A Unique Experience

You are not just a guest at The British Place – you are my guest in my home.

The house was built around 1910, and the interior is designed to complement the architecture of that period. English antique furniture blends with modern art, and soft wool rugs add comfort to the Brazilian cherry floor. (Please pack slippers in your overnight bag.) Hand-made quilts and photographs of my travels adorn the walls, adding color and texture. The window seat makes a perfect place to observe birds at close hand as they breakfast from the feeders

On arrival you can f settle yourself with a good book on the deck and watch the passion flowers wafting in the breeze, listening to the distant bark of the sea-lions. Stroll down to Westcliff drive (6 mins) one of California’s most diverse nature walks, with sure sightings of pelicans, cormorants, sea-lions, sea otters, star fish and sea anemones. Or maybe head to Natural Bridges State Park (25 mins) to witness the winter home of the Monarch butterflies. The Wharf with its multitude of shops and restaurants, and the Boardwalk are landmarks of history. A 30-minute walk can have you drinking morning coffee on the Wharf or sampling one of the fine seafood restaurants there. If the weather is British you can stay ‘home’ and watch a movie, read, play the lovely Yamaha grand piano, or drive downtown (5 mins) to sample the delights of Pacific Avenue. If you like you can even cook dinner or do your laundry!

The master bedroom has a Queen size bed and TV. The bathroom features a claw foot bathtub. Relax in the comfy den with fully loaded cable TV, video and DVD player, CD player and – yes, turntable! The kitchen and bathroom have both been refitted within the last two years. High speed wireless internet is available throughout the house.
