morical house garden inn — Hotel in Ashland

I'm torn. On the one hand I want to keep this gem of a B&B to myself. On the other, it's just too good of a place not to say anything about. ||We discovered Morical House several years ago when looking for a place to stay while we were in Ashland seeing plays at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. We fell in love with place and haven't seen the need to go anywhere else. So many things to love about this property....| - Alicia, the proprietress, is a font of knowledge about the local area, the best restaurants to go to, the best wineries, and all the things you'd ever want to do while staying in Ashland. | - The breakfasts are spectacular. Hands down the best food I've ever had at B&B and probably 95% of the restaurants I've ever been to. They serve a three course breakfast! This is not your typical eggs and bacon in steamer trays type of place. This farm to table local fare that is beautiful and delicious. | - The gardens are beautiful and there's a deck overlooking the valley that's a nice place to have some wine on a warm afternoon. | - The rooms are lovely. We've always stayed in the carriage house and rooms 6 and 7 have fireplaces and window seats. Perfect for lazing away the afternoon reading.| - The inn is located a little under a mile from the edge of the plaza, which is a perfect distance to walk off the delicious food you'll have at breakfast.||In short Morical House is an oasis, a welcome respite from the outside world.

I completely disagree with the previous reviewer who is obviously someone who thrives on the American corporate culture experience. The Morical House is the perfect antidote to the Holiday Inn / Best Western type of hotel. This is a well run Bed and Breakfast with just the right amount of personal attention from the owner and her intelligent, charming staff. The breakfasts were an innovative, brilliant change from the usual scrambled eggs and bacon, danish and stale coffee fare that is offered at the chain hotels, no matter how 4 or 5 star they claim to be. Would you rather stay in a dung colored stucco "hotel" with its stale cigarette rooms surrounding a noisy car park ( parking lot) ......or a beautiful Victorian style home with a well tended massive garden?...who wouldn't want to laze in the hammock on a warm sunny afternoon, gazing up at the blue Oregon sky through green leaves and branches.....You are in Ashland for a unique experience, the Morical House will help it become a memorable one as it did for me and my wife...
