Hollyhock Country House

We stayed overnight at Hollyhock House and found it a delightful experience. The room was cosy and the bathroom was conveniently situated right next door. The breakfast, prepared by hostess Lucille, was delicious. Baked breads prepared by herself, jams, , eggs, and fresh fruit, with juices and coffee to accompany the meal. Lucille is also a delightful and interesting conversationalist.

A very bright light outside the window which I could not block. No screen on the window, which needed to be open due to no airconditioning.

We loved our stay at Hollyhock. The owner has been doing this for over 35 years, the concept is nothing new to her. It is very European, you’re staying in a cozy room within her home. We had our own bedroom and bathroom, it all felt very private, and un-rushed. This was one of our more relaxing stays, the street was quiet, which may have aided in that serene feeling. Breakfast the next day was wonderful, we had so many options. If we ever visit Sonoma again we hope to stay at Hollyhock.

Very nice host with a well maintained old house. The only drawback is the lack of air conditioning.

Lucille is wonderful. This is a true, unique b and b experience. Loved our stay.

Host was very accommodating, kind and friendly! This a sweet older home with lots of charm.

Lucille was a wonderful hostess Beautiful breakfast and lovely conversation. I couldn’t ask for more.

We really enjoyed our stay, the historic and unique wood work, the old fashioned decors. And of course Lucille’s hospitality and the wonderful breakfast. We hope to return in the near future, and spend more time on the property to relax and bird watch.

My ONLY beef is that Expedia does NOT make it clear that you are renting a room in someone's house. This is something I normally would never do....and wouldn't have had I known... but the beauty of the Farmhouse, the kindness of our host Lucille, and the gorgeous breakfast made it worthwhile. And the bed is so comfy....I slept so soundly and peacefully! I enjoyed my stay very much.
