Quaint English style Inn in beautiful Southern Humboldt. The best thing about this place is the bar/restaurant. We had dinner there each of the 3 nights we were there. Service and food were excellent. The room was unique with heavy scent of smoke from the wood burning fireplace (which we did not use).

A unique historical property with understated elegance. Well preserved but with modern convenience. The Clara suite was airy, bright, and comfortable. The complementary sherry was a nice touch tho not our cup of tea. Dinner was excellent with impeccable service
