Carmel by the Sea is a treasure!

Carmel by the Sea is a treasure! Just walking Ocean Avenue and looking in the shops is such fun. And by all means walk the length of the beach as the sand gets easier to walk if you walk toward the left. And of course see and enjoy the charming architecture with so many story book houses.

A lovely town full of bars/restaurants boutique shops and galleries. Very walkable if you happen to be young and fit. We really liked Hog’s Breath Inn either for dinner (which was delicious and faultless) or afternoon drinks at the bar and the service was fabulous.

This is a beautiful upmarket town, unspoiled by high rise buildings and bad planning decisions. This was the third time we had visited and it has never disappointed. Quaint houses and shops, clean streets and wonderful beaches. Plenty of on street parking and friendly people. A must visit if you are in Northern California, as is the 17 mile, picturesque, drive between Carmel and Monterey.

Very beautiful and quaint but painfully overpriced as a whole. You can’t get a scoop of ice cream for less than $10. Only go if money is not an object at all. Expect to spend $50+/person for every meal.

Very pretty location with lots of boutique shops and variety of restaurants serving great food. Carmel beach is very beautiful but not for swimming in the sea due to the strong undercurrents. We stayed 1 night which was about right for us as we saw all we wanted to see. If travelling from Monterey, definitely do the 17 mile drive, It was stunning!

A beautiful but expensive city.

A beautiful but expensive city. The vibe is wine tasting, jewelry, art, designer clothing and restaurants with a beach nearby. The quality is good everywhere, with some exceptional locations. If you're looking for more than shopping and dining in a quiet, beautiful area, you may want to look elsewhere.

The hotel had an amazing location close to everything in Carmel, shops, restaurants, bars... Would describe as a boutique hotel. The rooms are lovely, the ambience of the hotel, water features, firepits were lovely.. ...we didn't want to leave the hotel in the evening as it was so relaxed and there were some great pizzas on offer. Another great touch was the complimentary breakfast! We travelled through California and stayed at quite a few hotels. This was the only hotel offering this!!

Beautifully decorated hotel right in the heart of Carmel. The staff on the front desk were very attentive and greeted us with sparkling wine on arrival. The rooms were comfortable and tastefully designed. We had a lovely nights sleep, despite the noise from the road outside. We didn't take advantage of the breakfast but nice to have it on offer.

The cottage is wonderful within its own private parking and a few minutes walk to the centre of Carmel by the Sea. The host was great with contact and information. We had everything we needed and were so happy we stayed an extra two nights. We didn’t want to leave. If you are visiting Carmel then this is the place to stay.

Having stayed in chain hotels prior to our stay at Carmel Country Inn we were met with a warm welcome, tea and cookies. A fire in our spacious room and a fantastic breakfast. We throughly enjoyed our stay in beautiful Carmel and at Carmel Country Inn.
