PM that evening. 3. One week prior to our check in date, I requested a massage appointment via the BGI inquiry. I was never contacted. I then called the Wednesday prior to check on the status of the massage appointment request. I received a return call on Thursday 7/16 and the woman actually said "we never received the online inquiry, we're not sure where all those emails are going. I'll find out what is going on and then call you back." After she asked me my preferred spa treatment and date/time, we hung up. I never received a return call. I also never heard anything from anyone regarding the spa appointment after checking in on property. 4. Two of the 6 items they offer for breakfast were unavailable BOTH days we were there. Neither the burrito nor the chilaquilles were available during our stay. Sunday 7/19 the kitchen was out of sourdough toast. 5. We told staff that we would not be having the Bento Box on 7/18 yet I still received a phone call from BGI where they said they knew I was out to dinner but wanted to know if I still wanted the Bento Box. 6. After returning from dinner at 8:30 PM on Saturday 7/18, not a single staff member was available. Both my brother and I called the phone number to get a hold of a staff member to no avail. The overall feel is the staff are "out to lunch" and the owner clearly only cares about his bank account. We will not be returning.

We spent three nights in the Vista Room and agree with many others that the view is one of the best in Mendocino, within walking distance to the bluffs and downtown. The deck is the perfect place to watch the sun sets and playful birds. It is dog friendly and very private and secluded. The room is very well appointed, coat rack, iron, hairdryer and some kitchen items like a bit of silverware, coffee mugs and wine glasses. The couches recline, and the TV is hidden up top of the fireplace!! Romance by the Sea, lives up to its name with the many sparkling surprises.

It's the perfect escape from everything and totally affordable. We stayed in the garden studio on weekdays for only $70/night. You can't beat that price for any room that's actually in the tiny town of Mendocino. There's no breakfast served at the cottages but you're only a short walk from downtown Mendocino which has plenty of coffee, food options, and great art galleries. Mendocino is adorable, and has a completely relaxed vibe. The cottages are on the very west end of town so only a 1/4 mile walk down the road to Mendocino Headlands State Park with breathtaking scenery. The room was very clean, quirky and cozy decorations, and plenty of firewood is provided. The three cottages are on the same property, kind of an extended backyard, but the incredible garden and ample space made it seem very private. The proprietor was nice but not overly involved in our stay or our business. She lives on site but was pretty much absent. This is a great place to stay in Mendocino and the price is unbeatable.

Just magnificent! There's a good sized living room, full kitchen and refrigerator, a small 4 seater dining area, a bedroom (almost entirely taken up by a queen bed) with a sliding door that opens onto a balcony and a full bathroom. I asked for decaf coffee ahead of time and that was waiting for me together with a small bottle of white wine from a local winery. There is no internet unless you connect to the property's wifi which is more than adequate - about 60 mbps in this bungalow. The bungalow temperature is controlled by a thermostat and a self-igniting gas fireplace. These are the plus-es. On the minus side, the balcony had no view to speak of at all, looking mostly at the exit road and the side of the bungalow in front of the Albion. (I think the view from the other bungalow balconies is better.) The furniture was old and very worn. The couch/ pull out bed in the living room was hard and not particularly comfortable to sit on watching TV. The biggest negative was my bathroom (but only the bathroom) was crawling with ants. When I mentioned it to the property contact they were quick to say they'll address but, unfortunately, it was time for me to leave before they could. (My fault for late notification to them). In all, it is a comfortable (not luxurious) stay in a spectacularly beautiful area at a reasonable price. It's a solid 3* accommodation in a 4-5* setting at a reasonable price.

I then wonder how dirty the rest of the floor is so I take some paper towels and clean an area and this is what it looks like. I emailed the innkeeper and they responded right away and said they would have someone take care of it in the morning. When we come home from dinner I go to turn the light on in the porch area and it's out. So I again email the innkeeper and he responded quick and said he would have the manager of the day call me tomorrow. So I get a call from one of the owners who didn't seem shocked and was semi apologetic. This cabin was over $400 a night and I would expect a clean and safe room. I asked for a discount and was offered a discount on a future stay and I said I would not be going there again and all he said was "okay and bye" and hung up. So some other thing's wrong in this cabin, slider door to patio, lock broken so the lock is a stick. Shower head is about to come off the wall. I will post pictures of that. The entire property is very unkempt, spider webs and weeds everywhere. Not worth the price we paid.
