Highly recommended for location, hospitality, and value. We visited over a weekend plus a day on either side. We made the Inn our base camp. It was ideally suited and situated for our wine tastings. We did loops of Sonoma and Napa as long but reasonable day trips. We enjoyed the hospitality of Doug and Judy's historic location. The yard is a great place to relax and we had dinner in the garden with entree's from the grocery store two blocks away. Doug provided dishes for us to use and the perfect atmosphere was built in. On the down side, the building is old and creaky. Quite nice and stately, but it might surprise someone used to new hotels. If you think of it as grandma's house you can appreciate the history. Doug also was happy to share info and suggestions for dining and winery's. The hosted a wine tasting in the garden as well as snacks with it. It was great.
Innkeeper Response
Thanks for staying with us and providing a complete review of your stay. We think you did exactly what we wish our guests would do--stay with us in a location convenient to all surrounding "wine countries" (you didn't make it to Mendocino or Lake Counties) and take adventage of the comfortable, relaxing atmosphere at the Inn. The "creaky" part--yep, the main building is over 150 years old!--but we do have modern amenities (WIFI, TVs with DVD players, refrigerators in each room, etc.). Glad you enjoyed your stay--come back soon!4.6 out of 5Superb weekend of bliss

My wife and I just got back from a long weekend at Brannan Cottages and is was exquisite! Location is superb (walk everywhere) the place is spotless, the grounds are very well maintained, old trees and shade in the garden area - great for outdoor reading and relaxing. What sets Brannan Cottages apart is the level of service. Doug designed and arranged every detail of a spa/wine tasting/dining experience and it was magnificent. He knows all the local spots and his recommendations were superb. So if you want to rent bikes, tour wineries, finish with a spa and dinner (or whatever suits your fancy) - ask Doug and he will make it happen. Fabulous!
Innkeeper Response
Thanks so much for the glowing review of the Brannan Cottage Inn and my services as concierge. I am really happy that all the activities/services we selected (with your input) all worked out so well for you. The "Calistoga Wellness Packages" that we offer may not always turn out so "perfect", but we do our best to help each guest get the options they desire. Come on back soon!

Had a great stay at Brannan Cottage! Doug and Judy have a great place to stay within walking distance of the whole town. This was our 20th Anniversary and we spent 4 days in the area. They were a wealth of knowledge and advice of where to go and what to see. The house is a beautiful, old world style, with an incredible front porch complete with a creaky board or two that add to the charm. Will definitely return to Brannan Cottage when in the Napa Valley!

Thanks for your glowing review and for enjoying what we try to offer. Glad your 20th Anniversary visit was a good one. We look forward to your return.4.4 out of 5Respite in Napa Valley

Sweet historic cottages with floors, walls, furniture of the era. Old, but well maintained. Welcome "family" room with books, fireplace and treats throughout the day. Breakfasts with many choices and very friendly service. No air conditioning, but ceiling fan was fine for weather in the 70s. Quiet setting with outdoor gardens. No Napa Valley pretense here! Warm and friendly, accomodating hosts -- and setting.
Innkeeper Response
Thanks so much for staying with us at Brannan Cottage Inn. We also appreciate your input via the review process; thanks for doing it for your recent stay. We're also happy you seemed to like our approach to B&B hospitality and service. I would like to make one minor correction: You indicated there was not air conditioning in your room. All of our rooms have window air conditioners (and ceiling fans) so you can manage your own environment when staying with us. If I failed to point it out when I introduced you to your room, my apologies. Glad it was a cool day for you! Doug Cook, Owner/Innkeeper Brannan Cottage Inn

The Brannan Cottage Inn was a great 'home base' during our four days in the Napa Valley. The innkeepers were exceedingly helpful and the breakfast spread was always delicious. We especially liked the patio/garden area - sitting outside with some ice cream from town or some port and chocolate from the inn was the perfect way to end each day. Thanks! Beth & Jay
Innkeeper Response
Beth & Jay--Thanks for staying with us at the Brannan Cottage Inn. We appreciated your four day stay and hope the rest of your trip to California went well. Thanks also for taking the time to do a review--you've identified a few of my favorite things about the Inn. Glad you enjoyed your stay; hope to have you return some day soon.

We found the Cottage Inn on a whim during our honeymoon recently and decided we will be booking a room there when we return on our anniversary. Easy walking distance to anywhere and an extremely cozy little spot with a great view! Doug was super helpful and accomodating.
Innkeeper Response
Thanks for staying with us on your honeymoon, and for taking the time to write a review. We appreciated having you and we're very happy our Inn and the Brannan Cottage Inn experience met your needs. Based on this and the previous reviews, we're a great spot for a honeymoon! We'll gladly welcome you back on your anniversary(ies). We do have a "Do Drop Inn" frequent stay program; stay 10 nights with us and get the 11th night free. You're off to a great start with your multi-day honeymoon visit! See you again soon!

My husband and I spent two nights at Brannan Cottage Inn for our honeymoon. It was a lovely bed and breakfast with a lot of charm. The room we stayed in was clean and cute, the bed was very comfortable, and each room has its own air conditioner (window unit) which made for comfortable sleeping. The breakfasts were delicious! Fresh fruit, bakery, juice and a hot entree were served each morning. The Inn is located within walking distance to some great restaurants, wineries and bars. All in all we had a very nice stay.

Wonderful Sunday-to-Tuesday stay at the end of April 2012. We brought our two rescue greyhounds and the inn was very accommodating. Delicious breakfast spread with a different hot specialty each morning... egg caserole and french toast with chicken artichoke sausage. Nicely done, Doug and Judy! Bill & Pam Clayton, CA
