The orange french toast and yogurt parfait for breakfast were fantastic. The rooms were really nice and the staff was very attentive. Ferndale is like walking onto a hallmark movie set. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for a weekend getaway.

The breakfasts were wonderful. Staff was very friendly, but was unavailable to show how to work the TV, for which no directions were furnished. Management is quite new, and some things, like the exterior landscaping, is a work in progress at this point. Our room was very nice with a comfortable bed and a clawfoot tub in the bathroom. The inn's location is terrific and makes it handy to walk the whole town. There's a gorgeous garden right next door that is a must see. We had a wonderful time

It does not state on line this room is not part of the main house and that we would have a mini lock to open the sliding door. The greeting was not warm another couple arrived at the same time and she would only let one of us in at a time. Breakfast same quiche 2 days in a row. Cutting danish in half and serving juice in mini Dixie cups. The grounds have not been kept up. Did not feel safe in the room. We have stayed at another B&B in Ferndale and had a wonderful experience. Not happy! Gazebo falling apart. I have pictures more than happy to share.
