Old Monterey Inn

The historic English manor is a quintessential country inn. The Tudor-style home is beautiful—shaded by giant oak trees in an acre of wooded gardens full of colorful camellias, fuchsias, rhododendrons, and lush ferns all set in a quiet Monterey suburb. The inside of the house is an oasis of tranquility where everything is done with the comfort of the guest in mind—it’s rather like a land bound cruise ship you never go hungry: cheese, yogurt, juice and sodas are always available in the guest fridge, fresh baked cookies and hot beverages are always available; wine and hors d’ oeuvres are on hand in the early evening and truffles are a treat when you come in from dinner. All of the bedrooms in the main house, cottage, and carriage house have fireplaces, many have whirlpool tubs for two, and all are beautifully decorated and thoughtfully appointed. In the main house one of our favorite rooms is the Brightstone Suite with its bedroom, shower room and freestanding hydration tub for two sitting beside the fireplace in the sitting room. For complete privacy opt for the privacy of the Garden Cottage, with a separate sitting room, spa for two, and a skylight for gazing at the stars. Breakfast is posted the night before and can be served at the long mahogany table in the dining room at 9am or in the privacy of your bedroom.
