The Headlands Inn B&B was a great place to stay for the money. Located in the heart of the village, we were able to walk to restaurants, stores and the bluffs over the Mendo Headlands. Staff was very helpful. The breakfasts were fabulous, though I do wish they were served a little earlier, they did accommodate for my food intolerances. The building and grounds could use some freshening such as fresh paint, garden care, etc. The windows didn’t work properly and I smashed my finger in one since the counter balance was not attached. The bed was lumpy and not very comfortable. Overall a nice stay!

The room was on the third floor which was a little hard to carry luggage up to the room. Had to park the car on the street. The room was nice and the breakfast was fantastic.

The breakfast items were different each of the 3 days we were there. The sausage links were especially delicious, but all items were unique in their presentation and taste. We had the Wilson room with the fireplace, but it was not cold enough to fire it up. That would have been a cozy plus. Overall a really pleasant time. Kudos to John for providing a nifty solution to the free time we had.

Staying at Headlands Inn is a real treat. Each room has its own unique personality and charm. On this occasion, we stayed in the cottage directly adjacent to the Inn. It was very bright and cozy with its own woodburning fireplace and a large whirlpool tub. A delicious full breakfast is delqivered to your door every day. The Inn staff are extremely welcoming and very helpful. The location is just around the corner from shops and excellent restaurants. Highly recommended!
