Relaxation:

Our English style garden, with over 80 varieties of herbs and flowers, provides a tranquil setting to ease you into the slightly slower pace of the historic seaside village of Half Moon Bay.

It's the perfect place to read a book, take a nap, engage in stimulating conversation, or to savor a few quiet moments with our resident Kerry Blue Terrier, Jenny.

On chilly evenings, the chiminea fireplace on the brick patio casts a warm, inviting glow. And on soft, lazy coast side afternoons, the profusion of fragrant, colorful growing things is positively astounding.
