Dawn Wright2019-12-14T21:57:29+0000Lovely establishment with great service but also too cold in the rooms in December. Heaters in my room have never been... effective. So just be forewarned to bundle up if you happen to stay here while SANTA Barbara weather is not ideal.read more Steven Turgetto2019-11-16T15:43:33+0000I particularly enjoyed the breakfast.

The comfy beds, and pillows(!), are... heaven! Love that it’s so close to State Street and a great place for walking and exploring the heart of the city. The fine wine and cheese in the afternoons was a special treat, too! No need to hunt for a good restaurant: the house restaurant, “Louis”, cannot not be topped! All in all a very happy and beautiful experience! Heartily recommend!read more Alexandra Klein2019-03-06T23:42:36+0000Beautiful location, fun amenities like good breakfast, wine and cheese in the afternoon, and cookies and milk in the... late evening.

The staff was very friendly, our room was very comfortable and nice. Here’s where it gets better: I sent my husband down for champagne glasses and fruit, we brought our own bottle. The staff asked him what we were celebrating, and in regular conversation he told them we we starting our anniversary festivities. Next thing you know there’s a knock at our door, a woman delivering a bottle of champagne. We did not order, so my husband calls downstairs only to find out they sent it to us! They also included a very lovely Happy Anniversary card! This was so unexpected! We are very grateful for such a nice gesture. Not only was this a beautiful place to stay and we definitely will stay again, we are so impressed with the service and kindness.read more Emma Covarrubias2018-09-30T18:31:56+0000I Love this place.

Very friendly staff. Cottage was awesome. Oh my. What charming cottage, it was like... stepping back in time. Good size sitting / queen bed sleeping area room. Walk in closet with nice size bathroom. Working fireplace. Large tv and lots of space for your clothing. Also had a twin sleeper bed, which made it nice for extra guest. Nice sitting area porch with rose garden out side. With a very large quaint sitting lawn, garden area, with a nice bubbling fountain in a arbor area. Nice gazebo sitting area. Morning continental breakfast. Afternoon wine, cheese and crackers and fruit and fruit juice. Also, coffee, tea, and hot coco all day long. Late evening there is cookies and milk. There is an onsite restaurant - excellent food and friendly staff. The Upham Hotel and country house is with in a short walk to downtown, transportation, restaurants, Starbucks, show, antique stores, restaurants of multi bounty. No pets. Sorry. Place does need a general maintenance work to present the idea it was just built, and not over 100 years old. I came for the peacefulness, quiet, ability to sit outside and relax without being eaten by bugs, no neighbors constantly wanting to chatter. Wonderful ambiance. Recommend The Upham Hotel and Country House to anyone who wants the stepping back in time life and to feel special. Enjoy.read more Shannon Bloxham Turner2017-07-09T19:30:12+0000Lovely, peaceful.
