We stayed at the Cheshire Cat Inn in the 2-bedroom cottage (Prestbury) and had a delightful experience! The cottage has its own driveway, private jacuzzi, kitchen, TV, and DVD player and they delivered a delicious breakfast to us every morning. The cottage was immaculate and the perfect place to have a group of 4 for a long weekend getaway. The... more

Magical weekend in queen of hearts suite. Cheshire cat is our new SB favorite. Great location. Easy walk to State street. Quiet neighborhood. Lovely backyard with a giant old tree, fountain and flowers. Our suite had a private entrance with its own patio and its own jaquzzi tub. Weekend breakfast is served on the patio. Early coffee and wine/cheese late... more

This was our first stay at the Cheshire Cat Inn (and my first stay ever at a Bed and Breakfast). The Innkeepers were wonderful and very friendly. The Inn is a short walk from the many restaurants and shops on State St. Our Room (Alice's Suite) had a very nice balcony and was very comfortable. The room had several journals... more

Was going to be near Santa Barbara on business, so the wife and I decided to make a night of it. Found the Cheshire Cat online and booked a room. (It was a slow Wednesday night so I negotiated a significant discount.) We stayed in the Cheshire Cat Suite, a king room with a jacuzzi tub. The building itself is... more

My husband and I spent a weekend there and had a delightful time. We stayed in The Caterpillar Room overlooking the lovely gardens. Sat on our balcony and had our morning coffee and breakfast. The staff, innkeeper Bharti, was wonderful and could not do enough for us. The beautiful roses all over the house. Clean, decorated tastefully, and quiet. We... more

My wife and I planned a long-overdue getaway weekend and booked a room at the Cheshire Cat on the advice of a guidebook we had. Using their excellent website, we examined several rooms and selected the Queen of Hearts, which turned out to be perfect. It was a cozy room with its own patio area and our own jacuzzi. We... more

We stayed at the Cheshire Cat the beginning of September. The rooms were amazing (I highly recommend upgrading to the balcony room), the grounds immaculate and the inn keepers were all extremely helpful. Breakfast each morning was incredible!! And there was plenty to choose from too! And the evening wine and snacks were a perfect way to cap off the... more

After reading the tripadvisor reviews I had high expectations. I was a bit thrown off by a somewhat lukewarm greeting upon arrival. But I was really disappointed when I got to my room. It was unusually hot that day and the room was steamy. All I wanted to do was take a quick nap, but couldn't because there is no... more
