This is classic B and B. House owner is friendly. She prepared nice breakfast for us and chat with us. House is old but clean. There is no shower, only bath tube. So itâs very hard to wash hair. I just wait until I get home.
The property need signage
There is nothing indicating itâs holly hock country house
The entry to a long driveway is very dark
Needs lights atleast at the entry
We stayed overnight at Hollyhock House and found it a delightful experience. The room was cosy and the bathroom was conveniently situated right next door.
The breakfast, prepared by hostess Lucille, was delicious. Baked breads prepared by herself, jams, , eggs, and fresh fruit, with juices and coffee to accompany the meal. Lucille is also a delightful and interesting conversationalist.
We loved our stay at Hollyhock. The owner has been doing this for over 35 years, the concept is nothing new to her. It is very European, youâre staying in a cozy room within her home. We had our own bedroom and bathroom, it all felt very private, and un-rushed. This was one of our more relaxing stays, the street was quiet, which may have aided in that serene feeling. Breakfast the next day was wonderful, we had so many options. If we ever visit Sonoma again we hope to stay at Hollyhock.
We really enjoyed our stay, the historic and unique wood work, the old fashioned decors.
And of course Lucilleâs hospitality and the wonderful breakfast.
We hope to return in the near future, and spend more time on the property to relax and bird watch.
My ONLY beef is that Expedia does NOT make it clear that you are renting a room in someone's house. This is something I normally would never do....and wouldn't have had I known... but the beauty of the Farmhouse, the kindness of our host Lucille, and the gorgeous breakfast made it worthwhile. And the bed is so comfy....I slept so soundly and peacefully! I enjoyed my stay very much.
This is a very charming nearly 100 year old farmhouse. Our room was very cozy and welcoming. Lucille made us feel right at home. We had a wonderful breakfast including fresh baked bread and pastries. We enjoyed our stay here and loved this very unique and special place.
