Headlands Inn Bed & Breakfast, Mendocino CA

Great inn. Love the in-room breakfast and afternoon tea. View from the Strauss room was very nice. Bed very nice and soft. Have fire in fireplace was enjoyable too. They provide wood. Would stay here again. Wish the bikes were operable. But everything is in walking distance.

Excellent, clean, practically delightful B&B. I'm just sorry I arrived late and didn't fully enjoy the hospitality. I recommend it and if I return to Mendocino I will definitely be their guest again, thank you

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.

This is our third stay at the Headlands Inn and we again were perfectly delighted with our experience. Breakfast is top-notch!

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.

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!

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.

This is a great place to stay in Mendocino. The Casper Cottage is especially nice since it is a separate private little cottage with all the charm of a B and B. Great location, good breakfast, and clean and quaint lodging is all you need for a wonderful couple of days.

We had a wonderful stay in the Casper Cottage of the Inn. Amazing breakfast with a beautiful presentation. Quaint little town & a great place to walk around. Breathtaking views of the ocean.

The Caspar Cottage was separate from the inn, was so cute and offers more privacy. Big bath, cozy bed, fireplace and walking distance to everywhere in town. Plus, breakfast was beautifully done! This is our new favorite b&b in the area!

The breakfast was amazing and served right to our door. Everything we wanted to do was within walking distance, and the room was so comfortable and clean. Would love to come back!

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!

Been a regular visitor to Mendocino since the 1970s and love to stay in the town proper so I can walk around visiting the shops, etc. Discovered Headlands Inn awhile back and has been my go to place to stay. Breakfast is delicious, location is great, hospitality is wonderful. On this last visit stayed on the third floor. A mistake for someone of my age with aching bones. First floor going forward. Room was lovely and comfortable. Bathroom shower/tub could be an issue for some.

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.

Quaint B&B. Stayed in Wilson room, which has an outside porch. Nice view of ocean. Owner very sweet and checked in prior to my arrival. Breakfast was fresh and delicious. Perfect location to explore Mendocino.

We had such a wonderful stay! The breakfast was delicious, the beds were incredibly comfortable, the room was cozy and cute, and the service was excellent. We enjoyed tea time upstairs and walking around Mendocino’s shops and beaches. We’ll definitely be back!

Annie's Room is a great suite with private bath, comfy bed, warm covers. Breakfast was fabulous. Afternoon tea and yummy cookies. Hostess was "the mostest". Here for an annual meeting- plan to book soon to be sure it's available.

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!

The Headlands Inn was fabulous! Love the parlor and the homemade cookies every afternoon. And as always the breakfast is superb!

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!
