I could not recommend the Headlands Inn enough. I live is a very loud and busy city and the quiet getaway was exactly what I needed. I stayed in the Strauss suite and it has a great view of the ocean that we got to look at while we enjoyed our delicious breakfasts brought to our door. While lacking more "high tech" amenities, the room felt luxurious with a massive bed, fireplace, and beautiful seating area. The bathroom was a bit small for me since I am big and tall, but I still feel as if they were adequate. Our hosts were extremely kind and gave us many recommendations on things to do around the area. If you are looking for a place to stay in Mendocino, this B&B is my top recommendation!Rooms: The room is stunning. While the building is old. You don't feel the need for fancier amenities due to how cozy and comfortable the room is.Walkability: Everything in Mendocino is within walking distance. All the cute shops and restaurants. However you WILL need a car to check out things in neighboring towns!

A beautiful and comfortable B&B. The breakfast was amazing and different on the 2 mornings we were there. Afternoon tea and cookies were a pleasant bonus in the cozy lounge area, and the staff were all friendly and helpful. The bed was super soft with a down mattress cover and lots of pillows. If you don t like scent, you might inquire whether they could launder the sheets with scent free soap. It wasn t too strong but some might not like it. The fireplace was all ready to go with a simple strike of the match!

Beautifully located in downtown Mendocino. Minutes away from the beach, hikes, local shops and amazing restaurants.The day that we arrived there were multiple rooms available and we got a room on the second floor with a fireplace as an included upgrade. Comfy beds, clean carpet and lots space! Our room had a private deck with chairs and a table.The included continental breakfast was delicious! You get to choose what type of drinks you want to have and you can note if you have vegetarian preferences.All in all a great experience and we will certainly be back in the future!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Headlands Inn. The room we stayed at was clean, beautiful and elegant. The breakfast which was brought to our room every morning was absolutely out of this world as where the evening cookies and tea. The owners John and Ashley were super friendly and the staff was very accommodating. We loved it and look forward to visiting again!!

We had a great stay at the Headlands Inn for my birthday! Diane was lovely and gave us great recommendations for things to do and places to dine. Breakfast was delicious and they were accommodating of my vegetarian request. My boyfriend and I enjoyed the proximity walkable to shops, restaurants, and nature. Our room was on the top floor and it was cozy and quiet. We d happily stay there again.

My husband and I just spent 2 nights at the Headlands Inn for a birthday celebration. There are many bed and breakfasts in this area, but I picked this place after reading other people's good reviews. This was our first time staying at a bed and breakfast.We chose the downstairs bedroom behind the kitchen/office area. Luckily the guests upstairs didn't move around much so it was quiet for us. The bed was very comfortable and I was surprised that I slept more than I did at my own home! My only complaint is that the shower was a bit weak due to the age of the place.Breakfast was delicious and nicely presented and more than enough to start our day of outdoor activities. They also host an afternoon tea and cookies where one can chat with other guests.The location is unbeatable! Step outside and take in the view of the sea. All the restaurants and shops are within walking distance too.Service was great with attentive emails prior to arrival and little gifts for the birthday celebration. On our drive back we visited Husch Winery and received an additional 15% discount for having stayed at the Headlands Inn.

Booking rooms at Headlands Inn for me & 10 of my family members was the best decision when we visited Mendocino over the Labor Day holiday weekend. The innkeepers were awesome and very accommodating. The inn was beautiful and the breakfast was delicious. The cookies were also the best cookies we ever tasted! We went to ride the skunk train the next morning in Fort Bragg and this location was convenient. It s also walking distance to Main St. where all the shops and restaurants are. Hope to come back again someday. Highly recommended!Thank you Diane & everyone there!

We absolutely loved staying at the Headlands Inn! It's the perfect location to stay in Mendocino. When we arrived, we were greeted with fresh, warm cookies and then walked over to our room in the second building. It was so cozy with the softest bed, a nice seating area outside, and we appreciated the local recommendations as well. Compliments to the housekeeping staff as well the room was clean and smelled great. Also, the breakfast basket was so nice with the fresh baked goods and other foods. Overall, a wonderful stay and certainly somewhere I'd recommend for anyone looking for a calm coastal stay.

Our host greeted us warmly for our one night stay in Annie s Room on the first floor. Super cozy. Clean, quiet, comfortable. Breakfast was amazing. It s a short easy walk to the beach area around the confluence of the Big River. Good birding in this area. The town literally oozes charm; enchanting little shops and eateries all walkable from the B&B. Drive out to Headlands Park and watch the sunset. It will heal your soul.

My husband and I always enjoy our stay at the Headlands Inn B&B. We like the location, friendliness of the staff and of course breakfast.Nearby activities: Two short blocks walking distance from the ocean. Within walking distance of Headlands State Park. Quite a few unique stores also close by.Walkability: You can walk to the ocean, headlands State Park, shopping, and restaurants.

We had such a lovely time at the Headlands Inn! The room we stayed in was really nice with it's own private deck and a wood burning stove. We utilized both of those a lot! The breakfasts were absolutely wonderful and the afternoon cookies were still warm and DIVINE! The staff was very helpful and friendly, especially Diane! We hope to be back in the future!

