“Nice...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

My husband took me away for a weekend to celebrate , relax and just get away. We had never been to a bed and breakfast and he found the Inn on Summerhill and booked our stay for 2 nights. It's a really cute inn with friendly front desk staff. Our room was really charming and had a very comfortable bed! The decor reminded me of a country cottage, it was cozy. We had breakfast in bed one of the mornings, it was decent. Fruit, scones, coffee, juice, and a nice quiche. Afternoon snacks and evening desserts are also a great treat we enjoyed.

Now the downsides...we got in late Friday night and there were a few random spiders and dirt in the bath tub. Must not have been cleaned prior to our arrival. Once it was clean, a jacuzzi tub in the room was great though. They skipped our room for turn-down service for some reason so we returned to our room after dinner and didn't have towels, water, soap, etc replenished and that was a letdown. Then we sat down to have a cup of tea - each room has a teapot, mugs, and a hot water filter....and found the mugs were dusty and the teapot had stale, used, wet teabags in it. The room was rather warm and so we either had to deal with a loud wall unit AC or the open balcony door. The freeway noise really is loud with the balcony open, which is a shame since the view is so beautiful. It wasn't so bad saturday night though and we used the ceiling fan for some air circulation.

Overall, it's a lovely inn, the food is good, we had a great weekend and the staff was friendly. I probably wouldn't recommend this place if somebody is looking for a quiet hideaway, but it was nice.

“Had a nice stay........”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012

We had a very nice stay, we switched rooms from a downstairs to a upstairs w/balcony, much better and quieter, The beds are comfy, the room could use updating..... sorry but it was a little outdated. And, the bathroom floor was filthy, i ended up cleaning the floor with our wash clothe because it was very dirty, I expect a cleaner bathroom for the price I'm paying, especially since other people used it! Other than that... everyone was nice, food was very good and it was peaceful.

“Wonderful, relaxing place to unwind”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012

My husband and I were celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary and were supposed to stay here the middle of Dec. Well the weekend we were supposed to go, I had to have emergency surgery and we had to call at the last minute and cancel. They were so gracious about it, told us no problem and moved our reservation to the end of Dec. I was surprised with how accommodating they were.

We had stayed here 2 previous times, the first time was for our 5th anniversary, and this stay was just as great as the 2 previous stays. The staff is amazing. They go out of their way to answer any questions you may have, make dinner reservations for you or just offer suggestions. They offer a gourmet breakfast every morning with things like eggs and sausage, fresh fruit, muffins, various juices along with fresh squeezed orange juice and coffee. In the late afternoon they offer wine and a few horderves. The day we arrived they had chocolate covered cherries made to look like little mice with a Hershey's kiss. Very cute. For dessert, they had chocolate mousse cake and cheesecake. Everything we ate was delicious.

As far as the room goes, we had a King Balcony room and it was wonderful. We had a very large balcony with a great view of the ocean. I will admit though, there is a lot of traffic and train noise while out on the balcony. In your room with the door closed, the freeway noise could hardly be heard but we were able to hear the train every time it came by. Neither thing was enough to bother us and I am a very light sleeper. There are ear plugs in the room if it is an issue for you but as I said they never woke me up while sleeping. The beds were very comfortable and there is a fireplace in the room for chilly evenings.

We will definitely be back to the Inn on Summerhill again. It really was nice to relax and unwind in such a beautiful place.

“great view, good wine, friendly staff, good night sleep”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 November 2011

There's nothing but good things to say about this hotel.

The breakfast is tasty. The afternoon wine and snacks are tasty.

The views are great. Yes you have to look past the highway but who cares. Its still a great view. The balcony is such a nice place to sit and drink coffee or wine and relax in the sun.

Bed was very comfy and the service was perfect. There's the cute town to stroll around in and you can walk to the beach if you're up for it.

A great place to stay in summerland or santa barbara.
