Located in the heart of the Central Coast of California, Hollyhock Farms Bed & Breakfast is the smart choice for your Paso Robles wine experience or just to relax and unwind.

    Sounds goofy, but many of our guests ask for the recipe. It is made with, of course, oatmeal, eggs, flour, butter, vanilla, sugar, baking soda/powder, cinnamon and raisans. Served with eggs to order, our cantaloupe (in season) and maple/mustard bacon. Of course, orange juice and coffee. Yum.

    We made last minute reservations and were totally surprised when we arrived. Dick and Kim met us with a wonderful glass of wine. It was a cold night so we lit the fire in the fireplace and spent a cozy evening enjoying ourselves. In the morning, we had a gourmet breakfast and spent time getting to know Dick and Kim and about the local region. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean and the hospitality five star! We can't wait to go back!

    Nothing short of fantastic

    We had the best time at Hollyhock Farms. It's very clean and well kept, the surroundings are peaceful and beautiful, and the hosts are extremely great people. The breakfasts were outstanding: the best maple bacon you've ever had, deliciously plump pumpkin pancakes and sweet freshly squeezed OJ. Everything about the room was top notch: the bed, bathroom, linen, refrigerator, and even freshly baked ginger cookies. We parked right in front of our cottage and enjoyed wi-fi and satellite TV, just like in a conventional hotel, yet were out amongst vineyards and farms, with deer and sheep as neighbors, in the quietest and most stress-free spot you can imagine -all but 15 mins away from the restaurants and wine shops of Paso Robles. Absolutely the best of both worlds, and a bargain. What persuaded to try them out us was a reviewer warning that those seeking ostentatious faux neo-Tuscan McMansions better look elsewhere, and how right he was. This place is the real deal, with real people, great food and absolute peace and quiet. Highly recommended.

    My wife and I stayed here on the way to the Bay Area from Southern California after a long road trip and it was just what we needed. The owners greeted us warmly on our arrival and made us feel instantly welcome and comfortable. The cottage was picture perfect quaint with modern amenities, including free wireless internet. We enjoyed deer coming up and peeking in at us through the glass door and cats and a raccoon scampering about. We were invited to walk through the organic farm on site and did that to stretch our legs. To finish off our welcome, Dick and Kim asked us if we'd like a glass of wine, which we took advantage of, and added a slice of wonderful home made peach cake which we saved for dessert after dinner at a great local restaurant they recommended. After a good night's sleep in a comfortable bed, we had breakfast shortly after 8, our choice from options anywhere we wanted between 7:00 and 9:00AM. The delicious egg dish, wonderful melons from their farm, excellent homemade bread, and very good coffee were made even more enjoyable by the fact that Kim and Dick joined us for the entire breakfast and we shared over an hour of conversation about life and experiences in the organic farming business. We kept prodding for more and got lots of insight into that world and some hilarious stories that will make this visit a positive memory for a long time. They were also very helpful in guiding to us to some fine local wineries we would have otherwise skipped based upon our own advance research. We highly recommend you seek Hollyhock Farms out and spend some time there with these fine folks. We will definitely return next time we are in the Paso Robles area.

    Four friends stayed two nights in cozy, clean comfort. The Rogers are fascinating hosts and the food was marvelous, especially catered to one gluten-free guest. Quiet, rural setting but close to everything we wanted.
