Calderwood Inn

My wife and I were on a Roadtrip from Seattle to San Francisco and planned to have 2 nights in Sonoma but had nothing booked until 2 days before arrival. The Calderwood appeared on a Google Search and after some quick research, decided it was perfect for our needs. Being part of the Wilson Wineries, I read Free Tastings were part of the package so booked. Jude was great taking our room booking. KiKi was fab by booking Tasting Sessions over 3 days. She was also an awesome host and went above and beyond. We had a Standard Room and perfectly acceptable with charm and character. Being over 6ft the sloped ceiling in bathroom was not without its challenges 🤣. Breakfast just arrives when you sit down and you have no idea what to expect - bit of fun! Living area lovely. Don't pay much attention to the negative commemts - the Charlwood is fab. It's not a 5 or 4 Star official award but everything about our stay was 5*. Only ****** was check in times change so we saw nobody to check us in but excellent instructions were suffice and ,....... as said before in other Reviews, you miss out on the wine at Check In when you most want/need one!! Thanks Charlwood Team. Jonathan & Josephine

We absolutly love the Calderwood, this was our 3rd stay and four days wasn't long enough. The proximity to great restaurants and wineries can't be beat. The service is always excelent and friendly, Tracey the Innkeeper and Catarina in Housekeeping are the Best! We will return! Barbara & Jim

The Calderwood Inn could be a five star Bed and Breakfast with more attention to detail. The home seems shabby and not in a chic way. Some physical examples include frayed rugs , chipped paint, tattered and filthy outdoor furniture covered with bird droppings,lack of ground keeping ( leaves and large twigs and branches, high grasses and ****s) The floors in our suite were warped and we couldn't close or lock our bedroom door. The innkeeper at the time of our arrival left during the " wine hour" and we asked about door security at the front of the house and she chuckled and said we don't lock the front door. She was extremely unfriendly and unwelcoming. The desk workers or innkeepers seemed completely disinterested in hospitality. Breakfast was good . The water dispenser was not always filled... sometimes empty.There was not coffee , tea or cookies all day as promised. Housekeeping was hit or miss.... mostly miss. We enjoyed the Wilson wine tastings and joined clubs and thoroughly enjoyed Joanie at Delormier and Heather at Sofa Rock and Chris at Mazzaco They were all outstanding. Same type of hospitable employees are BADLY needed at the inn..

Very clean and quaint place. It’s a very well kept historical home and the free breakfast well planned and good. The little touches of fresh cookies when you return back from a long day, is very pleasant. The location is great and near everything. We would surely, return…

Calderwood is a very comfortable inn with a very relaxed vibe. Spacious living and outdoor areas gave plenty of space to relax after a day at the wineries. It Is an easy walk to the plaza for wine tasting or restaurants. Staff were friendly and helpful.

We had a lovely stay at the Calderwood. The room was spacious, clean and uniquely decorated. Loved the shared areas downstairs which includes a large living room, dining room and a front porch. They had enclosed the front porch for the season, so we were still able to enjoy a glass of wine outside. The breakfast was delicious and filling with fresh ingredients. The Inn is located just a short walk to the downtown area with lots of restaurants, shops and tasting rooms.

The property was very beautiful and appropriately decorated with unique, special pieces. The chef prepared a delicious gourmet breakfast, and was very personal and friendly. Other than that, we would have been happier at any chain hotel down the road, and saved some money. The housekeeper was not clear at check in, giving one of us some instructions, and giving different written instructions to the other. We were asked to move our car after checking in, so moved it to street parking. We later found out that there was more secure parking further behind the property, but no one told us that. We left for dinner, and returned at 6:50, in the pouring rain, and were locked out, with no emergency number or code to the outside door. After FaceBook messaging the property and calling the local police we finally got a return call in about 20 minutes. Apparently the code was on the paper given to the spouse, who didn't do the checking in, and no code was mentioned to the person who did. We didn't bring that paper along to dinner. Furthermore, there was supposed to be an emergency phone number posted outside, and the next day there was. We were leaving earlier than the scheduled breakfast hour on our final day, and as suggested on "the paper", we requested "to-go" breakfasts of a muffin, and such. When we left the property at the hour we told the housekeeper that we would be leaving on the prior night, there was nothing prepared for us, and no one around to inquire with. Lastly, there were damp towels, neatly rolled up and placed along the wall behind the beautiful claw-foot bathtub, so the bathroom smelled like mold.

We were able to make a last-minute reservation on New Year’s Eve. (Had planned a day trip, but brought along overnight bags, jic!). Haley, our host, graciously welcomed us, and we had a wonderful overnight stay in the upstairs Mazzocco Room, where a bottle of Mazzocco’s 2021 Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel Verano was waiting for us. We checked in too late to snag a cookie, so we might just have to return soon! Breakfast was delicious and ample. The host and chef were gracious, and the house is beautifully appointed.

Lovely home and convenient to the square. The beds were great and so was breakfast.
