We decided to make a reservation for brunch before the Yelp event and what a wonderful decision that was! Everything about the experience was outstanding from the food to the Christmas decorations. I would consider it an upscale brunch experience if that's the experience you're in the mood for. We visited with our 5 year old son and 7 month old. I made a reservation a few weeks ahead on OpenTable. Our table was ready upon our arrival and had the cutest napkins folded as Christmas trees! My son accidentally broke a glass and the staff made the situation a minor ding on our experience. They were so sweet and brought him a styrofoam cup to drink from. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. I highly recommend you visit. read more

The Adopt A Family Christmas Party, on December 14, 2025, was an amazing event, hosted by YELP. I was, so Thankful, to been able to take part and adopt a kid. It, really makes a difference, especially during Christmas time, that all kids, are able to have, something to look forward to on that day. I felt blessed that, GOD allowed me to have and give the little boy, I adopted a 50.00 gift card. The hot chocolate, was really good, the chocolate chip cookies, was just delicious. Everything was just awesome. read more

Stayed at the Villa Monaco with dinner and massages included. This was a double suite, which was very nice, however, there were plumbing issues. The rear suite bathroom had foul smelling water. The front suite bathroom shower did not drain properly. The water pooled to my ankles. The onsite restaurant was great! The waitstaff was excellent and food seasoned just right. We ended our time here with massages at the spa, which was just amazing! read more

I go to Sanford House for brunch yearly around Christmas time. It is beautifully decorated and the food is always delicious. The staff are friendly and helpful. They are located on a one way street and i have seen a few accidents a time or two so be careful when leaving the parking lot! Most of the parking is across the street with very limited parking at a side entry. I haven't stayed at the Inn so no review on that side of Sanford House. read more

Food: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Service: 5/5 The Sanford House Restaurant is a hidden gem in Arlington. Elegant, peaceful, and surprisingly easy to miss if you don't know it's there. But once you find it, you'll want to keep coming back. The food is top-notch. Every dish we tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can tell that genuine care goes into the menu and execution; everything was on point. The service was equally impressive, prompt, pleasant, and professional without being overbearing. The staff helped make the whole experience feel seamless and comfortable. And the ambiance? Quiet, serene, and relaxing. Whether celebrating something special or just wanting a peaceful meal in a beautiful setting, this place delivers. I highly recommend it for a refined yet relaxed dining experience. A true Arlington treasure! read more

I met a few of my business associates for dinner, I started with the house soup of the day, chicken tortillas soup, followed up the blacken salmon and finished with bread pudding. The soup was rich and thick, I really enjoyed the soup. The salmon was cooked perfectly and tasted great. It came with rice and vegetables. The bread pudding was like it was made by my great grandmother absolutely wonderful! read more

Wow, what an incredible visit to Sanford House. Sanford House is stunning in every detail. Since it was the holidays, Sanford House was decorated in a spectacular way. There were holiday decorations everywhere we looked. For my wife's birthday, we decided to dine at Restaurant 506 for brunch. We figured on a weekday and early it wasn't going to be crowded. Boy were we wrong, around 30 minutes after we arrived, the restaurant was almost full. I am so glad we had reservations. From the time we arrived until we left, service was top-notch and so professional. My wife is a loved of chicken salad so of course she ordered the chicken salad sandwich accompanied with house-made potato chips. I ordered the chicken flautas. The menu description sounded really good. After a nice wait where we could take in all the beauty around us, our entrees were delivered to our table. Each of our entrees were almost works of art. My wife said her chicken salad sandwich was one of the best she's ever had. On to my chicken flauta platter. As a true lover of TexMex food, deep down inside, I was kind of reluctant to order flautas at a non-TexMex establishment. Was I surprised! The flautas were incredible. They were literally some of the most delicious I've ever eaten. Phenomenal! To finish off our delightful brunch experience at Restaurant 506, we ordered dessert, Crème brûlée & Egg Nog Bread Pudding. Wow, total perfection. I wish there was a way to give our visit 10 stars here on Yelp, but 5 is the best I can do. We will definitely head back to Sanford House real soon. Who knows we may book a weekend there in one of the cottages. read more

