This place is a gem. Quirky, in a good way! Great service, rooms with everything you need and bags of character, great surroundings and very convenient location for restaurants etc. Oh and breakfast is lovely and served to your room. Highly recommended.

Gorgeous, cosy and comfortable B&B in a secluded garden setting. Our room was cosy and comfortable with a hot tub in our private yard. We had a real kettle in our room which I really appreciate. Our host, Dominique, provided a superb breakfast of croissants, scrambled eggs, muffins and fresh fruit. She was very helpful in showing us where the nearest launderette was and giving us lots of information. It was so nice there that we stayed an extra night ! WiFi was a bit hit and miss because we were in the cottage furthest from the main house.

Very comfortable room and lovely gardens. Friendly staff.

I wish I had discovered the Secret Garden Inn years ago! The French owner, greeted us, the room was charming, most charming places have no tv so my husband was happy, free parking in the back, breakfast was served in the dining room....coffee, homemade cake and croissants, a delicious egg vegetable tort, and fruit...could not be better...

We had a wonderful stay at Secret Garden Inn & Cottages. It is a peaceful, quiet setting of beautiful gardens in Santa Barbara. The cottage room we had was well appointed, with tea kettle, a small dining table, extra floor heater, extra blankets and bathroom amenities. Breakfast was delicious with homemade quiche, fruit, croissants tea/coffee and juice. We would recommend to anyone looking to stay in Santa Barbara close to downtown. Thank you Dominique for an amazing stay!

We love staying here every year! The breakfast is delicious and it’s super close to everything.

Small room, well decorated, very comfortable, nice hot tub, excellent breakfast, great restaurant advice, wonderful break for wife and I.

We spent the two nights at the Secret Garden Inn this weekend. This inn is our absolute go to when we visit Santa Barbara. The grounds are a garden and the quaint rooms offer a peaceful surroundings. Throw in a delicious breakfast and a dip in your personal hot tub to round out the day. Down town is close by and easily walkable for a nice dinner. We are already planning our next visit.

Dominique was the best host I’ve had - she was so nice and accommodating, and made us a superbe homemade French breakfast with so much care. The room was cozy and comfortable, with a nice hot jacuzzi in our patio that we used late at night to relax before sleeping. Truly a wonderful experience, would recommend to anyone!

An immaculate, charming inn I’d return to in a minute! Innkeeper Dominique is gracious and her breakfasts are out of this world. My room in the main house was lovely, with thoughtful touches such as ground coffee, an electric kettle and a French press. Comfortable queen bed with lovely linens and quilts.

Great breakfast, not so great room. Bed was noisy and lumpy from some plastic covering on the mattress. Shower didn’t get hot. Place is pet tolerant, wouldn’t say it’s really pet friendly. Absolutely fantastic breakfast though.

It was such a quaint little place. Everything was so for a nice quiet and peaceful setting. The cottage was just what I thought it would be.

This is above and beyond one of the coziest and most welcoming experiences I have had in a bed and breakfast. Dominika is a wonderful host and decorates each place to feel like you're coming home to a comfortable place you've been dreaming of. She's attentive, caring and does everything she can to ensure you have a great stay. Also, the property is absolutely gorgeous! Lots of beautiful pathways leading through well kept flowers and gorgeous trees. Thank you for the great stay - I will definitely be back!

Came here with my wife to get away for the weekend. Absolutely phenomenal stay. The room was gorgeous. The service is excellent. The location is the best! Everything we needed was a short walk away. We planned for a no stress weekend and we got it!

In a residential area. Felt very private. Fairly quiet; usual residential area noise - trash pickup, tree trimming. General feeling of safety. All rooms and casitas open into the gardens or to private patios with Jacuzzis. We had a single room. Clawfoot tub/shower. Window AC. Full Breakfast brought to our room every morning: egg dish, fresh croissants, juice, coffee, fruit etc. Very good, very filling. We dined outside on the deck. Private off street parking. There is a really good ice cream shop down the block. Otherwise, we had to drive to restaurants, shops and other entertainment. Dogs allowed. Good value.

A wonderful, calm, restful place to stay. Beautiful individual cabins surround a courtyard where breakfast is served. We have enjoyed coming here for years. Dominique, the owner, is a great hostess.

It was a very unfriendly experience all around. Those in the cottages are not allowed into the main house stating “due to Covid 19 protocol”. Haven’t seen that at any other place I’ve stayed in the past year. I find the whole idea of a bed and breakfast to be one of meeting new people. I was secluded to my own cottage behind a very tall fence. I only saw one other person the entire time I was there. She delivered breakfast to my patio. No words exchanged at all. Upon checking in, the owner was nonchalant and short with all of the instructions. The hot tub was dirty. I did not use. I texted the after hours number (as instructed if before 7AM and because I could NOT go into the main house to talk to anyone) to request breakfast earlier than I had first stated for my second morning. No text back until hours later (post check out). I replied that I am glad I didn’t have an emergency and told them where I had left my keys. Their reply was “I guess if you had an emergency, you would have called!” WOW! I own a customer service based business and I would die if any of my employees responded like that. And I highly doubt you would have answered the phone anyway! I hate writing this review, but I would never stay there again and I DO NOT recommend this place if you are visiting beautiful Santa Barbara. There are WAY better B&B’s than this one (even on the same street!)
