Love the inn, love the location, love everything about this place! We stayed at Tickle Pink Inn for 2 nights but had to do a room switch because the inn was so busy. The first night we stayed in room 27, an oceanview with fireplace. The room was fantastic. It was a real wood-burning fireplace and the inn had both duraflame logs and real wood for us to use. We LOVED hearing the crackle of the fireplace. The room was very large and clean and had a large balcony overlooking the ocean. Charming details in the room. They had told us when we reserved the room that we'd be able to see the terrace where they serve breakfast/wine and cheese from our balcony. This wasn't an issue at all - the view was still gorgeous and it was wonderful waking up to the smells of homemade breakfast.

The second night we stayed in room 10, a cove view room with balcony. The room switch was very easy. We just packed up our stuff and they moved it for us while we were out. They were also very flexible with us about the time we wanted to move our stuff, etc. The cove view room did have a smell of varnish in it, but not overwhelming to us. The views were gorgeous, but the room was much smaller (more like a typical hotel room) and we much preferred the room with the fireplace. Still cute and charming.

The inn offers plenty of little extras - champagne (or sparkling cider) and chocolates brought to your room the first night you arrive. Free waters. Movie selections for you to watch in your rooms. Breakfast was great - you can have this delivered or in the breakfast area. The apple strudel is delicious. The sausages are also great. They do a wine and cheese reception from 4:30 - 6:00 every evening with a selection of cheeses, wines and sparkling cider. Everyone was so friendly and the location on the cliffs overlooking the Pacific is gorgeous!

If you are driving down Highway 1 to Big Sur, make sure to have lunch at the Post Ranch Inn. We were also able to get to Carmel-by-the-Sea and Monterey easily. We definitely hope to be back soon!

Just had our second use of this B&B. It again was wonderful

What's not to love? Location, charm, all the extras included and an attentive staff that cares that your stay is perfect. We celebrated my husband's birthday this past weekend at Tickle Pink and could not have been happier. The inn is nettled in the woods perched above the rocky Pacific coast. The whales were migrating... so many of them visible from our private balcony. A lovely breakfast with fresh pastries and fruit along with some heartier fare is served every morning - you choose whether to enjoy it by the crackling fire, on the deck gazing on the ocean or have it served to your room. In the late afternoon, enjoy local wines and an assortment of cheeses. The icing on the cake was a chilled bottle of champagne, chocolates and a rose served to our room in celebration of my husband's birthday. We will be back.

This hotel has so much Charm. I'm writing this review after sitting on my balcony overlooking the ocean and noticing whale's swim by. when we checked in they said you could barrow binoculars which I thought was strange but now I get it! Whale watching from the comfort of your room. This place is better then Hawaii, a much better value. The only negative is some road noise from the street below but every hotel next to this will have the same thing and you only hear it when outside.

This is not a place for kids but great for relaxing and great food.... HINT: Get the upgraded room with the spa tub, fireplace, and ocean view. they are much bigger then the other rooms.
