We stayed overnight at Hollyhock House and found it a delightful experience. The room was cosy and the bathroom was conveniently situated right next door.
The breakfast, prepared by hostess Lucille, was delicious. Baked breads prepared by herself, jams, , eggs, and fresh fruit, with juices and coffee to accompany the meal. Lucille is also a delightful and interesting conversationalist.

A very bright light outside the window which I could not block. No screen on the window, which needed to be open due to no airconditioning.

We loved our stay at Hollyhock. The owner has been doing this for over 35 years, the concept is nothing new to her. It is very European, you’re staying in a cozy room within her home. We had our own bedroom and bathroom, it all felt very private, and un-rushed. This was one of our more relaxing stays, the street was quiet, which may have aided in that serene feeling. Breakfast the next day was wonderful, we had so many options. If we ever visit Sonoma again we hope to stay at Hollyhock.

Very nice host with a well maintained old house. The only drawback is the lack of air conditioning.

We really enjoyed our stay, the historic and unique wood work, the old fashioned decors.
And of course Lucille’s hospitality and the wonderful breakfast.
We hope to return in the near future, and spend more time on the property to relax and bird watch.

My ONLY beef is that Expedia does NOT make it clear that you are renting a room in someone's house. This is something I normally would never do....and wouldn't have had I known... but the beauty of the Farmhouse, the kindness of our host Lucille, and the gorgeous breakfast made it worthwhile. And the bed is so comfy....I slept so soundly and peacefully! I enjoyed my stay very much.

This is a very charming nearly 100 year old farmhouse. Our room was very cozy and welcoming. Lucille made us feel right at home. We had a wonderful breakfast including fresh baked bread and pastries. We enjoyed our stay here and loved this very unique and special place.

Building was so old and out of the way that we did not stay. Kitchen was right next to the room. No bathroom off room. Had to go out of room and use a shared bath so we decided not to stay.

Great clean property. Very kitschy and unique. The host Lucille is accommodating and gives great tips on places to check out nearby. House stayed nice and cool during the hot days and it was nice to fall asleep to the crickets chirping outside.
One thing to note is the shower is more of a tub with a shower attachment, not a traditional shower.

I liked the natural setting, uniqueness, art, furnishings, excellent Hostess, location. Its secluded yet close to town.

This is a country farmhouse filled with antiques, art and memorabilia. This is a European style bed and breakfast establishment. The rooms are small, you do not have a private bathroom but it is cozy, quiet, charming, and clean. The house is situated on a large property with lots of greenery. You can sit out on the covered front porch and watch the birds. The owner lives on the property and serves a continental breakfast with delicious home baked bread and pastries. This is probably not the place for someone looking for a base of operations while spending an extended time in the Sonoma Valley but it is great for one or two nights of touring.

We stayed here for one night. It is a beautiful Arts and Crafts home with alll original features. Lucille, the host, made us feel welcome and comfortable. She was also really helpful with directions to the centre of town (about 30 minutes walk) and with routes to run in the morning. Breakfast was lovely. A quaint place to stay and a very pleasant experience.

Very quiet place 5 minutes by car to town of Sonoma.
Lucille is friendly & artistic & provides yummy homemade bread & strudel for breakfast.
The room & bed are small, the bed is a bit "tired" & there is no shower; just a bathtub.
Overall it's a sweet place to stay.

Funky old farmhouse, congenial host, very quiet location. No Wine Country luxury here, just a good bed and nice homemade pastries. Good price for summer in Sonoma.

dont be mistaken, this is not a hotel. It is a home welcoming guests. That being said, we felt very welcome and Lucille was a great host. the bathroom may need a little updating.

Despite Expedia saying "hotel" twice in their booking confirmation, when I eventually located what I thought was a country house hotel it turned out to be a very basic B & B. I was extremely disappointed particularly as I was booked for 2 nights.
Expedia must make it clear whether the premises are a hotel or a B & B. This is the second time that Expedia have done this to me.

I was concerned at first when I read some of the other reviews but I am glad I stayed here. First, it was the only place I could find that would allow me to stay only one night. That alone was a big bonus. It was neat and clean and the owner, Lucille, was very nice and attentive. If you expect a luxury hotel you will be disappointed. I agree with other reviewers who said it reminded them of an old style European B and B. It was just a room and a bathroom. The lack of a shower was probably the only thing that I didn't like. It's an old clawfoot tub and she has a hose attached so you can easily rinse off. But I think it would get old if you were staying several nights in a row.
Overall it was very nice and quaint and I would stay there again if I had to be there for a night or two. She told me she has two rooms and one bath but she knows people don't like to share a bathroom so she only rents both rooms out at a time if the people know each other.
Continental breakfast was simple but good. If you prefer a personal touch instead of giant hotel chains this is the place for you.

Very rustic! You are basically staying at someone's home, not your typical Sonoma/Napa B&B. The bathroom was not connected to our room, but was close. Also there was no shower. That being said our hostess was very nice, the bed very comfortable and the area very quiet.

Cozy farmhouse, wonderful service. The homemade pastries and continental breakfast were amazing. Had breakfast with two deer laying just outside the window. Very quiet.

if I find myself in Sonoma again.

We had reservations for this "B&B" and were totally NOT happy. It was out 1 year wedding anniversary and ended up staying on a friends couch to avoid returning to the Hollyhock. There was NO Shower, we were shown to our room that was small and smelled. We felt very uncomfortable from the first moment we walked in the back door. We were shown no garden, no pool, no lobby/ fireplace.... just our OLD, uncomfortable, smelly room. My husband and I had to leave for dinner and could not return. Instead we called a friend and stayed with them, t least they had a shower and we felt welcome.
