#Santa barbara hotels update#

The house is old 1874 but I have lived in houses 100 years older and it is possible to update a bathroom! This meant you got freezing cold water on you head and there was absolutely nowhere to put shower gel / shampoo etc. It was a shower over a bath A notice asked you to draw the curtain around the bath before turning on the shower as the old floorboards could get damaged. The disappointing aspects were that the shower was almost impossible to use. The cheese and wine evening was delightful.

The house is beautiful and the gardens amazing. We stayed in this hotel on our 20th wedding anniversary trip driving the Pacific Coast Highway. The second night there wasn’t a turn down service!! All in all at £350 per night I was disappointed and will. We just got a chocolate left on our pillow. As breakfast was included we were astonished to be presented with an invoice to add a gratuity! We got a turn down service on night one but they left all the towels on the floor and we had to ask for more.

The second day we ate in the breakfast room to avoid the same thing happening. The toast came with no butter or jam and was very disappointing. The house is old 1874 but I have lived in houses 100 years older and it is possible to update a bathroom! We paid $10 to have our breakfast delivered to our balcony on the first morning.
