Holly Lane Gardens

June 25,2011 Worst experience I've ever had. The house is dark and cold and needs updating and a few lights to read by with more than a 40watt bulb.Carpets look like it's been months since the last vacuum was used. ..maybe that explains the poor lighting. Hostess was absent when I arrived at 2:30 to check in and at 5:30 when I returned she was still absent with a note on the door directing me to a room that was a bathroom.I returned for the 3rd time at 7:00pm to finally have the hostess show me my room. (She explained that she was in a hurray and left the wrong instructions). The next morning I got myself up at 7:45 because there was a note posted that breakfast would be at 8am ...silly me. When I went into the kitchen nothing was happening and the hostess explained that that was because it was Sunday and breakfast was at 9:00am. I made my own cup of tea for breakfast with hot tap water at the sink.This women has evidently never learned how to make tea in a tea pot or how to be a hostess.

We stayed in the cottage and used the fire pit. The view from the sitting room window was serene. Patti was a delightful hostess and a gourmet breakfast was served in a tranquil setting. I would love to stay there again when I visit.

I have stayed here a few times and really enjoy Patti! Wow! She is fun and interesting and a excellent cook. If you enjoy peace and quiet, country / farm setting ...miles from your usual world ... then go visit , relax , walk and eat including Yummy fresh eggs ! Louise :)

We stayed here and had a great weekend! Patti makes and outstanding breakfast~~best omlet I have ever eaten! The rooms are rustic and cozy.Gardens and amimals are fun to see. Firepit available. Friendly and welcoming.

Our stay was fantastic! We stayed in the private cottage which was separate from the main house, although we were the only guests there. It was charming and comfortable. The farm was relaxing and refreshing and hearing Patti's daily farm challenges was quite fun. Her breakfasts were delicious, accompanied by great stories. We definitely recommend this charming farm for your stay on Bainbridge Island.

We went the first week of december, mid week and had the place to ourselves. Very quiet, very dark once night falls. Very peaceful. The breakfasts were excellent. Not much to do in Bainbridge itself, but be sure to go to Cafe Nola for dinner. Great food.

Stayed a night with my girlfriend in summer 2008. The owner, Patti, runs this place on her own and is one of the more charming, but down-to-earth women I have ever met. Great cook, and very welcoming but unintrusive. The downstairs suite is more private than the rooms in the house, but not very exciting (in terms of decor). Would be great for a traveling family with kids, however. Upstairs rooms looked beautiful. The location is well removed and very quiet. Overall, a very relaxing time and an unbeatable deal.

Comfortable, affordable, private, yet convenient, Delicious, frsh, and filling breakfasts. Owner is delightful!

Our stay on Bainbridge was wonderful -- Holly Lane Gardens is so charming, yet so close to the city. Patty is a wonderful hostess, our room was very comfortable, and we woke every morning to gourmet breakfasts and wonderful company. We got to go egg hunting, walked the beautiful gardens, and heard many a tale from Patty about life on the farm. Highly recommended!
