Shaw House Inn 703 Main Street, Ferndale, CA 95536

"Lovely victorian inn in Ferndale, on the main street within minutes walk of everything. Charming and well kept bed and breakfast. Front desk and staff all very friendly, not sure what prior reviews experience stemmed from, but we had a great stay and would stay again if we were to find ourselves in Ferndale."

"Stayed one night on our road trip. We stayed in the garden room which is a small room with two beds. Everything was adequate, but the room made both of us sneeze. Our bathroom was clean, and just for us, but down the hall. There was a nice breakfast. There were also some comfortable public spaces. There were several other guests, but most folks kept to themselves. It felt a bit like a night in a museum."

"Lovely location and comfortable accommodations. We were last minute reservations with a pet, and as such only the most expensive room was available. Furnishings are comfortable, and large grounds are reasonably well-maintained, though looking worn. Breakfast was decidedly a disappointment, even allowing for COVID limitations, with an offering of stale muffins, fruit and a refrigerator with a selection of yogurt, some past sell by date (coffee was quite good). Service was limited, but uniformly friendly. While we were grateful for the last-minute booking, and comfortable at Shaw House, would probably look for better value elsewhere in the future."

"Lovely little bed and breakfast. Dog friendly on certain rooms, extra $25/night. Friendly host. Very comfortable rooms, very nice decor. Very clean. Some rooms enter from the outside which is super nice, some also have private balconies or porches. Grounds are gorgeous, very relaxing and private but also right in town, we walked to dinner. No fridge in our room, shared fridge in common area. Common areas are very nice, great for having a glass of wine and reading a book. Breakfast was buffet style and excellent. Scratch made quiche, Canadian bacon, and the usual assortment of pastries and cereals, but with organic milk and tea options. Highly recommend."

"What a beautiful and neat historic place! The bed was super soft, the room was gorgeous. The chef had made us a delicious breakfast in the morning. The gardens around the house are beautiful and peaceful. It's close to historic little downtown. In addition to all of that, it's pet-friendly, and the proprietors could not have been more accommodating to my dog, providing her with her own towel to lie on and a few little treats!"
