The loudest part of town. Cambria is a cute, quaint, and quiet little town. The Olallieberry Inn was recommended to us by a local family member, so we gave it a try during a weekend getaway from SoCal. The Inn has two main pros: (1) cleanliness and (2) location. Although it looks old, it is actually quite clean, thank the heavens. It is located very well, being maybe 15 steps from the edge of downtown. Other perks include its cute setting, small size, in-room fireplaces, and comfortable beds. There is also a little lounge with instruments, games, and card tables. Unfortunately, I was not necessarily comfortable during my stay. If you took one step, neigh, shifted your weight from one foot to another, the whole house shook. There is no sneaking around this place. My husband and I were playing one of their many games in the lounge, and heard someone snoring from one of rooms. At night, I heard every cough and wheeze from our next door neighbors. Two guests arrived at 2 AM, and I didn't sleep until they were done unpacking 45 minutes later. In fact, I didn't sleep much at all. It was so loud that I was constantly being awoken, or generally on edge because of all the movement. Every time a door opened I made sure it wasn't ours, because it's hard to distinguish where the sounds are coming from. Lastly, the service was not what other reviews had mentioned. Yes it was friendly and respectful, but in an unprofessional way. They made plenty of mistakes and while they owned up and apologized for them, they seemed to think it was funny. We waited 20 minutes for our breakfast after everyone had gotten theirs because they forgot about us, then realized that they counted wrong and served my husband something else. The breakfast was simple but decent. The wine and cookies at 4 o'clock was not worth attending. It's no Ritz Carlton, but overall, a clean and decent place to stay for a little getaway if you sleep like a corpse.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Olallieberry Inn in Aug2023 where we celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary. We stayed in the Sunrise room, which has it's own private balcony. The bedding, room and linens were clean and furnishings were comfortable. The new owner, Anna, and her daughter, Mary, were very nice hosts. We enjoyed the complimentary happy hour in the garden with wine, hummus and veggies. The breakfasts were very good and included with the price of the room. We really enjoyed the cinnamon French toast, sausage, homemade scone, fresh sweet fruit, olallieberry yogurt, fresh granola, orange juice, and coffee. The 2nd day's breakfast was an egg/cheese souffle with potatoes along with the homemade scone, fresh sweet fruit, olallieberry yogurt, fresh granola, orange juice, and coffee. We rode our bikes to the Fiscalini Preserve and to Moonstone Beach. Weather was stellar. We walked to our dinner at the Sow's Ear. We plan on returning to the Olallieberry Inn again.

Olallieberry Inn is a cute, clean, and comfortable bed and breakfast in Cambria and my partner and I enjoyed it a lot. There was some mix up with our reservation dates when we first arrived and the owner Alanna was extremely accommodating in fixing the mishap, she even let us enjoy the wine and hors d'oeuvres hour we had completely shown up late for! The property was quiet and intimate, but the employees were still friendly and sociable. Crystal who we saw every morning was always ready with a cup of coffee, a smile, and good town exploring advice. After our trip I recommended Olallieberry Inn to a coworker and she booked a weekend trip next month. As for me and my boyfriend we will definitely be back!

Just spent the weekend at this gem of an Inn. The team here are amazing making this experience the BEST! Location is perfect as you can easily walk to town and experience a variety of wonderful restaurants and shops. Our room was perfect with a comfy bed and amazing sheets that you can purchase. We were served a full breakfast made by the staff. The Inn Owner was a chef so the dishes were unique and delicious. And if you wanted a copy of the recipe, they provided that for you. After a long day we enjoyed a beautiful, happy hour on the patio, where they served wine and a beautiful plate of cheeses, crackers, fruit and hummus, It ended with a delicious homemade cookie. It was a great opportunity to meet the other guests in the house and share our experiences throughout our visit. We met some wonderful people, and the staff joined in on the conversation, which made the experience very friendly and personal. We will definitely be coming back to this amazing spot. I cannot say enough about how friendly and accommodating the staff was, they made you feel like family! I highly recommend you try this Inn you will not be disappointed. Thank you to the team for making our weekend so memorable.

