The bed and breakfast may not look like the best choice for a business traveler, but it met all of my needs - a clean, comfortable, safe, spacious room with strong WiFi - and exceeded my expectations! I accidentally left a few items behind and the kind staff made sure I received them back asap. Communication via text also was smooth and convenient.
I booked a ground-floor room that looked into the deck. Some people passed by which first startled me, but it wasn't bad during the early mornings and late evenings. Also, the town is so safe that having the windows unlocked and open was not an issue.

Beautiful property and we were warmly greeted when we arrived and were shown around. Lovely little touches like complementary wine in the evening, delicious free breakfast, complementary bottles of water and mints in the room. The living room was available to sit in the evening and there were games to keep guests entertained. Lovely bathrobes in our room. Lovely garden with firepits.
When I booked the room with private bathroom, I had assumed it would be en suite. However, it was a separate room - but for our use only. It was a little inconvenient for nighttime and also for our morning shower.

The location provides walking access to Main street, Half Moon Bay. It is a 30minute walk to the beach and that was OK for us. The Nantucket Suite was comfortable and met our needs. The secluded courtyard for guests and the daily availability of wine and other beverages (tea and coffee), was much appreciated. Meeting other guests from everywhere added to the experience. The town is sleepy on Monday and Tuesday. Most restaurants are closed but it comes to life later in the week. Reservations will be required at your favorite spot.
There was some confusion over the daily cleaning of the room. We stayed for 4 nights and the room was only serviced once. We had to ask for service by putting a sign on the door knob. Who knew?! The rooms are short of storage space. Between us we stayed in 4 different rooms and the problem was the same. No dresser to unpack the suitcase into. We did not have storage to fully unpack during our stay. The breakfast was 'meh'. It changed daily but was always basic and without any choice. If there was more storage, better service and a breakfast selection this place would be a 10.

The room was amazing - we got upgraded since the room we were supposed to stay in was in a renovation, so we got the very best room. It was spacious, there was a complementary bottle of red & white wine, a bath with whirlpool, private bathroom and also outside of the room, on the ground floor, there was a fireplace and a seating space availablewhich was very nice. After our initial "problems" with check-in, everything else was perfect. The area is very nice, you can also walk to the beach which I highly recommend as those are also one of my best photos (of the sunset). We got our breakfast delivered to the room which was perfect (we arranged the time of the breakfast beforehand) and it was very tasty. Definitely recommend!
In our booking it said that the check-in is till 9 PM. But only a couple of hours before our stay we got a mesagge that the staff will be there during 4-6 PM only, which we did not make. Therefore when we arrived we had no "self check-in" instructions (even though there is a possible self check-in with codes) and did not know where to go. Also there was no response for the messages we left on booking and since we did not have a phone service for calls, we had to borrow a phone from the gardener.

Delighted to find this B&B on the Main Street although away from the main restaurants but about a 10 min walk. Our room overlooked the garden at the back, it was large & clean - lovely walk in shower. Enjoyed sitting in the lounge having a free glass of wine that was provided with other guests. Car parking was very limited but we did find space on the street. Breakfast was you’re chosen time slot & freshly made - it varied each day. Handy coffee machine that could be used any time in the dining room. Great stay & would again if in the area.
Parking was very limited

Very clean, well decorated and peaceful atmosphere both inside and on the deck and patio in the backyard. Staff was polite and provided great service, including breakfast. The complimentary wine bar was a nice touch. It is within walking distance of cute shops and restaurants on Main Street. So once you're there you don't need to drive unless you want to go to the beach. Our dog gave it a high five too!
We would have liked an earlier breakfast - like 7 or 7:30am. Ours was at 9am.

There was a very warm greeting on arrival to the inn. We got a quick tour and then we were shown our room. Such a neat place. Quiet and inviting. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was spot on. It was served at an allotted time. Clawfoot tub was wonderful. We would definitely return to this lovely property.
The only thing was the fireplace was not working. Not the biggest deal bc there was a heater in the room we turned on.

Everything~ Wonderful place! Beautiful place! Home away from home feel, fireplace in room, great breakfast, personal service, walking distance down main street and to many restaurants and stores, great street views from my room. Happened upon the annual festival; Enjoyed.
The host should have stated to us ahead of time about the Half Moon Bay Annual-Pumpkin Festival! We could not get parking on the property or on the street until almost 8 pm. We had to ask one of the vendors to move his vehicles and his boxes out of the driveway, so that we could move our vehicles onto the property by 8 pm. After the festival ended- the city workers and street sweepers finally quieted down by 10 pm

The bed was very comfortable. The fireplace was great & made the stay cozy. The carpet was nice, and the staff was friendly. The location was very convenient.
There are very limited tv channels. The wifi did not work in our room. As soon as it would connect, it would stop 30 seconds later, and kept going on like that. Eventually we stopped trying to make it work. The other guests in the house were door slammers. This was a disturbance, unfortunately. Although that poor etiquette/lack of consideration from others was not the B&B’s fault, I think giving a reminder to the guest checking in that it is an shared space and to be considerate of the noises they are making would be helpful towards keeping a comfortable space for everyone.

Super cute inn. Parking was available. The room was a lovely size - clean, comfortable, nicely decorated, lovely bathroom and shower. There was a beautiful outdoor seating area. Complimentary wine and biscuits were provided, and we took the opportunity to play some of the boardgames that were available to us. Within walking distance of some lovely restaurants in the area.
You chose a slot for breakfast (which was fine) but there was only a small dining table to sit at for this breakfast, and other guests overran on their slots, meaning that some guests had to instead sit outside in the cold to have their breakfast. We also didn't know what we were going to get for breakfast until it was put in front of us - would've been nicer to have been told beforehand so we could say yes or no thanks.