I came here for our end of the year Yelp event. They definitely catered to us and were great hosts. We were in the huge outside pavilion area, and we also had a little room in the pavallion area that was heated. They also had heaters outside so that you could be toasty if you hung out in the pavilion. I appreciated that they had bathrooms outside and also inside the room by the pavilion. So that we were comfortable and didn't have to walk back to the hotel/restaurant area. In the room off the pavilion, had plenty of cookies, hot cocoa, and a few adult beverages. The staff was super friendly and made sure that we had everything that we needed. It was beautifully decorated, and Yelp brought Santa and an artist to do caricatures. I had lots of fun, and I was grateful I was able to bring my husband and daughter. The parking by the hotel/inn is very limited but they have parking across the street, so you just have to be aware that if the small parking is full you have to turn around to get to the parking lot across the street. As be careful, walking across the street because it can be busy. read more

I was impressed by this place from the moment I walked in the doors - literally. My husband and I reserved the Regency Cottage as we got an AMAZING deal and it was within walking distance of Arlington Stadium (we were there to see Beyonce and didn't want to deal with parking or driving back to Carrollton late at night). When you walk in there is a beautiful restaurant to the right and left of you and a lovely staircase. The person who checked us in was wonderfully pleasant and she told us they were offering a shuttle to and from the concert. She even said my brother and his girlfriend, who weren't staying at the hotel, could take the shuttle as well. The shuttle wasn't free but, OMG, what an amazing benefit for staying at the hotel! The Regency Cottage was gorgeous and more than I could have imagined. As soon as my husband and I walked in I told him we had to come back for a staycation. The cottage included a living area, a separate area with a daybed, desk and kitchenette (with utensils, coffee maker and even creamer and two water bottles in the refrigerator). There were also two cookies wrapped on a small plate on the desk which you could tell were homemade. My husband ended up eating them both so I can't speak on how they tasted (little stinker). There was a separate room where the king size bed was and through another doorway was a very LARGE bathroom with a soaking tub and two robes that were hung up. It also included a separate shower. The most impressive part of the Inn was by far the courtyard. It has a fountain, a couple of pergolas with shaded seating and tons of outside seating and tables around it. It was a perfect area to sit outside after dinner and enjoy an after dinner drink or a glass of wine. We will definitely be back and will be taking advantage of the included breakfast (served from 8:30 - 9:30am), the restaurant and the relaxing courtyard in the evening. The prices are so reasonable that if you are staying in the area you don't want to miss the experience of staying at this one-of-a-kind hotel! read more

I chose the Sanford House because I needed someplace quiet and insular to take a break from being the full time caregiver for a relative who is in Hospice. The description of this property made it sound like the ideal place. To my great dismay, in the evening of my first day a full band began playing just yards outside my front door. They were loud and prevented any chance of calm and relaxation. The band played from 7:00 until 9:24 pm. I was so stressed by the noise that I was in tears. The next afternoon there was a wedding with a DJ in the same location. The music started at 3:30 pm and continued until 9:00pm. My two night stay was ruined by the sound of loud music and croud noise. I complained to the manager. She did not offer any reasonable accommodation for the horrible experience I had while staying there. I do not recommend The Sanford House. read more

Such a darling little place! Walking on their middle ground patio I felt like I was in another county! So cute, forest like feel. Completely unique design and a great place to possibly do a small wedding ceremony at. I came today for a yelp event. They were taking donations for family's in need for the holidays. My reason I cannot give 5 stars is I never saw a room however everything else was quite adorable. My husband got a Bloody Mary and said it was one of the best he has had! I had a memosa, pretty standard in my opinion. Would have been nice for it to be garnished or have a fruit dropped in. My kids got to meet Santa. They had hot chocolate with all the toppings they could ask for. Thank you Yelp for my pie!! read more

Santa is town at Sanford!! Yelp Elite had a very special charity event here and we were very lucky to be put on Santa's list!! The venue (house) itself is gorgeous and the decorations were so festive and amazing. I'm in LOVE with their courtyard, even with the rainy weather, it was perfect as they have a lot of covered patios. Hubby and I had the Bloody Mary and Hibiscus Lemonade Mimosa. Delishhhhh....the bartender was great and I'm glad I took his recommendation on the Mimosa. Happy 10th Anniversary with this Adopt A Family event Yelp!! Great turnout and Kendall is fabulous as always!! read more

Stanford House Inn is a cute little venue hidden in surprising area of Arlington. We visited during the holidays for an event and it was very well decorated. Santa and Mrs Clause had stopped by for a visit, there was someone doing caricatures, and the restaurant seemed to be busy! Our event was in a nice little location in the courtyard, which was wonderful for a small private event. I would for sure recommend it for a small party be it for a birthday, baby shower or graduation. The staff they had working the small bar inside that building were friendly and gave amazing suggestions. The only real complain I could even stretch out is parking, but that is due to it being more in a neighborhood. The inn itself only has a very small parking lot but the salon that they also own across the street makes up for it has plenty of parking. read more

Wonderful relaxing atmosphere away from the convention activities at our National meeting. A short Uber ride from all the activities to be in our private cottage.

