This is our fourth stay at Secret Garden. It's a charming place with a beautiful garden and patio where you can eat breakfast on a nice day. The breakfast is varied and home cooked. We had different kinds of quiche, baked goods, fruit, and of course coffee or tea and juice. The cottages are furnished with vintage or antique items but offer modern amenities such as an electric tea pot. We'll definitely look to Secret Garden when we visit Santa Barbara again.
A wonderful, secret garden place in Santa Barbara! The name truly says it all. Miss Dominique and Miss Florence are the most gracious hostesses. The room and hot tub were clean and inviting. The grounds are quiet and perfect for eating the delicious breakfast that comes with the stay. You could tell that the croissants were made by someone who knows the correct French pastry. Within walking distance of the Mission and downtown State street it is everything one could want in beautiful Santa Barbara! Thank you for the wonderful time!
I have stayed at the Secret Garden for years, and introduced many friends. It's a peaceful, and restful collection of lovely cottages, centered around a lovely old house. Dominique Hannaux is the owner and has kept the atmosphere welcoming and immaculate for all the years I've attended. I just celebrated a birthday there with my partner, and had a lovely time reminiscing with her. This place is a gem, and should be your first choice in Santa Barbara!
Beautiful quiet spot in Santa Barbara with an excellent breakfast. It's older, but well taken care of and the innkeeper and staff were great.
Clean and comfortable rooms in a great part of town. The bathroom was very large and the property was beautiful.
(Translated by Google) A very pretty, cozy, and beautifully decorated cottage. The jacuzzi was very pleasant after a day of hiking. Dominique, a French woman, gave us a very warm welcome and offered advice on sightseeing, restaurants, and more—she was a pleasure to chat with. Breakfast was excellent, served on the quiet patio surrounded by greenery. Perfectly located at 2 State Street and not far from the Mission. (Original) Très joli cottage, cosy, joliment décoré. Avec jacuzzi très agréable après une journée de marche. Accueil très chaleureux de Dominique, une Frenchy, qui vous conseillera sur les visite, les restaurants… et avec qui il est agréable d’échanger. Excellent petit déjeuner dans le patio calme au milieu de la verdure. Parfaitement situé à 2 rue de State St et non loin de la Mission.
(Translated by Google) A beautiful little bed and breakfast. Lovingly furnished cottages, some with a hot tub. The breakfast is incredible. Delicious quiche with croissants or baguette and fruit. Highly recommended! (Original) Wunderschönes kleinen Bed & Breakfast. Liebevoll eingerichtete Cottages zum Teil mit Hottub. Das Frühstück ist unglaublich. Sehr leckere Quiche mit Croissants oder Baguette und Obst. Sehr zu empfehlen!!!
This was sophisticated charming comfort at its best. The cottage ambiance was so peaceful and relaxing.
We had a fabulous time at Secret Garden Inn and Cottages. The location was perfect, we were able to walk to State Street Santa Barbara. The bed was comfortable and the room quiet. Breakfast on the front porch was delicious. We definitely will stay here again. Highly recommend.
Everything was perfect! As expected and the Garden room was perfect for our pups to enjoy. Only thing that would have made our stay even better would be an option for breakfast other than quiche.
This was a beautiful location! The kingfisher cottage was lovely. The bed was uncomfortable; too soft for my bad backed spouse. The morning breakfast was the highlight of the day! Quiche, crossaint, fruit, and coffee...yes!!! The staff accommodated our request based on health needs as well. We enjoyed the hot tub, too, it was relaxing after many walks around town. All in all, a wonderful stay with pretty gardens in a quiet area of Santa Barbara!
The rooms were great for a two-night stay and we really appreciated having breakfast delivered in the morning! It was great being able to sit outside in the morning and in the evening.
This review is about sustainability! 🤗 I am so appreciative of your attention to detail when it comes to the offerings to your guest. Beyond the absolutely stunning native gardens, I love that you offer real glassware, real towels, and bathroom products that aren’t wrapped in plastic. By 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish, and it means a lot to me as a customer to support businesses that help mitigate the pollution crisis by offering reusable or circular items to their guests. So thank you for taking the lead and setting an example for how Santa Barbara businesses can operate! Being this close to the beach, it only makes sense to care for it. By way of listening the amount of plastics produced and consumed on site. Kudos to you! And absolutely lovely in that you have here. We will be back!

Absolutely loved our stay. The gardens were beautiful and it was close to town. I actually used the hot tub 5 times during our stay; was great for my back. We enjoyed hiking Rattlesnake Canyon as well.
We stayed in the Oriole room for one night. It was a very nice room with a hottub. The location was great and we were very happy with the delicious breakfast in the morning.
Spent a weekend away with our two pups at the Secret Garden! Stayed in the Hummingbird suite. Super convenient location, cute gardens, and very pet friendly. The breakfast each morning was great, and the staff was lovely. The suite itself was outdated, there were some insects that enjoyed making their way inside, and we had a lot of ants in our shower. The bed seemed new but the entire room had a musty smell unfortunately and the air conditioner was the loudest unit we have ever heard, and didn't seem to cool the room at all. Sadly it made for a restless hot two night sleep.
Secret garden Inn & Cottages is a lovely place to stay at, very friendly and kind personal, excellent breakfast included in the price.
(Translated by Google) A place with old-world charm, immersed in tranquility. Delicious homemade breakfast. One area that could be improved: outlets for charging devices and a TV. (Original) Posto dal fascino antico, immerso nella quiete. Buona colazione fatta in casa. Aspetto da migliorare: prese per caricare i dispositivi e TV.

We had a lovely stay at Secret Garden Inn. We loved the location as we were able to walk easily to the coffee shop and walked to the mission. The rooms are older but they are definitely taken care of and have character. Huge bonus was that it was dog friendly and the breakfast was delicious. Thank you for a wonderful place to stay!
