 "What
a fabulous find this was on the internet ...better than we even
anticipated. Many thanks to Cindy and Gus for sharing their beautiful
home with us. The guest suite was so cozy and inviting we didn't
want to leave. Don't miss Cindy's wonderful breakfast! Superb
hospitality and wonderful recommendations for wineries, restaurants,
etc. I hope the rest of our journey down the coast is as delightful
as our stay here." - Nancy and  George,
Pompano Beach, Fl.
"To the best innkeepers of all: thanks for a fabulous stay.
We couldn't have asked for better accommodations or better hosts.
Can't wait to see you again soon." - Gretchen and Ivan, Phoenix,
Az.
"Cloverdale is far enough away from the Bay Area to enjoy
the peace and quiet of the area and yet close enough for a quick
getaway. The Tea Garden is a wonderful place to stay. Cindy is
a gracious hostess and an excellent cook. Our room was pretty
and comfortable. Thank you!" - Anna and Howard, San Francisco,
CA
"My stay here was brief, but I would have gladly stayed
many more days if my schedule permitted. The lead I received about
The Tea Garden Inn was that it was an extraordinary stay and value,
which certainly is an understatement! I'll make another visit
my business now that I've found this gracious locale and hospitality.
Cindy and Gus, you've really created a home away from home. I
intend to recommend this as an ideal vacation spot to all my friends."
- Connie A., Scottsdale, Az.
"As hurricane Francis bore down upon Florida we decided
at the last minute to change our travel plans and spend the Labor
Day weekend in Ca wine country. The Tea Garden Inn came highly
recommended and from my first conversation with Cindy to the end
of our stay-I can see why! We arrived as weary travelers-greeted
warmly by Gus who showed us around. Our room was an instant haven-spacious,
yet cozy; with a wonderful whirlpool tub. Every morning, we were
treated to a elicious breakfast. Cindy and Gus made wonderful
winery and restaurant recommendations. We enjoyed relaxing drives
under a canopy of foliage, exploring the many "back roads"
of Sonoma County. We depart relaxed and renewed, already planning
our next trip. The Inn was BY FAR the nicest we have ever stayed
in. We look forward to returning and are more than happy to recommend
the Inn to friends." - David and Betty, Dallas, Tx.
"Breakfast here is like Christmas every day! Thanks again."
- Christine, Tampa FL
"We were looking for a weekend getaway from work, familiar
surroundings and the daily reminder of things to be done. We found
it at The Tea Garden Bed and Breakfast Inn. Cindy and Gus welcomed
us, recommended many fabulous options and made our stay just what
we needed. We leave feeling rested, renewed and very satisfied.
We will come back. Who can resist good food, great hospitality
and comfortable quarters." - Michael and Judith, Napa, Ca
"The Cottage Rose Suite is a small piece of art. Every little
corner has a soul and is as perfect as a thing of beauty can be.
We were almost afraid of using something and disturbing the wholeness
and spirit of the environment. Our stay was exceptionally comfortable
and it has to do not only with the inn but also with the inn-keepers.
Gus and Cindy are the sweetest and nicest, genuine and kind innkeepers
we've ever met! They made us feel right at home, with their smiles
and warm attitudes. Back in India (which is home for us) they
say that a house will remain a house even if has the nicest, beautiful
furniture or expensive decor but will be a "home" only
if the owners are warm and sincere. Gus and Cindy give a new truth
to this saying. Thanks for sharing your "home" with
us! We will be back!!" - Mohit and Surkhi, Sunnyvale, Ca
"My husband surprised me with this trip to the wine country
for my 55th birthday. It was our 1st adventure here and Cindys'
suggestions for wineries and restaurants were superb! We had wonderful
breakfasts & I bought the cookbook to recreate the breakfasts.
Thanks for providing the relaxing setting-we really enjoyed the
tub!" - Mary and Ron,
Phoenix, Az
"We have stayed in a lot of B&Bs and this is one of
the best! We will return and recommend you to our friends. This
was a relaxing way to finish off a 2400 mile road trip!"
