We love to take weekend trips from LA up to Santa Barbara and I cannot believe over the years I hadn't stayed at the Cheshire cat until now! WAY better experience than some of the local well rated and similarly priced hotels! If you are juggling between the hotel stay closer to main shopping area on state street versus the slightly further bnb choose this bnb you wont regret it! Clean, comfy, amazing communicative staff, and the breakfast, we just selected croissants because we had to get going and we figured they may just be fine/the bare minimum, oh no, it was some of the best fresh croissants we've ever had! Will no doubt be staying here again it'll be our new go to! The free parking is worth it too we've stayed at another hotel where we were forced to pay additional valet fees, they didnt do that here!

Enjoyed our stay at Tweedledum. The proprietor, Simon, was very responsive. He brought us robes, soap and bubble bath for the jacuzzi tub and fixed our WiFi. Simon was also knowledgeable about local sites and tours. This B&B is well priced. We would definitely stay here again.

The spot was beautiful. We stayed in one ofthe cottages since we brought our two young children. Perfect location, up the street from State Street which was exactly what we needed so we could just walk everywhere. Complimentary breakfast was amazing--it was so nice to have breakfast brought to our little cottage each morning. The owners were on site and very sweet. All in all it was the perfect stay--not a single issue while we were there. We will be back!

Everything about the inn was perfect. The warm cookies in the afternoon were especially tasty. The only recommendation we can offer is to upgrade the morning coffee. We can’t wait to come back.
