I have stayed in just about all of the pet-friendly B & B's on Moonstone Beach in my many years of coming to Cambria for long weekend getaways. In my experience, Cambria Shores is the cleanest, most well-maintained, most pet-friendly, and overall nicest place of all of them. Yes, the other places accept pets, but Cambria Shores genuinely welcomes them with open arms. Their nightly happy hour, and freshly baked cookies and brownies in the lobby are an extra bonus. Wonderful place to recharge your spirit.
