Very good

Eva and Filip are wonderful hosts. I had a weekend event and they did everything possible to accommodate all of my guests. The rooms are comfy and decorated tastefully. Breakfast is delicious and served by Eva. They also have The Red Onion restaurant on the Peninsula. Wonderful food also.
Amazing B&B! Eva cooked my Wife and I an amazing breakfest and was very courteous, allowing us to check in late. Definitely highly recommended place to stay especially if your heading to Lassen National Park- we will be back!
The house and grounds are beautiful--a historic inn, family run. We enjoyed passing the afternoon sitting under the old apple tree. We only wish so many people hadn't stayed away from because of the fire in the area. The town and the inn deserved more guests.
For what I paid, it certainly wasn't as nice as I thought it would be. It was $527 for two nights. Our room was very dark and not much lighting. I realize it is a very old historical building, but they need to update some maintenance and repair. The window sill in our room was broken. It looked like there was some type of dowel to hold the window up. I tried to do that and the heavy window sill came down hard on my thumb! I'm glad my daughter was nearby to lift the window off of my hand! I mentioned it to someone in the office. My nail bed is sore and still black and blue. The best thing about our stay was the view of the backyard. The breakfast was also delightful and the girls who served us were very conscientious and sweet.
This is a traditional BnB in a homey setting on green and pleasant grounds. The building is an old hotel with a rear two story wing of rooms. Our room, the Rose Room , was airy and spacious. The breakfast was served either inside or outside on patio tables. It was cooked to perfection. I highly recommend Bidwell House.
