The room we stayed in was very nicely decorated and had everything we needed. It was obvious that a lot of thought was put into it. Nice place to stay in lieu of a hotel.

Charming

Charming “cottage” with great cookies and cold waters waiting. Parking is out front, bed and pillows very soft, and a number to call for the code to enter. The clean shower was not too too tiny and the signage showed to flip a light switch, which also dehumidifies it. They left us a great coupon for breakfast at a nearby bakery eatery.

A great night's sleep in old-world stylish comfort. We loved it here; little touches, like bottles of cold water in the fridge on arrival, go a long way.

A lovely place to stay

We loved the bigger room (Whiskey) for a little extra space. The room was nicely decorated and the fireplace added a cozy touch. What we were most impressed about was the service we got when one of lamps was missing the light bulb. The lamp itself actually didn't work so they tracked down a replacement lamp for us. That was definitely going above and beyond. The ice and water in the fridge was also helpful. Lastly, the breakfast voucher worked well and it was nice to get what we wanted. I would definitely recommend the Fiddler's Inn.

Carlsbad visit

Except for check in confusion, this place is a little gem . There is no reception desk and I didn’t receive any check in info prior to arrival but once we made contact, everything was a breeze. The room was adorable - quaint and comfy. Breakfast is next door at the blue house cafe (you get a voucher) and this is a happening and fun bakery cafe. This is an anti- chain type of place but I give it high marks and would stay again!
