Reviews for Shady Oaks Country Inn

Review 1：Decor a little too country for my taste but that can hardly be considered a complaint.

Review 2：Proprietors we're welcoming and helpful. Location idea-quiet but convenient to many wineries. Breakfast great.

Review 3：Wish the room was a bit larger.

Review 4：The staff was wonderful ! The location and facilities were great. I was traveling with my 26 year old daughter and I only wish the room was s little larger as well as a bit larger bed. It seemed smaller than my queen at home.

Review 5：Cute and quaint decoration. Very comfortable beds. Delicious breakfast each morning. Even homemade croissants fresh from the oven. great value for the area. John and Lisa were delightful hosts. Highly recommended.

Review 6：This is a really nice B&B in the hart of Napa Valley. The place is not new (as expected), it is rather old and charming, and as a result has a lot of character, which we appreciated. The location is great, with easy access to Napa Valley, probably better than staying in the city of Napa. The owner also prepared a very nice breakfast in the garden, and gave advice of places to visit. Overall, this is a great place to stay.

Review 7：The female hostess, Lisa was incredibly cold and unfriendly our entire visit... She completely ignored us and went so far on one occasion, to ask the other couple if they would like cheese with their wine, however completely disregarded us, sitting in the same room with them... Perhaps because we were Canadian??

Review 8：Location was excellent, facilities very good, the food was yummy, the place was very clean and the male owner was friendly and hospitable.

Review 9：We found the beds a bit too small and did not like the fact that they charged our credit card for an extra service without having an upfront agreement

Review 10：The location was good although not in walking distance from town or restaurants. The owners/ hosts were very attentive and helpful. John offered complimentary red wine and cheese in the evening. We enjoyed playing boccia every evening. Breakfast was fantastic and very special.

Review 11：My wife get beating me on the Bocci court in front of the B&B.

Review 12：Loved the location. The main route 29 with wineries at one end of the road and Silverado Trail with more wineries on the other. The owner John is very knowledgeable about the area and offered great winery choices to meet our interests.

Review 13：Staff was very nice, great location and delicious breakfast.

Review 14：quite expensive for the facility

Review 15：St Helena is one of the best towns to stay in the napa valley. The keeper serves wine and cheese in the afternoon

Review 16：Friendly service , tasting breakfast ，comfortable room and enviroment. Perfect! Close to some famous winery.

Review 17：Breakfast was delish! very relaxing stay.

Review 18：Place was awesome staff was great and the breakfast was so good!

Review 19：The owners couldn't have been nicer and the breakfasts were great. I will definitely come back.

Review 20：Nicely done BnB. Quaint style. Very relaxed atmosphere.

Review 21：quiet, peaceful locatioin

Review 22：Stairs to our rooms and the lack of railings. Also not enough lighting on property

Review 23：The beds

Review 24：Small accommodations. Room size and bath.

Review 25：Location, area, clean, nice place.

Review 26：The furnitures, bathroom and room decor is out dated and it smelled like an old house.

Review 27：Breakfast, location and friendly service

Review 28：This accommodation is quite difficult to contact. Although I tried to call them several times, but they have almost never picked up the phone. Since I found another phone number on the message board after my arrival to the accommdation, I tried to call the number and finally owner picked up the phone. Actually, her attitude was arrognt and not really like a host of accommodation. Although they mentioned in the message board that they would provide wine and cheese from 5pm to 6pm everyday, we have never seen such a service. The location was nice to access anywhere in Napa Valley Windery, however, due to lack of comfortable service, we unfortunately would not reccommend this accommocation to stay.

Review 29：The family style breakfast was well prepared and delicious and the company (two other couples) was great. The location is ideal for visiting the wine country. The room was clean and well presented. We really enjoyed our stay and will consider them for future visits to St. Helena.

Review 30：Having to leave!

Review 31：The staff was very pleasant and the breakfast very good. I would recommend this place to others. We enjoyed the peacefulness and it was a good getaway for me. I'm a caregiver for my 91-year old wheelchair bound mother and also for my husband who has moderate stage alzheimers so it was a nice break for me.

Review 32：A tad on the pricy side but I guess we were in the heart of the Napa Valley.

Review 33：Room was beautiful. The innkeeper was very welcoming and holds a complimentary wine and cheese hour daily so we got to meet the other guests and chat with them. The breakfasts were amazing - truly delicious!

Review 34：That we paid $190 for a double bed in a small room, small shower, never saw the hosts, had to pay $1 for a bottle of water, the front door is always left unlock which is a safety concern, it was too far away from restaurants, etc. I will never stay there again.

Review 35：The area was nice

Review 36：Although a unique experience;many things are antiquated! Heating and shower facilities need to be updated! I fell out of the tub/shower while in the shower!

Review 37：The location is terrific; the accomodations totally different from your usual hotel room stay; the evening wine tasting and full breakfast make for a very homey experience; overall a very comfortable stay;your every need is attended to.

Review 38：The bed and breakfast is about 2 to 3 miles from St Helena, and taxis are very limited, so driving is the only option, not so good if the driver has been tasting the wines! Also it was disconcerting not to be met on arrival by anyone, there was a letter with instructions by the front door,which was unlocked, but no one around. This wasn't a major problem, just seemed a little odd.

Review 39：The breakfast was excellent, and the decor and comfort of the rooms cannot be faulted. The wine and cheese on the patio round the back of the house was nice touch.

Review 40：My Dad loved the Shady Oak, which is a first for a review in 30+ yearsof traveling all over the world with him. Breakfast and wine tastingwere great benefits unmatched by the competition. Owners and staff werepromptly responsive to any request.

Review 41：We thought the wine and cheese in the evening could have been better.

Review 42：The ambience was great along with the location.We liked the breakfast and bocce court.

Review 43：Furnishings a bit dated.

Review 44：Friendly, informative staff. The setting was in a great location for access to all of the Napa Valley. The B&B was clean and comfortable.

Review 45：not as shown on internet - not even close

Review 46：nothing

Review 47：Old home so noise of other guests was an issue.

Review 48：Good location. Friendly staff. Nice sit down breakfast.

Review 49：Stairs to unit and high beds-no screen on windows.

Review 50：Location and breakfast on the patio. The staff were wonderful.

Review 51：Could have used more communication from staff. They were mostly nowhere to be found.

Review 52：Clean, comfortable room. Quiet. Breakfasts were very nice.
