“Great location, nice garden, cute house”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 July 2008
1
person found this review helpful

Loved that the Inn was walking distance to town because it's nice to ditch the car and enjoy a walk after dinner or to dinner. I have never stayed in a B&B so didn't really know what to expect.
The house was a really cute and cozy historic home. Great old windows and doors and other neat little features.
There was some street noise which I thought at first would be bothersome but it really wasn't, especially at night. Phillip, who was our host, was very pleasant and very nice. Waking up to coffee already made and breakfast cooking and interesting conversation was great.
The backyard garden/courtyard was amazing. At night it was lit up with little white lights. Would definitely stay there again. I looked at other B&B's while i was there in Calistoga and was glad that I had picked the Wayside.

“Eurogirl000”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 May 2008

Stayed one night at this B&B. Was very disappointed. Too expensive for what it's worth- just like everything else in Napa Valley. We could hear street noise, they serve a weird french toast for breakfast- something they experimented on, the fruit was not fresh. Our room was next to the kitchen where you could hear them cook breakfast early in the morning. The toilet and shower were separated. the shower was like a phonebooth in the room.

They recommended us to go to a small winery that sold cheap quality wine at high price- must have been their relatives.

For over $300 they charged us for this room? We would definitely not recommend this place!

“Had a Lovely Weekend Getaway”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 February 2008

people found this review helpful

We spent two nights at the Wayside Inn and recommend it strongly to those visiting Calistoga. The innkeeper, Jennie, is warm and friendly and breakfast is delicious! We stayed in the Delaney room and thought it was very comfortable and nicely kept. During the day there is some noise from the street but at night it was very quiet. The house is very well kept and everything was pristine and nice.

“Wayside Cottage, sister hotel to chelsea garden Inn”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 November 2007

people found this review helpful

We were recommended the Chelsea Graden Inn by the visitor centre in Napa. For our stay it was full and Jenny who runs the Chelsea Garden Inn recommended their sister hotel the Wayside cottage as an alternative. We actually thought the Wayside was much nicer. Very homely and well kept, we found it all very welcoming and a very nice place to stay. It was good value with lots of amenities to enhance your stay. We would definetely go back there again.

  • Liked — very homely and it was very welcoming
  • Disliked — some of the facilities (e.g. self catering) were not available in the bed and breakfast package
  • Stayed October 2007, travelled on business