I have only good things to say. The people were lovely. They all took great care of us. We were made to feel welcome right at checking in. Heather went over any dietary restrictions we might have for breakfast, which was nice. They provided a wonderful wine hour. We sat in the beautiful garden and chatted with another couple. The breakfast was excellent. They served us fruit, yogurt, granola, a scone, and then scrambled eggs and French toast. A full breakfast that was really delicious in a very nice dining room with a view out to the garden. The room was perfect and they even provided robes. The place was quiet, but it was also nice to socialize at wine hour and breakfast. I highly recommend them. 5 stars!

The gardens the staff the people what more could you ask. We checked in with a fresh cookie served with either lemonade or tea and a fresh baked cookie. The rooms were quiet and good mattress. Each room is different and it's an easy walk to the village. Beware no HVAC. Meals are fresh.

My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary and just loved it! It was our first bed and breakfast experience so we didn't really know what to expect but the price was perfect and we liked the idea of happy hour/social hour with other guests. I found them through Yelp and at the recommendation of some friends. We stayed in the Room at the Top, which has a private, detached bathroom. The sheets and bed were extremely comfortable. We were even treated to a small bottle of champagne in our room for our anniversary! Donna and Angie were our hostesses both nights during the social/happy hour and they were very friendly and accomodating; both had great recommendations for places to see and restaurants to check out in town. We received wine and our own appetizer plates and were able to chit chat with some of the other guests on the spacious back porch. Everyone was so nice! It is a historic house so the floors are a little creaky and the walls are thinner, but we didn't have any trouble with noise from other guests. We also really enjoyed playing cards and records in the music room. You can't beat the location in town or the friendly touches at the inn itself. We would definitely stay here again! Next time we would try the Sunrise room in the carriage house to take advantage of a private patio at the recommendation of some of the other guests!

I had to write this review as soon as I returned from my weekend in Cambria. I took my mom away for a belated birthday present and stumbled on the Olallieberry Inn by chance when looking for a place to stay. From start to finish, this was the best experience I've ever had in any place I've stayed, hands down. We were greeted with warm cookies and exceptional olallieberry iced tea or lavender lemonade when we checked in. Each night on the deck by the garden there was a different appetizer offered with wine. The breakfasts were AMAZING. Every single thing that was prepared for us was exceptional. The rooms are a perfect blend of historic and modern. There are small touches and updates everywhere - ample chargers by the bed, mints on each night stand, next to beautiful, antique lamps. Lovely smelling bath products in the bathroom. Fluffy bathrobes in the closets. Everyone took such good care of us. I asked for a microwave to heat up leftovers and in a few minutes I was presented with this (picture attached). I can't sing the praises of this perfect place enough. I will be back as soon as I can!!!

My partner and I recently stayed at the Olallieberry inn . We have stayed at many a major chain hotel before in our life's. I will start by saying I am afraid to stay anywhere else because it simply will never compare to our stay at The Olallieberry inn! We were greeted by our inn keeper Alicia (I believe is her name I hope that's right because she was amazing in all ways possible) with the brightest warmest smile and friendliest greeting I have ever experienced in my life! We have never experienced such warmth positivity friendliness and kindness before at any restaurant, hotel, BNB, etc. We were hesitant to stay on the beach as most visitors to this area do, in regards to the level of traffic and general congestion of tourists. The Olallieberry Inn is the way to go! So peaceful, quiet, and serene. At first glance it seems an inconvenience to stay in town as opposed to the ocean front views available. An in house happy hour with locally selected wines and freshly prepared hors d'oeuvres, beautifully presented scratch cooked breakfast, warm furnishings and beautiful antiquated decor make for a much better experience than that of any ocean front property! We were so pleased with the service, delicious food, and warm ambiance that we didn't even realize we were not ocean front! There is so much I am great full for in life and this stay has to be one of the most important and positive experiences in my lifetime! I will forever keep The Olallieberry Inn in my mind and heart when visiting anywhere along the California central coast!
