    Like my own home…

    April 02, 2013

    Warm-hearted hosts, Cynthia and Rich, made me feel like the inn was my own home in Walla Walla. A lovely place to stay in the charming town. So walkable and bikeable to shops and wine tastings. And Executive Chef Rich certainly fed me well!

    A great weekend away

    February 25, 2013

    We had a wonderful weekend experience at the Fat Duck! We spontaneously decided to travel from Portland to meet some Seattle friends to celebrate a birthday and couldn't have been more happy with the trip. The Fat Duck made wonderful accommodations for our little group and were so welcoming and helpful. The room was comfortable and affordable, the breakfast was delicious, the winery recommendations were spot on, and the downtown tasting rooms were within walking distance. I'm already excited for our next trip!

    June 20, 2012

    We booked this last minute the day before leaving for Walla Walla when there were few options available. Despite the expectations of what we might find with a last minute booking, we were pleasantly surprised by everything. The staff was very friendly (Richard and Maria) and went out of their way to ensure we were pleased. I'd definitely recommend it and would stay there again.

    Feeling at home in Walla Walla

    March 29, 2011

    My husband, son, and I so enjoyed our stay in Walla Walla at the Fat Duck Inn. The location was great. We walked to the college and downtown. Didn't need a car. We loved our suite upstairs, and the breakfasts were healthy, delicious, and hardy. We highly recommend the Fat Duck Inn for any families visiting Whitman College.

    Loon Room with the Bath across the Hall

    June 15, 2010

    This Inn was fully remodeled and beautiful inside & out. The flowers were just beginning to bloom but still very nice. There was a wonderful outside patio for relaxing with a glass of wine. Meet the Innkeeper Alexa upon arrival and she was very inviting. She showed us around and gave us a couple of tips for dinner. Downtown is only a few blocks away with many wine tasting rooms, restaurants, and shops. (Note: a lot of the restaurants are closed on Sun or Mon). So Plan you lunch/dinners accordingly We (Hubby & I) stayed in the Loon Room which was bright and cheerful. One of the smaller rooms and without a bathroom in the room (Bathroom is across the Hall). Due to it's size of the room, the bed was very cozy. Since the Innkeepers at not on the property we e-mailed them with a few recommendations/comments about our stay. Recommendations/Comments were: Air Vent in the Loon Room is right above the bed. So each morning we woke to dry throats. Suggested a vent redirect be placed on it to blow the air across the room. Bathroom across the Hall was not a big issue until the second day of our visit. We returned to the Inn (only people in the Inn that night) to find that someone had used our bath to get sick in and didn't clean up the mess. Breakfast also came up in our comments. The first morning (Inn was full) we woke to the smell of wonderful things cooking in the kitchen. Breakfast is served Buffet Style. Buffet was fruit, quiche, apple bread pudding, rolls, cereal / yogurt and juice, coffee and milk. Our comments came on the second day when we were served the LEFTOVERS from the day before. Quiche was well well done and it was not the best way to start the day! Overall - We would go back to Fat Duck Inn. Enjoyed the visit and the Inn only hope that our comments were received and some changes made.

    Great Bed, Mediocre Breakfast

    June 07, 2010

    The rooms at the Fat Duck Inn are some of the nicest you'll come across in the world of B+B - spacious, well-lit, great beds sheets, big nice bathrooms with good water pressure. The Inn itself is also quite nice on a quiet street within walking distance of downtown Walla Walla. The Innkeepers do not live on-site which gives the place more of an Inn feel. They might do a great dinner and catering - we didn't try either. However, the breakfast is very mediocre. Maybe my expectations were too high - but cold cereal, a thin so-so quiche, some fruit and some very hard bread (with a great jelly selection) was not as exciting as what I have at my house every morning. There wasn't enough food for the guests who were there and nothing about it was special. So, if you want a very nice Inn in a great location with light snacks for breakfast - go for it.

    Nice house, that's it.

    May 03, 2010

    The breakfast, I wish, was forgettable, but it was so bad and the same both days, we can not forget it. Knowing that our host was a Chef, we expected more than boxed baked goods and a tepid, thin, dry quiche. Nothing appeared to be home made. I was wrong to think that a "chef owned" B&B that serves a buffet style breakfast would have cared about the food. The hosts do not live on-site. The rooms and linens are nice. The house and landscaping are nice. The service is the worst I've seen and if they are interested in only serving dinner, they should do that and leave the breakfast out of the experience.