You should really book this lovely bed and breakfast right now! I wish we had time to stay more than just the one night. We checked in late, and the owners left us a lovely welcome note with information about where to get our keys and how to let them know about our breakfast choices.This was a mother/daughter Pacific Coast Highway 1 road trip. We specifically chose locally owned b&b and funky mom/pop retro motels for the entire trip. We researched places to stay for months, so you can be sure this review is based on high expectations! We were not disappointed about anything during our stay at The Headlands Inn!We chose the George Switzer Room because of the top floor location with village views, lots of windows, that huge king size bed with a feather mattress, and a wood burning fireplace! We loved that the host left plenty of dry, well-seasoned wood ready for us. The bed was so comfortable that I don t even remember falling asleep. We loved being able to crank the windows open and slept with a lovely cross breeze all night. We woke up to the smell of the garden flowers wafting on the breeze.Speaking of flowers! The inn s garden is full of beautiful blooming plants. The host even had a lovely arrangement on our morning breakfast tray. Breakfast at the inn was one of the best meals we had during the entire trip, and we ate at some amazing places!Thick cut French toast with cream cheese and cinnamon between layers of homemade bread, fresh fruit, breakfast sausage links, juice, coffee with real cream, and hot tea was served just outside our bedroom door. I have to point out that the toast was sprinkled with little, edible gold stars! Truly delightful!The details- street parking is available, we felt very safe, quiet inn and very quiet location, easy walk to every shop and restaurant in the historic district, beautiful garden, directly across from a little park with seating and swings, homemade cookies and coffee at check in were a nice touch, lovely view of the headlands, room has a private bath, there are common areas for all guests to enjoy, you can purchase the art too.Accessibility- like all historic/old houses, the stairs are narrow so if you have a large suitcase getting it up the stairs might be an issue for you. We used a carryon and totes so make accommodations by packing differently if that s an issue for you.We 100% loved our stay and want to do a weekend just in Mendocino. We will definitely be staying at The Headlands Inn!

We stayed in the converted carriage house and it was so special. A fire was ready to light in the fireplace when we arrived. In the morning our breakfast was placed in a little birdhouse shaped cabinet outside our door. The nearby restaurants were within an easy walking distance. I hope to go here again in the very near future. Altogether lovely in every way.Rooms: Our room was especially clean and pleasant. It was peaceful, quiet and secluded as well.Nearby activities: There was a wonderful farmers market within a block as well as beach views and access. The shops and restaurants were all within easy walking distance.Safety: I would say a woman traveling solo here would have absolutely no problem. Everyone was so friendly.Walkability: Even recovering from a recent ankle surgery, I was able to walk to nearly everything.Food & drinks: Wonderful food at the restaurants!

We enjoyed our stay here. The breakfasts are quite tasty and beautiful, and come with flowers. The room, the Bessie Strauss room, was very spacious and has a great view and you can see the ocean, but we found ourselves drinking tea and people watching. There is a hot water kettle and lots of hot drink options which is great to have. The afternoon cookies were delicious as well.The bathroom was pretty cramped, but fine for what it is. The furniture was not a highlight for us, the bed was not very comfortable and the couch was not either. Overall, I enjoyed our visit, but the price is a bit steep for the bathroom and the furniture in it. Took off a star for that.Walkability: Right in the village so you can walk to anywhere in town pretty easily.Food & drinks: Amazing and delicious breakfast brought to your room!

Our stay was beyond expectations. The room and house was delightful. The owners were lovely and accommodating. We enjoyed making a fire in the fireplace. It was very cozy and quiet. The breakfast was fabulous! They even made it a gluten free. We look forward to returning although maybe not on a Tuesday. A number of businesses were closed but we still had a great time.

The cottage itself was lovely complete with fireplace, small table and loveseat. The bed was luxurious. Everything about the cottage was delightful. The true highlight was having the breakfast delivered to the charming little house outside the door. The breakfast was outstanding in every way, and we were even given choices. Totally great experience.

They were able to easily handle my special dietary restrictions without a problem.I would highly recommend you stay there when you re in Mendocino!

I can t say enough about how much my husband and I enjoyed our stay. I was a little concerned about the Patricia Stofle room because it s right by the front door, however, it made us feel like we were the resident greeters. The breakfasts were creative, beautiful, locally sourced, and since we always eat with our eyes first, fresh flowers and warm savory or sweet muffins/breads completed the delicious ensemble. We spent a lot of time in the Adirondack chairs on the deck. Don t hesitate, book it now. We will be back.

Lovely little place in Mendocino. Staff was extremely accommodating as we were late to check in. Service was impeccable, one of my favorite breakfasts from the trip! Room was lovely- bed was a little lumpy so that s why it got four stars but otherwise everything was perfect! We even had a little furnace in our room as it was a little chilly at night in early June. We would absolutely stay here again in a heartbeat- can t beat walking distance from the beach!Safety: GreatWalkability: Five minute walk from the beach!Food & drinks: Delicious breakfast!

This B&B was AMAZING! We arrived tired after a lot of travel. There were amazing fresh baked cookies waiting for us. Our room was so comfortable with an ocean view and a view of their gorgeous garden out front. I can't even begin to gush over the spectacular breakfast served to us in the morning! A souffle, fruits, pastries. OH MY GOODNESS! I've never had anything so delicious!