-Jeff & Paula, Woodland Hills, Ca
"What a delightful experience! We decided to take a relaxing
getaway and we found the perfect place! The Inn is absolutely
wonderful. Cindy is the perfect hostess & Gus (over the phone)
was so friendly. Loved the homey touches in the cottage. And the
breakfast was delicious! Thanks so much to Cindy & Gus."
Mirabeth & Dick, Riverbank, Ca
"What a wonderful way to celebrate our 1 year anniversary!
Cindy and Gus, thank you so much for your wonderful (again) hospitality.
You gave us great recommendations on transportation and places
to taste & dine. I will definitely recommend your inn to friends
coming to Sonoma. " -Dave & Toby, San Bruno, Ca
"As with previous stays, Cindy and Gus made this a terrific
trip with their outstanding accomodations, great breakfasts and
excellent suggestions for wine tasting, dining and other activities.
We came, ate wonderful food, drank some outstanding wines, walked,
enjoyed a wonderful car show and return home relaxed and re-energized.
We look forward to staying with you again next year. Thank you
for everything." -Stan & Maria, Aptos, Ca
"Cindy & Gus, we want to thank you so much for everything!
I can't tell you how much we appreciated your down to earth hospitality
and friendliness. The room was absolutely gorgeous! I'm just sorry
our stay isn't much longer. Thank you again for our breakfast-puff
pancakes. What a treat! We look forward to visiting you again
and will indeed, tell our friends and families about your excellent
accommodations. God bless you." -Chris and Cynthia, Morgan
Hill, Ca
"Cindy & Gus, thank you for your wonderful hospitality!
Gus was such a gracious "receptionist" when we arrived
late and we immediately felt at home. Our room was beautiful and
so comfortable. You thought of everything to make our stay here
a real treat. Must also mention the delicious "gourmet"
breakfasts. All in all, we will not forget this simply wonderful
stay in our travels. " George & Vivian, Malden, Ill
"Gus and Cindy, thank you so much for providing such a wonderful
place to get away and relax. The room is so cute & cozy. We
loved it! Thank you for the great breakfast & hospitality.
You helped make our stay in Sonoma a memmorable one." -Cynthia
& Adam, Austin, Tx
" Down in S. Ca. where I live-the air is awful from 20 burning
wild fires, my back yard is still in ruins from my awful neighbors'
building project and my house is in the middle of my rehab project,
so you can see why it is so nice to be in this calm, pampering
room! It is so beautiful in Sonoma this time of year, I'm having
a great week of R&R. Blush pink is such a pretty color and
I matched my wine to my room-enjoying some Blanc d Noir champagne
& the Jacuzzi!" -Jamie, Pacific Palisades, Ca
" As a spur of the moment decision, I decided to surprise
my husband with a weekend getaway for his birthday and our 31st
anniversary. Being a country boy, and his dad being a fiddler,
I thought it would be great taking him to the Cloverdale Old Time
Fiddle Contest. After pulling up B&Bs on the internet, I chose
the English Tea Garden Inn. We have had a great 3 nights and great
fiddle music. We agree with everyone else that the breakfasts
were great, very different. My favorite was the broiled grapefruit
and I don't even like greatfruit! That's how good the food was.
The room was so cozy with fireplace and all the little extras
and then some. Gus and Cindy have a great B&B and are great
hostesses. We hope to return for another memorable stay. "
-Bud & Fran, Rocklin, Ca
"Thanks, wonderful, warm and cozy little place to stay while
visiting our Cloverdale family. Best wishes to you and all the
friendly cats!" - Lee & Dan, Covolo, Ca
"After cycling from Healdsburg through the Alexander Valley
in headwinds, we came upon this beautiful place with anticipation.
When Cindy said she would upgrade us to the Cottage Rose, I was
so pleased. When she opened the door & we stepped in, I cried-especially
when I saw the hot tub. Our aching, tired muscles were soothed,
our senses were filled with lavender and our spirits were rejuvenated
by this romantic place. " -Lisa & Chris, Concord, Ca
