The staff and service were great. The other guests were friendly and thoughtful. I remember when they had the great restaurant, but it's now closed. I will return when I am in the area again. I particularly like that it's located away from the tourists, but so close to Solvang, Buellton and Los Olivos. ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Beate 5 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities It is a wonderful place to stay but there is no Restaurant anymore. ##### Beate Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura 3 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great experience. Bathrooms could use updating. Beautiful building! ##### Laura Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pedro 21 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Quaint and cozy, Ballard Inn was a pleasant stay. Located near many vineyards, and offering discounted tastings to many of them, it was the perfect place to map out your vineyard stops. Yummy breakfast to start your day and even tastings in the early evenings. A must when you're in the Santa Ynez Valley. ##### Pedro Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jenny 2 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We loved our stay here! The chef breakfasts were excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Only recommendations would be black out curtains me wiping down the spider webs on the patio area- all the seating had webs. ##### Jenny Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tracye 9 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our group really enjoyed all the different public rooms. They also offered some nice local wines at their daily social hour. Perfect base for a weekend of wine tasting. Will def be back when restaurant is once again open. ##### Tracye Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly 19 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Very nice and comfortable. No TV in room ##### Kelly Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Raphael 8 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Low on amenities, but otherwise fantastic Great location and very clean accommodation. Air conditioning is super strong too which is a bonus for the hot summer days. Only downside is that there are not many amenities. No TV, no robes, no slippers. Aside from that, it's fantastic ##### Raphael Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Teo 27 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Stayed only one night. Experience was positive. Staff very helpful. Came just in time for the happy hour. Cheeses, some crackers, fruit and wine. Breakfast satisfactory to start the day. A very good bakery in the front. Close to the idyllic los olivos downtown. Hiking trails. Santa Barbara over the mountain route 154 30 minutes. Definitely can recommend. ##### Teo Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Kingsmills Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inverness-Hotels-Kingsmills-Hotel-Inverness.h536509.Hotel-Information) > > [Curry Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yosemite-National-Park-Hotels-Curry-Village.h42942960.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ranch at Death Valley – Inside the Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Death-Valley-Hotels-The-Ranch-At-Death-Valley-Inside-The-Park.h893189.Hotel-Information) > > [MERUSAKA Nusa Dua](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nusa-Dua-Hotels-Merusaka-Nusa-Dua.h9532295.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Cervinia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cervinia-Hotels.d11085.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Ragged Point Inn and Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Simeon-Hotels-Ragged-Point-Inn-And-Resort.h10104659.Hotel-Information) > > [Aparthotel Costa Encantada](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lloret-De-Mar-Hotels-Aparthotel-Costa-Encantada.h1712220.Hotel-Information) > > [Rabot Hotel from Hotel Chocolat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soufriere-Hotels-Rabot-Hotel-From-Hotel-Chocolat.h4595619.Hotel-Information) > > [The Inn at Death Valley – Inside the Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Death-Valley-Hotels-The-Inn-At-Death-Valley-Inside-The-Park.h893179.Hotel-Information) > > [Ohtels Belvedere](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salou-Hotels-Ohtels-Belvedere.h1252184.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite Valley Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yosemite-National-Park-Hotels-Yosemite-Valley-Lodge.h16279668.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Cincinnati](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cincinnati-Hotels.d178249.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Eurostars Magnificent Mile](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chicago-Hotels-Eurostars-Magnificent-Mile.h1880320.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Stirling by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stirling-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Stirling.h84003.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ahwahnee](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yosemite-National-Park-Hotels-The-Ahwahnee.h974797.Hotel-Information) > > [Vale Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Vale-Resort.h1057564.Hotel-Information) > > [Cedar Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Portal-Hotels-Cedar-Lodge.h889912.Hotel-Information) > > [MotelOne Hotels in Great Britain](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Great-Britain-Hotels-Motel-One.0-0-d553248623451644244--bMotelOne.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Lakenheath](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lakenheath-Hotels.d3000010849.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Wawona Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yosemite-National-Park-Hotels-Wawona-Hotel.h19707243.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Lake Como](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Como-Hotels.d6024900.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [British Airways Bristol (BRS) to Dublin (DUB) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/british-airways-from-bristol-intl-to-dublin/ba/brs/dub) > > [Flights from Harare (HRE) to Belfast (BHD)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/hre/bhd/harare-to-belfast) > > [Air New Zealand](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Air-New-Zealand-Flights.cNZ.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [flights from leeds bradford airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/lba/flights-from-leeds-bradford-airport) > > [Flights from New York (JFK) to Seawell (BGI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/jfk/bgi/new-york-to-bridgetown) ### Cars > [Car hire near Banff National Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Banff-National-Park.d602291.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Kiotari](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Kiotari.d6051776.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Istanbul Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul.d654078240806088704.Holidays-City-Breaks)
