What guests say
8.7 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 399 guest reviews
The Headlands Inn earns consistently strong sentiment for its outstanding breakfasts, characterful Victorian charm, and walkable location close to Mendocino's shops, restaurants, and beaches. Staff warmth is a recurring highlight, with personal touches like gifted wine for celebrations. Minor but repeated gripes include the absence of TVs and in-room fridges, and one notable complaint about heavily fragranced bedding.
