We stayed at the Mendocino Farmhouse bed and breakfast in 2009. The farmhouse is a lovely, historic farmhouse in a beautiful setting. Although it is close to the town of Mendocino, it is located in a secluded, quiet setting. Our room was a large room with a private bath across the hall. We stayed four days and were the only guests during our entire stay. The hostess, Margie Kamp, was initially polite, but she was not very helpful when we asked about suggestions for dinner and activities. In addition, she was not really available when we had questions. We felt as if we were staying in the home alone. The breakfast was merely scrambled eggs and toast--one of the reasons we stay at bed and breakfast inns is for gourmet breakfasts and to meet other people. There was neither here. As our stay progressed, Margie became more and more short with us, until finally we didn't want to ask her anything. At one point our toilet backed up. My husband went downstairs to tell her and she snapped that she was on the phone. His response was "Fine. It's your house." Our last day we had to get an early start and were not even disappointed that we should not be there for breakfast.

After much thought and general mulling over the last Trip Advisor review and because it’s been so long I looked at my guest book for December of 2009 when this reviewer stayed to get some insight and I’m afraid it’s been to long for me to comment on this specific complaint. However, I want any reviewer to know that I serve a different and varied breakfast every day. It is very quiet here during the slow time of the year in December. I am always here to serve breakfast and talk to my guests and answer questions and give them dinner recommendations and info about places to go and see.
I would not expect a guest to unplug a toilet. That is my job, and I do.
Over the past 26 years I have had many happy guests who love my place and they return every year.
All of this said, I have only good intentions and try my best.
Sincerely,
Innkeeper at Mendocino Farmhouse
