Just returned from a delightful weekend stay at the Carriage House in Laguna Beach. Good thing the reservations were made months in advance as the B&B was booked and Laguna Beach was swarming with visitors for the Pageant of the Masters (excellent event!!)
Leslie and Andy, proprietors of the Carriage House, were very gracious and made us felt so welcomed. Even their dog, Finnegan, met us as we were checking in.
The Carriage House rooms are so spacious, clean and well furnished. Immediately felt like we were at home. We were also provided with complimentary goodies such as red and white wines, cookies, cheese, fruits and chocolates. It was such a nice touch. For breakfast, we had cereal, fresh fruit, various breads and pastries, coffee, juice and tea. Plenty to start the day exploring the Laguna Beach area. The area around the Carriage House is primarily residential...which means "quiet". However, it is also located just two blocks from the beach. Definitely recommend this excellent B&B for anyone going to the Laguna Beach or South Coast area.

We stayed at the Carriage House for a night while in town to see Pageant of the Masters. We were greeted by the lovely English couple who own and run the B and B, along with their dog, Finnigan, who is too cute for words! Had we known beforehand that this was a dog-friendly establishment, we most definitely would have brought our two dogs along! The property is a converted apartment complex, so each of the 6 rooms is huge! We stayed in "Primrose Lane", and were pleasantly surprised to find that we had a 2 bedroom apartment complete with full kitchen, living room and bathroom to ourselves! The owners provide nice amenities like bowls of fresh fruit and snacks in the rooms, red and white wine, and even a book on the bedside table and an assortment of magazines in the living room! They were also nice enough to let us borrow binoculars to take to the show, and had we wanted to spend a day on the beach, they were ready with beach towels and beach chairs as well! Breakfast was very yummy in the morning! The only drawback I can think of is the noise level. Although the Carriage House is not on a main street, it is situated on a corner with quite a bit of traffic, and since some of the windows in our room were of the open-air louvered type, we were bothered by the noise during daytime hours. Also, they are building a new apartment complex about 2 lots down, so we were awakened by a very loud circular saw and hammering at about 7:30 in the morning. Other than that, the Carriage House was charming, friendly, and by far one of the best places I have stayed at so far! I will definitely be back next year, or maybe sooner with my dogs in tow!

My dog and I stayed here in 04/03. It was really lovely. Convenient, quiet location, clean and comfortable room, very nice owners, and tasty breakfast.

Would definitely stay again.

The Carriage House is great! Very hospitable hosts, cozy and clean rooms, and great dogs. Food is wonderful and location is perfect for a quick walk to the beach. Can't say enough nice things. Stayed for a week in September, going back in December. Can't wait!
