Cotton Cottage

To each his/​her own about what style of clothing they like. Is that something to base a review on? No! And to attack her looks speaks volumes about the person writing the review!
Pros — the clothing available for purchase is of good quality material, hence the higher prices. Well worth it, though. I’ve purchased quite a few pieces from this store and they are still doing their job. No frays, no stray threads, no shrinking…
Store owner is very friendly. She makes suggestions about what goes well with what and has always hit the mark for me. She really goes out of her way for all of her customers.
Lots of variety. If it isn’t on the shelves, the owner offers to order it for you.
Cons — this place can get super busy. So what do I do? Go get a glass of wine; after all I AM at a winery, and sit under the shade of the veranda and sip away until the herd has thinned out.
I will continue to shop here, because I like the light, springy and beachy clothing Cotton Cottage has to offer.

Wow, nothing like the owner ignoring you when you want to go pick up an item you ordered. She slowly redid displays, spoke with other people but couldn’t just hand the bag to somebody that already paid for an item. Do not shop here!!!
A few cute pieces in here, a lot of the same repetitive items and styles. The store is definitely in need of a remodel/​update. The store is cramped, dirty and poorly organized. The owner herself is a bit off-​putting. I do not find her to be helpful and friendly in any way, but rather pretentious and a know it all. The merchandise is colorful but all the same matronly drapey crap. When you drill it down it’s the same stuff reordered over and over again in different color palettes. Really?

At the Cotton Cottage you feel like in a cloud of… comfy cotton! literally. The boutique is tiny, but exploding with surprised one hanger at a time! So many cute items. I initially thought was a store focused in the 50+ age range, but I feel I can wear many of the colorful happy spring like tops and when feeling a happy hippy, one of those long cottony skirts. And, oh, give me one of those super pop hats too!
Overall, it is a very nice boutique, and I could see the owner very busy with her clientele (that probably turn out to be friends, she seemed to be very friendly lady very attentive to the customer she was helping). I also checked some nice jewelry and found the prices to be very reasonable to be inside the winery that caters many tourists and you expect higher prices in there.

Cute clothes but overpriced. You better make sure you like what you’re buying because they have a very strict return/​exchange policy. We use to like this shop until we experienced horrible customer service. The owner needs a lesson in appreciating good customers. She has now lost several of us. No more Cotton Cottage for us.

I love shopping at the Cotton Cottage at the Bernardo Winery in Rancho Bernardo. It has great resort type clothing at reasonable prices and the owner, Linda, is so accommodating. She will order something in your size, if it is not in the store. We live in MN but spend three months in the San Diego area and I look forward to lunch at the winery and shopping at the Cotton Cottage.
