Headlands Inn Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent
"This was the finest bed and breakfast experience we have had anywhere. The room was great, with good furnishings and plenty of space. We loved having the Wilson room with the large balcony and an ocean view. The hot fresh cookies in the evening were delicious. The breakfasts were so special with a carefully prepared array of food each day. Clearly made with care and quality. Our hosts were always so pleasant and helpful as well. An excellent experience"

"This is an excellent set up that very smartly maximizes a perfect location. We didn’t cook much, but the kitchen was well-equipped, the beds and pillows were comfortable and the furnishings were quite nice. Strong recommend. I never received any check-in information, but the owner’s shop below was open so we had no trouble getting in."
