Location was great. Bikes were a bonus. The room was big enough for our family of 5. There was a small kitchenette. Games available in the courtyard was great.

From the moment we arrived we were treated like one of the family. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The ranch is amazing with lovely horses and character touches fitting with the ranch lifestyle. The meals were delicious and wholesome served with a smile. They even put a bottle of wine in our room for my 60th birthday. The jacuzzi was just what we needed after a great horse ride. Love this place

the location is gorgeous, just one block from the beach. the facilities are fantastic, I wasn’t expecting the pool and hot tub to be so nice but they were very clean and well kept. the welcome drink on arrival is such a nice touch and the staff were super friendly. the smell in the property was incredible?? it’s such a weird thing to say but it was really noticeable and everything just smelled like lemongrass/coconut.

    We enjoyed Santa Barbara as usual. We have been coming there once a year for about 10 years. We enjoyed the Trolley Tour, although we have had better guides. The one we had seemed to roll through all the sights where, during previous visits, we were able to get better photos, and saw more.

    Booked and stayed on the same day/night for an impromptu night in Santa Barbara. The theme was great and carried throughout the hotel into the rooms. Brilliant location and easy free parking. Thought it might have been noisy as it's just off the front strip, but needn't have worried. Once the windows and doors were shut, it was really quiet. Comfortable big bed and a good strong shower with toiletries available and clean fresh towels.

    Our stay at the Bath Street Inn was delightful and full of charm! The breakfast and late afternoon cookies and refreshments were delicious, the room was clean and perfect for our weekend stay. Hosts were responsive and very accommodating. Location was close proximity to downtown State St and located in a quaint residential area (easy 5 min bike ride to the downtown; bikes located around the corner next to bus stop).
