The Jabberwock Bed & Breakfast

This is the real deal! How many B&B's have you visited in recent years that still offer a served hot breakfast, afternoon tea and cookies, evening wine and appetizers, a stash of bottled water, soda, and juice, and a nightcap all included in the room rate? Add charm, elegance, cleanliness, spacious grounds and common rooms, easy parking, a warm welcome, and impeccable service to the list. Rick, Suzanne, and staff have thought of every little detail to make your stay comfortable and memorable. (Nope, you won't have to sacrifice a lamp to charge your phone.) I must also mention the proximity to Cannery Row - just a few blocks away. Some may not wish to tackle walking up the hill, but with all the goodies, you need to work off a couple extra calories. We treated ourselves to the Borogove room which provided a lovely sitting area with fantastic bay view and a cozy fire. Yes, there are a few squeaky floor boards, but what do you expect from a house that's 114 years old? Sit back, relax, and enjoy life!

We have fallen in love with the Jabberwock Inn. Rick (owner) & Dorothy (innkeeper) were wonderful hosts. They were so accommodating & kind. We were trying to make for hor’doeuvres & wine on Friday (5-6p). We ran into some traffic, so Dorothy placed it all in our room for us to enjoy when we arrived. All of the food was amazing. The care & attention that is provided is over-the-top the best! And to top it all off we were visited by several black tailed deer. The main space is a great place to sit & relax. We truly enjoyed our stay.

We loved our stay at the Jabberwock! Breakfast and hors d’oeuvres were delicious, the inn is beautiful, and we loved our room (Mimsy) and its view of the bay. The inn is in a great location, perfect for walking anywhere in Monterey. We will definitely be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night visit to The Jabberwock Inn. This is a beautifully restored 1911 Craftsman cottage centrally located in Monterey close to everything one would want in Monterey. The Inn is filled with beautiful Quarter sawn oak furniture that gives it a very homey atmosphere. Rick, Suzanne and Dorothy were great hosts and were very informative about everything related to the Inn as well as surrounding restaurants and wineries to visit. Breakfasts and evening wine and snacks were all freshly prepared and presented. We highly recommend this B&B and will stay here again on our next trip to Monterey. Thanks for a great experience!

What a great B & B! Rick and Suzanne are the best! The accommodations were great and the breakfasts were amazing! You can’t miss having the Jabber juice! They are so accommodating with the smallest of details! When my wife didn’t want a “sweet” breakfast, they prepared an omelet that she said was the best she’s had! They are so helpful with giving their opinion and where to go and what to do or not do. Dorothy, their “innkeeper” was a tremendous help as well! When we go back to Monterey, we will definitely stay at the Jabberwok Inn!

Stayed here for 2 nights as part of a longer road trip and were absolutely wowed by this very charming b&b. From initial booking to leaving we had a great experience. The b&b is in a safe area, close to the coastal walk, harbour seal viewing and Pacific Grove, there are also a number of great restaurants and bars nearby. Safe and free off street parking (car park out of use on our visit). Our room had an ocean view (we had booked a garden one, but were given the option to switch at no extra cost as they weren’t at full occupancy). Filtered water and a little decanter of brandy in the room and then a small fridge down a flight of stairs within a little cubby hole for guests to help themselves to bottles water, juices and fizzy drinks. Cookies and tea available 24/7 in the dining area. Wine and appetisers served every evening if you want it, recommend people do this as it’s a great way to meet other people staying there (only a small place so great to chat). Lots of things to look at in all of the rooms which make it the place it is, cute, unique and charming. Breakfast changed everyday and very different to the run of the mill meal. On our second day we had to leave early due to a pre booked excursion , we were left fruit, juice, coffee, breakfast bars and croissants to take with us. A fabulous stay, thank you
