Secret Garden Inn & Cottages - Santa Barbara, California

Jennie C.

Amazingly relaxing stay! My cottage had a private garden that I really enjoyed because my goal for the trip was just to relax and do nothing. My daughter and her boyfriend had one of the cottages with the hot tub that they used several times a day in between beach trips. The breakfast in your room was hot and yummy each day. Close enough to the beautiful beaches that we were able to come back mid day for a nap then back to the beach.

The Secret Garden Inn is a wonderful place to feel at home and enjoy waking up to a delicious quiche, cruisant, fresh fruit breakfast. Warm and very friendly staff. A cozy dog friendly space with hot tub. It is centerally located near great restaurants, the beach, Mission and Santa Barbara Botanical Gardens.
- We look forward to our next stay....Very Soon!

This bed and breakfast has a special place in my life. My wife and I visited it when we were in our 20s and we are now in our 50s. The charm, serenity, privacy, and feeling of escape has remained consistent. Now that we are older, we brought our son and his girlfriend, each of us staying in one of the small cottages (we stayed in the Wood Thrush, the same room we first began our memories in, and they stayed in the Hummingbird). We truly loved our stay and only wished we could have stayed longer. Dominique is a lovely hostess, from the care she puts into her establishment to the breakfasts she carefully prepares to the warm atmosphere she creates. We highly recommend you add it to your memories. A+

Very nice experience to stay here. So nice French lady owns it, and she hosted us in a French style with a delicious huge breakfast with croissants and fruits and she was so nice that she remembered that I am vegan and made me absolutely fabulous vegan pesto polenta and French bread made of almond flour. I was in 7th heaven to find out! The room was cozy, clean, and quiet. We will always come back to this place if we come to Santa Barbara, and will keep recommending to our friends and family.

Absolutely delightful.
The room was small and had character - just the way we like it! Very comfortable. It had a large bathroom, hairdryer, mini-fridge, coffee maker and television, our own private patio, and chairs in the garden! What more could we need?
The perfect breakfast, of course! Oh, my, to sit in that lovely garden with a full breakfast was dreamy! Thank you so much for a lovely stay!

This was one of the best experiences I've had. We reserved two cottages and one room to attend the premiere of our film at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. Dominique was so lovely and gracious. Her breakfast options are outstanding and delicious! The cottages are beautiful – truly a home away from home. This is absolutely a place I will return to. Thank you, Dominique for making us feel so welcome!!

Absolutely lovely stay. Very comfortable and cute. Air conditioning worked well in the Whirlpool cottage. Clean and had daily housekeeping. We enjoyed our delicious breakfast in the garden. Friendly cat named Peanut (:

Look at the website. Most buildings in the SB area are older, this b&b is no exception to that, so know what you're walking into.

The place is beautiful and quiet, exactly what we were looking for. The breakfast was huge, and the croissants are out of this world.

Wife and I will 100% return and enjoy our alone time in the beautiful scenery this excellent b&b provides.

Great, friendly service - can't wait for our next stay.
