    We stayed in the Pissaro room for a quick overnight in Santa Cruz. The room is lovely, the bed was very comfy. We were warmly greeted and shown around the main "house" and then to our room. The room was a little, teeny tiny bit noisy, as it is on the "bottom floor". The Inn is more like an Inn that a B&B, there are room in small cottages, you may want to ask about a room on the top floor, to avoid noise bleed through. The Inn is a mile or so from the wharf and beach and we walked there easily. It was nice to have some hot tea when coming back, the main office is open until 10 with coffee and tea available. There was also a great spread of afternoon snacks and wine. The most magnificent part of the property is the amazing floors and trees - it is lush and beautiful and just glorious! We spent some time there both in the evening and morning and it was just beautiful. I would highly recommend visiting the Babbling Brook if you are in Santa Cruz!

    Very nice

    We have stayed here twice and cannot begin to express what a wonderful, relaxing, tranquil B&B it is.. Just a short driveway and you are in a setting of exquiste scenery and wonderful hosts.. The breakfasts were delicious and the early evening wine and treats were an extra surprise... Recommend it to any and everyone passing through Santa Cruz or staying there visitng...
