Lakeport English Inn

Top choice in Along Highway 101


The finest B&B at Clear Lake is an 1875 Carpenter Gothic with 10 impeccably furnished rooms, styled with a nod to the English countryside and with such quaint names as the Prince of Wales or (wait for it) Roll in the Hay. You'll get a $10 discount on your room if you say 'Baby Prince George' while making the reservation.

A daily afternoon-tea ritual, known as cream tea, involves scones, fresh strawberry jam and real Devonshire cream (for guests only). High tea is celebrated seasonally and is open to nonguests (make reservations).
