We come once or twice a year. The rooms are comfortable and immaculate. The continental breakfast has plenty. My dog is always happy here, and they take good care of their pet guests. Walk into Carmel, or down to the beach, it is close enough.

Everything exceeded my expectations - excellent staff; room that was cozy, immaculate with a sense of luxury; location that was perfect for walking to shops, restaurants, galleries and beach, yet still far enough from foot traffic to be quiet. I wanted a place that did more than simply tolerate my dogs, and found that here. They were very kind and welcoming to my 2 shy dogs, and the area where breakfast and snacks are served allows dogs, making our stay even easier. I will be staying here again, soon!!!

If you want to stay in heaven surrounded by loving pets, please stay here. I loved this place. I may need to go out and adopt a dog,just to have reason to travel back to Carmel. I hope my cats at home won't be upset. Looking forward to my return to The Carmel Country Inn. Jose morales rehoboth Beach, DE.

Having stayed here for only 1 night in 2007 we knew we wanted to stay here again for part of our honeymoon. As soon as we contacted the Carmel Country Inn ("CCI") and requested one of the Luxury Mini Suites they couldn't have been more helpful. When we arrived Amy and Rachel gave us such a lovely welcoming which continued throughout our stay. Our room was just as the photos showed on their website, very relaxing and the spa bath was great. It was lovely to sit out on the balcony in the early evening relaxing with a lovely glass of wine. You could not ask for any more choice for breakfast than what was on offer, you could either sit in the kitchen area, or out on the terrace or take a tray back to your room. Although the inn is situated away from the town centre it is only a short walk to the main shops and restaurants. We can highly recommend Tommy Wok's for a cheap but very filling chinese. It does get very busy so you should book a table. Cannot recomend CCI enough and we look forward to going back soon. Thank you Amy, Mara, Caytlyn and Rachel for making our stay so great and a memorable part of our honeymoon!

The rooms are fabulous, immaculate and comfortable. The staff is great, very helpful when asked for recommendations of where to eat and what to see and do in carmel. This is in an excellent location. We enjoyed the flat screen T.V. and the movies we borrowed from the INN. The fireplace and whirlpool tub are super added features. The bed was very comfortable. I can't wait to return to this Inn.

Carmel Country Inn is our favorite destination and only 2 hours maximum driving time from San Francisco. We have stayed there numerous times, with and without pets, think the location is the very best (beach, lagoon hiking, shopping, all dining within walking distance) and it is VERY quiet. There is ample off street parking for guests, the continental breakfast is perfect for every person's expectations and if something more substantial is needed there are numerous breakfast opportunities only 5 minutes away on foot. All of the rooms are cozy, 1 or 2 bedroom suites, the beds are exceptionally comfortable and every room has a state of the art flat screen TV. The staff is very accomodating, helping with dinner suggestions and reservations, helpful in planning a wonderful day trip experience so that guests can truly enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the Monterey Peninsula. For golfers, the choices are difficult . . . all the courses are beautiful and have world class reputations and challenges. We are now in the process of figuring out how we can get to Carmel Country Inn no less than 4 times a year! It's perfect.

This was the second time we stayed at the Carmel Country Inn. It is lovely. If I'm ever in Carmel again, I won't think twice about where I would stay.

The staff is very friendly and they remember us from our previous visits. We bring our dog with us and she is also warmly welcomed. Our room was their least expensive and yet we still had ample space for all three of us. The room still had a fireplace, mini fridge, internet access, free sherry and a large bathroom. The complimentary continental breakfast was ample and tasty and we enjoyed it out on the patio.

The only complaint we have about our stay in Carmel was it wasn't long enough. We loved everything about Carmel and the Carmel Country Inn and can't wait to go back. We were greeted by friendly staff who showed us to our room- a beautiful king room with a fireplace, flat screen tv, whirlpool tub and balcony overlooking the quiet street that the Inn sits on. The cozy, clean feeling of the room was so peaceful and relaxing. Breakfast was delicious and we enjoyed a chat with Amy and Tescher Cat (the true Inn Keeper). We can't wait to go back to Carmel.

We loved our stay at the Carmel Country Inn. The 2 bed/1 bath suite we stayed in was delightfully decorated and comfortably furnished. Everything was clean & in good condition with a coffee nook, refrigerator, fireplace, television & dvd player. They even had a large dvd library for guests to utilize at no cost. The staff was welcoming, accomodating and helpful with finding good restaurants, discovering great shopping or taking fun excursions. The daily breakfast was delicious with pastries, bagels, cereal, fresh fruit, oatmeal, juice, coffee and more. They offered freshly baked cookies each afternoon & evening and bottled water was available at a reasonable cost. We had a wonderful time & would definitely stay there again. Though we weren't able to take advantage of it, they have a company who will even come & give in-room massages. The hotel is just a few blocks off of the "main" road - Ocean Dr. so it was easy to walk all around the town for meals, shopping or to the beach but was tucked away in the neighborhood where it was quiet & peaceful.

