We stayed here for a couple of nights on short notice. The house is very centrally located in Sonora, yet very quit. The gardens are lovely. Our room was well appointed and had everything we might possible want. Eli is a very gracious and accommodating host. The breakfasts were deliciious, and we loved being able to choose what we wanted... More

Hi Claudia and thank you! I'm very glad that you enjoyed the comfortable Tuolumne room during your stay. You mentioned quiet--it is amazing how this inn is so close to the downtown (just 1 block from historic Washington street) and yet you have quiet and restful space here. Mary Lou and Billy Ray join me in thanking you for your... More

“warm and welcoming, relaxing and DELICIOUS”

Reviewed 19 April 2012

I've visited the Bradford Inn a few times and always find it delightful. I stay in the Yosemite room--it's on the first floor and not many stairs which is important to me. It's also a very large and comfortable room. I especially like that it has a separate shower and tub. Eli is warm and friendly and is very helpful... More

Visiting the US it's nice to find a friendly place--one that makes you feel at home so far away from home. I found the Bradford Place Inn and stayed in the Yosemite Room. It's large and very comfortable. I especially loved the fireplace on the cold nights. Eli is a warm and gracious host, a fabulous chef and entertaining with... More

“Warm and Welcoming”

Reviewed 27 December 2011

We have stayed at the Bradford many times when Dottie was the proprietor and this was our first stay with Eli. Eli is warm and welcoming as well as very accommodating. The atmosphere has changed but this is still a wonderful place to stay. We were in the Yosemite room this time which has a spacious bedroom and whirlpool tub... More

Well, thank you very much for your kind posting. I'm glad that you enjoyed your visit in the Yosemite room. This is our downstairs suite and is especially suited for breakfast in the room. I especially enjoyed meeting your family and the chance to celebrate the holidays with you. Of course the christmas cookies are seasonal, but I always try... More

This place is a real "gem" - I was expecting a wonderful stay, and was surprised just how wonderful, wonderful could be. The decor is comfortable, stylish and very much like home. The Inn Keeper, Eli, was charming and inviting and made us feel welcome at the first instant [he also has two very cute and affectionate dogs that add... More

All the reviews you read about Dottie the innkeeper were spot on, but now she has retired. The new Innkeeper is Eli. He's a nice guy, but the atmosphere at the B&B is pretty... More

Hi and thank you for your comments and concerns. There are a couple of items mentioned here that I would like to address. I'm sorry that your experience here wasn't exactly the way it was with the previous innkeeper. The previous innkeeper (Dottie) had her style and her menu and her pets (2 cats). The website and email confirmation both... More

Hi, this is Eli the new owner. Thank you for your visit and review. Tioga is our smallest room, but is very popular with many guests--I think perhaps because of the charming bathroom, but it's also got everything you want in a small room--personal split-mini air-conditioning, tub/shower, bathroom and a queen size bed. I'm glad you enjoyed your visit and... More

“Lovely and Comfy!”

This is a lovely Victorian house with delightful touches and an even more delightful innkeeper. Eli was welcoming, friendly, and more than willing to help enhance our stay in the Gold Country. Breakfasts were so fresh and delicious, and the bed was so comfortable! The location is perfect as a "home base" for exploring the surrounding area. We will certainly... More
