“Headlands Inn struck me as the rare Mendocino B&B that blends Victorian charm with truly thoughtful touches; I especially appreciated the promise of gourmet breakfasts served in-room and the well-situated location for exploring the headlands. From what I gather, the private decks and garden spaces offer appealing spots for unwinding, while the proximity to local events makes it an excellent choice for a relaxed, culturally rich getaway.”