My wife and I stay at the Carmel Country Inn regularly, and have done so for about ten years. We always enjoy the relaxing and comfortable rooms with a nice fireplace and cozy furniture. Being pet friendly (we take our dog and cat) was the initial reason we stayed there, but we've stayed several times even without the pets. The Inn staff is very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast is one of the best of any B&B we've experienced.

We stayed here for two nights in late November. The room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. It was so cozy it felt like you were staying at a friend's house. We have stayed at a couple B&Bs in the past two months and I keep wishing we'll walk in and find the Carmel Country Inn's room! Bed was fantastic, property is quiet, and the staff is always helpful and nice. The location is a big plus too - far enough away that you don't hear all the cars, but still only steps from downtown and the beach. We really enjoyed being able to walk to everything and then return to our quiet bungalow. Great experience!

We enjoyed two great days at the Inn and it was love at first sight as we were greeted by a large, well-fed cat sitting in the arms of one of the innkeepers. So, leaving my two cats at home made this a lovely and welcoming scene! This is an older place, however, we stayed in the large room with a fireplace which sits upstairs over the lobby. Amenities were modern, the place was very quiet for sleeping and the breakfast was quite satisfying. One comment: I eat oatmeal every day and the crockpot-style of cooking left it a bit watery for my tastes and it needed to get going a bit earlier for guests as it didn't seem done. The coffee was outstanding and the almond pastries were "the best" and I had one each morning. Whatever bakery is providing them, please keep them coming. Everyone was so helpful and kind, giving us great suggestions for restaurants and making reservations for us. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Casanova and the food and service were excellent. Day trips included 17-Mile-Drive, Monterey and walking the shops of Carmel. We will definitely go back to Carmel and we had such a good time at the Carmel Country Inn, that this is permanently on our list. At first, I was concerned that it was pet-friendly and since I'm a "cat person" and not a "dog person," I was hesitant. But, the people, the place and the two cats won me over (I still love and miss outdoor Max and hope he's doing well and wish he'd decide to come inside where all domestic cats need to be to be safe), and we will return. Many thanks for a wonderful time and good memories.

we recently stayed at the Carmel Country Inn during the second week of October. The weather cooperated with mild days and cool nights, with clear blue skies. The service was great, the room (a 2 room suite) was perfect, quiet, and comfortable. Quiet is the operative word. The large master bathroom was the best, and the fireplace gave warmth to the room in the evening. The sherry was also nice. In addition to the great B&B, the town of Carmel is a jewel. We would go back in a heartbeat.

Our little threesome stayed at the Carmel Country Inn recently, taking advantage of a two bedroom suite, and we couldn't have been more pleased. The room was wonderful, with it's cozy fireplace, clawfoot jetted bathtub, and nice ameneties. The staff was personable and laid back, and the resident cat was a joy. The continental breakfast was far above average, and the afternoon fresh-baked cookies and snacks were an added bonus. Located within an EASY walk to town, and only about five minutes to the beach. We would all highly recommend this location - and will definitely plan to stay here again.

We stayed here our honeymoon and loved it.

The location couldn't be more perfect, 2 blocks from town, yet not a single noise distraction except the birds talking in the trees. every amenity was provided from flat screen tv's to afternoon snacks and fresh baked goodies for the evening. They were so kind and generous with our little dog, they even provided him with adorable doggie scarf's and sweaters to wear around town,and or course take home. Best of all was the terrific Innkeeper, Amy who made our stay especially fantastic with her attention to every detail, beautiful room accomadations, fantastic breakfast's and most of all her wonderful, pleasant attitude toward us and all her guests!!

My wife and I just stayed at the Carmel Country Inn, and loved it (again!). We've stayed twice before and have loved every minute of it. What I really like about staying here is you are right in town, but down the street just enough so evenings are peaceful to the point where you could hear a pin drop. Walking to dinner each night and walking it off just a bit on the way back, and admiring the woods and bird sounds all around is just the best. We've stayed in a few different rooms and they have all been beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable. As a guy, I sometimes don't like the style of B&B's when they are overly 'frilly' with floral prints from the carpet to the ceiling. This Inn does a good job of creating warmth without overdoing it. I just felt immediately comfortable and relaxed. This time we stayed in a 'king suite' - a new room since we were last here. The Innkeepers have built a second floor with two rooms, and they've done a good job of making it look like it was always there. These rooms are super nice, with a full private balcony facing the woods across the street, a fireplace, flat-screen TV, a huge bed, and a nice bath. Another thing I really like about this place is the snack room where a simple breakfast is served in the morning and snacks and coffee are laid out all day. It was a lot of fun to go out for the day and come back before dinner and grab a snack and coffee and head back to the room for a bit of reading/relaxing before heading out to dinner a bit later. Lastly, Amy at the Inn remembers us and we've enjoyed catching up with her each time we come. We just feel welcome there, and having travelled as much as we have, you definitely cannot say that enough these days. Customer service is all but gone it seems, but not here. We definitely recommend the Carmel Country Inn to friends and family and if you are looking for a nice little splurge, this is a good one.
