Great place to relax and super close to everything we wanted to experience. Bed was very comfortable and enjoyed cool weather outside. My husband enjoyed walking to Albertsons! Amenities were spot on. Definitely we would stay here again! Thanks for a beautiful stay!

I was fortunate to get a detached room with my own driveway. It was lovely, comfortable and had everything I needed. Conveniently located. Tried a couple of their restaurant recommendations which were great. Would highly recommend staying here!

Quiet, clean, convenient street parking. Provided breakfast vouchers to a nice cafe nearby! In the room we stayed the shower head may need to be cleaned or replaced as it sprayed water all over.

This B&B was an amazing find. The check in process was a breeze (make sure to call them directly for your door code!) and we loved the full kitchen feature. The property is private but can accommodate multiple guests in different parts of the yard. A must stay (and return) location!

Carlsbad, NM is surprisingly lovely with a beautiful riverfront park, complete with a 4 mile walking loop under giant shade trees and a swimming area. The Fiddler’s Inn is just blocks from the river on a quiet street near a grocery store. Our private “apartment” was spacious and comfortable, with morning breakfast available for pick up next door at the Blue House Bakery. This place was perfect for couples or a young family. Great digs for a reasonable price!

This was a cute little home, with a grocery down the street. The bathroom was a little dated. We had some flying insects in the room. Bed was comfortable, AC worked very well.

We travel a lot and I have a mixed review about this location. Pros: Check in was easy and the room was quaint. We stayed in the Whiskey Before Breakfast room. There were cookies waiting for us, which was nice along with ample coffee products. The coupon for a discount at a local restaurant was appreciated. Cons: There was an unpleasant urine-ish odor to the room (such as carpet steam cleaned over pet odors) Our “breakfast included” was an $18 voucher to a cafe a short walk from the B&B. We ended up having to pay additional $12 as the voucher didn’t cover our minimalist order. Part of the door jam was missing from the bottom of the door leaving an opening under the door for potentially unwanted “critters”. I didn’t feel comfortable keeping my suitcase open or my shoes on the floor. It does have potential. New carpet and a repair to the door jam would be helpful. I probably wouldn’t stay here again.

Easy to get to and catty-corner from an Albertson's so if you need snacks or supplies you can walk to it. Main concern was that the front was not well-lighted: hard to find after dark as it's in a residential area and the neighboring properties look the same. Also, there was no porch light so you had a hard time punching in your keycode numbers. We stayed in the 2-room suite (the Orange Blossom), which had a big bed in each but the room that doubled as the front didn't have a good lounge area in the front part - it could have used a couple of comfy chairs or a loveseat. The breakfast is a cafe a couple of doors down and you get an $18 voucher, which pretty much covers a coffee and a treat for two people. No complaints about that! The backyard cat was preoccupied with a dead bird so he didn't greet us. I cannot fault the humans for this. All in all a very nice place that could use just a little more to push it over the top, but well worth your visit.