We visited Arlington for the first time to attend a wedding. My wife found the Sanford House Inn. What a great place! Built in 1998 with an 1880s look to the main building. Beautiful large rooms. Restaurant 506, offering wonderful food. To a person, the staff is the nicest I can remember - helpful, happy, caring for their guests. The executive chef comes out to visit your table and ask if you like your order. And we did like our orders! Pretty close to AT&T Stadium, if you're going to a Cowboys game. You will enjoy your stay. We sure did! read more

This is a beautifully appointed property. They have the inn, a gorgeous courtyard and the restaurant all there in close proximity with a spa across the street. The staff is courteous and just lovely really. It is idyllic at night with the twinkle lights and the small bites provided at the event I attended were delicious! This would be a perfect venue for a wedding or bridal shower. I would highly recommend stopping by and checking it out. read more

Beautiful property. Nice place for a special anniversary night or celebration dinners. Reminds me of an older home converted into an upscale but cozy restaurant with cut out dining rooms. It's a bit buttoned up so I would say attire is business casual. Friendly staff. I'm sure hosting an event here would be amazing with all the outdoor space. read more

I really thought I had reviewed the Sanford House! I am surprised to see I hadn't, because I love this place! The inn is adorable, the weekend brunch is amazing. Great mimosas! Awesome eggs benedict as well as other food choices. Bread pudding is great too, a good desert selection. Staff is super friendly and helpful. The inn is super clean, with a lot of parking across the street. I recently went to an event here they supported for helping kids in need with Christmas presents. Awesome place all around. read more

I've been here before, but never got a chance to enjoy the food menu until this past Sunday. I've heard many great things about the menu and I am happy to announce that all the hype about the food hit the nail on the head. My sister and I arrived for brunch and were kindly greeted and seated at our table. Before I forget it is best to get a reservation since the restaurant does stay busy. I ordered the cranberry mimosa while my sister got the pineapple one. Maybe it's just me and my lack of experience with mimosas, but I have to say this was the BEST mimosas I've ever had. I ratios were spot on for us! We also tried the hibiscus lemonade mimosa, which is a must! Not sure if it is a seasonal item, but hopefully they have it when you go. Our server mentioned the soup of the day, chicken, and corn chowder. Even though were were there for brunch the soup sounded too hard to pass up and it didn't disappoint! Once again, it may be a seasonal menu item so hopefully, when you go it is still available. It was heaven on my tongue! Well into my second mimosa at this point, we received a bread basket and even the fucking bread was delicious. I can't explain how happy and overjoyed my mouth was so far into our experience. I landed on The Sanford meal and my sister got the Creole Biscuits and Gravy. Simple and yet so good! I do recommend getting the mimosa carafe. We didn't realize how many we had ordered in the end, but they were all well worth it and they were a good price. Please give this place a try! Don't forget to make a reservation. We will be back to try lunch or dinner next time and different cocktails. read more

Went recently for Sunday brunch with a family birthday group of 6 adults + 1 infant. Food was disappointingly average and somewhat pricey. Employees are very friendly and responsive. It was a nice day so we asked to be seated outside in the garden area. The grounds appeared to be well cared for and the front entrance parking is convenient. Nice venue for a small group event. read more

Kerry Pitcairn has been taking care of my face for almost 15 years. At 67, my skin looks better now than it did 30, 20 or even 10 years ago. Kerry works with me to select what I need on every visit. Her treatments always leave me with glowing, juicy and happy skin. Her technique is professional , and her list of service products is expansive enough that I don't get the same treatments everytime, unless I request it. The atmosphere at Sanford House is divine and luxurious. The staff always welcomes me by name and makes me feel welcome. Champagne cocktails are available before or after your treatment, as is lunch. Don't miss out on this Arlington gem. You won't regret it!! read more
